Name origin
Jessie's English name is taken from, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 , a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 , after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship, as her rival Cassidy's Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship.

She is based on a combination of Takeshi Shudō's old girlfriend from when he was in school, and, the female antagonist of the  anime series.
