Jessica Jane Pride (or simply Jessie or Sheriff Jessie) is one of the main characters of the Disney•Pixar Toy Story franchise, making her first appearance in Toy Story 2. She is a vintage pull-string cowgirl rag-doll of 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, but when the cowboy and his space toy friend, Buzz Lightyear, rescue her from the plane bound for Japan, she later 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 (mainly due to Lotso's previous dictatorial rule over that institution). Eventually, she and her friends would be donated to Bonnie Anderson after their escape, 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 sheriff's badge as a symbol of her leadership, while also honoring Woody's former position and memory.
