Long- hair Jo sketch. It's her 'I'm fake dead and kind of depressed' era hair

Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Then somebody bends Unexpectedly

Just a little change Small to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared

I haven't drawn Jo in far too long so here she is after you woke her up from the first decent sleep she's taken in a week 😂

Join her in meditation, or antagonize her into a match? The choice is yours

Fighting style thoughts under here 👀

Jo recognizes that the amount of injuries she sustains in battle is a weakness, a deficit in her fighting style. She takes hits to end battles faster, to minimize casualties except for herself. She takes hits meant for others, but because she doesn't focus on defense the hits get to her actual body and not her weapons.

She's made up for this lack of defense by training her endurance to ridiculous heights, she can take punishment like no one's business and shake it off seemingly like nothing. But she also trains to overcome that instinctual part of herself to make sacrifices to pain- it's always counterintuitive and never sticks. She takes the most physical punishment out of most of the people she's fought alongside and she knows it's not sustainable- just because she can swallow the pain doesn't mean it's not exhausting.

And Jo's closest fighting counterparts highlight those weaknesses even more:

Her greatest swordsmanship "rival", Roshon, is a considerably better warrior in this aspect. Roshon is also a highly offensive fighter but her style incorporates graceful dodges and utilizes her large blade as much as a shield as a weapon. Roshon is just as protective as Jo in a fight, but she knows how to protect herself along with those she fights with or for.

And her sister is a defensive fighter- a unique combination of shield and pugilist fighting, Rae nearly has the endurance of Jo with the defensive skill that makes her more formidable. Sure, Rae's fights often drag out far longer, but there is a reason most of Rae's scars are either self-inflicted or were from incidents that she had tried to avoid fighting back. And while she'll never admit this, she's trained in part to fight alongside Jo and maybe, maybe, make up for Jo's weaknesses.

🎀 Who would my muse sleep with if nobody ever had to know? (for Nanouk)

-Sex and Romance Headacanons (still open!)-

Nanouk doesn't really care who knows what about her sex life. She's aromantic and won't catch feelings anyway, and to her sex is a utility or a hobby like any of her other interests. She thinks that the fanfare surrounding the topic is incredibly overblown anyway, and tends to turn down people that she thinks will be too complicated.
