Trish Walker

"No one touches me anymore unless I want them to."

- Trish Walker

Patricia "Trish" Walker is a former model and child TV star, turned radio talk show host, and the adoptive sister/best friend of Jessica Jones.

Before Fame
Dorothy and Trish Walker lived in a one bedroom apartment before Trish became a star.

Child Star
"Highest paid child star in television history? That's a pretty charmed life."

- Will Simpson

As a child, Walker was an actress who played a red-headed character named "Patsy" on a television show called It's Patsy. Though she had fans that practically worshiped her with gifts, was the highest paid child star in television history, and even had a popular toy line and [[Patsy Walker Comic Book|comic book, Walker hated that time of her life, wishing even into adulthood that she could be a superhero.

Making a Hero


Walker knew that Jessica Jones had enhanced powers and encouraged her to be a hero. Walker had a suit and mask created and suggested to Jones that she use the moniker "Jewel"; looking at the tight-fitting outfit, Jones scoffed at the idea, saying her name would be "camel-toe" if she wore that. Walker told Jones that though she was rich and had a talk show, she envied Jones and wished she had powers.

Absence
For six months after the supposed death of Kilgrave, Walker had not heard a word from Jones, making her feel shut out. To make sure Jones had not died, Walker kept tabs on her. This way she found out that Jessica Jones had become a private investigator.

Return of an Old Friend
One evening while she was coordinating with her talk show's producers about future interviewees, Walker saw Jessica Jones on her balcony. After asking her guests to leave her apartment, Walker opened the balcony door to see what her long absent friend wanted; Jones told her that Kilgrave was back in action and that she wanted enough money to avoid him. Walker dismissed Jones' request, citing that it could be a symptom of the that she suffered from.

Ultimately, Walker gave Jones an envelope of cash.

For Your Protection
"I'm life-threatening, Trish. Steer clear of me." "I don't do that."

- Jessica Jones and Trish Walker

The next day, Walker had a driver take her to Jessica Jones' Apartment Building where she saw Jessica Jones walking toward the building; Walker approached Jones, but Jones continued as if she had not seen her. Walker asked if she deserved to be ignored, especially after she gave so much money the night earlier. Jones acquiesced.

Entering the Alias Investigations Office for the first time, Walker spoke hesitantly, deciding to say that the place looked nice, despite seeing a broken window covered with cardboard and a door without a lock falling off its hinges. Jones was not fooled, telling Walker that she knew her true opinion by the tone of voice. Jones handed Walker her money and asked her to forget about her because she did not want her hurt by Kilgrave. Walker suggested that Jones move to her place since it would be safer than there; Jones scoffed at the idea that any place was safe from Kilgrave. Hearing that, Walker asked Jones what she would do should she and Kilgrave meet again; she did not get a response.

Walker called a repairman to fix Jones' door and had a glass company make another office window for Alias Investigations. However, she failed to inform Jones and, while in a meeting with Zack at WNEX Station, Walker received a phone call telling her that Jones broke the repairman's leg. She told Jones that she would pay for the medical expenses. Executives entered the office and Zack told Walker to cover her bruised arms, which she quickly did with a suit jacket.

Later, Walker was with her personal trainer, learning how to avoid being shot in a brawl, when she decided to take a break and get a glass of water. The phone rang; Jones said hello. Jones said that the office logo on the new window was different from the original; Walker quipped that her new design was better, even though she never saw the old. Jones teased her about how she resembled her mother; Walker took offense. She then cut the conversation short when Jones agreed for them to do lunch as blood dripped from her nose into her glass of water. Walker returned to her personal trainer and demanded more sessions and an increased regimen.

Outside Her Door
Walker awakened to a noise outside her door; Will Simpson returned with another officer and Simpson was attempting to knock down the door of her apartment. Walker, scared, called Jessica Jones and relayed to her the situation. Jones told Walker to hide in the safe room and await her arrival.

Upon Jones' arrival, they watched as Simpson rammed the door, hoping to get to the body of Walker; Jones then realized that Simpson was still under the impression that he killed Walker. The two revealed to Simpson that Walker survived Simpson's attack, but, after seeing Walker's scars, he began to feel ashamed. When Jones called Walker "dramatic", Walker became offended. Jones had Walker leave the apartment and go to the WNEX Station and have a show; on "Trish Talk", Walker publicly apologized to Kilgrave for her insults during the Hope Shlottman interview; Jones knew that Kilgrave would be listening and hoped that this display would stop him from having Walker attacked. Walker hated doing it and told Jones such, after she did it. Suddenly Jones ran toward a man taking photographs, but stopped when she saw she was not the intended picture. Walker had her best friend reveal that Kilgrave had someone following her.

Later, Simpson, with a box, returned to Walker's apartment and asked for entry; he was adamantly denied. Walker listened as Simpson told her that he had something personal that he wanted to present to her. She told him to place it by her door but for him to distance himself as she opened the door to retrieve it. She discovered that Simpson has given her an illegal gun for her protection. She aimed it at her intercom system as he talks.

Eventually, the two talked about their past with the locked door between them. Walker, feeling comfortable somewhat, allowed Simpson to enter, but she held her gun at the ready.

Walker and Simpson spent the night together.

Putting on Her Cape
The next morning, Walker was awakened by the cunnilingus of Will Simpson. Suddenly, Jessica Jones pounded on the door since Walker refused to answer her phone. When Jones entered Trish Walker's Apartment, she told Walker how she had been following Malcolm Ducasse and that Kilgrave would be hard to tranquilize. Walker frowned when Simpson appeared in his underwear and joined the conversation.

Security Detail
Walker refused to answer Jessica Jones' phone calls, wanting to have information on Kilgrave when they talked and not wanting to hear Jones say that the botched kidnapping was her fault. To that end, Walker went to a top-notch security agency and asked for a detail, pretending that an ex-lover was stalking her.

Do not Scream
Malcolm Ducasse called WNEX Station constantly asking to speak to Walker, to the point that he was thought to be a stalker; Walker went to Jessica Jones' Apartment Building to see what he wanted. She found Ducasse in the Alias Investigations Office without Jessica Jones. He said that Jones was out and was soon to make a life-changing mistake and he called her to help prevent it. Walker became impatient as Ducasse kept hinting, but not saying what was occurring.

Walker and Ducasse walked towards Jones' bedroom door which was ajar. Ducasse warned her not to scream upon entry; Walker rolled her eyes and told him she would not. Ducasse revealed to her the bloody body of Ruben, who was forced to commit suicide by Kilgrave; Walker screamed in fright.

Walker then reached into her purse, pulled out her gun, and aimed it at Ducasse, asking him what he had done. Ducasse explained that situation.

Walker then cleaned the bedroom of blood and had Ducasse dispose of the corpse.

Sit-Down Conversation
Walker had just finished cleaning the blood of Ruben when Jessica Jones entered the Alias Investigations Office; she told Walker that she had been trying to contact her and was surprised that she was there.
