A detailed chronological summary of the life of Jolyne Cujoh.


Early life

Jolyne at age 14.

Jolyne's childhood was often spent without her father Jotaro Kujo, as his job frequently required him to leave the country. Even when she was subjected to a high fever (42°C) at age 6, Jotaro didn't return from Japan to be with her, which she resented[1][2]. In truth, Jotaro made sure not to involve his family in the dangerous adventures he lived. Jolyne's frustration grew when her mother was divorced by Jotaro.

Jolyne's adolescence was marked by crime. At the age of 14, she was already a delinquent. During one incident, Jolyne found a wallet on the ground, although it only contained $5. The proprietor of the wallet called the police, which made Jolyne panic. She opened the door to the man's car, ordered him to stop the call, and stole the car when she heard the police come. Howeved, she quickly crashed into other cars. Jolyne was arrested and charged, but her young age allowed her to be freed. Jolyne also heard her mother's conversation with Jotaro, understanding that Jotaro wouldn't even come there and instead go to Tokyo.[3] It is also said that she stole a motorbike.[4] She was part of a gang named the Hell Riders and she stole cars and bikes.[5] She also acquired a tatoo on the forearm during this period.

However, it seems that she cleaned up her act, left the gang, and took her studies seriously, as her teacher told her she would be able to take the university exam.[4] Jolyne also went out with a well-off boy named Romeo Jisso.

Jolyne's crime

On October 28, 2011, on the Florida Western Beach Road 32, Jolyne committed a grave crime. Jolyne was having a moment with Romeo while he was driving, but their car suddenly and violently hit a pedestrian. Seeing the man on a tree, Jolyne tried to call an ambulance but a distressed Romeo stopped her. Romeo told Jolyne that they had to think about their future and said that the rain would erase the evidence. As some vehicles could be seen approaching from the horizon, Romeo hastily tried to put the man in the trunk and yelled at Jolyne to help him. Jolyne helped Romeo hide the body. Romeo assured Jolyne that he would take care of the rest but on November 2nd, Jolyne was arrested by the police. The car had been found and her fingerprints were on an empty bottle in the car.

Stone Ocean (2011-2012)

Jolyne in prison

Jolyne is put in jail for a time. One day, she is caught masturbating by one of the guards, making her bash her head against her bed in shame. She also gets acquainted with a fellow prisoner, Ermes Costello, and shuts up another prisoner that chastises her for being too horny when she notes that she can see when other women masturbate by looking at her left ring finger's joints. Jolyne meets with her lawyer, who informs her that she being prosecuted and that her bail has been refused. The procedure may take months and thus she will be transferred to Green Dolphin Street Prison for the time being; the lawyer also brings her some essential personal belonging, and a peculiar pendant on which she pricks herself. Jolyne looks inside and sees a sharp rock shard, but is more focused on the fact that it comes from her father (Jotaro instructed Jolyne's mother to give this to Jolyne in case she got into trouble) and thus throws it away in anger.
Jolyne's first appearance.
On November 6, 2011, Jolyne is transferred to Green Dolphin Street Prison. Jolyne befriends Ermes Costello. Ermes tells her how vital it is to have money in prison. Jolyne accidentally guesses that Ermes is hiding some money in her breasts. Upon arrival, Jolyne is escorted towards the gates but realizes that Ermes is isolated and mugged by the guards for her money as they overheard the conversation. Confused, Jolyne sees that her finger has unraveled into a string that transmits the sound toward her. To save Ermes, Jolyne instinctively controls the string to have a guard cut his own ear. The guards stop their attack on Ermes and Jolyne's string disappears. But she acquires some money. Jolyne understands that this power is linked to Jotaro's gift.

Jolyne is kept in the administrative center for a time. On November 8, Jolyne has another meeting with her lawyer. The lawyer brings up every incriminating evidence on the car. However, Jolyne doesn't even mention Romeo to protect him. The lawyer invokes the possibility of a plea bargain: if Jolyne pleads guilty, her sentence will probably be reduced. Jolyne initially refuses but hearing that she may be in prison for 5 years, she reluctantly accepts to plead guilty for car theft and accidental manslaughter.

On the day of the trial, Jolyne pleads guilty on all charges. However, the judge suddenly mentions other facts that the lawyer didnt mention, namely that Jolyne purposefully brought the car to a swamp to hide the evidence, killing the victim. The judge sentence Jolyne Cujoh to 15 years of prison for murder. Confused, Jolyne eavesdrop on the lawyer and discover that he and Romeo worked together so that Jolyne could be punished for the crime without possibility of her appealing her sentence and thus Romeo's action being investigated.

