Chessca Jones

Chessca Jones is one of the main characters in The Boy from the Bunker series and is portrayed by Sydney Park in the books. She is introduced in Season 4 and becomes one of the major characters in Season 6. Her bond with Sol Riverly is one of the most fundamental relationships in the series.

Chessca was raised by her unnamed, deceased father until he was killed. After he died, she lived with her younger half-brother Marley Jones and her younger half-sister Mackenzie Jones until they both passed away. She met her mother when she was 15 but she was also killed shortly after. When Sol wakes up in The City of Targo and is only able to remember Chessca from the few memories she has in-between The Alteration, she - as Commander - orders a protection over Chessca and saves her life. From here, Chessca and Sol formed an instant, unbreakable bond and became a part of each other's family, with Chessca describing them as "platonic soulmates". Soon after arriving at Basilisk following Sol's rescue from The City, Chessca becomes very close with Sol's sister, Atlantis Beckett, and the three of them share a sisterly- bond. She also becomes very close with Dreea Taven and begins dating her in Season 7 before moving into the second bunker with her for six months. In the epilogue of Season 10, Chessca and Dreea have a two-year-old son who they rescued after he was orphaned. After struggling to choose a name for him, Dreea (along with the help of Sol) come up with the perfect answer - inspired by the quality they love most about Chessca; they name him Courage

 Season 4 

In Season 4, Chessca is introduced as a hostage to The City of Targo. She was brought through the DeadLands by Rhea and Kane to perform a procedure known as The Alteration on The Heir to The City and has the responsibility of creating and protecting a medicine known as the serum which allows someone to survive the intense mind trials of The Alteration.

 Season 5 

As the hunt for Elara continues and Rhea and Kane try desperate attempts to capture their Heir, Chessca comes face to face with Sol Riverly - the enemy of The City of Targo - and has to make an impossible choice: risk her own life to help save that of a young girl's and give Sol the serum, or do what she can to protect the medicine in the hopes that Rhea and Kane will no longer decide to kill her after she is deemed expendable. To Sol's surprise, Chessa willingly hands over the serum and allows them to save Elara and keep her safe inside the perimetres of Basilisk with Wynn, Ares and Quill having to turn to their father for help. When The City of Targo ambush Basilisk in a staged capture, they are led to believe by Wynn that Elara was killed by her withdrawals from the serum. Falling for their decoy, Rhea announces to her people that they are set to massacre Basilisk before their departure back to The City of Targo as they have to return home without a Commander. When Kane finds out about this, he sends an SOS message to his surviving sons Wynn and Quill and warns Wynn to take his brother away from camp to avoid the massacre. Because of this, Wynn negotiates a plea deal with Rhea and Kane and allows them to take him to The City of Targo in his sister's place in exchange for their people not murdering all of Basilisk. When Wynn sneaks out of Basilisk and goes to the meeting place, he discovers that Sol had figured out his plans and has renegotiated the deal for Rhea and Kane to take her instead of Wynn. As Sol is taken on the half-bus with Chessca, Kane, Rhea and several other members of The City of Targo, Chessca searches through Sol's bag and manages to keep a few of her possessions safe for her (such as her radio) before Rhea can discard of them. Despite Sol being inconsolable during this time as she knows that she is never going to see any of her family again, Chessca sits with her for the entire five day trip through the DeadLands and keeps her as calm as she can manage.

 Season 6 

With Sol now the Commander of The City of Targo, she orders a protection over Chessca which states that no one can hurt her without betraying (Sol), and saves Chessca from Rhea and Kane's cruel treatment towards her.
