In Depth...
"It's not about fault. It's about will."
Likes: - Junk food even if sometimes she had to eat hum..what ? Healthy food?
- Making very bad jokes, often at the very wrong moment to be honest!
- As hard as it sound…Cooking! She used to sing along to some music during that process.
Dislikes: - Werewolf. Seriously, she freaks out when she’s in front of a werewolf.
- Lies, there’s no time for lies and founding the truth.
- Men who’s trying to look into her underwear drawer. What’s the point of this as you can see them on shops or on ladies?!
Dreams: Kill the demon that killed her father. Her brothers getting a normal life, she wishes that one day she will get a normal life too or at least being married and have children. Found someone who told her that he or she believes in her. Sound really girlie hu?
Strengths/Special Abilities: She can recognize a werewolf in his human form when she gets closer. She’s really good with a knife or a crossbow, but she knows how to use a gun too. Reading a lot her parents’ journal she’s getting some supernatural knowledge. She’s smart, fast and can easily walking without making a sound.
Weaknesses: She froze when she’s with a werewolf. Now and then she could feel helpless and empty, don’t ask anything from her during that day. Her father, even dead when someone talks about him she could cry or shout at you. Her feelings, she could be strong but she could glimpse into emotion, especially when it’s about her family or people she cares about. She thinks low about herself.
Personality (At least 2 paragraphs): Jolene always been a good girl, smiling every time, laughing at stupid jokes even make some. She is really a sunshine for her dad. Good at school, her teachers always felt that she was special, brilliant and smart. They were true about that and that helps her a lot during her hunting mission. The girl always thinking before she says anything, she never used to lie to someone and if she had to promise something she better think about it before promising. So if you have her words, you can trust her.
There’s no doubt the hunter blood run in through her veins, she enjoys that mostly, and over the fact that killing is a way for her to express all the anger she can keep inside her, she’s curious about everything, how each creatures lives what poison them all that kind of thing. She always wanted to learn more and more each time.
Besides that, she’s a calm girl, growing up maybe too quickly? She tries to not feel empty and she can count on her brothers for that. Taking care of them as she was their mother, she felt the need to always protect them, never leaving them without instructions and a gun. When she’s back home, she can be the cool sister always there for you, you can get some hugs but also some childish thing like water battle as she need to relax and just being silly. She always found a way to get a smile on her brothers faces even if they talked about how they miss their parents a few minutes before. But the truth is she is the one who needed more to do childish things to feel better and not guilty or empty.
Come closer, look deeply into her eyes and you will see the child she used to be without her dad, with the sentence that her mother say before dying still stuck in her head like an echo.

Character History...
"I was gonna say you look like you'd seen a ghost, but you'd probably be stoked."
As you all may know, living in a hunter family isn’t that easy. The couple didn’t stick together as one need to look out for the children, one week mum stay and then the other week it was dad’s turn. Jolene pray sometimes that her mother need to be away for a few more days or even weeks, it happens sometimes but not as often as the child wish for. During the weeks where her dad was home, she observed him taking care of his weapons and doing some research, as a good kid she imitate him with toys, then she grows up and start to cleaning the real weapons her father always next to her just in case, just to watch this beautiful brown girl wanted to be like him and his wife. Of course Alban and Charles used to do the same thing, but with Alina, her mother.
Years go by and now the parents teaches their kids how to properly use a weapon, the boys seems to like guns and Jolene like knife and crossbrow, she’s getting faster everyday and her tiny body help her to sneak almost everywhere. David was so proud of this little girl he can’t even found the word to tell her. Now and then, she used to help her parents on some cases, especially doing the research thing. Her long fingers dancing on the keyboard, she felt useful for the first time of her life for her father and even for her mother.
As soon as she get her graduation she express to her family her willing to be a hunter too, no one freaks out as she was almost one, her mother give up so she was her father backup in some ways, hitting the road with him she learned soon enough the less you talk about your family the safety they are. It wasn’t that bad for her to sleep in some old motel or at someone’s couch, she meet some hunter friend of her dad and some new hunter too, it was a strange feeling to found out strangers who’s acting like if they were family of yours, but it also feels good, a bit more safety to think someone always got your back during a mission.
Years go by, her mother seems to miss the hunt, but she’s got a good job as a secretary now and feels comfortable in her new job too. She’s getting paid for the work she has done and catches the kids right after school. The relationship between Jolene and Aliana no longer evolve or getting better, they just pass by each others saying hello and good night.
