Everyone who's seen "New Girl" knows that Jessica Day is quite the character. She's cute but quirky. Smart, but strange. Caring, but often overbearing, and she seems to have no concept of personal space. In the end, however, her outlook on life as well as her kind, positive, and caring personality is loved by all those around her.