Jolyne is thus brough to Green Dolphin Street Prison proper. She's manhandled through the procedure of personal search and medical examination. She incidentally sees her lawyer passing by and swears revenge. Having a vengeful note handed to him, Jolyne puts a bit of her string around the lawyer's neck without him noticing. On his car, the lawyer feels choked by the strings with the dry air of the conditioner blows on them, causing a crash. Jolyne is determined to survive the prison thanks to her ability and get out as quickly as possible. She is then forced to bribe the hairdresser and give him $30 to save her hair. She is then briefed the rules of the prison by Loccobarocco, the prison manager. To get ahead, she steals a pen.

Gwess & Goo Goo Dolls

Jolyne is brought to her cell, where she meets Gwess, her roommate. Under her sympathetic exterior, Gwess is revealed to be quite pushy and vicious, yelling at Jolyne for daring to take her bottom bunk. Jolyne was confused because Gwess had laid her belonging on the top. But, Jolyne notices the pendant, but Gwess refuses to give it even if it's a familial heirloom and sells it at $200. Suddenly, it seems that someone has taken their arms out of Gwess' pet parakeet to grab a piece of biscuit.

The next day, Gwess wakes Jolyne up. Gwess shows Jolyne the pendant but it is empty, and seek reconciliation. However, Jolyne cannot go to breakfast because her only clothes were wetted by Gwess. When Jolyne arrives at the cafeteria, everything is sold out. Worse, Gwess has bought two portions and throws away what she hasn't eaten. In the trash bin, Jolyne spots the photo of her parents. Observing Gwess acting weird with her pet, Jolyne snatches it and orders whoever is inside to come out. To her shock, there now only torn up miniature human limbs inside. Jolyne tries to hide from Gwess but suddenly finds herself shrunken to the parakeet's side and Gwess finds her.

Jolyne is captured and becomes Gwess' pet. Bringing Jolyne back to the cell, Gwess reveals that she suddenly acquired her power and plans to use this ability to escape. Gwess considers Jolyne her pet rat now and tells her to shut up or only say cute things. Moreover, Gwess brutally "trains" Jolyne in order to build up her strength. Jolyne tries to cheat Gwess, incurring her wrath but disturbingly, Gwess becomes amused and spares Jolyne.

Later, Gwess sends Jolyne on a reconnaissance mission to control center beyond the iron gate of the ward. When a guard angrily tells Gwess to identify herself and get away from the gate, Jolyne enters the control center and sneaks under a desk. In there, she scouts the security system. Suddenly, she notices that she's slowly growing and the noise she makes by bumping the wood attracts the attention of the guards. While the guards discuss about the possible origin of the sound, Jolyne grows too tall for the mouse skin. She bumps the desk again and the guards' attention is brought here. Just before a guard looks under the desk, she uses the string to make a coffee cup fall, distracting the guards while she hides inside of a jacket. A guard brings the jacket outside, allowing her to sneakily run back to the ward. However, she soon notices a creature chasing her. It is the Stand, Goo Goo Dolls. Forced to defend herself, Jolyne tries to tie up the enemy but it breaks the string, hurting her hand. Still pursued, Jolyne tries to scale the door and reach the framework. Wondering if all this is her punishment, Jolyne suddenly realizes that she's stuck between a beam and the wall. Goo Goo Dolls reaches her and attacks, but is suddenly punched away.

An arm, and then a whole body materializes as Jolyne's string creates a shape. Jolyne's sudden protector beats up Goo Goo Dolls and Gwess comes, defeated. Jolyne orders Gwess to shrink her again so that she can free herself. However, Gwess distracts Jolyne by dropping the pendant on the ground and punches her through the bars of the gate. Gwess calls the guard and Jolyne is found trespassing out of the ward, causing a security alert. A supplementary metal fence slides down and Gwess gloats at the fact that Jolyne will be summarily shot on the spot. However, Jolyne's string Stand effortlessly punches Gwess in the face through the fence. Jolyne names her Stand "Stone Free", violently pummels Gwess, and ties her up, ordering her again to shrink her. Defeated for good, Gwess obeys Jolyne and she escapes death. Because the guard was only looking at Jolyne from the back, he cannot identify her.

Jolyne accustoms herself to prison life and her Stand. One day, Jolyne carelessly lends $1 to a fellow inmate who needs to call her family. At the same time, Jolyne discovers that phone calls are reserved one month in advance and cannot use the phones for now. Gwess warns her to get the money back as quickly as possible or else she'll be known as a potential prey. In the reading room, Jolyne politely asks the inmate for her money only to be violently rebuked. Unfazed, Jolyne makes her swallow the dust of a pulverized coin, making her sick. Jolyne occupies the toilets and extorts $10 from the inmate, securing her reputation. She allows herself to help another bullied prisoner get revenge.

