"I'm not going anywhere. Not till' we fix this mess."

- Jess

Jessica "Jess" Gorman is the daughter of Bob Gorman. Jess is Fontaine's best friend, and Ant has a crush on her.

Lonesome Jim
She and her father reveal that they only created Eve to trick the Nektons into sharing their secret hiding place where Jim was just so they could give the tortoise to Conger, who blackmailed them and said that if they didn't do this, then everything they had worked for would be gone. She later fixed her mistakes by apologizing to the Nektons and helping them rescue Jim.

Friends In Deep Places
She and Fontaine spend time "catching up" alone, much to the chagrin of Ant who wanted to spend time with her.

In Friends In Deep Places, her dive suit consists of a yellow dive mask, and a full-body dive suit that is black, with purple, and green edges with a line down the middle. She wears her hair tied back in a ponytail.

Personality
Jess is usually very happy. Whenever she does something wrong, she will try to make things right. Though she's not a fan of Ant's crush on her, she doesn't want to hurt his feelings, so she just goes with it.

Bob Gorman

Mother
It is unknown what kind of relationship she had or has with her mother.

Fontaine Nekton
Jess and Fontaine are best friends. Every time they see each other, they find a quiet place to chat on how everything's been going and try to shrug off Ant's annoying crush.

Ant Nekton
Jess' relationship with Ant is a strange one. Ant has a massive crush on her, however, Jess doesn't want to hurt Ant's feelings by saying that she doesn't like him back, so she just goes with it. It doesn't help that Jeffery doesn't like Jess and keeps spraying her with water in the face.
