Stone Free

"Gwess, you said everything has a name. I'll give my power a name too. Stone Free! Because I'm going to break free from this stone ocean."

- Jolyne Cujoh

Stone Free (ストーン・フリー) is the Stand of Jolyne Cujoh, featured in the sixth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stone Ocean.

Stone Free usually manifests as Jolyne's ability to unravel her body into string, but ultimately has a base form of a powerful close-range humanoid Stand.

Appearance
Stone Free is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Jolyne's.

It wears what appears to be a pair of sunglasses varying in darkness, obscuring vertically ridged eyes. Four blade-like protrusions run over its head from the top of the jaw to the back of its neck, bordering the sides of both eyes. Cones truncated at a length of one-third the width of its head protrudes from the region of the ears.

It wears elliptical shoulder pads with a python snakeskin pattern, and hexagonal knee pads. Several patches of its lightly-shaded body reveal a fibrous interior, wound horizontally. Its forehead, neck, arms, and the area from its midriff to the top of its feet bear small, evenly spaced studs/bumps.

Its body is composed of string. When unraveled, its texture is like silk, apparently smelling of soap.

Abilities
Stone Free is a unique close-range Stand that can not only be summoned to fight, but also provides Jolyne with integrated abilities. Like her father's Star Platinum, Jolyne's Stone Free is a close-range power Stand, making it great for fighting physically. Moreover, its string power gives it great versatility that allows Jolyne a wide array of actions in combat.

When Stone Free's string is completely wound or compacted, it gains a physical form and the ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat. However, the Stand's strength is initially considered to be weak by Jolyne; it isn't strong enough to break through prison bars and crushing a coin is the limit of its strength. Later on, when Jolyne's strength and fighting capabilities are enhanced by Survivor, the destructive force of its punch is increased to be roughly equivalent to that exerted by a small, extremely fast meteor. When fighting Whitesnake, Pucci considers Jolyne's Stand to be stronger than his. It is heavily implied that Stone Free's strength increased naturally over time by overcoming many battles. It is also fast enough to deflect several bullets aimed at it. Due to Stone Free's integrated ability of her own body becoming her Stand power, Jolyne is shown to be able to physically touch and harm Stands, despite herself being human.

String Decomposition
Stone Free enables Jolyne to unravel her body into string, typically beginning with her hands, and freely manipulate it.

Stone Free's string is invisible to non-Stand Users. It is also sharp as it can slice through flesh if sufficient force is applied. On the other hand, the string is not particularly strong and may snap under enough strain, although Jolyne can create a stronger rope out of several strings. With enough precision, the string can pickpocket small objects that way. The string can contract and expand like muscles, allowing Stone Free to control the grip a string has.

If Jolyne gathers the string and meshes it, she can concentrate her power and form Stone Free's humanoid appearance, who may fight in her stead, but Stone Free's range is shortened to around 2 meters. Stone Free, composed of strings, can naturally be unraveled too.

Jolyne may unravel around 70% of her body harmlessly, as well as quickly rewind. It notably allows her to be supernaturally flexible and be able to hide in cramped spaces like someone's mouth. At harm to herself, Jolyne may also cut her string for a further variety of applications. Stone Free's maximum range, unraveled to 70%, is about 24 meters, as long as the string's length.

Stone Free's string manipulation makes it exceptionally versatile in battle. With the string, Jolyne is able to:

Trivia

 * Araki tried to keep Stone Free from looking like any previous Stand, and put more focus on how Jolyne has to tear her body apart to fight than on the design.
