She is nerdy, she is quiet, she is talkative, she is awkward, she is brave, she is dumb, and she is a genius. She is Peter Parker. To a point anyways.
Being a clone of Peter Parker, she is exactly like the boy. Well, almost exact if you don't ignore the lady parts. But that aside, she has his face, his memories, and his personality, meaning she does talk exactly like him. She has his speaking mannerisms, his quirks, the way he rambles on and on about nothing, his fast quips and quick remarks, and the talented ability to banter over nothing. As well as a great dosage of sarcasm. And because of her bantering skills, she has a quick wit and fast reaction time and is often hard to surprise or insult or shock when it comes to words or statements. Unfortunately, because of this, she also has a very masculine way of speaking, with much "bro's" and "dude's" and the like. She's very masculine in the way she acts as well, not femininely-balanced in the way of personality.
Because of her limited interaction with anyone that wasn't Peter Parker, she's also very socially awkward. Of course, she knows the basic idea because of her memories of what he's done, but it's hard for her to differentiate what's his memories and what's her memories and who she's met and what she can and can't do, especially since she has to remember that she's not him and that she's not a guy. That means she often catches herself on what she's saying and has to realize what exactly she can and can't do and what's appropriate to social norms. However, because of her "male upbringing", she's also very tough and won't back down from a fight. She's protective over her friends and will go out of her way to defend them, even if it means getting injured herself. She doesn't have much of a temper, but she's always willing to get into a fight if the reasons are right, and won't hesitate to throw the first punch. She's especially caring of her clones -- or what's left of them -- and Peter, and might not be seen as a mother figure, but can definitely be seen as the sisterly type.
Jessica has a very sensitive mindstate. As stated before, she's unsure of what's her own memories and what's Peter's and that means she can have breakdowns and meltdowns pretty quickly, if given the opportunity. While she's normally cool-headed -- outside of the comic relief reactions -- she does get upset about the confusion on who she really is. However, she tries to keep herself emotionally stable for the most part, not letting the fact that she's not her own person overwhelm her. Things like the fact that she has to make her own life, that people will complain about the lives they have, who they are, or what they were given, prove to be very sensitive to her and she tries to her best to ignore it and prove herself to be the one and only her.
Even though she's Peter's clone though, she knows exactly what goes on in his head and near-knows what he's thinking and how he'll react or what exactly he'll do in certain situations. She can judge him pretty well and knows his friends just as well as he, everything he knows, and everything he's learned up to the time of her birth. However, she rarely takes advantage of this as she'd rather make her own impressions with other people her own way. She's not particularly bothered with how people think of her though or whether the words she says bothers them or not. Well, at first, until she realizes that it's probably incredibly cruel and that she should apologize. But she'd never say anything harsh on purpose because when you take the Peter Parker aside, she's a pretty gentle girl. Who has spider powers.
However, there's a point where she forces herself to be different from Peter. She forces herself to cheerier out of costume, remind herself less of her genetic template just so she doesn't hate herself or Peter in that unique way of self-loathing. She tries to mold her own personality through her experiences, someone who's not just that dorky, quick-witted kid, but instead, someone more. Unfortunately, this ends up with her being less of a jokester than Spider-man in costume, using short quips and generally avoiding most long-winded jokes unlike her counterpart. She can get rather avoidant and has a very strong serious side that shows up a lot more often than, you know.
This is partly because Jessica is filled with all the trauma that Peter has went through as well as a lot of her own. She used to be a boy, and one day, found herself with female parts, discovered she was a clone, created by her most hated enemy and this leaves her filled with a lot of frustrations and unaffiliated anger towards something that she can't help. While she's not quick to lash out, or even to get angry, when she gets pissed off, she goes all out. Despite the fact that Peter would never kill anyone, Jessica is fully willing to take out all those who did this to her. She can get reckless, she can get headstrong -- as much as she thinks and as much as she plans, as tactical as she tries to be, she still jumps into things headfirst and doesn't think of the consequences or downsides.
Which, of course, means she'll have a large part of her made for dealing with the guilt and depression she'll inevitably collect. She's a walking ball of repressed emotions and often times, this leads her to "spaz" or take it out on others, or the most likely, herself. She is constantly taking out her actions and others' choices and blaming it upon herself and leading her to fits of self-loathing. She knows she has problems and she knows she has issues and oftentimes, she'll address them and then avoid them or ignore them. She's constantly guilt-ridden and has the weight of the world on her shoulders (or had. She still carries the feeling, anyways.) The happiness and joking and cheerfulness that she puts up is often a facade just to make things easier to deal with and cope. The less she thinks, the easier it is. She can handle being a clone, sure, but the moment she lets that mask fall, everything that she had to deal with would be thrown at her and she wouldn't be able to avoid it anymore. Yeah, she's not a real person, but not thinking about it and just pretending makes the weight lighter. So she tells herself. This, and mainly this, is the reason she is so intent to create her own life, no matter how much she jokes about it. She just wants to forget.
At first, she refused to be called Jessica and was under the strong impression that she was, indeed, Peter Parker, no matter what. However, after meeting him and finding out exactly why she was created and by who, she's settled on trying to make a new life for herself and characterize the person of Jessica Drew as her own -- someone different from Peter Parker and at the same time, will still remind one of him.
Abilities/Powers:
Oh boy.
So based on her name, it can be insinuated that she does indeed have spider powers. (Shocking, I know!)
Like Spider-Man, she comes with all the basics. Her hands and feet have "inter-atomic binding forces of matter, allowing her to form temporary molecular bonds between her body and another object". Basically, she can cling to stuff and it's almost impossible to make her let go if she doesn't willingly. She has a "Spider-sense", which is a buzzing in her head that warns her of danger, superhuman strength where she can currently lift six tons, superhuman speed where she is faster than even the fittest human, durability to the point where she can withstand great impacts and leaves her body tougher and more resistant to injuries, agility as her tendons are more limber and elastic and allows her to create even the most complicated stunts and movements, a natural sense of balance, reflexes fifteen times greater than that of a normal human, and -- for once! -- unlike, Spider-Man, organic web-shooting. This means she can form web (a strong, elastic adhesive substance) within her body and release it through her fingertips, allowing her to use it for web-slinging, create nets, and pretty much anything her imagination can cook up.
Powers aside, Peter Parker was stated to have a 145 IQ in canon, and therefore, Jessica has one too! That means she's smart. Brainy smart. She has crazy intellectual prowess that's enough to create an inorganic new bonding substance based off of her "father's" research papers over the symbiote. She has mechanical genius, breezes through school (or would if she was in school) with ease, would take advanced everything, and is an overall giant nerd. She's a computer whiz as well. Jessica also has S.H.I.E.L.D. training in fighting and general use of weapons, as well as some CIA training from back when she was in the labs.
Items/Weapons:
She will just come with a backpack, as she'll be wearing her Spider-Woman costume on arrival.
