Cover A by Noelle Stevenson

Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together...and they're not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way!

## Plot

The comic opens with April walking through the forest at night, searching for Bear Woman. Mal and Molly come by to join her, after finding nothing at the lake. Jo also joins the girls, telling them to quiet down as they’re on a secret mission.

Right after Jo joins, a group of foxes comes out of the woods and begins to attack the girls. They fight the foxes off, with the help of Ripley, who joined mid-fight.

The final fox that is defeated evaporates into the air, leaving a strange gold ring. The rest of the foxes howl a message into the air: “BEWARE THE KITTEN HOLY”. April writes this down in her journal.

The group makes their way back to the cabin, nearly sneaking back to bed before Jen turns on the lights and demands an explanation of why the girls were missing. They attempt to explain, but Jen shuts them down and tells them they’re going to see Rosie.

Jen brings her campers over to Rosie's cabin, and starts telling Rosie about the girls being out after bedtime. Rosie isn’t paying much attention to them until Jo mentions that they saw a bearwoman. Rosie tells Jen to get them some hot cocoa from the mess hall, despite the fact the mess hall is closed. Jen is forced out the door regardless.

Rosie asks the girls to describe the incident, which they do. Rosie tells them they’ll see some strange things this summer, but that they’re scouts and will be able to handle it. The comic ends with the five girls staring into the night sky, remarking about how odd everything that’s happening is.

Ripley Rodriguez-O'Shanassy

Ripley Rodriguez-O'Shanassy is one of the main characters of the Lumberjanes. She is the youngest and most energetic girl of the Roanoke Cabin (and her family). She loves animals, and is brave in a notably naïve way. She is known to love glitter and candy.

## **Appearance**

Ripley has short brown hair with dyed blue bangs, a tan complexion, and freckles. She is quite short. She is usually seen wearing an orange shirt over a longer-sleeved white one, red athletic shorts, knee socks, orange sneakers, and a blue flannel shirt tied around her waist. Most commonly she is seen smiling. When she first came to camp she had very long, straight brown hair, which was cut and dyed by April after she got gum stuck in it. She is of Afro-Mexican and Irish descent.

## **Personality**

Ripley is very energetic, to the point of being hyper. She is sweet, artistic, driven and eccentric. She loves animals, especially baby ones and traditionally cute ones. She is also sporty and loves the outdoors.

Ripley is the youngest and most energetic of the girls, liable to launch herself towards danger without any fear. Her famous move includes drop kicking things in the stomach, including foxes, yetis, statues, and even Mal. She loves animals, from kittens to dinosaurs, and sweet things such as cookies and candy. Despite often being the catalyst for trouble (forcing the others to follow her to rescue her from jumping into white water rapids, for example) she possesses keen insight into other people's feelings. Molly and Mal are often Ripley's unofficial guardians, and if not them, then Jen. She also tends to be a softball, thrown by Mal, generally. She also has a big family but gets along with her siblings quite well. She is shown to have a very close relationship with her Abuela.

Ripley is especially innocent when it comes to relationships, dangers and even life in general as she is still very young. She almost always runs after anything mysterious and glowing in the woods, like unicorns (especially unicorns).

Ripley is also known to give names to several (supernatural) creatures that the Roanoke cabin has encountered before like Bubbles (Molly's raccoon hat/pet), Mr. Sparkles (her unicorn toy), and several other unicorns.

Mal Yoo

**Mal Yoo** is one of the main characters of Lumberjanes. She is the most cautious member of the Roanoke Cabin, excluding the cabin leader, Jen. Mal has many fears, but despite this she very adept at constructing plans and strategies. Unfortunatly these plans are rarely (if ever) carried out to completion. Mal is lesbian, and is dating Molly.

## Appearance

Mal has jet black hair shaved on one side, tan skin, and is of average height. The number of earrings she wears varies from artist to artist, but she usually has two or three on each ear. She wears a gray denim vest with band patches, a red flannel, ripped jeans, bracelets, and white slip-on trainers. In the Denver comicon exclusive cover, issue 13, she is shown playing guitar.

