"Dame un respiro... (やれやれだわ)"

- Jolyne Cujoh

Jolyne Cujoh (空条 徐倫) es la protagonista de la sexta parte de la serie JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stone Ocean, y la sexta JoJo de la serie. Ella es la hija de una 🇺🇳 y Jotaro Kujo, el protagonista de Stardust Crusaders.

Incriminada de un asesinato por, Jolyne es envíada a Green Dolphin Street Prison, donde investiga y lucha contra el discípulo que DIO más confiaba, el Sacerdote Enrico Pucci. Inicialmente una chica normal, Jolyne rápidamente despierta su Stand basado en hilos, Stone Free, durante su estadía en la cárcel.

Apariencia
Jolyne es una mujer joven de una estatura superior a la promedio y de complexión delgada a atlética.

Con ojos fuertes, usa su cabello en dos "capas": Una base oscura que incluye dos grandes moños en la parte superior de su cabeza y un tramo corto que baja por su cuello; arriba de este, ligeramente teñidas o decoloradas, mantiene dos trenzas que se enrollan alrededor de ambos moños, uniéndose en un tramo corto en la parte de atrás, y un flequillo que enmarca su rostro.

Así como los otros miembros de la familia Joestar, Jolyne tiene una pequeña marca de nacimiento con forma de estrella en la parte posterior de su hombro izquierdo, cerca de su cuello; y tiene tatuada en la parte superior de su antebrazo izquierdo una imagen de unas alas de mariposa superpuestas con una daga apuntando hacia abajo, imagen que también aparece en el pecho de sus atuendos.

La representación de Jolyne en la Part 6 cambia ligeramente de una complexión delgada y suave a una más dinámica y atlética. Simultáneamente, utiliza una serie de atuendos principalmente de color oscuro, caracterizados por tener un estampado similar a una telaraña.


 * Atuendo 1: Una falda corta, unas botas hasta las espinillas y una camiseta sin mangas (halter top) que deja al descubierto su abdomen, con 2 trozos de tela a cada lado sujetándolo a su falda de manera similar a unos tirantes. Lleva una pequeña pieza en el pecho con el mismo diseño de su tatuaje.
 * Atuendo 2: Similar al Atuendo 1, excepto que usa pantalones con unas botas unidas a estos y una chaqueta con el nombre de la prisión. La chaqueta es corta, cubriendo su espalda baja hasta el área de la cadera. Usado durante su primera semana en prisión. La imagen en la Infobox es este atuendo.


 * Atuendo 3: El Atuendo 2 pero con una chaqueta más larga y ligeramente más oscura (a juego con el largo del abrigo de Jotaro). Después de los eventos de Whitesnake - The Pursuer, se hace a ella misma un piercing en el ombligo en forma de estrella.


 * Atuendo 4: Usado después de haber escapado de prisión. Una camiseta sin mangas (muscle shirt) destrozada que se asemeja a su arterior camiseta sin mangas (halter top). En su pecho, ahora trae una pieza grande en forma de corazón superpuesta con la imagen de su tatuaje. Usa dos mini cinturones sobre el área de las costillas (un cinturón en cada final). Un brazalete de tela adorna uno de sus antebrazos, y conserva su piercing del ombligo antes de perderlo en los capítulos finales. Usa un cinturón diferente alrededor de su cintura con una capa larga unida a la espalda.

Jolyne, Fly High with GUCCI
En el one-shot, Jolyne hace acto de presencia con distintos atuendos. Viste principalmente un chaquetón de lino blanco con un elaborado adorno floral y una bufanda a juego. Debajo de la chaqueta, Jolyne lleva un vestido que también cambia sin motivo, la primera versión siendo negra con el mismo adorno floral, la segunda siendo un vestido blanco.

Jolyne también viste en orden: un traje rosa de tres piezas con sandalias de plataforma con púas y un collar elaborado, un vestido sencillo amarillo con elaboradas decoraciones de flores y frutas en la zona de los hombros, y un vestido marrón con un cinturón de cuero a juego.

En el one-shot, el cabello de Jolyne es constantemente representando como verde con hebras rubias de cabello.

Personalidad
Frívola, brusca, e irritable con sus mayores, Jolyne en su adolescencia era fácilmente considerada una delincuente y una causa perdida. Amargada con Jotaro por estar ausente durante casi toda su vida, intentó múltiples veces llamar la atención de su padre cometiendo distintos delitos menores y fue a la cárcel varias veces por ellos. Debido a la ausencia de una figura paterna, Jolyne dependía del afecto y la aprobación de aquellos que la rodeaban, y estaba lista para cubrir el accidente de Romeo, terminando siendo condenada a 15 años en prisión por ello.

Después de adquirir su Stand y de que Jotaro le dijera su amor por ella, Jolyne madura notablemente, volviéndose más valiente y confiada. "Revivir" a Jotaro, quién cayó en un coma debido a que Whitesnake le robó su Stand y su memoria, se convirtió su primera prioridad.

