IN CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: Jessica Jones
CHARACTER AGE: 30s?
CHARACTER CANON: MCU, specifically her own show (which was MCU until it wasn't and now it is again).
CANON POINT: Post-The Defenders. (nts: maybe 2x02?)
ABILITIES: Due to experimentation on her after a car accident when she was a child, Jessica possesses the following capabilities:
- Enhanced strength (able to kill a human being with a punch, stop/lift a slow-moving car, tear a car door off to use as a shield)
- Enhanced durability/healing factor (denser musculature and bones which leaves her able to heal from beatings, damage inflicted on herself, or car accidents with bruising and cuts rather than more serious injuries, needs to consume much larger quantities of alcohol to feel the effects)
- Enhanced speed/stamina (able to catch up to a moving car and someone fleeing up a flight of stairs without getting winded, able to run a mile in under four minutes)
- Ability to resist mind control (this is not a natural ability but one she developed after resisting Kilgrave's mind control; a vaccine was developed from her blood to help others resist the effects)
None of these mean she is invulnerable, in fact Jessica is frequently seen recovering from injuries sustained from fights or accidents. This just means that she's able to heal from what would kill a typical human or leave them with permanent damage to their bodies.

SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?:
In the first half of her life, Jessica grew up within a stable middle-class household with her mother, father, and younger brother. They weren't rich but they were comfortable with minimal struggles and were on their way to their annual vacation by a lake community (notably home to a cheap amusement park; they weren't taking vacations anywhere extravagant) when a car accident killed both her parents* and her younger brother. Post-accident, she was adopted by Dorothy Walker, former actress and mother to child star Patricia Walker; mostly as an attempt to clean up her daughter's image. The Walkers were much more affluent and Jessica would often accompany the family to award shows and events, but she also witnessed the abuse Dorothy inflicted on Trish and the effect that fame and abuse of power had on Trish, leading her to become addicted to drugs.
During her time under Kilgrave's control, she experienced high-living and witnessed abuse of power and wealth, which lead to her completely rejecting it once she thought he was gone. She moved out of Trish's building and into a much smaller apartment in Hell's Kitchen that doubled as her office as a private investigator. She favors cheaper booze and groceries and a lot of her apartment doubles as multiple purposes (as mentioned her living area is part of her office and her front door and the window reads Alias Investigations, the name of her private investigator agency).
She wasn't always resistant to material goods and expensive taste, though: throughout college she would use her abilities to break into stores after closing to shoplift and damage ATMs to steal the money. After her boyfriend was killed*, she encouraged Trish (who was addicted to drugs and trying to start a career as a pop star) to enter rehab and began working in various low-end jobs in an attempt to do better for herself, but only started thriving in her career after becoming a PI.
*(In season two it's discovered that her mother actually survived and underwent the same experimentations that Jessica did, resulting in similar abilities. It's also discovered that she murdered Jessica's boyfriend which lead to her reuniting with Trish and encouraging her to get clean. At her canonpoint, she is still unaware of both these things.)
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?: She dropped out after falling out with Trish but I believe she majored in business, though she was unsure about it and kind of taking classes just to get an education.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?: The thing that set everything into motion is the car accident that lead to her being experimented on and gaining her abilities.
DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S: Disturbia - Rihanna
NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN: Alcohol and sex are the chief ones, both as ways to numb herself and to clear her head enough to sleep.
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?: Bourbon or whiskey.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?: Fried and in a breakfast sandwich, otherwise she hates them.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?: Trish's if it meant protecting her (at least that's what she'd tell herself).
