‘Jo
…..My notes about Jo……
Called ‘jo by everyone. Akujo was the name assigned to her in her release papers. Her vindictive ex-lover was the head of a house. In the house language, aku means evil;jo means woman. Gen’s statement about this is: “He gave her that name. She has to keep it and use it but I don’t. Call her ‘Jo.” Akujo no longer has access to the rejuvenation drugs she took when she was in the house. She is slowly aging. Looks to be in her older 20s-30s. Her looks vary depending upon exhaustion or cycle. Very unusual -For a woman of her age(over a century), she still is fertile and her pms dreams are prophetic. She is a short woman-bout 5’4. Her hair is worn short to shoulders- varies in style of page boy to bob. She dyes her hair with browns to hide gray. More cautious in body movements than Gen. Think of someone hiding in background. Wears subdued clothes in color and shape. Nothing form-fitting. Except for a battle suit that is worn under her dresses. Think chameleon-invisible person. Think of an injured predator forced to hide while it heals. She is building up her power while she breaks down the limiters on her soul- Gen realizes slowly that she is a mage who could destroy the city he hates and loves.
