## Personality

With her Javanese-like accent, Joko joins the ranks of the Poles with inexplicable foreign accents. She is quite posh, stuck up, and dismissive of the Petrovburger people that she deems unworthy of her time. She travels with an entourage of servile Poles who never speak and who cater to her every whim, doing things like carrying her around and vanishing the moment she tells them to leave. She often refers to herself as "I, Joko Sikumbang" and she is almost never seen without her sunglasses on, briefly removing them for the first time.

*Dengan aksen Jawa yang khas, Joko masuk dalam barisan rakyat Petrovburg dengan aksen asing yang tak bisa dijelaskan. Dia cukup mewah, angkuh, dan meremehkan para rakyat Petrovburg yang dia anggap tidak layak pada waktunya. Dia bepergian dengan rombongan rakyat Petrovburg yang tidak pernah berbicara dan yang melayani setiap keinginannya, melakukan hal-hal seperti menggendongnya dan menghilang saat dia menyuruh mereka pergi. Dia sering menyebut dirinya sebagai "Aku, Joko Sikumbang" dan dia hampir tidak pernah terlihat tanpa kacamata hitamnya, melepasnya sebentar untuk pertama kalinya.*
