Blah, Why?
Taken from a bio on the DQ8 website:
Despite her casual dress and her inquisitive expressions, Jessica is actually the daughter of a famous family of rural aristocrats. Hidden away within her are the seeds of powerful magic, so she currently studies magic in the hopes of unlocking that power. Jessica is also trying to hunt down Dhoulmagus, and this is why she eventually joins up with you and Yangus. What happened between her and Dhoulmagus to make her want to leave such a comfortable life behind?
Of course, we all know what “casual dress” euphemizes in video games, but, more importantly, how many times are we going to see this archetype rehashed in video games?
Hero with unknown origins to save world.
Buxom rich chick with romantic interest can cast spells.
And on, and on.
Gotta go, pick up on this later.
