Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl is the tritagonist of the Disney•Pixar Toy Story franchise, first appearing in Toy Story 2. She is a vintage pull string cowgirl toy from the 1950s, the best buddy of Bullseye, and a former member of Woody's Roundup Gang who originally belonged to Emily. At first, Jessie only intends to be a collectible and dislikes the fact that Woody has an owner, Andy, and a space toy friend, Buzz, but when the cowboy and space ranger rescue Jessie from the plane bound for Japan, she accepts her true purpose: to be played with. Over the years, Jessie continues to recognize her true purpose, but when she comes to the realization that Andy has grown up, Jessie assumes that she might be abandoned once again and doesn’t hesitate to convince the others to donate themselves to Sunnyside Daycare, which she later regrets. Eventually, she and her friends would be donated to Bonnie Anderson, and would become her new favorite toy. When Woody reunites and departs with Bo Peep, Jessie becomes one of the two leaders of Bonnie's toys (the other being Dolly) and is given his sheriffs badge as a symbol of her leadership, while also honoring Woody's former position and memory.