Jotaro's Visit

One day, Jolyne receives a visit. Despite the warnings of a mysterious child named Emporio Alniño, Jolyne goes to the visitation room to find her father, Jotaro Kujo. Furious about his absence in her life, Jolyne tries to leave without talking to him. However, Jotaro warns her that his enemies framed her in an attempt to lure him to a place where he would be vulnerable. Soon they find themselves battling two Stands, Johngalli A the blind sniper with his bullet-redirecting Stand Manhattan Transfer and the Stand Whitesnake, which traps Jolyne and Jotaro in an illusion. Although Jolyne and Jotaro manage to escape, Jotaro's memory and Stand are stolen by Whitesnake in the form of discs. Jotaro's last words, stating that he has always cherished his daughter, shake Jolyne. Jolyne delivers Jotaro to the care of the Speedwagon Foundation, but she decides to remain in jail and retrieve his memory and Stand, as well as find the Stand user of Whitesnake.

Jotaro's Stand Disc

Ermes Costello, having awakened her own Stand, Kiss, and battled Thunder McQueen, retrieved Thunder's memory disc. By using the disc, Jolyne and Ermes find a hidden stash of discs near a farm.

In order to search the farm, Jolyne and Ermes volunteer to aid the search party for two missing prisoners near the bogs, but have to fight the plankton Stand Foo Fighters when they discover Jotaro's Stand disc. After a lengthy confrontation, Jolyne spares Foo Fighters, seeing that it was misguided rather than evil. Foo Fighters takes over the corpse of the prisoner Atroe to live with Jolyne's group in the prison.

In possession of Jotaro's stand disc, Jolyne attracts the attention of Enrico Pucci, who previously dismissed her as a mere pawn in his plan. Realizing she poses a real danger to his success, Pucci sends Miraschon with her Stand Marilyn Manson to retrieve the Stand disc and kill Jolyne's group. Miraschon is subsequently defeated by Jolyne and Foo Fighters.

Jolyne's makes a call to the Speedwagon Foundation, but it is intercepted by Pucci. Pucci sends Lang Rangler with his Stand Jumpin' Jack Flash to assassinate her. However, one of Emporio's allies, Weather Report (using his Stand of the same name), comes to help, and kills Lang with Jolyne. Having set up a rendezvous in the prison courtyard, Jolyne manages to deliver the disc to a messenger pigeon despite Whitesnake's efforts to stop her. Jotaro's Stand is returned to him, but he cannot be fully "revived" without his memory disc.

The Maximum Security Ward

Ermes Costello, who is revealed to have willingly went to prison, kills Sports Maxx in revenge, a gangster who killed her sister. Unfortunately, Sports Maxx's Stand Limp Bizkit resurrects him as a Zombie and a battle ensues with Ermes, Jolyne and Foo Fighters against Sports Maxx's army of invisible zombies. Sports Maxx is soon vanquished, but Ermes is gravely injured, and Jolyne is committed to the prison's 'maximum security ward.'

The examination of Sports Maxx's memory disc reveals Whitesnake used Sports Maxx to resurrect a mysterious bone which is now in the maximum security ward. Jolyne is determined to find this bone. However, Pucci sent four Stand users to kill her, while Foo Fighters enlists Emporio's second ally Narciso Anasui, possessing the stand Diver Down, to help them protect Jolyne. Viviano Westwood, a prison guard rendered mad by the Stand Survivor, frees all the prisoners and fights Jolyne. While Westwood is a difficult opponent with his Stand Planet Waves, Jolyne ultimately defeats him.

The third Stand user, an elderly man named Kenzou, confronts the battered Jolyne. Foo Fighters comes to the rescue and fights Kenzou and his neutral Stand Dragon's Dream, and Anasui deals the final blow, killing him. During the fight, the bone caused plants to fuse out of all the normal inmates and created The Green Baby. After deciding to try to escape from prison, Jolyne and Anasui meet a fourth Stand, Yo-Yo Ma, which swallows the baby, thus forcing them to take him along while F.F. stays in order to kill the Stand user. While Jolyne and Anasui struggle to hide from the guards, Yo-Yo Ma kills them slowly, spitting painless flesh-melting acid. Meanwhile, F.F. confronts Enrico Pucci directly.

