Jessica Buchanan was born to Victoria and Clint Buchanan and kidnapped shortly after her birth. Deranged Allison Perkins
kept the baby for weeks before she was finally returned to her mother's arms. Growing up a privileged life at Llanfair, Viki
instilled fairness and kindness in her daughter and she grew into a strong, independent teenager.
When Viki and Clint
were having marital problems, and Viki began a relationship with Sloan Carpenter, an upset Jessica rebelled by smoking and
drinking. Eventually she was able to cope with her parents' divorce and resumed the life of a normal high schooler.
Jessica
met Cristian Vega, an artistic teen from Angel Square, a rough neighborhood. The two shared an instant attraction, but Clint
and Cristian's mother Carlotta disapproved of the relationship. The two were forced to see each other in secret until their
respective parents warmed to their relationship.
With their relationship going strong, Cristian wanted to have sex
with Jessica, who was uncomfortable at the thought. One night, things went particularly far and Jessica and Cristian got close
to having sex-only to have Clint walk in on them. Furious, he forbid Jessica from seeing Cristian. Their subsequent attempts
to see each other only ended up getting the two in more trouble.
Eventually Clint allowed Jessica to start seeing
Cristian again. Despite Cristian's desire, Jessica did not want to have sex. At the prom, Cristian gave into momentary temptation
and kissed another girl. Jessica saw and, hurt, broke off with Cristian. Eventually the two reunited, but Cristian entered
college and the young lovers' different worlds began to interfere with their relationship.

Tess Buchanan
is the split personality of Llanview's young heroine, Jessica Buchanan. She began to surface when Jessica began receiving
threatening notes from an apparent stalker. Jessica suspected Cristian Vega was the culprit, but when Cristian went to prison
for the murder of Tico Santi, the notes continued.
Soon after, it was revealed that Tess was the person leaving Jessica
threatening notes. Tess wanted a life of fun and freedom, and was determined to torment Jessica and break up her relationship
with Antonio Vega in order to achieve this. Unbeknownst to Jessica, Tess spent her nights moonlighting in bars and sleeping
with various men. It was during a bitter custody battle between RJ and Antonio that Jessica heard Tess's voice in her head,
and realized she was suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder, which had previously affected her mother. Tess was resolute
to hinder Antonio's chances at winning custody of his daughter Jamie, and even went as far as snooping in RJ's apartment for
information on Antonio. Tess inadvertently started a fire in the apartment, but luckily Jessica emerged and was able to save
Jamie. After discovering she had a split personality, Jessica decided it would be best to keep it secret from those she loved.
She felt the truth would ruin Antonio's future with his daughter, and hinder her mother's faltering health.
