[indent]For better or worse, [url=https://i.imgur.com/rexOOhq.jpg]Jojo[/url] sticks out like a sore thumb due to a mixture of her "crazy ass genetics" and her own doing. Probably the first thing that people notice about Jojo is her height, she's just [i]tall[/i] standing at six-foot even and very lanky and well-built. The girl hits the gym a lot because she has lots of muscle definition around her arms and legs and great abs. This is all because of a long life of athletism and working hard for the results she wants ([s]oh yeah and genetics. Never forget the genetics[/s]). Not very curvy though, she's flat on both ends - she got a little butt due to squats but that's about it. This gives her a somewhat masculine aura that she hates but she knows she's at the stage of her life where she can't do anything about it. What doesn't help is her square jaw and sharp facial features (also gotten from her mother).

Next is her dreads.... she has a lot of hair due to those genetics and she has it twisted into dreadlocks that she dyes a forest green. She usually lets them hang but she ties it into a bun if she fights. Now Jojo is African-American with roots in West Africa and the Caribbean - her mother being half-Bermudian. She has brownish skin but wishes that she was a bit darker but the rest of her facial features are consistent with African-Americans and whatnot. Due to a lifetime of being a wild child, she has a bunch of different scars from getting hurt as a kid, some fights, and burning herself cooking. 

In terms of attire, Jojo isn't exactly the flashiest dresser.... sure, she'll put on a dress on the right occasion but those instances are few and in between. She dresses for comfort 75% of the time and what's comfortable for her is gym clothes. Tight clothing such as bike shorts (that go a very short range), leggings, tank tops, athletic tees, sports bras, and so forth. It's to the point wonder if she lives in the gym! Jojo doesn't like jeans so you'd be lucky to see her in some but she does wear the occasional skirt (with bike shorts underneath). Now dressing to show out isn't her forte but expect her to whip out the big-name sports names like Nike, Adidas, and Kappa and even wear a [i]dress[/i] if you got her in a good enough mood! 

Oh yeah, and she loves to dress green.

[indent]A very chill and laid-back person, Jojo doesn't get super worked up over the little things anymore and focuses solely on the bigger picture. That bigger picture is her legacy... will she be able to reach fame or will she just be another footstep for someone else. A hard worker by nature; Jojo finds herself more at home working towards one of her many goals or just at the gym. However, she's very personable by nature and finds herself making friends [i]very[/i] easily - though sometimes people get intimidated by her appearance and steer clear of the woman. Jojo is a very bubbly person and talks very fast with a hint of an accent which sometimes makes it hard to understand what she's saying. Though, sometimes she doesn't fully think about what she says before she says it and things start to get complicated. Either way, it's very hard to get Jojo angry unless you [i]really[/i] try to. Due to her upbringing as a vagrant (as she calls herself) she learns not to get too attached to people - even as an adult she's still learning how to open up and let people in.[/indent]

[indent]Jojo was the daughter of her mother Nakala Phillips - a legendary drill sergeant in the US Army - and her father Carl Jackson - the two had a complicated relationship so they were never together but Jackson remained a part of his daughter's life. Jojo was born in the Ramstein Air Base in Germany and her early life was one of traveling from place to place. On one hand, Jojo got to say that she lived in places like Hawaii, Texas, upstate New York, and Florida, and stayed in South Carolina for most of her mother's Drill Sergeant bid... on the other, she felt like an outsider in people's lives and learned not to make attachments. Nakala wanted a better life for Jojo than she had so she did all she could in the Army to make sure that the girl was happy - but also applying her version of tough love on the girl. She didn't want Jojo to grow up spoiled and lazy so Nakala made sure that Jojo was very... active, shall we say. Nakala taught her all the skills that she knew Jojo could apply in life such as cooking, and cleaning, and even taught her how to do her taxes! She made sure that Jojo wasn't on her ass on her phone or watching TV... she made sure the girl went out and played sports and volunteered on the weekends when she wasn't with her friends. The reason was a bit more than just not wanting a lazy daughter... she just wanted some free time now and then!

Now and then when Nakala was sent off to deployment or her father wanted her; she scrambled the money to send Jojo to Chicago. Her father was a boxing coach that trained Nakala... and Jojo got the bits and pieces of the relationship that her mother didn't talk about. However, Carl helped Jojo find a new passion and something that'd keep her busy than working in an animal shelter or picking the trash out of the river. Whenever Jojo was sent to her father, Carl, he trained her to be the best fighter she could be, and eventually, when she went home she started looking for boxing gyms. They were a bit expensive but her mother was happy that her daughter had found something to temporarily get her out of her hair on the weekday. Eventually, Nakala retired from the Army and settled down in Chicago. 

That was when Jojo graduated high school and decided that college wasn't for her... she hit the gym pretty much every day she wasn't sick and worked her ass off getting in shape or she was training. She picked up a few jobs to cover her costs but that wasn't her goal... her goal was the Women's International Boxing Association - and through years of fighting underground, she eventually made it into the league in the Welterweight class fighting for America. It was a brutal and chaotic era of Jojo's life as she had to work her ass off to continue to compete as there were people with [i]years[/i] of experience over her. It was an era of wins and losses, and asking herself "What the fuck is going on?" so many times. 

Naturally, despite all of her hard work she hardly got the attention that her male peers got - she hated it but she understood life. Eventually, she managed to get to the Welterweight championships - and not just that, but the grand finals! It was her against Mother Russia as she was close to gaining the title that she felt she deserved after years upon years of hard work...

.... and she lost.

Russia took home the world championship as so many people that were rooting for her tried to comfort her but Jojo knew they were disappointed in her. However, the only person that scolded her was her mother... Nakala told her the only reason why she lost was because Jojo was so single-mindedly obsessed with the championship and nothing else. That Jojo needed to slow down and enjoy her twenties like Nakala herself did - balancing her job in the Army with still being a teenager! Go on vacation, go explore, go do [i]something[/i] because all work and just work would drive Jojo crazy. 

Carabo was a place Nakala liked as a youth, so Jojo just packed her things and went on what would [i]hopefully[/i] be an amazing vacation without anything bad happening. Right?

[i]Right?[/i][/indent]
