She wears a white tunic with grey highlights, and long brown pants that bunch up around her shoes, and her gloved hand is found clutching a sai. Her brown hair is matted, messy, and big. Her amber eyes dart around the room hyper actively observing anyone and anything.

History: Jo was raised in a hard working conservative environment. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Jo took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up sai and armor she uses now. She has drifted from career to career and currently works as a Herbalist.
