About:
(tw: religious trauma, power dynamic)
Born and raised in the countryside of Indiana, Joanna “Jo” Davis lived in a comfortable dwelling as a single child to her faithful and righteous parents. Her mother was a dedicated homemaker and her father was a preacher. Jo was their little angel, always quiet, well behaved, and practically obedient.
They were a perfect family among their community. They dedicated most of their time to the church. Mrs. Davis taught Sunday School, Jo attended every class and sermon, and Mr. Davis was the backbone that held them all together. They lived their life through every word of the bible.
As Jo grew older, so did her guilt and fears of sin. Every little thing she did felt unholy in the eyes of her Lord and that frightened her. She was a beautiful young woman and caught the eyes of many boys, yet somehow that was always her own fault. When she was sixteen, she felt herself falling for the youth group leader. He was twenty years old and talked about the lord and life like it was all such a beautiful gift. He made her fears smaller, and it was clear that he took an interest in her, as well.
It didn’t feel completely wrong at the time. Then again, at sixteen, he was the last thing to feel wrong. Her desires, however, were another story. She prayed every night for her feelings to go away for him, but they persisted. God didn’t listen. The two started having a secret relationship, though Jo wanted it to be public. He was the leader of the youth group - why wouldn’t her parents love him? Age didn’t mean a thing to her then. She was too naive to realize the power he held over her.

Life was aimless for many years, and in many ways it still was. She surfed couches, spent time in shelters, tried about every drug known to man, worked at one too many jobs before getting fired. Her faith had slipped her entirely and her parents didn’t even seem to look for her.
Settling in Sapphire Cove, Jo took up a job as a maid for an inn there. It had a steady income and the town suited her well. It reminded her nothing of home, and that’s exactly why she loved it.
Jo continues running away from her past and dealing with that religious guilt that eats away at her soul. ███ ███████ █ In the past few years, she gained contact with her own mother and have attempted slowly to rebuild some sort of relationship. It always ends up hurting her, though.
She had somehow grown into the antithesis of who she used to be. Bitter, full of bad choices, resentful, and always aching to be touched.
