consider myself a Southern girl, but I have very liberal ways. I have a
different perspective. I'm a smart girl. I've worked in D.C. for a
lobbyist, but I'm also a party girl. I'm focused during the day and
wild at night. (Clarion-L)

"As vocal supporter of gay marriage and legalization of marijuana,
Jemmye doesn't necessarily come off as someone from a conservative
Mississippi hometown. She enjoys casual sex with no commitment, and she
has a preference for black men (until she meets fellow roommate,
Knight), which is about as scandalous as it gets in her heavily
Southern Baptist community. Jemmye is recently free of an abusive
relationship. Her mother Alice is her best friend and they have no
secrets from one another, to the point where Jemmye frequently
discusses the intimate details of her sex life with her mom. But one
secret she hasn't told her mom is about a past relationship that haunts
her to this day. For most people, Mardi Gras is a one day affair, but
something tells us Jemmye will be collecting beads all season." via
