Jessica Magnus was born in Okinawa in 1983. (That's the one in Japan, just in case there was any confusion as to which Okinawa we're refering to.)
From what can be recalled from childhood, Magnus moved a lot, drew a great deal of silly pictures, kept company with an number of odd pets and many, many books.
The path to world domination took a few more turns, until she finally figured out how to stop fighting it, and gave in to her artistic side.
"I still carry a sketchbook everywhere. It's like a security blanket you can draw on."
And the rest, as they say, is history. She continues on the artistic path, which is fueled, as is so many other bad habbits, by the internet and expects to be a world overlord any day now.