## Personality

Mal is the definition of neutral-good. She takes her time to form opinions. Mal gets excited by good ideas and feeds off of Ripley's high energy into forming a well thought-out idea than jumping into action. She is the most innovative and creative, along with being the group's planner.

She plays the guitar and really enjoys music. She also plays roller derby.

Mal, despite her tougher appearance, is the most cautious and sensitive of the group. She specializes in crafting elaborate plans. She is often paranoid about the dangers facing them at the camp, has a fear of rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, and is watched over and protected by Molly, whom she loves romantically and loves her back. They often hold hands and share panels together as a couple.

Mal also has an obvious crush on Molly, the two met when they bumped into each other on the first day. Now, they hold a happy romantic relationship and are often holding hands or generally together.

Mal is obviously known most for her fear of water and general anxiety of the Roanokes' adventures. She is often cautious of her surroundings and is usually always on high-alert looking for dangers or mythical beings that could jump out at any moment. Due to this habit of hers, she's often worried that she doesn't fit in the group when they're out adventuring and believes that she is the coward of the group, Molly assures that she is not.

In the later issues though, with Molly's help, she can be seen stepping up to the face the dangers ahead, like a true hardcore lady-type!

## Plot

The story starts with a flash-forward on the pond, starting with a tranquil scene with two sapphic ducks. Then, sea serpents and angry merpeople with tridents flow the area. The Roanokes glare at April who says "how was I supposed to know this would happen?". Then, the scene reverts to the present storyline, where the roanokes are relaxing by the lake, trying to destress from their last adventure. Then, Jo's fishing rod accidentally catches onto a punk vest with band patches! An angry merwoman with a purple undercut and fishing hook earrings snatches it back. April is delighted and we see a flashback to her obsession with the little mermaid as a kid, while Mal's eyes go starry at the band patches on the vest. The merwoman is named Harlow, who says to call her a "merwomyn", a reference to trans-exclusive elements of second wave feminism. Another merwoman, Taylor appears, who tries to catch up and warn her that she shouldn't be in this part of the lake. Other merpeople appear, including Carter who gets into an arguement with Harlow about how she "betrayed the band", and Harlow storms off. Jen tries to get the girls to leave back to camp, but April convinces them to stay and talk to Harlow about what happened because "friendship to the max, right?" The others agree and stir up a sea serpent while looking for Harlow, who comes to their rescue. Harlow tells the Roanokes about how her and Taylor were childhood friends (flashbacks include images of Taylor that some have interpreted to mean, along with other subtext, that she is transgender) and formed a band together. "Music is very important to merculture", Harlow adds. Later Carter joined and Harlow felt the band was changing too much, and after she missed a gig, they split up. After Harlowe's story, April declares, to the Roanokes' dismay, that they will help bring the band back together.

Roanoke Cabin

The Roanoke cabin is one cabin at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types, a summer camp whose attendees are known as Lumberjane Scouts. There are six members — Molly, Mal, Jo, April, Ripley, and their counselor Jen.

All the cabins at the camp are named after unsolved mysteries, Roanoke being a refrence to the Roanoke Colony of Virgina in 1585. The Roanoke cabin is small and in a part of the camp's forest, and typically has 6 bunkbeds, though as the artists change between arcs the room will occasionally look different. Mal and Molly share one bunkbed, April and Jo share another, and Ripley and Jen might share, though in some designs the counselor has her own seperate bed.
Volume 14

**Volume 14** has not yet had a title announced. It would follow the 13th volume Indoor Recess scheduled for a Dec 2019 release, so it would probably be released in the year 2020.

Following the previous pattern of 4 issues per volume, it should span issue 53 to issue 56.

Volume 15 is also expected, since there are at least 68 issues in the series.
Apollo's boyfriend

The boyfriend of Apollo is mentioned by Diane in one of the volumes. Apollo created hyacinths for him a millenium ago.

## Original Myths

The character Diane is talking about is almost definitely Hyacinthus, a Spartan prince-- and Apollo's boyfriend-- killed while they were playing discus, and in the original versions Apollo turned his dying lover into a flower.

