GUESS WHO IT IS?!?!
YEAH!

JESSE MFIN MCBRIDE

(Oh, also this is Aleena controlling him. Sup? Hey.)

Senior, Azurcrest, Prefect (And he's actually dedicated, okay!)
Raised in South Buffalo in an intensely Irish Catholic neighborhood, even though his maternal grandmother is OBVI Polish and his paternal grandmother is lying about the fact that she is OBVI of Sephardic Jewish descent
He's a huge geek and loves blending muggle and magical understandings of science. He's extremely gifted in science/math/hermeticism (but I'm not, so don't ask me about it)
If I am playing him right, he SHOULD be charming in a goofy, funny way :) He is very self-assured and laidback.
His Senior Project is his life. He is essentially attempting to create apparition for muggles (or teleportation). This is a project he has been working on since the 5th grade. This looks like two "Apparition Machines," one of which is located at Gooseberry and one at his home in Buffalo.
He travels A LOT, mostly because apparition doesn't work inside Gooseberry limits and he has to leave the boundaries to test his machines. He also leaves frequently to accept grant and cash prizes, since his work is self-funded. Plus, he's gotta travel to conduct negotiations with MACUSA reps about potentially breaking the International Statute of Secrecy with his project. International Man of Mystery.
Personality wise, he's a bro. Nerd bro.
A fixture at Grotto parties - where he is always a little bit out of control
While he has cut back since his sophomore year, Jesse is definitely a booze hound. He's super high functioning, but if your characters know him really well (roommates, primarily), they should be worried about him :(
He's obsessed with Quinn... uh, in a cute way??

IMPORTANT!: He has a band (SUCK IT, DIEGO ;* ) called the Canadian Ballerinas. It has a kind of Strokes-esque vibe. He plays the drums. If your character wants in on this action, let me know. If no one wants to volunteer, he will be aggressively recruiting soon.

Uhh... I can't remember what else. I'm so excited! I'm being a spazz! I'm sorry!

EDIT: JESSE'S BAND NEEDS A FRONT MAN!!!

Late to this party, BUT HERE WE GO.

Cecil loves Jesse and sees him as a good friend/roommate/person, an amazingly smart guy, and just generally fun to be around. That said, he might be the roommate that gives Cecil the most to worry about (that drinking, Jess; that obsession with Quinn, Jess; that never talking about how you actually feel, Jess) and he might fuss over him a little more than Jesse actually wants. But it really is just because he cares. Also, he's 100% contributing to that 'dad bod in the making' with all his baking.

Casper ...hates him. And not just because he hits on Katya (though, that doesn't help). He's really just not a fan of loud and obnoxious party boys, no matter how smart they are, and will frequently tell him to shut the hell up. He probably sees Jesse more than he wants to because they're both prefects. Yaaay~ He actually likes Jesse's band better than Diego's (because it's a bit more rock) but will never admit it. Because of the aforementioned hate.

Cole is fine with him? But I doubt they really know each other at all unless you've got ideas?

Ty thinks Jesse is fuuuuun! I doubt that they're close at all, but Ty knows that Jesse is good for a party and can drink him under the table and can make him laugh his ass off, so that's enough for him. He may be aware that Rafael dislikes him, though, and if push comes to shove he'll always side with his buddy over Jesse. SORRY MAN.

Deep down, Jesse appreciates your fussing, Cecil. And he especially appreciates your baked treats :) That said, Jesse will constantly deflect any worry, because processing emotions is for girls >:(

Aw, CasperCole, but he definitely sees him as a cool guy.

Don't be sorry, Ty! Go ahead and side with Raf. There is not a truly antagonistic or competitive bone in Jesse's body. He'll be happy to enjoy Ty's fun loving personality, but will also probably be like, "Take the PEP down about ten notches. Relax."
