Jess Ratroya

Jess Ratroya is a Valendran-human hybrid woman first introduced in Hunting Cari.

Jess is 5'6" tall, shorter than most other hybrid women because of the torture she suffered at the hands of the Relians while she was in captivity. Jess's gift is crafting. She can draw metals and gems from the Earth to create unique gifts for those in need. In Hunting Cari she makes anklets for Cari Lakatis that help Cari heal after she's beaten. In Finding Jess, she makes armor for Ivint Torenson that ends up saving his life after another Relian attack.

Jess has long blond hair that cascades down her back in heavy waves and a small pixie face with large blue eyes. She is believed to be about 24 or 25 years old at the time she is rescued from Relian captivity.
