Jojo’s Bizarre Adventuremay have a reputation as being a particularly masculine series overall, but that hasn’t stopped it from including some very powerful women over the years. Since a Stand ability is merely the manifestation of one’s soul, anyone can have a powerful Stand with strong enough willpower.
While female Stand users are a bit rarer than their male counterparts, there have still been plenty of strong female Stand users, both as allies and enemies of the Joestar family. Their abilities can vary widely, from healing to memory manipulation to raw offensive power, which can make ranking them a bit difficult. Versatility plays a large role in the ranking of these Stand users, as a Stand that can be used for many different things tends to be a lot more useful overall than one that has raw power and little else. Still, raw power is definitely a factor that must be considered. Here are 10 of the strongest, most versatile female Stand users from throughout the series.
Appears in: Part 7,Steel Ball Run
Hot Pants isa competitor in the Steel Ball Run, and an ally of Johnny. Hot Pants deliberately dresses ambiguously to allow herself to pass as male. She’s actually a secret agent working for the Vatican, aiming to interfere with the American government’s plan to collect the parts of the Saint’s Corpse. She’s also quite skilled at horseback riding, keeping at the top of the pack throughout much of the race.
Hot Pants' Stand, Cream Starter, is rather unusual, taking the form of a pair of spray cans.It can spray a fleshy substance which will become like new skin after it solidifies, allowing her to modify her body (including her face, for disguise purposes) and heal injuries.Cream Starter can also be used offensively, such as to block someone’s mouth or nose and prevent them from breathing.
9Miraschon Gambles With Her Foes' Organs
Appears in: Part 6,Stone Ocean
Miraschon is a relatively minor villain who confronts Jolyne in the yard at the Green Dolphin Street Prison, challenging her to a bet. She wasgiven her Stand, Marilyn Manson, by Pucci, specifically to interfere with Jolyne. While Jolyne wins their initial bet, Ermes and F.F. are taken in by the chance to win even more, and wind up cheating to try to win.Miraschon’s Stand collects not only the money from Ermes, but also her gold tooth and her liver, as the Stand enforces the terms of any bet made with Miraschon.
Jolyne must make a new bet to win back Ermes' possessions (and organs). She manages to find a loophole in the terms of the bet and ends up beating the tar out of Miraschon with the baseball they’d been playing catch with, leaving her utterly defeated.
8Gwess Can Shrink Down Anyone
Gwess is Jolyne’s cellmate and the first enemy Stand user she encounters at Green Dolphin Street Prison.Gwess’s Stand, Goo Goo Dolls, is a long-range stand that can shrink targets down to about the size of a mouse, including humans. The effect lasts as long as the target stays within a certain distance from Gwess, and escaping that distance becomes exponentially more difficult for someone shrunk down.
In terms of power, Goo Goo Dolls isn’t very strong, but against shrunken targets, it’s surprisingly dangerous. Jolyne ultimately defeats Gwess by ensnaring her with Stone Free when Gwess returns Jolyne to normal size in an attempt to get her caught by the guards.
7Trish Una is a Gangster Boss’s Daughter
Appears in: Part 5,Golden Wind
Trish Una is the daughter of Diavolo, the leader of Passione, and was hidden from the world to prevent her from being used as leverage against him.Giorno, Bucciarati, and the othershad to seek her out to protect her. While she initially didn’t have a Stand, she develops one soon after they find her.Her Stand, Spice Girl, is a close-range Stand of moderate strength which can soften any material she strikes with it, giving the object in question a spongy consistency.
Protecting Trish is a major focus of Part 5, but Trish becomes more independent and capable of defending herself once Spice Girl manifests. She plays a key role in defeating Notorious B.I.G., a dangerous automatic Stand that feeds on energy.
6Kei Nijimura is Ice Cold
Appears in: Part 8,Jojolion
Kei Nijimura is first introduced as the housekeeper to the Higashikata family, who bring Josuke in after he’s found without memories among the mysterious Wall Eyes along the coast of Morioh. Kei first appears as an enemy, believing Josuke’s attempts to investigate the family line are proof that he is out to hurt them. She uses her automatic pursuit-type Stand, Born This Way, to chase down Josuke as he attempts to visit Holy Joestar-Kira (secretly her mother,making her a counterpart to Jotaro) in the hospital.