Jolyne retains her confrontational attitude throughout the story. A former delinquent living in a maximum security prison, Jolyne had to toughen up and can be especially rude. She frequently taunts enemies. She also advocates aggressively asserting herself, especially in the prison, and once told F.F. to violently confront an inmate who cut in the queue for buying their lunch. Jolyne is particularly violent in her fights; she's used the cutting ability of her string to gruesomely wound her opponents, severing ears and nails for instance. Jolyne usually doesn't seek to kill and even said that she didn't want Ermes to become a murderer. However, she readily uses lethal force against her archenemy Enrico Pucci and he was the one enemy she explicitely said she would kill.

Jolyne also has a vindictive side and repays tenfold any wrong committed against her, notably indirectly cutting Romeo's tongue for betraying her, or had her crooked attorney have a crash in his car. Moreover, Jolyne still holds a little grudge against Gwess, her first enemy and wants nothing to do with her despite the latter's effort to behave in front of Jolyne. More humourously, Jolyne kept a grudge against alligators in general after Limp Bizkit revived one that attacked her, and she had fun tossing something at another alligator's head as a form of revenge.

Jolyne possesses a fierce determination, carrying her through several battles and inspiring her companions. After learning of DIO's plan, Jolyne took pride in her lineage and opted to continue Jotaro's effort to seal the menace DIO left behind him. Jolyne stoically endures the hardships she faces and carry on her goal, disregarding the suffering and possible risks. For instance when she was brought to the maximum security ward, Jolyne was only momentarily disturbed by the horrible living conditions of the cell (the food tray was covered in insects) as well as the harrassement of the other inmates in the ward and quickly soldiered on through the ordeal. Her determination is so great that she was willing to lose a limb or even her life to defeat her enemy and save her comrades, an inclination especially prevalent in her that culminated in her sacrifice to get Emporio away from Pucci. One good exemple of her usual determination is the moment she set herself on fire to buy herself the time to attack Rikiel, ignoring the great risks to herself since her body was made of strings. Even still, Jolyne once expressed her doubts about being able to stop Pucci after Weather Report's death and the priest's second escape.

Common in her lineage, Jolyne has honorable morals and treasures her family and friends. She would selflessly do everything in her power to help her companions and random victimized people, once helping a fellow mistreated prisoner to take back stolen money from her tormentors. Jolyne is willing to believe in the good in people, which resulted in a share of betrayals, but also earned her F.F.'s friendship. Jolyne is especially sweet to Emporio, her real first ally in Green Dolphin Street, and despite its status as an enemy, she didn't want to kill the Green Baby. Jolyne's primary motivation for investigating Whitesnake was her love for her father, and Pucci exploited that affection to escape her when he tossed Jotaro's memory disc inside of a dying Anasui, putting her through a difficult choice and forcing her to try to save her father's memory.

Outside of combat, Jolyne behaves like an average young woman, if not a teenage girl, hanging out with her friends and occupying herself the best she can in the prison, as she is also fun-loving. Jolyne notably played ball with F.F. and Ermes, and made herself a navel ring while in isolation. Unlike her father, Jolyne is rather extroverted and easily expresses her feelings to others. She is a sociable woman and can converse with her fellow prisoners easily, asking for explanations about the ins and outs of Green Dolphin Street.

Jolyne is notable for being somewhat libertine, being the first and only JoJo to admit to masturbating, and offhandedly commenting that snails' ability to copulate with anything makes her slightly jealous. Jolyne also mentions her need to urinate in the middle of a fight with another person, a man at that. She is horribly embarrassed to talk about masturbation in public and being caught in the act by a guard flustered and mortified her deeply.

Araki created Jolyne with the hopes of "making up" for his previous (and in his eyes, failed) attempt at a female protagonist. Aside from offering an interesting contrast to most shonen comics, he thinks she is a "real woman" sorely lacking in the medium. The role reversal between her and her father was devised for her character to go beyond the typical archetypes found in Japanese fiction.

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 A's in Destructive power, Persistence, and Developmental potential.

Unlike the rest of her family, Jolyne has awakened her Stand from being cut by an amulet (later to be revealed a Stand-creating stone arrowhead in disguise) given to her by her father.

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.

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. Her father's absence following this led to her teenage years of delinquency (she later reflects that these events were a desperate call for attention). During Jolyne's imprisonment, Jotaro visited her in an effort to break her out. Angered that he would come out of the blue to see her after years of absence, Jolyne blew up at him, citing his inattentive behavior and his divorce. However, after risking life and limb to get Jolyne out as well as losing his Stand in the process, Jolyne broke down and got Jotaro to safety, sacrificing her own freedom and vowing to get his Stand back. As time passed, Jolyne came to respect her father more and idolized him somewhat, adapting his trademark "Yare yare daze" into a more feminine "Yare yare dawa". When Jotaro returns later, both father and daughter show considerable care to one another, each in their own way.


