Personality

J.W. Prescott is Jessie's father. He is part of the military. Jessie mentions him often. He taught Jessie a lot of things. He taught her how to survive in the desert with nothing but a toothpick and a bobby pin. He also taught her how to fly a helicopter and use an AK47. He also stuck up for her in high school, scaring the cheerleaders to death by throwing an avocado at them and yelling "fire in the hole!" (causing them to think it was a grenade).

In Take the A-Train... I Think?, he is described as having a crew cut and a strange desire to have people punch him in the stomach. He's also implied to be highly critical.

In Creepy Connie's Curtain Call, it's revealed that he keeps a military flamethrower, because he's too cheap to buy a barbecue.

He is revealed in "GI Jessie" to have a falling out with Jessie over the fact that she left for New York, rather than joining the military, but by the end of the story the two managed to patch up their relationship. He proves to be much like Jessie. For instance, he's strict, tough and militaristic, able to play a capable military officer. As well as being highly dedicated to his career. Nevertheless, he also showed a more laid back side on occasion, as well as a few of Jessie's traits, such as telling stories about his relationships and being slightly dizzy on occasion.