Birth of the Green Baby

Yo-Yo Ma is neutralized when Anasui fuses the Stand's brain with that of a frog, and F.F. manages to kill Yo-Yo Ma's user. Now, Jolyne and Anasui face the hatched Green Baby, and although the Green Baby has the power to shrink anyone who approaches it, Jolyne befriends it. Meanwhile, F.F. manages to join Jolyne and Anasui alongside Weather Report, but Whitesnake, disguised as Weather Report, suddenly attacks F.F. and Anasui, bringing them down.

A fight ensues, but Enrico Pucci throws Jotaro's memory disc into the dying Anasui, threatening to destroy it. Jolyne has no choice but to abandon the fight, and Pucci takes the baby. F.F. sacrifices themself to save Anasui.

Escaping Prison

While Enrico Pucci departs from the prison, Jolyne confronts Miuccia Miuller, the chief warden from Green Dolphin Street Prison. Although Miu Miu's Jail House Lock stops Jolyne from acquiring more than three memories, Emporio and Jolyne manage to work together and coerce Miu Miu into letting the group escape.

On the Run

Emporio, Jolyne and Ermes escape from prison and pursue Enrico Pucci across Florida toward the coordinates North Latitude 28°24', West Longitude 80°36', the location of the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral.

Jolyne goes first to her ex-boyfriend Romeo, who gives her a helicopter out of repentance for his actions. Using Kiss, Jolyne and Hermes cut Romeo's tongue to prevent him from giving the police information as to their location. However, the trio soon crashes when they are attacked by Rikiel, one of DIO's sons. Rikiel, using the Stand Sky High, is defeated after a tough battle. Rikiel reveals that Weather Report is Pucci's brother.

Under World & Heavy Weather

Jolyne, Ermes and Emporio soon reach the hospital in which Pucci is hiding. However, Donatello Versus, the third of DIO's sons, intervenes with his Stand Under World. Able to summons memories from the ground, he imprisons Jolyne and Ermes in a plane crash. Jolyne and Ermes manage to escape and defeat Donatello. However, Donatello manages to steal from Pucci Weather Report's memory disc, and returns it to Weather Report.

As Weather regains his memories, the streets are invaded by millions of snails and people transform into snails themselves as Heavy Weather begins to manifest itself. Although they are 'infected', Jolyne and Ermes escape from the hospital and force Donatello to drive for them. Jolyne interrupts a battle between Weather and Pucci, but Weather dies while Pucci escapes.

Cape Canaveral

Jolyne and her companions drive to Cape Canaveral to stop Pucci from 'attaining heaven.' Suddenly, the gravity they experience shifts horizontally, and Ermes is separated from the group by falling debris. In the main courtyard of Cape Canaveral, Jolyne fights Pucci's new Stand C-Moon. Although C-Moon's strikes are dangerous due to their property of turning inside out whatever they touch, Jolyne gains the upper hand until Pucci intervenes and guides C-Moon to hit her in the chest, turning her heart inside out. Jolyne appears to die, to her companions' dismay.

However, as Jotaro approaches, Jolyne is revealed to have survived by using her Stand to change parts of her body into Möbius strips, which cannot be turned inside out. Jotaro arrives with Ermes's help, and uses his Stand to stop time. Pucci is wounded and surrounded, but the protagonists accidentally shoot him high into the air, unlocking his ultimate power sooner than expected. A bright light envelops everyone, and they are knocked out.

Made in Heaven

Jolyne in the fight with Enrico Pucci.

Jolyne and her companions wake up and soon find out that time is accelerating, with living beings, save for Pucci, remaining unaffected. Pucci and his Stand Made in Heaven prove unable to properly counter in the open, due to his near-infinite 'speed,' and the group tries to reach the sea so the water will make Pucci's location more obvious. However, Jotaro, during a critical time stop, loses time trying to save Jolyne from knives Pucci throws at her. As a result, Jotaro fails to kill Pucci. Pucci kills Jotaro, Anasui and Ermes while Jolyne is critically wounded and Emporio is the only one still standing. As Pucci approaches Emporio, Jolyne cuts one of Pucci's eyes, making a last stand to let Emporio escape.

However, Jolyne is effortlessly torn to pieces by Pucci's attack, resulting in her death. Overhead, a group of butterflies resembling the butterfly wings depicted on Jolyne's tattoo fly toward the setting sun.

Later, after Emporio defeats Pucci and resets the universe once more, a young woman named Irene is introduced with her apparent boyfriend, Annakiss. When they meet Emporio, Irene mentions they're going to meet Irene's father. Irene is implied to be Jolyne's counterpart (and Annakiss, Anasui's) in the new universe without Pucci, although she retains Jolyne's soul.
