I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Name: Joanna Beth Harvelle Jordan
Nicknames: Jo
Age: 26
Classification: Human/Hunter
Orientation: Straight
Affiliations: Winchesters, Her Family
Occupation: Mom, Bar Owner, Hunter
PB Claim: Alona Tal
Personal Description:
Jo is just a little shorter than average at 5'4" tall. She has a slender but athletic build. The natural color of her eyes is a medium brown, that looks a bit like a dark golden honey or amber color. Her long blonde hair is usually worn straight, though sometimes she allows the tiny bit of natural waves come out or she will do it up more if the occasion calls for it.
Personality:
Jo can be kind of a smart ass and sarcastic sometimes. She is also smart and resourceful and can hold her own during a demon hunt/fight. She also has a softer side that comes out around certain people especially her husband or when she talks about her family particularly her father who was killed while on a hunt.
Jo is still independent and doesn't like anyone telling her what to do. She will rebel. Conflicts with people close to her have occurred (like her mother) because of this. Though she has tempered that a bit since she has been married and has a family.
She has always wanted to be a hunter and people like her mother were against it. Jo doesn't like being treated like a child or like she can't do the job. She doesn't realize that it is because they care about her and don't want her to get hurt. Or she may realize it but her desire to do the job is too strong not continue to pursue it. Being a hunter has always been about the memory of her father and the dedication to helping people even if they don't know what's out there.
Personal Style:
Jo has long blond hair usually worn straight. Sometimes some waves or curls are more prominent than others. She wears make-up but fairly subtle most times. Jo dresses pretty casual most of the time. As a hunter she wears practical clothes that are easy to move around in. Jeans, cargo pants, T-shirts, tank tops, flannel shirts, leather jacket, boots. She can dress up when she wants to but it's not that often that she has the occasion.
Personality Quirks:
She tends to roll her eyes a lot.
Much to the dismay of her husband, Jo can leap before she looks sometimes. Which frustrates him and brings out his protectiveness in full force, but he has to admit that if she didn't take risks, they wouldn't be married and have the life they have now.
History:
Thanks Wiki (some edits made).
Joanna Beth Harvelle, also known as "Jo" is the daughter of Ellen Harvelle and William Anthony Harvelle, a deceased hunter who was killed during a hunt with John Winchester when Jo was still a child. Jo treasures her father's pure iron knife engraved with W.A.H. on the blade. She was once in college, but will not return because she "was just a freak with a knife collection." Growing up Jo lived with her mother at Harvelle's Roadhouse, which Ellen runs. While working at her mother's saloon she has met many hunters, many of whom "have tried to get into her pants with Domino's pizza, a six-pack of Budweiser, and side one of Zeppelin IV." She has a bit of a rebellious streak, wanting to go out and hunt like her father. This urge is severely discouraged by her mother.
Jo first met Sam and Dean when they come looking for Ellen after their father, John Winchester, dies. Jo and Ellen end up holding the brothers at gunpoint until they explain their relationship to John. Jo sort of had romantic feelings for Dean and he also stated that he too has feelings for her, but because his father had just died, he felt it was the wrong time and place. As time went on Dean and Jo seem interested in each other.
When Jo returns from a hunt with Dean and Sam, in a rage, her mother reveals to her that John was responsible for the death of her father. Later Jo states that her father died when John and her father set a trap for "some kind of hell spawn" which failed and caused Jo's dad to become unprotected from a demonic attack. Jo only was aware from her mother that her dad had died because of John's recklessness and the demon's attack. It is later revealed by Sam, who is under the possession of the demon formerly possessing Meg Masters that the demon only wounded her father but John actually killed him by way of gunshot, "to put him out of his misery".
After sending Dean and Sam away after having learned the truth, she wants to continue hunting, but her mother says not while she lives under her roof. Jo leaves soon after the ultimatum and sends Ellen postcards every so often. When Sam is possessed by the demon, he shoots Dean in the arm. Jo finds Dean and patches him up. Jo then attempts to follow Dean in the search for Sam, but is told by Dean that she cannot follow him. Jo gives Dean some pain medication and does not argue with him, choosing to stay behind. Dean tells Jo he will call her, and as he leaves, Jo quietly whispers, "No, you won't".