Something really wrong happened, the apocalypse is here and no one is safe, every hunter watch out, getting ready to get in the fight and barely sleeping. It was an awful time for Jolene who can only rely on her father. They came back home sometimes and then stayed when her mother found out she was pregnant, all the family was quite happy, even Jolene! But the worst was to come. The baby was born, but David went alone for a mission, the sister wanted to take care of the new family member. Days goes by and the family get worried as David didn’t shows up. Jolene can remember clearly this day as her mother came into her room yelling at her how much she hated her and how worthless she was, she ended her sentence by “I have never trusted you Jolene.” And walk away. The girl just froze, unable to speak or even to move, she slowly falling apart inside her. She knows her mother didn’t liked her, but all that rage and anger slam into her face was too much to handle with. She cried.
Alone with the children, she pretend to be ok, but she was just broken into pieces, she was still worried as days go by and no one came. She takes the boys at school and takes care of Jesse, until a friend of her father came to tell the truth. David was killed by a demon just before the apocalypse ended, then her mother came after that creatures and was found dead too.
She runs, as fast as she can, as long as her breath can take her and then she falls on her knees screaming as if death beat her down before dying and then she cries. Her tears seems like they will never stop. This time of weakness tear her down, wishing to be dead too, but it was only 3 hours later, when she felled completely drained of her emotion that she walked back home to look out for her brothers.
She’s a good sister, ask everyone and they will tell you how funny and how strong she is, she is like a mummy to her brothers, taking care of them when they’re sick, but most of all she grabbed every single weapons her parents have and created a special room where you can see them and a tons of paper on a table, as her dad and mum no longer here she just continue they’re work. Think smart and always have some back-up weapons her dad used to tell her and so she do, most of the time she had a knife hiding on her back, just under her jeans and shirt, and she always have some bullets in her pockets.
As her parents, she sometimes need to go away from home a few days, Miss Martin -her neighbour- come to look out for the kids, Jolene pretending to be away for her works even is it’s true, Miss Martin completely understand that she needs to breath away from that house and be able to stand on her own for a few days before getting back to them. She already thinks about doing that but she couldn’t help herself but hunting and getting back as soon to her family.
She looks up in the sky and watched all this angels falling down. It was beautiful in a way, and she can’t help but had a tear rolling down her check while she tied her grip on the baby and one of her brother. Just standing there and watching, helpless and afraid, she felt it was only the beginning.

She looks up at the clock in the kitchen, checking if the milk in the Feeding-bottle was at the right temperature for Jesse to feed. A sigh came out from her mouth as she sat beside the baby and with one arm on the table giving him what is going to be his breakfast. A quick glance at the boys who were playing at some x-box or PS3 or whatever the thing is and then focus her attention on the little boy in front of her. He was so sweet and easy, looking at her as if she was a goddess, she can’t help but smile back at him, feeling peace in this little world of them almost a normal life if we decided to forget that in a day or two she will be tracking a vampire down.
Birds singing, sun shining, it could be so perfect if the apocalypse didn’t killed her father, she think about her mum too as she knows how much the boys loved her. These angels falling from the sky, this is definitively not a good sign. A shiver runs through her skull. Alban takes her out of the daydream.
“Hey buddy, what are you up to today?
- Maybe we could stay home. And you know, we could take care of Jesse when you leave, no need of Miss Martin.”
She smiled at the boy, it was the first time ever he proposed to take care of the little brother, but she can’t let him do that. Of course he’s soon eighteen but she wanted him to focus on school and what he wanted to do in his life better than take care of a baby who isn’t his.
“Thanx, but you already know that Miss Martin will be here tomorrow. You need to revise for your exams, right?
- Right, but I wanted to be a hunter just like you Jolene. It’s just not fair.
- Listen, you get your graduation and then we talked about it.”
He didn’t answer back and leave the room. Jolene sight and looked at the little boy who just finished his meal. She grabbed him in her arms and walk around the table.
“You, boy, are so not going to grow up right now. Right? You will stay my baby boy forever, never been a hunter and never bring girls in you bed room. Damn, I sound like an old fashioned mum. But let me tell you, you’ve got the chance to have me as your sister.
- I love you sister!”
She buries her face against the neck of her youngest brother and smells him. Her eyes closed, for a few seconds she stayed still as she felt in peace and pretend to be a simple human with a boring life.