Born This Way takes the form of a biker on a motorcycle, which chases down whatever target it is given relentlessly as soon as they open something, and creates a chilling wind wherever it goes. After Josuke defeats her, the two come to an understanding, and Kei reveals the secret of his origins to him.
5Yasuho Hirose Can Track Anything
Yasuho Hirose is a “friend” of Joshu Higashikata, and grows close to Josuke once he begins living with the Higashikata family.Her Stand, Paisley Park, is far more utility focused than most, able to manipulate technology to help Yasuho learn information or guide those close to her to safety. It often takes the form of the GPS on her phone, allowing her to guide Josuke away from foes. Paisley Park will also present Yasuho with choices occasionally, providing her with an object that will soon become useful.
All 9 JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Parts Ranked From Worst to Best
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a long-running series that’s had its ups and downs. Here’s a ranking of every individual part of the series, up to #1.
Paisley Park does have some offensive ability, but isn’t really used for fighting much. It’s a Stand that’s extremely powerful in a modern world full of technology, allowing her to delete traces of their activities or hack into servers to obtain valuable data. In a sense, it’s the ultimate support Stand.
4Miuccia Miuller Toys with Memory
Miuccia Miuller is another Stand user from Green Dolphin Street Prison who stands against Jolyne. Miu Miu, as she’s commonly called, is actually the chief guard of the prison, and tries to prevent Jolyne from escaping.Her Stand ability, Jail House Lock, can impose a condition on targets allowing them to only be able to remember three pieces of information at a time, making it incredibly difficult to accomplish complex plans.
Miu Miu is eventually defeated by Jolyne with Emporio’s help, and they force her to use her Stand ability on the other guards, making it trivial for them to escape from the prison as the guards quickly forget their existence entirely.
3F.F. is a Colony of Plankton
Foo Fighters, or F.F. for short, is a sentient colony of Plankton which was given a Stand by Pucci, intended to protect his collection of stolen Stand DISCs. Originally confronting Jolyne, F.F. becomes loyal to her when Jolyne spares F.F. after she’s defeated. F.F. then possesses the body of a dead prisoner, and goes on to use that form for the rest of the series.F.F.’s Stand, which shares her name, is what grants the colony sentience and allows her to possess human bodies, as well as heal injuries and even fire projectiles.
F.F.’s biggest weakness is that she needs a lot of water to keep the colony of plankton well hydrated, or else she will begin to die at a fairly rapid pace.
2Ermes Can Duplicate Objects
Ermes Costello is Jolyne’s greatest ally within the prison, a woman who orchestrated her own arrest in an attempt to get vengeance upon the killer of her sister. Ermes originally joins forces with Jolyne due to Jolyne having a greater familiarity with Stands, as a measure of practicality. She discovers a pendant (actually a Stand Arrow’s head) and cuts herself on it, which gives her the Stand Kiss.Kiss takes the form of stickers which, when placed on an object, will duplicate it. When the sticker is removed, the two duplicates come crashing together and rejoin into one.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: 8 Best Stone Ocean Characters, Ranked
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s Stone Ocean introduces plenty of great characters to the series. From Jolyne to Weather Report, who stands out?
Kiss is a versatile Stand with a lot of possible applications, making it very tricky to predict. It can be used offensively, as the process of the two duplicates fusing can be very violent and cause a lot of damage. It also has practical uses, such as applying it to an object, giving that object to someone else, and then removing the sticker, instantly stealing the object back.
1Jolyne’s Stone Free is the Strongest
Jolyne is the daughter of Jotaroand the main protagonist of Part 6. Jolyne also initially doesn’t have a Stand, but receives one from cutting herself on the same Stand Arrow’s head as Ermes. Her Stand, Stone Free, is a power-type that allows Jolyne to unravel her body into string, making it exceptionally versatile. She can use this string to attack, to move around, and to spy on others, as well as many other uses. When the string comes together into a single form, it takes on a humanoid appearance, allowing it to attack like her father’s Stand, with powerful punches.
Jolyne’s Stand is one of the more powerful ones in the franchise, and she’s skilled at using it in both forms. Jolyne can be quite reckless when it comes to fights, making her an unpredictable opponent. She’s quite scrappy, and willing to do just about anything to win, a bit like her great-grandfather, Joseph. These factors come together to make Jolyne without a doubtJojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s strongest female Stand user.
