She is also very accepting and forgiving. Another one of her key traits is mercy Jemma can usually be found bickering with her best friend and partner, engineer Leo Fitz, and they are almost always found together. They are so close that Jemma and Fitz are often referred to as Fitz-Simmons, a gestalt entity. Despite Jemma's kind and calm nature, she cannot lie. When she tries to, she always ends up giving herself away, a bad habit. When pressured, she panics. She protested in the "Pilot" that she is "not Hermione", but, in "Seeds", Leo claims that she's so smart "because she loves homework more than life itself". Jemma loves her friends and always cares about their safety. Jemma is a Caucasian female with light brown hair. She has brown eyes which sometimes look hazel in different lighting. Her height is about 5'4". She dresses a lot like Fitz, wearing flannel shirts, a lot of different style sweaters, ties, overcoats, and jeans.

A bio-chem genius with two PhDs, Jemma Simmons attended the S.H.I.E.L.D. training academy with her best friend, engineering genius Leo Fitz. Among their instructors were Professor Vaughn[2] and Professor Hall, who taught chemical kinetics during their second year. Wanting to see more than the inside of a lab, and against the advice of Professor Vaughn, Jemma convinced Leo to seek out a field assignment. Jemma and Fitz were recruited by Agent Phil Coulson to be the science crew for a new team he was putting together, although it has since been claimed by May that she was, in fact, responsible for their inclusion. Stationed on the Bus, the pair have designed specialized equipment and compounds on the fly in various emergency situations.
After "starting over" their friendship in episode 11 of season three, Jemma and Leo, while trying to figure out how to cure Hive's parasite, kiss again in episode 17. At first, Fitz apologizes for moving too fast, bringing up Will and the fact that Jemma wished to start over. Jemma reassures him, saying that it's been 10 years and they can't waste any more time. They bring up Leo's comment that the cosmos are against them, and say that they won't let themselves be torn apart again. Leo states that he doesn't need space, as he has something magnificent right here. Simmons laughs and goes in to kiss him again, but he stops her to joke that he was talking about one of his most prized possessions, a poster of space. Laughing, Jemma interrupts him mid-sentence, kissing him once more. This implies that the best friends are now a couple.
