Biography[]
Jess is a hangaround at the Mayans Motorcycle Club, Santo Padre charter. She is the sister of Jazmine. Jess can usually be seen working the bar and offering her services as a partner to the Mayans. It has been noted by some members of other charters that Jess probably isn't a very popular companion, due to her supposedly bearing a striking resemblance to pop musician, Justin Bieber.
Jess seems to be the polar opposite of her sister. Jazmine is fierce and loyal whilst Jess on the other hand appears to be very quiet, reserved and self conscious. The pair also seems to have a tough relationship.
The relationship between the pair only gets worse when the Mayans and the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club go to war.
