Cause it’s not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won’t go

Best Memory[/color]: The time that she worked on that case with Sam and Dean many years back. Sure, she was taken be the pirit, but it led to her finally leaving and doing the thing that she loved the most. Hunting.
Worst Memory[/color]: The worst memory would be easy, of course. The night that she and her mother died. It had been the worst moment in her rather short life. They were gonna try and kill the devil. But something went terribly wrong. The group had ran into Meg, who set a pack of hellhounds on them. One of them was about to get Dean. And even though he kept telling Jo to stay back, she didn't and was shooting at it. But then another got her, clawing her stomach. Dean picked her up and the group hurried into a nearby abandoned building. Jo had come up with a plan. She knew that she was not going to be able to go anywhere, so she decided that they should make a bomb and let the hellhounds in. At least give the boys a few minutes head start. Ellen would not leave her daughter behind. Besides, someone had to open those doors, right? Jo remembered dying in her mother's arms.

Overall Personality/Appearance[/color]:
Jo was 5'4" and slim. She had brown eyes and long wavy blonde hair which appeared to have darkened slightly later on in her life. Jo usually wore jeans combined with short-sleeved or sleeveless tops. She later on had started wearing a light green jacket while hunting.

Though she doesn't look like much, Jo is not the type of girl you want to mess with. She's spent the majority of her life around hunters, and in a bar, so if that doesn't tell you something, well, you'll quickly learn. Ever since she was little Jo has been more likely to punch a guy in the face than actually sit down and have a decent conversation. That's not to say she's incapable of conversation. In fact, she likes talking.

She just tends to ask first and ask questions later, believing that being on the other side of that will only get you hurt. She can throw one hell of a punch, too, and just so you know, she's pretty good both with a bow and arrow and with a gun.Jo is determined, that's one thing anyone can tell you about her within seconds of meeting her. Ever since she was little she's know what she wants to do with her life, and that's one thing and one thing only: hunt. Her father and mother were both hunters, though her mother mostly managed The Road House. Since she can remember she's been asking every patron of the bar that she can what they know, asking them to tell her about their cases, and in some instances, teach her how to hunt.

Since then, she's read every book she can on the subject and though she's very experienced in the book-work, she lacks the experience in the field. That's not so say she hasn't been in the field, because she has, but field work and book work are two drastically different things. Her determined nature often comes out in a reckless nature. She's the first to jump into the fire head first if she thinks it's going to help. She's also one of those act first, think later type of people. It's gotten her into trouble before, but nothing she can't handle. At least, if you ask her.Jo will be the first to tell you that her mother is quite overbearing at times.

She recognizes that Ellen loves her, but she just has a funny way of showing it. She likes to try to keep her tied down, when Jo wants nothing more than to go out on the road and help. She can handle herself, as she will tell her mother repeatedly. She's 24, after all and has lived in a bar her entire life. The "Bad Men" in the world don't have anything on her, and demons best beware. This independent streak of hers tends to manifest itself in different ways, from directly disobeying her mother's wishes to even running away to achieve her dreams. Jo's just confident that no matter what she does, her mother will always love her. And she'll always love her mother.Beware however, as nice as Jo can, because she really is a nice girl-- you have to be nice if you work as a bartender/waitress-- is she's quick to anger. Piss her off, and you'll find yourself on the wrong end of her fist, shotgun, or even some nasty words pointed in your direction.

She doesn't care who you are, if you piss her off, you're going to regret it, the sooner, the better.There's another thing you should know about Jo: Don't underestimate her. She's been underestimated her entire life, and just because she's small doesn't mean she won't kick your ass. Or, attempt to. She still has quite a lot to learn, and she's anxious to learn it. Even if she thinks she knows everything from time to time. But Jo wants everyone to know she's capable if they just give her something to work with. She's a tough girl, and has spent the majority of her life trying to play with the big boys. Now that she's fully grown, she won't let anything stop her

