Jessie (Japanese: ムサシ Musashi) is a member of Team Rocket, more specifically part of a trio with James and Meowth, that follows Ash and his friends around in Pokémon the Series, usually trying to steal Ash's Pikachu.

Jessie is a tall porcelain skinned woman with magenta long hair that she wears curled in a comet-tail behind her head. She typically wears a pair of large green orb earrings that have become a staple signature part of her look and is never seen without them, even in disguise.

Jessie usually wears a customized Team Rocket uniform of her own design. consisting of a short black undershirt that exposes her midriff under a white high collared sleeved shirt emblazoned with a large red R that Team Rocket is known for, a short white miniskirt, black high heeled thigh-high boots, and shoulder length black gloves.

She and James and Meowth loves to call Ash and his friends "twerps".

Jessie's mother, Miyamoto, was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of five, Miyamoto left on a mission to the Andes to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon Mew. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of food, but she revealed in Snow Way Out! that the "snowgasboard" meals were one of her few happy childhood memories.

During her teenage years, she has taken many jobs to support her life, like a nurse, actress, and even a biker gang member. Later she would become a member of Team Rocket, where she met her eventual partners James and Meowth.

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with Cassidy, another member of Team Rocket. Beginning in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, she has a rivalry with Matori, Giovanni's secretary and an elite Team Rocket operative.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an Arbok and a Seviper. In The Ninja-Poké Showdown, she expressed a preference for Poison-type Pokémon in general, though several Bug-type and Ghost-type Pokémon have since appeared on her team including Yanmega, Gourgeist, and Mimikyu.

Jessie is prone to vanity and explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in The Tower of Terror, Tracey Gets Bugged, Don't Touch That 'dile!, A Tail with a Twist, Maxxed Out!, A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!, One for the Goomy!, and Good Friends, Great Training!. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as Meowth or her Seviper. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as in the episode The Battling Eevee Brothers when Misty calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: oba-san). She shares this trait with James, who hates being referred to as an old man. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. At times, her anger is also shown to scare James and Meowth, usually when they are expecting it or if she really loses her temper. This intense anger was demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands, and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums have become less frequent and eruptive over the next story arcs.

While she is very incompetent when it comes to stealing Pokémon, Jessie eventually becomes a highly accomplished Performer and a Master Class semi-finalist. Indeed, after she loses to Serena, she is overjoyed by her steady progress, instead of going on her usual rants or crying like the others.

Despite her short-tempered nature, she does care for her Pokemon and her partners in crime James and Meowth.

Jessie also takes part in Pokemon Contests and Showcases in Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos.

The Pokémon she owns includes Arbok, Lickitung, Wobbuffet, Seviper, Dustox, Yanmega, Woobat, Female Frillish, Gourgeist and Mimikyu.

Her Mimikyu can use a Z-Move called Let's Snuggle Forever.
