GENERAL STUFF
Name: Jesse Couffaine
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Everything of Jesse is her father, except for her skin colour. Jesse’s skin is quite tanned, something she receives from her mother’s heritage. She was blessed with heterochromia iridum: her left eye is blue, and her right eye is green. Jesse has straight, elbow length hair. It is black with green tips that go around halfway up her hair.
It has a hidden undercut as well as a hidden rose tattoo, both hidden by her hair. Only family knows about the tattoo.
Jesse has a total of seven piercings: her firsts, her seconds, industrial, helix, rook, septum and snake bites. Her father has never been affected by the piercings, and always says that she can get whatever she wants. She wears very little makeup, but always has a strong cat eye game going.
Style: Jesse loves black ripped jeans, particularly ones she can wear with a belt. She also loves to wear either blue or green shirts, typically green. Her shoes of choice are studded boots. She will wear a leather or a denim jacket depending on her mood.
Personality: Jesse is kind and caring. She has a slightly sassy side, and can be quite sarcastic when annoyed. She stands up for what is right in any situation, no matter is she’s Jesse or Taipan. She is confident and defiant, and she will always do what she can do right wrongs, even if they aren’t her own.
Likes: Roarr, her father, music, being Caspian
Dislikes: Hawk Moth, akumatised villains (when they’re akumatised, not when they arent’t), being told that she can’t do music
Background: Jesse has only one parent, and she functions extremely well with him. When the girl he was secretly in love with, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, got married off to the man she had been secretly in love with, Luka obviously had to move on. He met another musician, an African American girl of his age named Nia. The two of them quickly fell in love, so much so that they began to contemplate marriage after two years.
But Nia slowly started to fall out of love. She didn’t know why, but she was. And then she found out she was pregnant. It wasn’t the prospect of being a mother that scared her: it was being forced to stay in a relationship that was losing its love. She could see how much Luka wanted this child, so she waited until they were about to have the baby. Luka left the hospital with only his daughter.
Luka raised Jesse as a single father, and she loves him for it. She takes his love of music, and she loves to perform. Whenever she has a free moment, Jesse will be in her room singing and playing guitar. It’s her passion.
Other: She’s a much better motorbike rider than her father, and she has her own.
PARENT STUFF
Parents: Luka Couffaine, African American mother named Nia
What their parents look like now: Luka’s hair is now slightly longer and a lot bluer. He’s slowly transitioned to a darker blue hair wise. He has a slight moustache and also a slight beard. He also has matching snakebite piercings, ones that turn into snake teeth when he becomes Viperion.
What their relationship with their parents is like: Luka is all that Jesse has. Her mother Nia has never been in her life, so Luka is the only parents she’s had. Her relationship with her father is extremely tight nit, and they both help each other with their music.
MIRACULOUS STUFF
Kwami: Roarr
Miraculous: So it’s kinda like a bracelet that connects to the fingers via four chains. It has a tiger pawprint in the centre
Activated: The chains, bracelet and ring parts are black. The part in the centre is purple with a pawprint.
Hidden: The chains, bracelet and ring parts are rose gold. The part in the centre takes the form of green aventurine.
Name: Caspian (it’s an extinct subspecies of tiger)
Weapon: Her weapon is very similar to Chat Noir’s, in the sense that it is a staff the majority of the time. Unlike Chat Noir’s, however, the Tiger weapon is actually two whips. They can retract into their handles, and those handles can then get put together to create a staff that is about double the length of Chat Noir’s staff when completely retracted, as both whips are the same size as his one staff. The whips act very similar to how Multimouse’s skipping rope did: they are quite thin but extremely flexible and strong. Jesse is able to manipulate the length as well to suit her needs. The two retracted whips sit one on top of the other when not in use, similarly to how Chat Noir’s baton does.
Ability: Stunner - Jesse has a roar that can stun people. Once activated, it is mostly unlimited, at least for roughly 10 minutes. This is only if she uses it in short bursts with little intensity. The longer she uses it for and the higher the intensity (volume), the faster the time depletes.
Transforming words: “Roarr, Claws Scratch!”/“Roarr, Claws Retract!”
Appearance: Jesse’s suit very much takes after Roarr’s appearance. The majority of it is a telemagenta with black stripes. The suit is completely black from elbows to fingers, as well as knees to toes. The suit doesn’t cover all of her neck, but it covers enough so that her rose tattoo cannot be seen.
Other than the suit, little about Jesse actually changes. Much like her father, her teeth become pointy and tiger like, but her snakebite piercings stay where they are. Her blue eye becomes orange and her green eye becomes purple, and the whites of her eyes become yellow.
Her hair becomes tied in an upside down braid, revealing the undercut. The rest of her hair is pulled into a braid leading on from the upside down braid, which is wrapped into a bun. The green of her hair becomes a darker version of the colour of her suit.
Hero who gave them their miraculous: Viperion
