; All About JoEdit
The first thing to consider about Jo is that she's stubborn. She's the type of girl who'd rather shove you out of the way to do something, since she clearly knows how to do it better and faster. That stubborn streak is something that raises its head almost constantly. It’s in her confidence, in her sense of humor, it’s in her ability to fall for someone and in her tendency to let them go. That one trait is laced around her so tight, that there’s hardly a single thing she can do that doesn’t get tainted by that put-her-foot-down attitude.
Still, even with that stubborn streak threatening to get her into trouble all the time, she’s got a lot more to offer. For starters she’s loyal to the nth degree. She’ll stick by your side if she thinks you’re right -- or if she believes that you think you’re right. Of course, she’s also quick to tell you that you’re an idiot when she knows your wrong. She can be a brat that wants to get her way and doesn’t see things your way -- no matter how right you might be. She’ll call you on your bullshit and smile while she does it.
She’ll see something through to the end, no matter the cost or risk because she doesn’t like to leave things unfinished. Jo is selfless in that she’ll put the needs and safety of others before her own. In her own right though, she can be selfish too. Most of her selfish tendencies come from personal relationships though, not really material things. She’d rather have the time spent and the memories earned, than the trinket from the vacation.
She’s organized and good at keeping things put together. She’s quick on her feet and easily adapts to her environment. She’s the type of girl that’ll fit into any bar across the USA quite easily and no one’ll doubt that she doesn’t belong in there.
She was raised by her mother, so she has a great deal of respect for family and for strong women. However, there was a time when Jo wasn’t exactly keen on sticking with her family. She’s well aware of how secrets can poison a relationship, which is why for the most part she tries to be open and honest. Her relationship with her mother was strained because of that lack of trust and once they regained that level of a connection, Jo made sure to maintain it.
She’s an optimist, even against horrible odds and in the midst of an apocalypse. She’d rather believe that there’s a tomorrow to wake up to, over the thought being in the middle of a night that’ll be her last.
Her flirtatious side comes almost too naturally, having worked in bars for almost all of her life and having to put up with various ‘sorts’ of men. She won’t lead any of them on, but she has no problem with giving them a smile and a conversation worth those extra few bills on the table when they leave.
Jo is a good listener. She’ll listen to any story, even if she’s heard it a dozen times and often times she’ll do this just to make sure she’s retained the details from the last time. It’s another small part of her organizational skills and her ability to put together a case on her own.
She’s strongly independent and believes that she’s pretty sure she knows what’s best for herself. Making choices that impact herself, no matter how serious, aren’t things she’ll ask for help on. There aren’t any panicked phone calls from daughter to mother asking if she’s doing the right thing. Jo’s headstrong and she’ll go through with it and ask for forgiveness (if needed) later.
In a way, she’s just like her mother and there was a time when she might’ve been upset by the comparison, but growing up has given her the perspective on her mother’s life that she’s more than just okay with people thinking that she’s just like her mom.
; LossesEdit
Permanent: Ability to Hustle a Hunter
- Jo often made a majority of her money running a good hustle with the hunters that would come into the Roadhouse. From claiming the high score on the hunting video game, to cards and pool. She's a good liar and often was able to create a believable cover in a relatively short amount of time.
- Now that she's in the castle, Jo is unable to do this among her fellow hunters. The castle counteracts her natural skill to even the odds or slant them toward whoever she is trying to hustle. If she's trying to pretend she is horrible at something, in order to win a bet, her loss will make her either as good as she normally is - or better. If she's trying to prove she's good at something, in order to win a bet, her loss will make her horrible at it.
- If Jo tries to lie to another hunter, or cover up something that she's done in order to keep herself protected, she'll smile, laugh, be unable to lie at all, or just ramble it all out there at once.
- This will also alter how she tolerates her alcohol, since she uses her tolerance to 'fake' being drunk to give her an edge, if she's drinking with a hunter she'll probably have an easier time getting drunk.
Temporary Losses:
- September 21st to October 11th: Lost her full Human DNA and was given X5 DNA

ParadisaEdit
| Name | Current Thoughts On |
| Sam | One of her best friends here. The castle just likes to shove them together and even though they end up together a lot, it does still get awkward fast. |
| Castiel | An angel that she knows from back home. She hit him with a bookend on her arrival. They seem to be doing better now, at least with casual talking. |
| Nanako | A young girl Jo met in the kitchen. She seems very capable. |
| Bela | Not her favorite person in the castle. She rubs her the wrong way, but she'll try to be a bit more respectful and mind her tongue around her from now on. |
| Cordelia | Not a vessel, but probably not an angel either. Works at the Lux with her, mostly doing the books. |
| Max | Hotty McGirl Cat. She seems nice, and it took a bit of time, but they seem to be getting along alright. She might secretly resent her and the relationship she has with Dean, but she's just glad Dean is happy. It doesn't help that Max is super hot, though. |
| Father Abel | Blew up the laundry room. Exceptionally nice. |
| Alessandro | Shy kid. Also there for the laundry room incident. Jo let him visit and play with the duck that was really Lance Sweets on a loss. They hung out at the library once reading about the Popemobile. |
| Lance Sweets | Not really a duck, but that's the first time she met him. Now he's her therapist, which is good, since she probably needs a lot more help than she's willing to admit to. They're meeting sporadically and she feels like she's getting better. |
| Tim | Seems smart. Then again that could be due to the finding him in the library part. They've talked a few times and met once. Jo thinks they get along pretty well for complete strangers. |
| Yotsuba | Freaking ador-able. Jo met her on 'Valemetimes Day' when she was a Cupid hand 'delibering' Valentines to everyone. She's very motivated, and way too cute. |
| Jilly | Had a pretty good talk with her about how crazy life can get, how fast the castle moves, and Chuck. They've hung out a few times since then. Jo finds her very easy to talk to. |
| Asano Rin | Talked to her a bit about magic, but ended up talking more about a Take a Penny, Leave a Penny tray. |
| Jaime | |
| Spike | |
| Larry Paul |
