## Trivia

* She is one of three characters whose sexuality was unspecified in It Lives In The Woods but LGBT+ in this book, the other two being Dan and Noah.
* She is the only love interest who can be killed by Your Character. This can happen if their nerve score is On Edge or lower in Chapter 21 and they are not in a relationship with Jocelyn. The option "Attack her" will appear; choosing it will cause Your Character to beat up Jocelyn, and you then have the option of giving into your anger and killing her.
	+ Killing Jocelyn causes her relationship score to drop to 0 and everyone else's relationship score to drop by 75 points (or to 0 if they have 75 points or less).
* Both of her potential deaths involve her being beaten to death while she lets it happen, believing she deserves it for being such a horrible person in the past.
* She is the only love interest with two distinct romance routes: Slow Burn and Friends With Benefits. The latter can only happen if MC follows her in Chapter 5, chooses the correct option when prompted, and sleeps with her when the option pops up. Anything else will lock you into the Slow Burn route.
	+ While difficult to achieve (yet still doable), it's possible to end up pursuing Jocelyn while still keeping her relationship score below 50, though this is only possible on the FWB route (since the Slow Burn route will automatically push her relationship score much higher than 50). If this happens, you have the option of refusing to forgive her in Chapter 21 (if your relationship score with her is high enough that she warns you about Matthias' trap, you automatically forgive her). If you refuse to forgive her, you can give her a second chance later in the chapter or break up with her. You can even attack and kill her despite being in a relationship with her under the right circumstances.
	+ Additionally, you have the option of breaking up with her in Chapter 7 after finding out about her past. If you choose this option, there is no way to romance her again for the rest of the book, and any time you choose a romantic option related to her, she will react negatively.
* Her relationship score starts at 0, making her relationship the hardest to build out of any love interest.
