PERSONALITY,
Jesse is driven dreamer, just like Rachel. He has always dreamed of being a star, ever since he was young. His dreams as the most important thing to him, because they keep him alive, they keep him hoping for a better tomorrow. In fact, during the rough divorce of his parents, his difficult childhood (full of not fitting in and being punished for it) and the rough move to Ohio with his uncle, his dreams are what have kept him stable. He has always lived with the idea that one day, he'll be famous and then everyone will be sorry.
He is very confident in who he is, willing to be the star of his glee club and not allowing anyone to make fun of him for it. So much so that no one but the football team will dare make fun of him. It is Jesse's drive, his willingness to do whatever it takes to get to the top that has rocketed him to mini-stardom. But, with driveness, comes letting some things go. Jesse has never regretted loosing any of those things...except for one.
Rachel. He let go of Rachel for the sake of his star spot in VA and for the sake of his reputation. And has regretted it ever since. He truly loved Rachel, but his love for showbiz and glitz just to happened to get in the way of that. And now, he is questioning his choice. After all, the top of the mountain of fame is very lonely.
Jesse is a very strong kid and willing to stand alone in things. He is willing to be lonely. But, after all the bullying throughout his school years, and even still some today, he is beginning to wonder if the only true friends he ever had were at New Directions- at least there he was accepted. In Vocal Adrenaline, he feels always pushed to be more than he is, instead of loved and accepted.
HISTORY,
Jesse is the boy who grew up watching Madonna and Brittany. He was a big dreamer, though very misunderstood. His parents, Mark and Gwen, were very split when it came to Jesse's future. Gwen was supportive to no end, while Mark was concerned that his boy would be shoved around and made fun of, so it would be safer for him to perhaps go for a dream less flashy and stereotyped. It was this fight that began the slow plummet of their marriage.
As his father predicted, Jesse was misunderstood and bullied constantly. He would come home crying most days. Though, the next day he would come back to school with his head held high, stubborn and unchangeable- though not for lack of Mark, and the football team's, trying.
Jesse stayed confident throughout middle school and proved his talent in theatre. He received most of the leads in school plays and the teachers were wildly encouraging. Though none knew that Jesse was using showbiz to get out of the house and away from his parent's declining marriage. It kept him driven and focused.
He moved to Ohio, freshman year because of his parents divorce becoming official. Entering high school, he continued his consistent run in winning lead roles- even beating out some of the seniors. Meanwhile, he joined the ever-popular Vocal Adrenaline. Thus began his slow ascension into school fame. His reputation and popularity grew, frightening away most of those who would try and bully him.
Joining New Directions during junior year was one of the best decisions he ever made. It all felt so right, even if their Glee club was a bit less toned and insanely focused as his old one. But they had wild potential, and, of course, the girl he loved.
He left before summer, being forced by his peers from his old glee club to leave everything behind. Still, his feelings linger. He returned to Akron, being held back by Ms Coccran to secure VA a win. And, as his loneliness grows deeper and his own fame doesn't seem enough, will he make the decision his heart wants to or will he listen to his head and continue to drive forward undeterred?