Jen

**Jen** (short for **Jennifer**) is a camp counsellor and the cabin leader of the Roanoke Cabin. She is very rule oriented and is well versed in various fields of knowledge such as botany and astronomy. Though she initially bemoans the adventurousness of her campers and is incredibly skeptical of their seemingly exaggerated accounts, she eventually sides with them after an encounter with some possessed Scouting Lads.

She takes the minute meetings when the counsellors talk, and they look to her as a leader in an emergency.

## Appearance

Jen has long, curly black hair, dark skin, and a muscular form. She is always seen wearing the Lumberjane uniform: a beret, red kerchief, cream button-up shirt, green pencil skirt, high socks, and dress shoes. The only exception to this is when she wore a grey sweatshirt and jeans in #8. She is African-American.

## Personality

Jen is very serious about her position. She is known to be very stubborn, responsible, serious and in some situations, brave and daring. Jen is also very smart, and is considered a "nerd" by the Roanoke cabin when it comes to astronomy and space.

She is also said to always be very formal, wearing a crisp, clean uniform every day.

Like Mal, it's sometimes hard for Jen to believe that all the strange, supernatural creatures they encounter even exist. She finds it frustrating that she can't have a normal summer like her friends at home or have a quite job helping out at a space museum, but in the end, she admits still loves all the adventures they have.

She considers and loves everyone in Roanoke as if they were her own, especially Ripley.

## Rosie's names

Rosie, the camp manager mostly calls her anything but 'Jen'. Whether or not this is intentional or accidental Jen will usually try and correct her. This has happened dozens of times and is probably the next most common trope in the comic next to shout-outs to notable women or kooky badges. She has been called Jane, Jem, Jenny, Janet, and even Jedediah.

## Plot

The issue starts with the Roanokes, Diane, and Jen, (who ended the last issue by declaring she wanted “in” on the Roanoke’s plans to discover the magic of the forest) trying to steal Rosie’s blue crystal in a heist style attempt full with codenames and Ripley hanging from a rope. When Jen panickedly distracts Rosie, Ripley is able to steal the crystal and they all move into the woods, celebrating, which is abruptly broken by Diane wanting to stop “wasting time” and her and Jo join the crystal and the golden eye disc much to April’s confusion. A golden stag emerges from the crystal, and says “Follow me, Artemis.” April demands an explanation, and Diane begrudgingly tells the Roanokes of a system of trials Zeus has set up for her and her brother, Apollo, to determine who will be his successor. (At this point Molly realizes Diane is Artemis and asks her to sign her “It’s A Myth-tery” badge.) Diane reveals that Apollo caused the foxes to go after the Roanokes in the first issue, has possessed the Scouting Lads, and in general it would be very bad if he got his hands on that kind of power. April lashes out due to her feelings of betrayal at Jo not telling her that she had the golden disc, and demanding to Diane that they should just destroy the power, which Diane says isn’t possible as someone must get it and it would be disastrous if a mortal was given the power. April and Jo argue, with Jo saying she was scared that because all the monsters kept heading towards them due to her having the golden eye, April would not want to be friends anymore, and she was just trying to protect them, to which April says isn’t her job, and storms off tearfully.

Diane dramatically leads the group to the cave of trials, which the Roanokes tell her they’ve already finished, with Mal saying “C’mon guys, Cave round 2, Alley-oop!” When they enter the anagram room, lightning bugs that seem to literally conduct electricity buzz at them, zapping April and Ripley when they try to fight them. Diane tells Jo there is only one way to save her friends, by putting the crystal and the eye in a pedestal with a slot in the cave. Jo realizes that there’s a reason Diane won’t do it herself, but when Diane affirms that it will save her friends she puts the eye and crystal in place anyway, and the lightning bugs are blown back and glowing constellation patterns light up the cave, which Jen rushes to categorize before bumping into Jo, who, to the Roanoke’s horror has been turned into stone.

