Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of five, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of food.  

Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a TV station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie participated in the [[Princess Festival]]. She caught a {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} beforehand when it was caught stealing stuff from {{TRT}} with its tongue, claiming to deal with it later. Jessie competed in the contest of the Princess Festival but was eliminated by Misty despite her Lickitung nearly defeating Misty's whole team that she used.

In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', she fought the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]] with her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and singlehandedly defeated them. When she, James, and Meowth were leaving the [[Wobbuffet Festival|festival]], they were caught with stolen food from the festival. Ash and his friends easily defeated them and got the food back.

During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as '''Jessadia''' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like Jessadia's style, but recognized her talent.  

After rescuing [[Ash's Aipom]] from falling off a cliff in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]'', Jessie managed to persuade {{Ash}} to let her borrow Aipom for an informal Pokémon Contest that would be held in a small village as part of a festival. Jessie then decided to practice for the competition, asking Aipom to show off all of her moves. Jessie's {{pkmn|training}} session paid off as she easily advanced to the second round of the Contest, where she faced {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. During their battle, Jessie used a [[Contest combination]] to drop Dawn's points before commanding Aipom to attack Pachirisu with {{m|Focus Punch}}, which caused the {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to [[fainting|faint]], thereby eliminating Dawn from the Contest and giving Jessie her first Contest victory.

When Jessie entered the Wallace Cup in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', she was counting on James and {{MTR}} to make sure she would be the one taking the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} home, as she believed they had plotted a scheme for her to win the Solaceon Town Pokémon Contest. However, they admitted to her that they did not use any cheats back then and told her that she won the Solaceon Ribbon all by herself thanks to her skills as a Pokémon Coordinator. Later, Jessie used {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} in the first round of the Wallace Cup. She started the performance by running towards Wobbuffet while he ran at her using {{m|Counter}}. When the two collided in the middle of the stage, Jessie was sent flying in the air. She then finished it off by landing on top of Wobbuffet's head, failing to impress the panel of judges. For this reason, Jessie didn't make it past the Performance Stage.

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket.  

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]'', ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'', and ''[[XY065|Good Friends, Great Training!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''), this is a trait she shares with James, who hates being referred to as an old man. She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. At times, her anger is also shown to scare James and Meowth, usually when they are expecting it or if she really loses her temper. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense and less frequent over the next story arcs.

As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, but as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.  

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s or {{pkmn|Showcase}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.
