[color=688E23][b]Appearance:[/b][/color]
[i][indent]Jo stands only a few inches above five feet, holding a petite and faintly curved figure. Her hair and eyes are a deep hue of brown, nearing an almost black color. Her skin is a soft olive tone, if not for the few freckles about her she would be without blemish. She holds a rather unintimidating presence about her; often displaying a faint, unassuming smile.

Whenever her heart begins to race, for whatever reason, faint sparks of green light flash through her just under the surface of her skin. Most prominently around her abdomen, neck, and back and diminishing towards her fingers and toes. When she is in 'fight mode' and using her powers the sparks of green become solid lines, appearing like green glowing veins beneath the skin. Her eyes becoming completely covered by a bright green glow that completely hides the brown, glowing bright enough that even when her eyes are closed the glow is easily visible in a dark room.[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
[i][indent]Jo would most commonly be described as a free-spirit. Unencumbered by the woes of the world. Though in truth this is far from the truth. She feels the pains of the green, though not nearly as distinctly as her new father. The feels the pang of distress the Earth cries out. Though she does her best to bury it down and enjoy life, like any twenty-something year old would do. Formerly trying to dull her senses with recreational drugs and alcohol, though it had short lived effects; The Green quickly dispelling the chemicals and purifying her body of it. Recently putting in ear buds and cranking her music up to eleven and dancing about in an attempt to overload her senses with that.

Beyond that Jo is often over eager to be of help. This could be due to her need to constantly keep herself busy and distracted. But none the less she is quite selfless, offering her assistance at the drop of a hat. She genuinely and deeply cares for those around her and her actions clearly show that, listening intently to the most mundane of stories too giving away her jacket to someone who seems cold to the detriment of herself.[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Background:[/b][/color]
[i][indent](~~BRIEF~~)
Joanne was born a normal girl to two normal parents, Tanya and Colin Kings. She lived a rather unspectacular life, making no foot print on the world. Going to school, doing extra-curriculars, and generally staying in the background. She had a few friends through her years, and maybe a few relationships. She lived a normal teen girls life in a world of super heroes and villains. 

At the end of her Junior year her family needed to move to Louisiana for her fathers work. At the start of her senior year, because of her appearance, the kids of the school just assumed she was a "popular" type. Not having ever received that moniker she reveled in the opportunity. She began to take on the role, swallowing her tendency to dote over everyone motheringly and geeking out over the upcoming school play. She began to go to parties, going shopping with the other popular girls, etc. 

Soon the fourth of July party was upon her and she was invited to some big party hidden out in the swamps. She was nervous about attending, being out in the swamps late at night without parental supervision and having gone this long without actually drinking any alcohol. But she didn't want to ruin her popular girl image by not attending this big party where all the popular kids would be attending. So she swallowed her nerves and showed up.

It was all pretty standard despite the large crowd, having not only the kids from her school but a bunch of others from the other school in the area.

Everything was going according to her expectations until a wild card showed up. Call him a maniac, call him a villain in training. He came with his friends with a plan to make a name for himself. He and his friends without warning began shooting up the party, loud shrieks of terror ripped above the sound of the music and echoed out into the swamps. A stray bullet hit Jo in the stomach but adrenaline dulled the pain. She immediately broke out into a sprint with no destination. Only running away from the gun fire. She didn't know how far she ran by the sounds of the party and the gunfire eventually began to fade into a faint thumping before her vision began to blur and her sprint became a trudge through the thick swamp.

She quickly began to get more and more tired until she collapsed into the swamp, not even having the energy to roll over on her back. It wasn't long before she lost full consciousness.

She didn't know how long she was asleep for but a sudden and violent shock scourged through her veins. Instantly regaining consciousness and gasping for air as she frantically looked around. Above her loomed a hideous green creature. She quickly pushed herself as far away from it until her back hit a tree trunk. 

Long story short Swamp Thing found Jo, her blood seeping into the swamp alerting his attention. Upon arriving he found Jo, unconscious and knocking on deaths door. For reasons never explained to Jo he decided to save her. Sacrificing a piece of himself and giving it to Jo to save her; imbuing her with the Green. Eventually the shot wore off and she began to piece together clues to what happened. It wasn't a horrible dream. She died in the swamp, and something else was reborn in her skin. At the beginning the piece of Swamp Thing warped her appearance, green spots about her and vines protruding through her skin, though it wasn't painful for some reason.

Because of the disfigurement she decided to stay in the swamps, trailing silently along with Swamp Thing as she had little other choice. She couldn't go back to her parents. Thinking it better they think she died out in the swamps from the psycho than see the disfigured monstrosity she had became. Slowly after months bled into years her biology slowly incorporated the piece of Swamp Thing that sustained her existence. The vines began to submerge beneath her skin and the skin healing over, the green patches fading leaving only her olive colored skin. She was exactly as she remembered; only now blood no longer pumped through her but instead now a green energy. She couldn't return to her old life. Her parents had mourned her death years prior. Joanne Melodia Kings was gone, only Dryad remained.[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Parental Heritage:[/b][/color]
[i][indent]Tanya and Colin Kings (Former) // Swamp Thing (Current).[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Hero or Villain:[/b][/color]
[i][indent]Hero.[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Abilities:[/b][/color]
[i][indent][b]Floramancy[/b]- Like Swamp Thing she has the ability to control and manipulate vegetation to varying degrees.
[b]Regeneration[/b]- The Green flowing through her she is able to regenerate from wounds at an accelerated rate.
[b]Super Strength/Durability/Stamina[/b]- The power of the Green boosts her physical capabilities. Not nearly as much as Superman but far superior to the average human.
[b]Toxin/Poison Immunity[/b]- Her body naturally purges any foreign chemical in her body.
[b]Heightened Senses[/b]- Jo is able to feel the world around her at a heightened degree. Though it is diminished when in areas of low vegetation.
[b]Floral Production[/b]- Jo can manifest vines and other vegetation from her body. This takes quite the toll on her so it frequently avoided. Most occasions used to create a weapon from her forearm and covering her hand(s).[/indent][/i]
[color=688E23][b]Limitations:[/b][/color]
[i][indent][b]Physical Form[/b]- Unlike Swamp Thing Jo has a physical body. She is unable to freely create her form out of vegetation. Also meaning that if her body and 'Core' are destroyed she dies permanently. Though if the core remains undamaged she can very slowly regenerate her physical form.
[b]Nature Affinity[/b]- The less vegetation in the area the less capable Jo becomes.[/indent][/i]
