### Relatives

## Appearance

Jo Violet appears as a young person with dark skin and big eyes. Jo wears glasses which are permanently crooked, as the temple hinges are broken. They always wear strontium titanate stud earrings which they synthesized in eighth grade. They always wear turtlenecks and their hair is in Bantu knots. They have radiation burns on the front of their neck and a cataract in their left eye.

## Personality

Jo initially appears aloof, anxious, and standoffish to anyone they come in contact with. They avoid physical proximity to others. As time goes on, they actually realize that their radiation poisoning symptoms aren't worsening, and all evidence points to their body magically no longer being radioactive. After warming up to the group they are bright, positive, and resourceful if not a little odd.

## Backstory

Jo was born to 17-year-old Alisha Atkinson in California, and was then adopted by Gabriel and Dominique. They were a bright kid and their dads fostered their intelligence and interests. In school, they advanced incredibly quickly, and began to pick up chemistry as an interest. They never had many friends their own age as they were usually in classes with older students and kept to themselves. Their study paid off as they graduated from high school on their fifteenth birthday. They went straight to college, and at the time of the game, they are in their second year. They study nuclear chemistry and neutrino oscillation to measure chemical compositions of distant planets. Approximately two weeks before the game, Jo was exposed to an immense amount of radiation, causing acute radiation syndrome. The ARS develops in the time before the game, and they are experiencing hair loss, a cataract in their left eye, and radiation burns.

## In-game

Jo was not in Curio's Cabinet because Jo actually appeared in The System later than all other players, being introduced during the Escape Room portion of the game. Their appearance coincided with Omi's death. Jo immediately works with the escape room to attempt to escape. They repeat that their name is Jo Clair Violet.

At the beginning of Sycophantic Daydream, Jo hides in their room for several days. They periodically ask for various supplies to build measurement tools. They use their strontium titanate earring to scratch surfaces and determine hardness. They also scratch an eye-testing chart into their window to track their cataract development.

They are invited into Aeon's garden, which they oblige, after asking many questions and testing the nature of the System. Jo sits down with Aeon and Sandrone and Pandora 2 begin to fight in the garden. Jo is frustrated and angry because they are disturbing the peace that Jo came here to seek, and throws their coffee, which is caught. Sandrone tears out Pandora 2's tongue. Sandrone slaps Jo and they begin to cry. Aeon fails to console them and they leave, gaining nothing.
Once the labyrinth begins, Jo finds themselves in front of a stage when a wooden hand descends for them. They climb on and are trapped inside. They struggle, but while losing oxygen scratch a message into their arm, reading "Jo Clair Violet, 16 years old, don't forget me." They suffocate inside Excellbregg.

The labyrinth revives them, and they wait in the lobby to meet up with someone. When Vier appears Jo immediately begins to strategize. Sandrone then intrudes and forces them to play a game of Russian roulette with party poppers. Vier gets unlucky and begins to slowly bleed out. Jo goes next and chooses to aim the popper at their heart for a faster death. They survive. Jo hesitates, but realizes that if Vier is to die anyways, they must put him out of his misery. They stomp with their whole weight onto Vier's throat. This is useless. Sandrone further pokes at Jo, forcing them to pop another party popper if they want to stay. Jo complies and aims for the heart once more. They survive. They scribble a note and exit the labyrinth's lobby, leaving Vier to bleed out.

Jo appears in an arena with a broken sword. They explore the area, trying to find a way out. A few hours later, Damien and Nikita also appear in the arena. Damien and Jo work together and discover that fighting in the arena will trigger a bell ringing, and a stampede begins to approach. Jo and Damien panic but Jo prepares by covering themselves in the sour void fluid surrounding the arena, so that animals will be disinclined to eat them. The Lion's Pride barges through the seats of the arena. Damien and Jo struggle, but eventually are able to get the Lion's Pride to step on the sword in the center of the lobby. Jo is injured but celebrates nonetheless. They begin to take notes using their flip phone.
Damien and Jo continue on into the bar. The bar features odd chemicals, which Damien immediately mixes, citing that she was here earlier. Jo immediately stresses because they must not only conserve their materials but follow proper scientific procedure. Jo does just that. They discover they can do almost nothing but mix a gross, brown, viscous liquid. There is also a hole in the floor, which Damien and Jo test together, and Jo theorizes that it will be safe to throw themself down. They debate the risk for some time but tell Damien with confidence that they'll meet up again. Jo leaps into the hole. They hit the ground and die.

Jo is revived, adds to their note using their phone's messages, and marches back into the labyrinth.

## Death

In the third section of the game, the radioactivity began to affect Jo greatly. They enter the garden with Aeon on April 25, in a state of confusion, forgetting the players names. They are served coffee.
