“I was so shocked with how forward she is with Cloud,” Lindbeck says. The thirst increases exponentially in these early chapters. By the end of Chapter 4 (about a day later in-game), she invites Cloud over for what sounds a lot like home-cooked pizza followed by a hookup. In Jessie's first conversation with Cloud, she presses him on his relationship status with Tifa. “She goes after what she wants unabashedly and lays all her cards out on the table. She’s very unlike both of them,” Lindbeck says. “Jessie acts as a really interesting foil to Tifa and Aerith. While Jessie’s funny and lighthearted, it’s her confidence that makes her admirable.

She also happens to think you (Cloud Strife) are cute. For a game where a talking fox/lion has a tail that’s constantly on fire, her personality is strikingly realistic.