Overall History[/color]:
Jo was born to Bill and Ellen Harvelle on April 7, 1985 as the couple's only child. Because she lived at the Roadhouse, Jo grew up around hunters, including John Winchester and Bobby Singer, whom she and her parents regarded as family. She called the hunters she knew "uncle", such as Uncle Caleb and Uncle Shawn. On Jo's eighth birthday, Bill gave her a bow-and-arrow set and taught her how to use it, while Ellen gave her a diary to write in, which she later turned into a hunter's journal. On May 16, 1995, Jo learned that her father had died on a hunt. She was devastated by his death. She also began wanting to become a hunter herself, to feel close to her father and be a "hero" like her father and save people. However, Ellen's protectiveness prevented her from fulfilling her dream. After Jo got into a fight with a bully who was bothering her at school, Shawn started training her in hand-to-hand combat. Jo met Gordon Walker when she was twelve years old. They became friends, though she had a crush on him. When she was 16, he manipulated her into accompanying him on a hunt and unwittingly acting as bait for a rawhead. She became frightened and fled, running right into her mother, who had figured out what they were doing and tracked them down. Furious, Ellen forbade them from meeting again but her daughter secretly kept in contact with him online. Jo also befriended Ash, who started living at the Roadhouse.

Jo tried to attend college per her mother's wishes. However, Jo felt she never fit in and dropped out, returning to the Roadhouse. When Jo was nineteen years old, she dated a hunter named Rick. He stopped contacting her in the middle of a hunt, which worried her; whether he was killed or merely wanted to end their relationship was not revealed. Jo first met Sam and Dean Winchester in "Everybody Loves a Clown". Thinking they were intruders, she held Dean at gunpoint while Ellen apprehended Sam; Dean disarmed Jo, but she punched him in the face and took her gun back. Despite this rocky start, they became friends when Ellen realized they were John's sons and the Winchester brothers paid irregular visits to the Roadhouse. Eager to go on her first hunt, Jo complied research on a case in which six young blonde women vanished from the same apartment building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for over eighty years. To prepare for the trip, she earned money from bets. Ellen refused to let Jo go out of fear that she would be killed, and instead passed the case onto Sam and Dean. Jo, however, enlisted Ash's help in creating a paper trail to convince her mother that she was going to Las Vegas, Nevada while she actually went to Philadelphia to investigate on her own. In the guise of a potential buyer, Jo encountered Sam and Dean at the apartment and later convinced them to let her join them on the case. When the group found no reports of a violent death that could explain a spirit's presence, they split up to search for EMF, with Dean accompanying Jo to watch over her and urging her to pursue a normal life rather than that of a hunter's. She felt the spirit try to grab her and they found EMF and a bloody clump of hair from one of its victims within a wall vent. Jo did not sleep that night as she was too busy reviewing information about the case. The next morning, she bonded with Dean; his attempt to give her one of his knives to replace the one she was carrying (which had belonged to Bill) led to them talking about their fathers and her revealing her reason for hunting to him. She, Dean, and Sam learned that Teresa Ellis, another blonde woman, had gone missing the night before. Jo realized that criminals from a prison that was later destroyed had been executed on the grounds that the apartment building was built over. With Ash's help, Sam identified the ghost as America's first serial killer, Henry H Holmes, whose remains had been buried and encased in concrete. The group split up again to try to locate Teresa inside the building's walls. While separated from Dean, Jo was abducted by Holmes and imprisoned in a torture chamber in an abandoned sewer system beneath the apartment's foundation. Holmes grabbed Jo by the hair and ripped off part of her hair. She attempted to break out of the chamber and slashed Holmes' hand with her father's knife when he groped her. Sam and Dean arrived and rescued Teresa. Jo agreed to be used as bait to lure Holmes out as their only viable plan. When he manifested to attack her, she escaped, and the brothers trapped him within a ring of salt and sealed him into the chamber using cement. Having learned that her daughter went against her wishes to hunt in Philadelphia from Ash, a very angry Ellen took Jo back to the Roadhouse. When Jo tried to defuse her mother's temper, she realized that there was something Ellen wasn't telling her and she learned that John had been Bill's partner for his last hunt: John caused his death when he exposed them to the creature they were hunting. Hurt and upset, Jo confronted Dean and Sam with this knowledge, blaming John, and by proxy, them, for her father's death.

