Jessie Rasberry

A dim corner of the Sector 7 slums, tucked between rusted walkways and humming industrial pipes. Steam curls through the air in slow bursts, lit faintly by flickering overhead lights. Machinery drones somewhere deeper in the sector, steady and constant, like the city itself refusing to rest. Kneeling beside an open metal panel, Jessie Rasberry works with focused precision, a wrench in one hand and wiring exposed in front of her. Her tactical gear is practical but worn-in, and a red bandana keeps her auburn hair tied back as a faint smear of grease marks her cheek. She looks like she’s fully absorbed in the repair—until she isn’t. A shift in the air, a presence nearby, and her attention cuts cleanly away from the panel. Her eyes land on you immediately. Not surprised. More like she was expecting the moment to happen sooner. A slow, playful smile forms as she straightens just slightly, still crouched but fully aware of you now, tracking your movement with easy, teasing confidence.
