Personality; Joanna Beth Harvelle was born on April 7th, 1985 to William and Ellen Harvelle. If it had been any other family, Jo most likely would have grown up to become some innocent, blonde-haired-blue-eyed beauty. Go off to college, get married, and live a happy, long life. But the Harvelle family was anything but normal, with her father a hunter and her mother running The Roadhouse, which served as a sort of 'base' for hunters, their family was anything but normal. The Roadhouse was a place where hunters could congregate, get a beer, talk the job. Jo loved the Roadhouse, loved hearing stories about jobs just like the ones her father worked. Jo was a happy child, bright-eyed and bouncing, courious and loving life, part of strange but happy family.

That was, until her father didn't come home after a job. Jo didn't learn the details of her father's last job until years later, but what she did know was that it was the things her dad hunted that killed him. The same things all the other hunters killed. Jo's life was much different after that - she started to notice just how much she didn't fit in at school, her mother wouldn't let her go much of anywhere except school and the roadhouse, and she wanted to know more. Jo spent the followings years working at the Roadhouse, helping her mom with drinks and tables and making conversation with all the types of hunters who made it through their doors. It got harder to hide her curiosity, but her mother refused to tell Jo anything, which left her to the stories and her own research. Even with Ellen's overprotective streak, it was only a matter of time before Jo was out in the field. Once she got her mind set on hunting, there was no turning back.

Jo is confident, smart, and quite capable. Due to her mother's reluctance to let her in on the hunter life, she learned to be quite sneaky with her research, but also thorough. She's put together her fair share of cases, and while she might not have been able to go on all of them, she's more than prepared each and every time. Growing up in the Roadhouse, surrounded by (more often than not drunk) men, Jo learned how to handle herself at a fairly young age. She's quite a hustler, a pretty believable flirt, great with a shotgun and more than great at poker, draining many a hunter dry with a simple hand of cards. And, of course, there's her stubborn attitude - if she sets her mind on anything, it's a good bet that she will get it done No matter what. It is this stubborness that has led Jo to a few of her own hunts, running off with many a hunter to tag along and get some experience, the Winchester boys being a good example of this. She might not be the bravest, but she is stubborn enough to make up for it, and will see anything she starts through to the end. After facing the consequences from her mother when she returned home (after a successful hunt, might she add), Jo ran off to hunt on her own. Hunting is the one way she feels closest to her dead father, and she's not giving that up. Never gave that up, even up to her death, when she followed the same Winchester boys into a fight against the Devil himself, and paid the price when a Hellhound got a hold of Dean and she dove right in for the rescue. When faced with the realization that she was a good as dead, Jo came up with the plan on how to rid all of them of the Hellounds, setting up a bomb and acting as bait. Jo refused to be worthless, a deadweight. Even in her death she wanted to be useful, to go out with a bang, literally. If she can save someone, anyone, then it would be worth it.

Jo’s life was always about saving people - herself, innocents, anything she could do to get out there and make a difference. Her mom always wanted to save her, but Jo needed to be out in the field. She was brought up a hunter, and would die a hunter, loyal to the job until her dying breath, even if it meant saving the world. And if she couldn’t do it, she had faith that Dean and Sam could do that much.
