Jessica Bailey is the head of the DEM's Third Combat Unit, famous for her flaming red hair, blunt attitude, and very unique way of speaking because she struggles with Japanese. She sees herself as far superior to the local soldiers, treats others with open disrespect, and is fiercely loyal to Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, obeying his orders without a second thought—even if it means hurting innocent people. Her rivalry and jealousy toward Mana Takamiya shape much of her actions. In her final moments, she proves both dangerous and tragic, losing herself to jealousy, power, and brain modification.
