| ~ Jessica during her transformation into Eagle. |
Jessica Keynes is one of the tritagonists of Miraculous World: New York – United HeroeZ. She receives the Eagle Miraculous, when inhabited by the kwami Liiri, can transform her into Eagle, an eagle-themed superhero.
As Jessica, she is voiced by Céline Melloul in French and Jaimi Gray in English. As Sparrow, she is voiced by Alan Aubert-Carlin in French and Scott Whyte in English.
Appearance[]
Jess is a girl of medium height with black hair and grey eyes. She is of Native American ethnicity and wears her hair in traditional leather-bound side braids.
Personality[]
Sparrow is witty and supportive. Some instances make her exasperated when others are confused, but she supplies any information they need.
In the New York special, Jessica has a strong desire to prove herself as a hero sometimes leading her to being disobedient towards her superiors. She also enjoys helping others just as helping Adrien and Marinette admit their feelings. Like her mother she can be a bit judgmental as she overestimated Ladybug and Cat Noir. Jessica is also quite reasonable and acceptable when needing help from others. Likewise, Jessica laments that she and Aeon have been relegated to "babysitting" the French students to make sure they stay safe, and she wants to prove to the other heroes that she and Uncanny are just as capable as the adults. Sure enough, she gets her wish when she and Uncanny are the only ones who can help Ladybug and Chat Noir in the special's climax and she becomes the holder of the Eagle Miraculous.
As Eagle, most of her personality remains the same and Jessica was able to adapt quickly to her new powers.
Powers and abilities[]
As a civilian[]
Jess is as skilled as Luka Couffaine when playing the guitar. She is also skilled at skateboarding.
As Sparrow[]
Sparrow is physically fit, having enough stamina and skill to keep up with Ladybug and Cat Noir while they're running and to jump from edge to edge down a huge crack in the ground.
As Eagle[]
When transformed into Eagle, Jess possesses enhanced strength, speed and agility. She is also given the power by Liiri to use Liberation which allows her to either free a person from their self-imposed limitations (being them mental or emotional) or to remind them of the boundaries and responsibilities that come with freedom, nullifying its effect. Her weapon appears to be a bullroarer.
Biography[]
Jessica is a student in Professor Gate's class at Armstrong High School. She is also a superhero in the United States of America and Knightowl's partner and daughter.
Miraculous World New York: United Heroez[]
She was initially known as Sparrow, being the latest in a line of teacher and student who have worn the masks of the legendary hero duo, Knightowl and Sparrow. Working with Knightowl alongside the mother-daughter duo of Majestia and Uncanny Valley, Sparrow protects the aircraft carrying a class from College Francois Dupont in Paris from the American super-villain Techno-Pirate, helping to subdue him and take him into custody.
Later, Jessica is assigned with Aeon to watch over the French class during their stay in New York at the hotel they were checked into. To further help the French students mingle with the American students from Armstrong High in Queens, Aeon and Jessica get some help from Hot Dog Dan to make that happen, even starting to take special interest in Marinette and Adrien and trying to bolster their relationship into a legit boyfriend-girlfriend couple. However, when Techno-Pirate is spotted infiltrating a nearby museum, Jessica and Aeon disobey orders with calling for backup from Majestia and Knightowl and go to confront him alone, soon joined by the French Miraculous Duo in Ladybug and Cat Noir, as they realized that Techno-Pirate had been Akumatized by their arch-enemy, Hawk Moth, into Techlonizer. Unfortunately, before Ladybug and Cat Noir joined them, Uncanny was stripped of her third eye and most of her weapons by Techlonizer, leaving only her rockets and physical strength to fight him with, putting Uncanny and Sparrow at a disadvantage. Techlonizer then escapes outside, forcing Uncanny, Sparrow, Ladybug, and Cat Noir to pursue him until confronting him on a rooftop. During their confrontation on the roof, Cat Noir lowers his guard when Ladybug chews him out over breaking her trust by coming to NYC to help her after she told him to stay in Paris and alert her of any trouble there from Hawk Moth or Mayura, and Techlonizer takes advantage to hurl him towards Ladybug, threatening to kill her with his still-active Cataclysm. Uncanny takes the hit herself, mortally wounding her. Sensing it, Majestia and Knightowl immediately rush to the scene, and Techlonizer ends up being punched through several buildings by a grief-stricken Majestia as she doesn't hold back punishing him for harming her surrogate daughter. Knightowl recovers Marquis de Lafayette's saber that Techlonizer had stolen from the museum, and Hawk Moth uses the opportunity to have Techno-Pirate escape with him, while also having secured his target in the Miraculous of the Eagle. Though Ladybug is able to restore Uncanny using her Miraculous Ladybug, Knightowl is furious with Sparrow for disobeying her orders, and grounds her from further action, while demanding that Ladybug and Cat Noir hand over their Miraculous for interfering in United Heroez business and won't get them back until they leave New York. Refusing, Ladybug and Cat Noir flee, to Knightowl's chagrin and fury, and she attempts to pursue them, but they escape into the sewers before Knightowl finds them and revert back to Marinette and Adrien to throw her off their trail.
