Jessie Hayashibara

Musashi Jessie Hayashibara is from Lavender Town in the Kanto region. She's a former member of Team Rocket and is now a member of the Tekiyoku, mainly associated with James and Meowth. She's a Flying Manipulator.

Background
Jessie, James, and Meowth were a part of Team Rocket in the past. They know Ash from his early days in Kanto. They usually followed him on his journey, plotting to try to steal his Pikachu and other Pokémon he encountered.
 * Some of the information in this article comes from Jessie's actual information in the Pokémon anime. Other information was made up and changed for this series.

Present
Jessie first appeared with James and Meowth in Episode 6 when Alain, Ash, and Dawn were in Lumiose City to get Shizuku. Ash recognized the three from Kanto, while the three did not know he was traveling with Alain.

A fight ensued for the Water Plate. It was largely an easy win for Alain and Ash, partly from Meowth goofing around with a ball of yarn he found during the fight.

After the fight, the Team Rocket trio left the area. Meowth forgot his ball of yarn and went back to get it. When he was there, he found the Water Plate just lying on the ground. Surprised, he picked it up and brought it back to Jessie and James, who were ecstatic. They're not sure why it was left, but the Tekiyoku was now in possession of the Water Plate.

Personality
Out of the three, Jessie has the shortest fuse. She may have a quick temper when she doesn't get her way. This may affect her fighting, as she may attack without planning it out, making her lose. She takes on a role as leader of the three, though, and usually gets her way when it comes to them. Her tendency to rebel against others when she doesn't get her way and want freedom to make her own decisions is likely what makes her a good fit to be a Flying Manipulator.

As a whole, the three are more serious now than they were back in Kanto. Regardless, they are regarded as some of the "worst fighters in the Tekiyoku".

Naming

 * Her first name, Musashi, is her Japanese name in the Pokémon anime.
 * It comes from Miyamoto Musashi, a famed Japanese swordsman, who is mainly known from a duel where he killed Sasaki Kojirō. Also from this, "Kojirō" is the Japanese name for James to add to this naming scheme.
 * Continuing from the theme of that swordsman, Miyamoto is the name of Jessie's mother, who hasn't been seen nor mentioned in Tears of the Fallen yet.
 * Additionally, this name comes from Musashi, a Japanese battleship. This is significant because the Japanese name for Cassidy (another former Team Rocket member who rivaled Jessie) is "Yamato", coming from Yamato, which is the sister Japanese battleship of Musashi.
 * Her middle name, Jessie, is her name in the English dub of the anime. It comes from Jesse James, a famed American outlaw. That is also where the English name for James came from as well.
 * Her last name, Hayashibara, is the surname of her primary Japanese voice actress, Megumi Hayashibara. For a few episodes in the Advanced Generation series, Hayashibara had to go on maternity leave, and another voice actress voiced Jessie during this time.

General

 * Her birthday, March 30th, is another reference to her Japanese voice actress, Megumi Hayashibara, as this is her birthdate.
