Jessica Francois Magritte

Ten years old, daughter of an English diplomat and a renowned French violinist.

She attends an international school not far from Mina’s high school.

Because her parents frequently travel out of the country, Jessica is a lonely girl who covets a more ordinary family. Consequently, she has a propensity to condescend to those around her.

She’s keenly perceptive to others’ emotions, often unconsciously empathizing with someone’s anxieties, loneliness, or other emotional distress.

She never seems able to express her empathy compassionately, however, which is a source of much of her frustration and self-loathing.
