[edit] Description

Formerly an United States Army Ranger (despite the fact that women are not allowed in the special operations regiment nor to attend Ranger School), Jo now works as Eureka's town deputy. She has a love of weapons, and has a varied and powerful collection stored in the station, including several handguns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles. She is also unnaturally strong for her size as she can manhandle Jack Carter with ease. The residents of the town and their odd experiments try her patience, but those few moments where she gets to shoot something seem to make it worth it. The residents themselves know and trust Jo, despite her blustering. Her personal life, however, leaves something to be desired. When she is not caring for her weapons, Jo can often be seen scanning ads in magazines like Modern Mercenary for possible suitors.

[edit] Personal relationships

Jo is single, though she has made no comment about the fact. Despite initial antagonism, she is friendly with Zoe Carter, daughter of former marshal and current sheriff Jack Carter. She resents Carter for being assigned to the sheriff's post over her head.

It appears she had a romantic relationship with Callister Raynes, who was in fact a robot created by Stark. ("Right as Raynes").

Jo also appears to be quite fond of Jim Taggart, Eureka’s "biological containment specialist" ("Primal").

[edit] Trivia

Jo is 5'7".(H.O.U.S.E. Rules)

Jo performed in plays as a child. Her mother made her costumes.

Jo always has a weapon with her, and goes armed even in situations where weaponry is unnecessary. She also travels almost everywhere in body armor.

In the episode "Alienated", when the victims of the mind-altering signal are being shown individually taylored "calming" images to help them recover, Jo's screen shows the Marines landing at Iwo Jima.
