"If the Goddess spoke, it must be so."
Jezza[1]

Jezza is a minor recurring character in Horizon Zero Dawn.

History

Background

A member of the Nora tribe, Jezza was a great-grandmother by the time of the Proving that Aloy would attend, making her a High Matriarch by tribal law,[2] often getting caught in the middle of her fellow High Matriarchs' disagreements.[3][1][4]

Jezza, alongside Teersa and Lansra, oversaw the Blessing of the Proving the year that Aloy attended, quietly trying to stop Teersa and Lansra's bickering.[3]

When Aloy was found unconscious after surviving the Proving, Jezza agreed with Teersa that Aloy should be taken near her mother inside All-Mother Mountain, overruling Lansra's objections.[5]

Once Aloy woke up and Teersa told her fellow High Matriarchs that All-Mother spoke to Aloy and that she had to be anointed a Seeker, Jezza sided with Teersa again, telling Aloy that their hopes rode with her.[1]

After the invasion by the Eclipse was repelled with the help of Aloy, Jezza was amazed and questioned her about it. As Aloy entered the door to All-Mother and returned, Jezza was among those cheering for Aloy as the Anointed of the Nora, which Aloy angrily resisted.[4]

Personality

Jezza appears to be more level-headed and tolerant than Lansra, able to side with Teersa in showing some compassion to Aloy, allowing her into All-Mother Mountain as dying near one's mother is considered sacred.[1]

Jezza is devoted to Nora religion. When faced with evidence that she interprets as the Goddess' words, she immediately follows them without question.[1]
