Jessica Wakefield is one of the main characters in the Sweet Valley High book series. She was played by Brittany Daniel in the TV series of the same name. Her twin sister, Elizabeth was portrayed by Brittany's twin, Cynthia Daniel.

Outgoing, party loving Jessica is the wilder of the Wakefield twins. She is concerned with fashion and looks than twin-sister Elizabeth, and although cares deeply for her classmates and family, tends to be snobbish, often judging other people by their appearances. She is always doing whatever she can to get whatever she wants and not above sabotaging anyone (including her own identical twin sister) to do it.

Beautiful with sun-streaked blonde silky hair, blue-green eyes and a tiny dimple in the left cheek, she is easily one of the most beautiful and popular girls in the school. Jessica is also known to take advantage of her looks and popularity to get what she wants.

Jessica's interests change regularly. Her more regular hobbies include acting, shopping and dancing, while her true passion is cheerleading, even though she comes close to quitting or being kicked off the squad several times throughout the series. She is the captain of the cheerleading squad at "Sweet Valley High."

Jessica remains close to best friend Lila Fowler throughout the majority of the Sweet Valley series. She shows a great deal of animosity towards her sister's recurring boyfriend Todd Wilkins as he does her. Jessica finds Todd as "dull and goody-goody" as she does Elizabeth. Todd finds Jessica mean-tempered, vain, selfish, stupid, spoiled and boring. But we later see there's a lot more to it Jessica's not telling. Or Todd. Jessica's main reason for her anger towards Todd is based on the fact that he picked Elizabeth over her. Jessica has always found Todd attractive in his appearance and attitude, but she finds his interests and personality quite boring. In that respect, Jessica finds Elizabeth and Todd perfect for each other. Jessica once remarked that she thought Todd was really limiting who Elizabeth was as a person and what she could do. She thought he was making her boring, holding her back even. But after she spent some personal intimate time over one summer with him, she started to think it was the other way around.
