Jo (The Symphony of Ages)
- Jo (The Symphony of Ages)
Jo is a fictional character from Elizabeth Haydon's series, the Symphony of Ages. Her name is short for Josephine, and she is found along with other children, in the House of Remembrance, apparently saved just shy of being killed along with the other trapped children.
Rescue
Readers first meet Jo about halfway through Haydon's . Jo is a troubled and angry teenaged girl, sixteen at the time, who even after being rescued is rude and untrustworthy even to those who have just saved her life. Rhapsody, realizing the girl is troubled, orphaned and a child of the street like she herself once was, adopts Jo as her sister. Jo can hardly believe Rhapsody and her companions are not forcing her back to her home land (where she was kidnapped from) Navarne, where she is wanted for stealing.
Life After Adoption
After Rhapsody has Lord Stephen of Navarne pardon Jo, Jo travels with Rhapsody and her companions. Eventually, Jo becomes less unstable, more trustworthy and even a trained fighter, with the help of Grunthor. When Achmed becomes the leader of the Ylorc region, Jo stays with them, in a startlingly almost luxurious life she has never known.
