Johanna "Jo" Mitchell is the main character and the protagonist in Mean Girls 2. She is portrayed by Meaghan Martin.
Jo is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her father, a builder of race car engines for NASCAR. Because of his tough job, she has changed schools at least three times a year.
Jo is thought to be the sequel version of Cady Heron, the main character from the movie's prequel, Mean Girls as the two have many similarities:
- Both were considered outcasts.
- Both changed schools.
- Both had a rough time fitting in.
- Both got involved with the Plastics surprisingly.
Appearance
Jo has bra-length darkish-blonde hair and brown eyes. Mandi Weatherly mentions that Jo is "kinda pretty" that she has attracted many males online with comments saying (19:47):
- Mel B : She's so hot!!
- joeyz : Wow how hot is she?
- Charlie E : smokin hot!
- Jimmy M : Wicked hot...
- SamlAm : She is so hot
- Rocket : she really is hot!
- Lawrence B : That new girl? What a hottie!
- Gabriel C : i think the new girl jo is hot!
- marcus t : oh yeah she's hot
- Ziggy : she is hot alright
Hope Plotkin mentions that all the guys think Jo "is hot" and Mandi mentions that Jo "is well-connected".
Early life
Even though Jo's past wasn't deeply explored, in comparison to Cady Heron (a character from early in the movie), we find out that she lost her mother at very young age and she has been living with her father ever since. She was never a great student, but even so, she was still ambitious and wanted to one day enroll at the university her mother attended.
Along with her dad, they've had a tough life and they were financially weak as her father's job wasn't enough to support both of them.
Like mentioned before, she has continuously changed schools at least three times a year before she finally settled down in the North Shore High School.