Jo left home weeks before "Hunted" in order to become a hunter when Ellen continued to refuse to allow her to do it. She still kept in touch with her mother by sending her postcards. In "Born Under a Bad Sign", the demon Meg, while possessing Sam, tracked Jo down to the Sandpiper, a bar that she worked at in Duluth, Minnesota. She did not initially realize Sam was possessed and was uncomfortable about his presence from their last encounter and because of the strange shift in his personality: he mocked her about her crush on Dean and tried to seduce her. He overpowered her and knocked her out when she rejected him. Jo woke up tied to a post. Meg forced her to recount Bill's death, but claimed that what Ellen told her was not the truth: what really happened, Meg taunted, was that Bill survived with horrific injuries and John shot him dead to end his suffering. Dean traced Meg's location via his cell phone. However, he refused to kill his brother to protect Jo and instead revealed that Sam was possessed. When Meg fled, Dean untied a shocked Jo and went after him. Jo saved Dean's life by bandaging his wound after Meg shot him and left him to drown, having found him using his cell phone ringtone. Remembering what Meg had said, she asked Dean if demons occasionally told the truth as well as lies but did not reveal what she'd been told. She wanted to help him pursue Meg, but he refused.

Jo had already left the Roadhouse months before demons burned it down, killing everyone inside, including Ash and many hunters. Ellen survived on simple good luck, having been out buying pretzels at the time. At some point, Jo and Ellen reunited and became hunting partners.

After Lucifer's release from Hell, the Harvelles went to River Pass, Colorado to help Rufus Turner fend off an apparent demonic siege, but got separated in the chaos, with Jo joining up with Rufus and some other townspeople. Jo and Rufus fought Ellen and Sam, both sides perceiving the other as being possessed by demons due to the presence of War, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Jo and Rufus captured Sam to exorcise him but were confused when all of their anti-demonic measures failed to work on him. War, disguised as one of the townspeople on Jo and Rufus' side, made it appear as though Sam had attacked him and said more demons were coming. When Rufus set pipe-bombs to slow down the "demons", Jo worried about her mother's safety, but he reassured her that he would help her save Ellen from her "possession". After a brief struggle, Ellen and Rufus managed to convince Jo and Rufus that all of the supposed possessions were hallucinations created by War to pit them against each other. Jo helped to prevent the townspeople from slaughtering each other until War's spell ended. The Harvelles joined Sam, Dean, and Castiel in their mission to kill Lucifer. Jo helped Sam and Dean break into Crowley's home and retrieve the Colt in order to slay the Devil. That night, the group of hunters spent the night at Bobby's house. Jo drank a beer and watched on in amusement as Ellen challenged Castiel to shots and lost. When Dean tried to seduce Jo, she turned him down with a laugh. She then joined the group photo and became unsettled by Castiel's grim prediction that they would likely die the next day.

At Carthage, Missouri, the Harvelles, the Winchesters, and Castiel split into two groups, with Jo looking for survivors in the abandoned town with Ellen and Castiel, who left to investigate after detecting a large gathering of reapers and instead got captured by Lucifer. Jo and Ellen confirmed that all the buildings in town were empty before re-joining Sam and Dean. Meg arrived to capture the Winchesters and set a pack of hellhounds upon the group of hunters. Jo saved Dean's life from a hellhound when she saw him knocked to the ground, but it cost her hers; she was injured to the point that she could not walk and bleeding heavily. Dean carried Jo into a nearby convenience store while Sam and Ellen fended off the hellhounds. They salted the entrances to the store and bandaged Jo's wounds as best they could, but she interrupted when they tried to figure out how to save her and pointed out the reality of the situation: she was dying. In desperation, she suggested that they construct bombs out of iron and salt and escape, leaving her alone to detonate the bombs and kill the hellhounds. The other hunters reluctantly assembled the bombs and gave Jo the trigger. Although the brothers left the building via fire escape, Ellen planned to stay behind and die with her, saying that someone needed to let the dogs in and that she would not let Jo die alone. Jo was distraught by the idea of her mother dying as well, but tearfully accepted her decision. Tragically, Jo died in her mother's arms before she could activate the explosions, not even able to finish saying, "I love you," back to Ellen, who blew up the store, killing both herself and the dogs.
