Jessebelle is a recurring character who spent time with James at a young age. According to Meowth, Jessebelle was James' bride-to-be.
Appearance
In her debut appearance and onwards, Jessebelle appears very similar to Jessie, who had long, red hair (as the former's hair changed to fuchsia pink in later series) and blue eyes as hers is tied in a style of large ringlets on each sides.
Her primary appearance is a dark pink, long gown with white long sleeves and a purple collar and a matching dark pink high heels.
When she tried to change James into a perfect gentleman, she was seen wearing a dark red, formal short jacket with a white, long-sleeve button shirt with an orange tie, white pants and matching dark red, thigh-high boots.
As a child, she was wearing a dark pink dress, white socks and red shoes.
Personality
Like James, she was also a calm and serious person with elegance, but is also a ruthless and very despicable woman, which is in contrast to Jessie's personality traits, which range from being prone to anger to being vain. Jessie also remarks to James that Jessebelle is truly despicable, as seen in Holy Matrinomy!.
She is also very controlling and obsessive when it comes to her upcoming fiancé, James, as she tries her best to change him into being a true gentleman but he never refines it. This also happened on their childhood after knowing of James engagement to her and wants to relinquish James' pet Growlie so that she can refine him in a manner of an etiquette which James angrily refuses.
She was also the main reason for why James chose to run away from the estate, mostly because of her upbringing and her behavior for being bossy and very aggressive. This is especially true when she senses James' presence when he goes to one of his family's summer estates after being called by Sebastian. Jessebelle shows her excitement and her aggressiveness in wanting to see James for one final time.
However, she has a few positive traits. In spite of being cruel towards James and Growlie, Jessebelle loves her Vileplume very much.
Biography

Though Jessebelle and James were to be wed, he was very much afraid of her, due to her bossy attitude and qualities. Additionally, Jessebelle has a very similar and accurate appearance to Jessie.
