Jessica McGann

Jessica McGann is a character in all incarnations of Moriah Blake. She originally functioned as a partner in crime for Sally Roxy, then as a love interest for Patrick Donovan, then as her own character until the end of the show.

Character description
Jessica acts gloomy and depressed, often being annoyed by the foibles of others. However, usually when around Sally, she manages to be cheerful and oftentimes obnoxious.

Interests
Jessica's interests range from theater, to singing, to watching anime. Almost everything she does she does with Sally, at least until the end of Season Four, when Sally leaves Washington.

Character bio
Jessica never got along with her parents (who, surprisingly, are still together); but when she came out to them as a lesbian, they kicked her out of their home. She went to live with Sally for a little while, until her parents simmered down and let her return. It is hinted that she tried coming out to them earlier, around sixth grade, and they had a negative reaction. Jessica's sexuality is often in question throughout the show.

Massacre and beyond
In the Moriah Blake Massacre, Jessica was one of the students called down the the Commons area by Irene, the lead shooter. Irene planned on avenging her ex-best friend Anna, both by murdering her then-boyfriend Devin Baker, and by shooting Jessica, who once dated her. She succeeded; Devin was killed, and Jessica shot in the stomach. She appears in the next episode, when she is in the hospital, but alive.

For unknown reasons, Jessica continued attending Moriah Blake after the shooting. On the first day back, she attacked Scott, who had been trying to provoke her by suggesting that she had a part in what happened.

When Sally returns to Washington, she and Jessica kiss. It is later hinted that they went on to be somewhere between best friends and lovers, eventually adopting a child together.

Beliefs
Jessica's political and religious beliefs are never explored in the series.