Later, Jessica and Aeon ask Olympia and Barbara for another chance to go after Techno-Pirate, but Barbara sternly refuses, and Olympia has to agree with her. Jessica calls her mom out for her stubbornness and being adamant that Jessica and Aeon are not ready to be on their own, separate from the adult United Heroez yet, but Barbara refuses to change her mind because of the earlier incident, and considers the matter closed as she and Olympia head off to attend the press conference with President Hombee to announce that the Franco-American Friendship Festival is postponed until Techno-Pirate is brought to justice. Despite Jessica's frustration with their mothers, Aeon agrees that they can still try to help. They just have to bend the rules a little bit.
However, when Techno-Pirate, Akumatized again as Techlonizer, and then given the Eagle Miraculous to become Miraclonizer, uses the Miraculous' power of Liberation to send the adult United Heroez on a rampage with them free of their moral and ethnical restraints, Jessica is forced to disobey orders again as, joined by Ladybug, she tries to manage damage control in NYC, despite having another encounter with Knightowl, who again loses her temper at Sparrow disobeying her. Joined by Uncanny, who managed to get Cat Noir to help them again, they trick Doorman to provide a way for them into the Statue of Liberty, where Miraclonizer was preparing to launch a nuclear missile he commandeered from Victory under Hawk Moth's orders if Ladybug and Cat Noir refused to surrender their Miraculous to him. Working together, Sparrow, Uncanny, Ladybug, and Cat Noir manage to outsmart Miraclonizer and take back the Eagle Miraculous, turning him back into Techlonizer. Upon being given the Eagle Miraculous herself, and encouraged by the Eagle Miraculous' Kwami Liiri, Jessica sheds her Sparrow costume as she activates the Eagle Miraculous and becomes the Miraculous superheroine Eagle. She then reverses the effects of Liberation on the adult United Heroez, returning them to normal just in time. The nuke launches, as Cat Noir and Ladybug look on in horror as Hawk Moth makes good on his ultimatum, but Majestia is able to intercept it and hurl it into the Sun, preventing a potential nuclear war.
After that, Knightowl, Eagle, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Uncanny, manage to defeat and de-Akumatize Techno-Pirate, leaving him to be arrested and taken to prison as he's handed over to the NYPD Emergency Service Unit SWAT team to be hauled off to Riker's Island Penitentiary. When Eagle fears Knightowl will be furious with her again for disobeying her, Knightowl realizes her folly in being too strict with Sparrow, and agrees to allow her to have some more freedom, and voices how proud she is of her and her efforts with becoming a Miraculous user, also deciding to shed her Knightowl costume and its voice changer to take a different stance on her role. Both Knightowl and Majestia also thank Ladybug and Cat Noir for inspiring Eagle and Uncanny, and apologize for their earlier prejudice against them due to their overprotectiveness of their daughters, leading to Ladybug and Cat Noir having Uncanny and Eagle join them in their trademark "Pound It!" fist-bump after a victory.
Miraculous Ladybug[]
Season 5[]
In "Re-creation (The Final Day - Part 2)", she, along with the rest of the United Heroez, fought against the Miraculized, first in New York, rescuing as many of the American citizens that they can, with Eagle using her power of Liberation to free them from Nightormentor's nightmares that turned them into Miraculized in the first place, then in Paris when Uncanny realizes that Ladybug and Cat Noir may be in trouble, joining the Guardians, Resistance, and Ladydragon in trying to fight off the Miraculized with those citizens free of being Miraculized trying to help, but they were still outnumbered vastly, and when Majestia somberly reports she was unable to find Ladybug or Cat Noir after Uncanny sent her out earlier to look for them, it looks like things are extremely grim for Eagle and the other allies of Ladybug and Cat Noir as the Miraculized keep coming and vastly outnumber all of the good guys and civilians helping them.
However, as shown in "Miraculous World London", after Gabriel makes his wish, and Ladybug fixes everything with Miraculous Ladybug, Eagle and the rest of the United Heroez are saved as the Miraculized are reverted to normal with no memory of what happened. Afterwards, the United Heroez returned to the USA, and later learned via the news from Ladybug of Gabriel's sacrifice to end Monarch's threat once and for all. Unknown to them, Ladybug had lied to them, as Gabriel was Monarch, but Ladybug had upheld Gabriel's last request to her that no one, not even Adrien, ever found out or knew of his evil actions.
Eagle makes a cameo appearance at the end of Miraculous World Tokyo as she, Knightowl, Majestia, Uncanny, and Cat Noir are dealing with their own threat of some giant monster emerging over New York from a portal, the first thing being its six-fingered hand reaching out towards them as they tense for battle.

Trivia[]
- As revealed in "Miraculous New York", the current Knightowl and Sparrow are legacy superheroes, as the original versions of them (a father and son team) were long gone before the events of the series and many generations had passed since then.
- Just as Knightowl was based off of Batman, Jessica's alterego Sparrow shares some similarities with The Dark Knight's partner Robin (Dick Grayson).
- Both were partners of the main heroes.
- They both started out as a sidekick/partner before changing into their independent heroes, Robin to Nightwing, Sparrow to Eagle.
