Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
Jessica is first subjected to the Ring of Volthoom, a weapon whose relationship with fear differs from a Green Lantern ring. She eventually breaks its control and earns membership in the Corps, without that meaning anxiety simply disappears. Green Lanterns makes her partnership with Simon a sustained starting point. Her 2021 Annual explores a later encounter with yellow power; that is a subsequent chapter, not her original status.
Reference scope: DC confirms the initial Green Lantern #20 appearance and later Corps origin. The full Justice League #31 introduction is retained as an issue-level reading pointer.
