Appearance
Standing at a modest five feet nothing, Jess’a’s frame is scrawny at best. His wiry form is wound in lean muscle made for speed, and very little strength; he carries little extra weight, baring the very real possibility of one too many missed meals. His sharp eyes remain his most striking features; mismatching shades of peridot blue and deep, introspective green set into a heavy brow, partially covered by tousled, sandy-blonde hair.
Both his ears are tipped with black fur, and each has been pierced twice, with both a simple stud and a hanging teardrop amethyst; something very much out of place on what appears to be an average street rat. He’s missing a small patch from his left ear, something he tries to compensate for by ruffling his hair, though it does little good.
His tail is long, sweeping, and luxuriant. It isn’t lacking in fur, and is often coiled around the Miqo’te’s own leg.
Jess’a’s flesh bares the signs of one who barely sees the sun (telling of his Keeper roots); so pale that the faint webbing of veins beneath is visible (almost as if it’s translucent) it serves only to wash him out, to leave him looking sickly and gaunt - even when he mightn’t be.
His full lips are tinted ever so slightly with a slight peach hue. Two painted green stars sit upon the crest of his left cheek, matching the corresponding eye as if to detract form just how pale he is. A small scar sits below these painted-on stars, deep and grizzly, as if it was never quite given the attention that it might have needed.
The little rogue’s attire is haphazard and likely pilfered; stolen leathers with thigh-high red boots, a mostly-open vest wound around his narrow chest with scuffed belts and straps. A pair of gleaming daggers often sit at his hips, low and sharp - resonating with the visible sign of toxicity, as if they’re constantly tipped with some poison or another.
About his neck sits a simple amethyst pendant on a silver chain that’s usually tucked into his vest; the chain is long enough that it very nearly reaches his navel, it might occasionally slip free, or Jess’a might just toy with it when caught on-edge, or lost in thought. His right hand is graced with a silver ring inlaid with a matching amethyst, and about both wrists sit a pair of iron cuffs that almost look as if they once may have had a matching chain linking them together.
This Miqo’re’s features are nonetheless soft, gentle - still boyish in appearance as if to betray his age; his smiles are sly, coy, coquettish and distrustful. He’s watchful, and careful. He moves with feline grace, effortless agility, smooth, unburdened agility; as if his every move is part of some carefully choreographed dance.
The smell of burnt coffee, sea-salt and an acrid, acidic edge of something entirely incomprehensible follow his fluid steps about like a pervasive and undeniable perfume.

Major Traits and Flaws
Major Traits
Light Heart - Light Foot
He is fast. He's agile, and he moves with a doubtlessly feline sort of grace, as if he's somehow mastered control over his limbs to a point of knowing just what his limit is, and remaining well within it. His lack of any conceivable muscle mass might have something to do with it.
Lion's Heart
Despite how callous and selfish he might like to come across, Jess'a does have friends that he cares for deeply. He has an unwavering sense of loyalty; a firm belief that he should always, always look out for his friends, and he does. Often times putting them before himself, a rare display of complete selflessness that he's loath to truly admit to.
Generosity Killed the Cat
Jess'a has a quiet habit of doting on his friends. He'll shower them with gifts, with stolen goods, or foods he thinks they might like; even if it means he might end up going hungry for a day - he doesn't seem to mind at all. It's yet another quality he wishes he was better at hiding.
Flaws
What does that say..?
Jess'a is completely illiterate. He can't read and he can't write, and he's very, very ashamed of this little piece of information. He does his best to pretend that he knows how to read - even if it means following street signs he can't understand, or delivering notes to the wrong person (he'll even go as far as to ask a stranger upon the street to read something for him if he has the chance). He has no desire to learn, simply because it's an imperfection he's trying to deny even exists.
Hiss fit
Jess'a has a remarkably short fuse. He's slow to anger, but when he's angry - his temper is harsh. He hisses and he spits like a cornered cat, making his dissent quite clear.
Scoundrel at Heart
He's a pirate. he's not trustworthy. He's stolen from friends, and he'd steal from family if he had them around. He does what he has to do in order to survive, and a lifetime of living the way he has doesn't leave much room within him for loyalty.
Combat Skills and Style
Jessa's combat style is direct, and fluid. He's remarkably fast on his feet, impossibly agile, and even more difficult to pin down or trap. He relies on stealth, and sneak attacks in order to get the upper hand in combat, even if it makes him a coward. He's very skilled with a knife, and he knows which parts of the body are most vulnerable. He's expert at finding nicks and grooves in heavier armour where he might have to, and he often shows little hesitation in taking down a target. Though, Jess'a will rarely (if ever) kill. He seeks - mostly - simply to incapacitate for long enough to ensure a safe retreat for him. He's experimented with poisons in the past, though his lack of patience has left them unfinished and mostly useless - some of them can sting, if used correctly.
