Jolyne Cujoh

Jolyne is a young woman of above-average height and a slim to athletic build.↗

Outfits

A halter top that exposes her midriff, has a heart shaped hole below her neck, and is covered with several smaller decorative holes. Along with shin-high boots, she wears a long mesh skirt with her underwear visible through its holes.↗

During her adolescence, Jolyne was lonely and longed for affection from her father, Jotaro. When Jolyne was 14, she found a wallet containing five dollars. The father of the wallet owner accused her of stealing it and called the police, causing Jolyne to panic and steal their car before she was arrested. She later admitted that she did not even know why she did it, only knowing that her father would eventually come to her rescue. Due to her father's absence, Jolyne became dependent on the affection and approval of those around her. She was ready to cover Romeo 's accident, resulting in her being sentenced to 15 years in prison for it.↗↗↗↗

At some point, Jolyne was in a biker gang, though she later tries to hide this from Romeo. She eventually leaves the gang and starts going to school, with her teachers even encouraging her to take college admission tests. Early in her imprisonment, Jolyne is bullied by her cellmate Gwess and is visibly shaken by her situation, crying when thinking about her mother and regretting that she helped cover up Romeo's hit-and-run accident. After acquiring her Stand and being told by Jotaro of his love for her, Jolyne noticeably matures, becoming more courageous and confident. "Reviving" Jotaro, who fell into a coma after Whitesnake stole his Stand and memory, becomes her top priority.↗↗↗↗↗↗↗

Stand

Stone Free grants Jolyne the ability to unravel parts of her body into a string. This makes it a very versatile Stand, enabling her to listen in on communications as well as escape and hide by unraveling parts of herself into string.↗

When she assembles the string, Jolyne can properly materialize Stone Free, partially or entirely. Stone Free is a humanoid Stand which has comparable physical prowess to the strongest Stands, with rankings of A in Destructive Power, Stamina, and Potential.↗

Personal Skills

Intelligence: Jolyne's greatest asset is her imagination. The versatile power of her Stand allows her a wide range of moves which she extensively uses. For example, when Pucci used C-MOON to invert Jolyne's body, she used Stone Free to create a " Möbius Strip " rendering her effectively invulnerable to its power.↗↗

True to any other Joestar, Jolyne is particularly adept at using whatever presents itself to her advantage, among others the environment and the enemy's power. Jolyne's quick thinking has allowed her to prevail against enemies.↗

Jolyne combines her tactics with a high level of recklessness, often endangering herself to surprise enemies with an unanticipated move. The particular nature of her power nonetheless assures that she can shrug off some of the damage ordinary Stand users cannot risk in a fight.↗

Jolyne's intelligence is intuitive to a degree, as she often shrugs off some of her moves as dumb luck, although it is a valid interpretation of her actions.↗↗

Hand to Hand Combat: She has also shown to be capable of defending herself, seen in full detail against Officer Westwood. She has extensive knowledge of self-defense, which she demonstrates throughout the series, notably against Pucci.↗

The idea of a female JoJo protagonist was something that Araki had wanted to do since Part 5, with the protagonist Giorno Giovanna. Araki had previously written a female protagonist for his older series, Gorgeous Irene, however, he decided against doing it again as he felt that female leads never worked out well for him, and that it was too hard to get away with depicting violence against women in a shonen manga at the time. This was also the reason why not many female characters were featured until later in the series, as he thought the idea of drawing a girl getting beat up was far too cruel.↗↗↗↗

Family

Jotaro Kujo: Her distant and near-fatherless childhood bore a tinge of loneliness in her, at times resenting him but also wanting his affection. Her relationship with Jotaro is challenging at first, not really fitting the typical father-daughter mold. When Jolyne was fourteen, she was wrongfully accused of pickpocketing. Panicked, she stole a car, sloppily tried to make an escape from the authorities, and was arrested soon afterward. Jolyne anticipated that Jotaro would pay her bail, but was sorely disappointed when she overheard her mother's frantic and unsuccessful pleas with him on the phone.↗

Mother: Jolyne's mother rarely appears and is hardly talked about. It's assumed that she loves Jolyne very much and dotes on her in Jotaro's absence, as she was the only known person to be allowed to call Jolyne "JoJo".↗

Friends

Ermes Costello: Ermes is possibly the first true friend that Jolyne encounters in her life when they meet and bond in jail. Her relationship with Ermes resembles that of Jotaro's relationship with Jean Pierre Polnareff. Jolyne and Ermes see each other as worthy allies and friends, and because of their similar temper, get along well and kill time together. She has fought alongside Jolyne against many powerful enemies like Sports Maxx, Rikiel, & Donatello Versus.↗

Emporio Alnino: Emporio's relationship with Jolyne is somewhat similar to her ancestor Jonathan Joestar to Poco, as Jolyne treats Emporio like a little brother and trustworthy ally, while Emporio is inspired by her courage and determination. Jolyne saves him from many dangerous situations and eventually sacrifices herself so than he may live, trusting that Emporio will defeat Pucci. Emporio's relationship with Jolyne extends to Irene as well.↗

Enemies

Enrico Pucci: Pucci only saw Jolyne as bait at first in order to get to Jotaro, but as she proved to be a persistent threat to his scheme while finding her father's Stand and memory disks, Pucci threaded carefully around her. Unaware of his involvement at first, Jolyne treated the priest with respect. They became enemies right away once she was informed that Whitesnake was Pucci's Stand and was eager to take his life.↗
