Name | Jessica Wethole |
Species | Tree Wench |
Occupation | Tree Wench, Tree Ghost |
Jessica is a tree wench, a woman who has grown out of (or by appearance into) a tree. During the episode she adopts the name Jessica Wethole. As Jessica explains, because she will live forever as long as her tree stands, she, like most tree wenches, passes the time by observing others and making somewhat cutting barbs, while also relating those barbs back to her own sexuality, which falls into a Madonna/Whore complex. She can perceive time streaming by and through that method has heard some of Arnie's podcast.
Like all tree wenches she can produce a healing poultice.
Her most common activity is seducing individuals who pass through the woods, which always results in their deaths. She decides to change her ways after meeting Arnie, Chunt, & Usidore, but her first attempt to enjoy her own sexuality for non-homicidal purposes backfires, resulting in her own death. Her spirit still haunts her grove.
Jessica is played by Rachel Bloom.