 * 🇺🇳: 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". It's mentioned that she is an American.

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 Max, 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.
 * Foo Fighters: Foo Fighters initially met Jolyne as enemies. However, Jolyne spares Foo Fighters; grateful to Jolyne, they become an ally. Jolyne treats Foo Fighters with respect and is very friendly with them, and noting their naïveté, is protective toward them. Foo Fighters, nicknamed F.F. by Jolyne, is inspired by her determination, and cherishes the memories they have of her. They are ultimately willing to put themself in danger and even sacrifice themself to save Jolyne's life.


 * Romeo Jisso: Before Jolyne's growth as a person, she and Romeo were in a relationship; with Jolyne being particularly affectionate and meek and Romeo trying to keep some distance, as he was suspicious of her past as a possible gang member. Their relationship ended when Romeo framed her for his manslaughter with aggravating circumstance, landing her in prison for a crime she didn't commit. After she escapes from prison, Jolyne pays him a visit and he weeps for forgiveness. Romeo shows genuine repentance and actually helps her, but while Jolyne doesn't show any lingering anger, she takes the occasion to damage his tongue to silence him.


 * Weather Report: When they first met, Jolyne was flabbergasted by Weather's eccentric behavior. However, during the fight against Lang Rangler, both eventually see each other as allies, and trust each other. Anasui even suspects him to be a rival for Jolyne's love and is jealous when Jolyne is with him. Regardless, there are hints of Jolyne caring for Weather in a more-than-fraternal way notably when upon meeting again, Jolyne hugs Weather. Jolyne was also particularly distraught at Weather's death.


 * Narciso Anasui: Though Anasui fell in love with Jolyne at first sight, the feeling wasn't mutual; Jolyne was not really sure what to think of him. He would sometimes try to seduce her in underhanded ways, such as asking F.F. to trip her down the stairs so he could romantically catch her or prompting a French kiss from a temporary-mute Jolyne. Even so, he's truly devoted to her and will do everything in his power to keep her from being distressed. He has risked his life for her on more than one occasion and turns murderous when Jolyne is severely hurt. At the end of Stone Ocean, Jolyne and Anasui's counterparts Irene and Annakiss want to marry each other.

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 thorn on his side threat 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. Jolyne became more than determined in stopping him and putting an end to his plans but her efforts would soon be fatal while she almost fell to Pucci's newly evolved C-Moon and would finally fall to his Made In Heaven while protecting Emporio, but has managed to cut the right side of his eye before dying.
 * Donatello Versus: Due to his alliance with Pucci, Donatello and Jolyne were enemies. An additional reason for their antagonism would be that Jolyne's father destroyed Donatello's father. In the end Jolyne accidentally killed Donatello after being tricked by Whitesnake into thinking he was Pucci. Unbeknownst to either of them since Donatello was conceived when Dio possessed Jonathan's body Donatello is actually Jolyne's distant uncle.
 * Johngalli A.: As the man who got her framed for murder, Jolyne and Johngalli A. were enemies. Johngalli A. attempted to murder Jolyne and Jotaro to avenge DIO but failed. As payback, Jolyne pummeled Johngalli A. as the sniper realized that Jolyne was more resourceful than she looked and inherited Jotaro's blood.
 * Gwess: Jolyne's cellmate during her time at Green Dolphin. Jolyne inadvertently awakened Gwess's Stand power with her pendant. Gwess originally used her powers to bully Jolyne by shrinking her, but after Jolyne beat her she acted like her subordinate, advising Jolyne during her early days in prison and being somewhat afraid of her. Jolyne still had an arm-length relationship with Gwess but nonetheless tolerated her afterward.
 * Miuccia Miuller: Miu as an assassin sent by Pucci to make sure Jolyne doesn't interfere with his plans. Miu manipulated Jolyne into forgetting her goals and friends. After Jolyne remembered them, she beat up Miu and used her to escape the prison.

Trivia



 * In the original Weekly Shonen Jump publication of Stone Ocean Chapter 34, Jolyne says Foo Fighters looks like an Okama (オカマ) (Japanese slang for homosexual) when throwing the baseball. In the volume release, the word is replaced with gay (ゲイ).
 * Like other protagonists, she is nicknamed "JoJo". However, unlike her great-grandfather and father, she initially disliked being called with that nickname, only letting her mother use it.
 * According to Hideto Azuma, Araki's editor at the time of Stone Ocean, he had requested that Jolyne's character was to be a man as Weekly Shonen Jump was a magazine for boys. However, Araki insisted on Jolyne's gender, saying that the fact that readers wouldn't accept a female lead was exactly the reason Jolyne had to be a woman.