Since the event's with the Winchester's Jo went out on her own and hunted. She hasn't seen Sam or Dean since. Jo kind of retreated into herself and withdrawing from most of the people she knew. At one point she met a man that she fell in love with, but not long after they realized it was more than just a fling he was possessed by a voodoo Queen's Spirit and she lost him. Again she threw herself into her hunting and pulled herself away from people. Preferring to work alone. After a few months she happened to end up in Las Vegas on the trail of a vampire she had tracked from Texas. Realizing she had lost the vampire and it would be nearly impossible to find them again in a place like Vegas she stumbled upon the wedding reception of an old friend.
Deciding she might as well stop in and give her congratulations to her friends she ended up meeting a man at the bar. The man was Curse Jordan. They hit it off from the beginning and before the night was over they ended up getting married. Though they had been drinking a lot and they didn't realize it until the next morning when they woke up. With the feeling that something had brought them together and that there was definitely some kind of connection between them they decided to see how the marriage thing worked out. Over the next couple months they realized that they did love one another and were happy they had decided to stay married.
Not long after that, they found out that Jo was pregnant. This forced them into making some decisions, needing to find a way to settle down a bit but still be able to keep hunting. They decided to buy a bar and live in New Orleans.
Too say things happen fast for this couple is an understatement.
Roleplay Example:
Jo was on alert now, she heard Ben come up from behind her and start to speak but stopped mid-sentence with an exclamation. He must have seen the vamps heading their way. She gave a quick glance at Ben and shrugged. Her look trying to convey a "what else is new?" expression. Shit busting loose in clubs Lexi owned seemed to be a regular occurrence.
Jo heard Curse's voice. Grumbling about Luka and not volunteering to help out at Wicked again. Silently she agreed with him. Why did this kind of shit always seem to happen?
Then things happened pretty quickly as Curse spun and shot one of the vamps. Using one of his modified guns that shot rounds full of dead-man's blood. Before Jo had gotten a chance Curse had fired at another one. Then tossed the gun at her before he jumping into the action full force. Jo caught the gun and then stood there with the dagger in one hand and the gun in the other. With a frustrated scream she yelled into the air at no one particular."IT'S MY GOD DAMN ANNIVERSARY. WHAT THE HELL IS THE WORLD CONSPIRING AGAINST ME?"Then she twisted around in Ben's direction. Bringing the gun up as she moved. Firing over Ben's shoulder at the bloodsucker that was coming up behind him. Hitting the vamp right in the forehead.
Growling Jo turned around trying to see where Curse had gone. She spotted him, but before she could move in his direction she had a vampire coming right for her. Growling a little she crouched and then sprung up with a kick to the vamps chest, knocking him back and sending him sprawling on the ground. Then not giving him a chance to get up she was right there standing over him. Without hesitation she stomped down on his throat with her heeled shoe and ripped it through his neck. As blood spurted out she pulled her foot up then using the knife, plunged it into the wound, finishing the job of severing the spinal cord, effectively beheading the thing.
Jo stood back up. Now she was really not happy. She was covered in blood, her dress and shoes ruined. Kicking off her shoes now so she could move around easier she scanned the room and her eyes locked onto Curse again. He was locked in a battle himself, but it didn't stop him from making a snarky comment."Well, you did say you missed some action!"Jo rolled her eyes at him. She was about to move on to take on another bloodsucker when suddenly she saw one coming up on Curse's blindside. Jo was too far away to get there before the creature would get to her husband. A feeling of fear and protection rose up in her. She wasn't sure what else to do, yelling out a warning to her husband."CURSE WATCH OUT!"A surge of energy washed over her. She was about to run full speed in his direction and launch herself at the attacking vamp when suddenly the thing burst into flames. Jo stood stock still looking on. Watching as the thing burned so hot and fast that it crumbled to ashes in a matter of seconds.
Jo blinked. What the hell was that about? With everything going on she didn't have much time to think about it. But it certainly was damn convenient. Finally she was able to get across the space and next to Curse. Jumping in to help fight the group of vampires around him.
