Jessa Jones

Biases

Positive Bias

Jessa Jones holds a positive bias toward those who work with their hands, especially those who show respect for the land and its cycles. She values grit and humility, often favoring quiet doers over loud talkers. This bias triggers for anyone with ranks in the Farmer's Guild.

Negative Bias

Her negative bias triggers around people who waste resources or act entitled—she has no patience for those who demand without contributing. This bias triggers when she sees a character waste resources or demand supplies they haven't worked for.

NPC Traits

Jessa is practical, patient, and deeply rooted in routine. She believes in slow, consistent effort and has a no-nonsense attitude that commands quiet respect.

Talent

Jessa has an uncanny ability to tell the health of a crop or soil just by touch and scent. Her knowledge of planting cycles and composting has revived dying plots and fed whole sections of Camp Hope.

Mannerism

She hums old folk tunes while working and has a habit of talking to her plants as if they’re old friends. Her speech is peppered with farming idioms and seasonal metaphors.

Interactions with Others

Jessa treats most people like unruly apprentices—gruff but fair. She mentors young farmers with a strict hand but is quietly proud of their growth and fiercely protective of them.

Ideal

"The land gives when it's treated right. We owe it care, not conquest." Her guiding principle is sustainability and respect for the natural world.

Bond

Jessa is devoted to the communal fields of Camp Hope, seeing them as her life's work. She also keeps a hand-carved pendant from her late wife, who helped her start the first post-Fall garden.

Flaw

She resists change and mistrusts new farming technologies, even when they might help. Her stubbornness has caused tension with younger Guild members who want innovation.
