    "Jess Crichton - Jess is an eighteen-year-old girl with family problems. She does not have real friends. Jess is a person who pisses people off very quickly with her direct and rude character because she says everything that comes to her mind. Jess' father is a local politician and the family is completed by her mother. Her sister Jen, who is really important to her, left the family a few years ago and the whole family, especially the mother and Jess, are still very upset about this. Jess uses a very slangy language and uses the f-word quite often. She does not have a very close relationship to one of the other three characters because she does not respect their feelings and she talks to them in a very aggressive way all the time. She often argues with Martin because it bothers her that he is everything she dislikes: educated and rather arrogant. Features that obviously fit to her father, too. Her relationship to her parents is tense because her mother accuses her of having stolen a pair of earrings from her sister Jen which the mother had left in Jen's untouched room. She is the one who convinces the group not to jump immediately but, instead, to find her ex-boyfriend. Because of the problems with her family and the unhappy relationship to her ex-boyfriend she wants to end her life by jumping from a tower block."
