Jo Jade



Jo Jade is a minor character who appears in Quiet After the Hurricane, though she is referenced in a few other stories. Jo is a detective at the local precinct, though this is just a cover for being an alias of the Oracle of the Law.

Appearance
Jo wears a brown and black jacket over a green t-shirt. She wears bronze glasses and scale clip on earrings. Jo has jeans and dark green boots. Her hair is long, black, and green and she has green eyes.

Personality
Jo is a somewhat goofy character, becoming extremely squeamish when under the pressure of Niamh Tenniswood's super glare. She is of a friendly nature and gets along with most. But even with all of this, she can still be rather demanding, as is displayed when she interrogated Bal Gam in Web of Mistrust. Overall, Jo is bubbly and talkative.

Before the Story
Just like all aliases, Jo shares a past with her true form. She didn't exist until two years prior to the events of Quiet After the Hurricane, though after Future Assassin's Blade. Jo was created along with the other slew of aliases after the GC-9 Incident's conclusion arrived.

Quiet After the Hurricane
Jo's first and only appearance in Quiet After the Hurricane was in Turnabout Breakdown. She arrived at the scene to assist Tenniswood and Lucas Red's investigation. She provided them with information on the case, though Tenniswood was still highly suspicious of Jo's sudden appearance. Jo left the pair to investigate in the agency, where she chatted with Cotoli. The next day, Jo was talking with Abbie Mills when Tenniswood asked about the prosecution. Jo said it was Polly Bloom before being called into court. She testified about the case and then disappeared for the rest of the book (though she did get a mention in the prior case).

Secrets Beneath Secrets
Jo was mentioned in the second case by the real killer, and Chrysalis was accused of being the same person as Jo, causing her to bolt from the courtroom, as such accusation was true.

Web of Mistrust
Jo got a brief cameo in Turnabout Mansion, where she interrogated Bal Gam regarding Timothy Gam. She was heard yelling at him from a nearby interrogation room.

Quotes
-"You're the lawyers, I assume?" (first appearance)

-"Yeah, but for one reason. I suggested it to Detective Mills because I know she's innocent. The killer escaped as far as I can tell, and if we arrested her, the Morix crew would get involved. I had a feeling that you guys could handle it with your case this morning."

-"What's his middle name?!" (interrogating Bal Gam)

-"That's for me to know and not you! Tell me!!"

Trivia
-Jo is the only alias to appear or get a mention in three or more books.

-Jo was among the first aliases created for the book.

-This is one of the few aliases confirmed for an appearance in a Golden Future of Law series book, the others being Rosalie Libra and Amy Kalles, though others may follow.

-Jo's first appearance in Turnabout Breakdown made it evident that Chrysalis carries her Magatama throughout all of her aliases, despite how it could possibly incriminate her.
