Line 6:
Being a shaman was supposed to be a [[Puberty Superpower]], but due to a few disastrous things such as [[Teen Pregnancy]] happening to her at the age of fifteen, Joanne ended up [[Forgot the Call|Forgetting The Call]] until forced to choose otherwise. Now she ends up learning "on the job" a lot, and thus has a ''ton'' of [[How Do I Shot Web?]] going on.
 
Shamanic powers include [[Healing Hands]], many journeys to the [[Mental World]] and [[Dream Land]], and [[Aura Vision]], [[Clairvoyance]], and [[I See Dead People]] on occasion. [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]] (or Joanne discovers that she can do them) adds to this list frequently.
 
Books in the series so far include:
Line 25:
* [[The Black Cauldron]]: played straight in ''Walking Dead.'' Joanne cites the movie when she's told about it and gets some very unhappy looks in her direction when she does.
* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]: note the butterfly tats on the Braggs.
* [[Call Onon Me]]: Suzanne uses this to summon her grandfather.
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: The unfortunate result of using the black cauldron. {{spoiler|You can get creepy undead warriors, OR if you do it at the right time, you get them back...for one very agonizingly painful minute before they die again.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: The tortoise spirit that Joanne finds for Gary in ''Thunderbird Falls'' helps him fight off the wendigo at one point during ''Demon Hunts''.
Line 31:
* [[Cool Car]]: Petite. Also, [[Watch the Paint Job]].
* [[Cool Sword]]
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Jo has healing powers, astral projection, and she can borrow energy from the world around her when she needs to -- but there are consequences to that which are also her responsibility. To say nothing of the fact that Jo isn't really too crazy about being a shaman in the first place.
* [[Da Chief]]: Morrison
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: {{spoiler|Faye}}
* [[Demonic Possession]]: or godly possession
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: Joanne and Barbara.
* [[Donut Mess Withwith a Cop]]: The Missing O, the local donut shop, is a frequent downtime place for the cast to grab munchies and talk. Those closest to Joanne know her favorites are apple fritters, maple bars, and mint hot chocolate (or Italian sodas in the summer).
* [[Doomed Appointment]]
* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Siobhan is Joanne's given first name, which nobody can spell or pronounce. Her father changed it to "Joanne" immediately. She's also not too fond of her full last name, Walkingstick. She dropped the "stick" upon high school graduation, and goes now by Joanne Walker as her name, even though she's never filed for an official name change.
Line 44:
* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Barb's weapon because she knows Joanne outclasses her in mano a mano fighting.
* [[Greasy Spoon]]: i.e. the scene of Joanne's original stabbing
* [[Halloween Episode]]: ''Walking Dead'' takes place then. It also shows Joanne and Phoebe as [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena and Gabrielle]] and Morrison dressed up from [[Miami Vice]] (possibly an example of [[For Halloween I Am Going Asas Myself]] ?).
* [[Have You Seen My God?]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Herne comes back to help Joanne in ''Demon Hunts'', and tells her to apologize to Suzanne on his behalf if the time ever comes.}}
Line 68:
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]]: Mark and Thor, so far
* [[Supercop]]: arguably Joanne, given her abilities and being the only one who can solve certain problems.
* [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Joanne likes everything from the local donut shop, Raspberry Fudge ripple ice cream, and pretty much anything Gary cooks.
* {{spoiler|[[Treacherous Advisor]]: Judy}}