Rosie

Rosie is the camp director and Jen's boss. Not much is known about her, though she appears to be quite well versed in camp-specific activities such as whittling. She used to be Lumberjane, and has a dislike for the Bearwoman. She seems to have had a romantic relationship with Abigail in the past. Her, Abigail, and the Grand Lodge all were cabinmates when they were campers

## Appearance

Rosie wears tan green shorts and a grey checked shirt. She has a polka dot bandana that ties up her ginger hair and has several tattoos.

## Personality

Rosie is a very eccentric woman. She is a very mysterious lady and no one knows much about her very much. Rosie is also very strong, shown when she worked with April to topple the fusion of The Chaperones in the Gotham Academy crossover.

## Trivia

* She gets Jen's name wrong quite often
	+ It is shown she does this on purpose, as when they are trapped in Abigail's home, she calls her Jen
* She has great faith in the Roanokes
* From design to personality to name she is likely based off of Rosie the Riveter.

Vanessa

Vanessa is a counselor briefly mentioned in the Lumberjanes novels. We don't know much about her, other than that she is meant to be the counselor of the Zodiac Cabin.

## Theories

Because Vanessa is present in the novels but cannot be found anywhere in the comics, fans theorize that she may have been kidnapped and held prisoner by The Gray, or that she is on a secret quest for Rosie. Most fans agree that she left Hes in charge in her place as a sort of junior counselor.

Jo

Jo
--

**Jo** is one of the main characters of *Lumberjanes*. She is generally calm and analytical and is shown to be very good at all things STEM in the Lumberjanes novel "The Moon Is Up," Jo is offered a mid-summer transfer to space camp. She is a trans girl and has two dads.

## Background

Jo has a strong bond with April, her best friend ever since they were babies. She refers to April's father as 'Uncle' in Issue 37 when the girls' parents visit camp, but we have no other information that indicates they are cousins; they are otherwise portrayed as best friends with no biological relation.

Kat Leyh, a writer for the series, confirmed her to be Navajo.

Jo is a trans girl. She chose her name because it sounds like it could be the name of an element on the periodic table, since it has two letters.

## Appearance

Jo is tall and thin, with a strong nose and chin. She has olive skin and dark brown shoulder-length hair. She is usually seen wearing a jacket, red hoodie, blue striped shirt, jeans, heeled boots, and a necklace with a rock. She carries around a brown messenger bag and is said to have several gears and mechanics in her pockets, in case she needs to build something. In the Denver Comic-con exclusive cover, she is shown playing drums.

## Personality

Jo is known to be intelligent and a natural leader. She is also clever, strong, confident, calm, stubborn and loyal. Jo is also self-aware of her identity.

Jo is the most cool-headed and analytical member of the group. She is a transgender girl who has two gay fathers. She acts as the de facto leader and specializes in the more mathematical puzzles the group faces, and is the most by-the-book of the scouts, knowing the Lumberjanes pledge by heart. She has a strong bond with April, including a secret handshake. When Jen is absent, Jo is the most likely to worry about the safety of the group and attempt to rescue her friends.

Jo is also very interested in mechanical engineering, being particularly talented in robotics. Her dads have expressed that they want her to start focusing on her future more, but she wants to focus on having fun and making friends at camp.

She is one of the most invested Roanokes in the Lumberjanes organization, as she is the only one who has memorized the pledge, and she seems to know the rules better than anyone else in her cabin. Her skills are forging, building, pool, math, and the Lumberjanes pledge.

She is very interested in researching the strange time occurrences around camp, as she had built MYSTY to research the time anomalies.

## References

1. ↑ In Issue 57, it's stated that Jo's birthday is sometime in the summer.

Misnaming

**Misnaming** is a recurring trope of the Lumberjanes franchise, nearly as common as the various name Exclamations.

This primarily happens as Rosie, the camp head, says the wrong name for Jen, the counselor of Roanoke. They are generally followed by Jen correcting Rosie as to her actual name.

There was ONE instance where Rosie got it right, and on habit Jen started to correct her before realizing it wasn't necessary.

Examples include but are not limited to:
