Josephine is an independent American bounty hunter, ex-wife of Zeik, who aims to collect the bounty on Samurai Jack as he travels through the West. She appears in Episode XXIX: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful.

Character Outline

Josephine is a beautiful woman with dark eyes, dark hair and an even darker nature. She has a flirtatious side to a violently sadistic personality, using her feminine charms to lure male targets into a sense of false security before striking in the style of a femme fatale.

She also has an intense rivalry with her ex-husband Zeik, with whom she once had a profitable partnership across the Western Territories, most notably Kansas City. But business and pleasure ought not mix, and the two suffered a falling out that ultimately forced Zeik to declare a restraining order of 100 feet against Josephine.

Abilities and Skills

As a bounty hunter, Josephine possesses a wide array of skills including:

Bartitsu: Trained in the art of gentleman's combat, Josephine is adept at using ordinary objects such as an umbrella to fight. Not to mention she also owns a custom umbrella that functions a concealable sword and chain weapon, much in the fashion of Sherlockian villains such as Professor Moriarty or Lord Blackwood.

Master Tracker: Josephine is noted to possess greater tracking skills than her ex-husband Zeik, easily following the samurai onto a train under the guise of a civilian, while her former lover wastes time attempting to sneak past security.

Seductress: She is especially effective at using her feminine charms to subdue her quarry without causing alarm, tempting and extracting information from unsuspecting men.

Expert Marksmen: Josephine has displayed excellent accuracy and balance with her twin revolvers.
