Mess with me? Fine! Mess with my family? You’re dead.

Johanna "Jo" Mitchell is the main character and the protagonist in Mean Girls 2. She is portrayed by Meaghan Martin.

Jo is an 18-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 originally.
  • Both changed schools (though Jo had been to many schools while Cady had been homeschooled)
  • Both had a tough time fitting in.
  • Both got involved with the Plastics surprisingly.

Appearance

Jo has shoulder-length blonde hair and Blue eyes. She later had pink, purple and blue streaks on the left and right side of her hair. Jo is very skinny and average height. Mandi Weatherly mentions that Jo is "kinda pretty" and it was revealed 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, we find out that her mother died when she was one year old 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 college her mother attended.

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.
