It's not the first time I've read something like that, and it's not accurate at all. Actually, I know several things about Jemma Simmons outside her relationship with Fitz. And all those things are canon.
• She had scoliosis as a kid. Every night, her father, to help to combat the boredom, would wheel her bed out and talk with her about the stars. Her dad actually inspired her love for science.
• At a very young age, she desired to be a biologist to study cuttlefishes.
• At her father's suggestion, she learned to keep all her bad feelings and troubles inside a music box. It's her way of having some control over her emotions.
• As a child, she used to travel with her parents to Perthshire.
• She considers her childhood bedroom a safe place. That's where she learned about the stars and memorized the chemistry tables.
• Was the first in her class at the Academy.
• Had one-night stands during her Academy days 😏
• She was a 17-year-old girl with two PhDs and a million questions when she joined S.H.I.E.L.D.
• A huge Peggy Carter fan
• Doctor Who is her favorite show. She made a reference to DW in 1x19, mentioning the Tardis.
• In 3x05 we saw her Tardis birthday cake
• She is extremely sweet and optimistic, even in the face of the most difficult and dangerous situations. And even after she completely lost hope in Maveth, she got her optimism back after being rescued from the planet, as she showed in later episodes.
• Although Jemma is a sweetie, she's also tough, she has learned to defend herself, to fight, to use a gun and her physical combat skills have greatly improved over the seasons.
• Very resilient; even though she was tortured, she remained irreducible, determined not to provide any classified information to Hydra.
• Afraid of birds 😶
• Jemma likes tea. A lot.
• She used to like wine. After Maveth... Not so much...
• Wakes up early in the morning to working out.
• She has an above-average fashion sense and her style perfectly matches her personality.
• She's so english.
• Jemma is multifunctional, a resourceful woman. She's strong, brave, willing to make sacrifices, model daughter, lovely mother and grandmother (!)
• She's a survivor.
I think I know a lot more about Jemma's life story outside of SHIELD than about Fitz... 🤷🏻‍♀️
