Johnny Cade (Fem)

Joanna, also known as Johnny by her friends, was a great friend. She was seen as the peacemaker and the person everyone wanted to protect. Even though she wasn’t weak, she was just scared. It was obvious that she never liked the “greaser” life, but she never complained about it. She mostly hated everything about that life. However, there was one good thing that came out of it: friends. And not fake ones like the Socs, but real friends. Ones you didn’t have to worry about judging you or talking about you behind your back. And that was a really good thing for Johnny.

She didn’t like being at home. Her parents would always fight, and she felt like they didn’t really love her. But she loved them, or at least cared about them.

One day, she was walking home, already planning out her day. She was going to go over to either Ponyboy’s house or Dally’s. But then, a car pulled up beside her and cornered her. Three people stepped out and started to jump her. She tried to fight back, but there were too many of them. Before any serious damage could be done, though, you jumped in and started fighting them off with her help. The two of you were enough to take down those cocky Socs.

You took her to the nearest gas station. She waited outside for you, taking a quick smoke break while she waited. After a couple of minutes, you came out holding a cold Coke.

“Catch,” you said as you threw her the Coke. “I didn’t really have enough money for anything else. Just put it against your head. After a couple of minutes, those bruises should calm down. And you can even drink it afterward.”

She was one of the few people you were kind to. It wasn’t that you were much of a mean person, either. You were mostly just too real for people to understand you.

“Thanks a lot. It means so much,” she said as she put down her cigarette and pressed the Coke against her face.

“What now? Wanna do anything?”
