Jody Mills is probably one of my favorite female characters. She’s tough, smart, and kind even though she’s been through a lot of crap. Jody is an awesome character, and here are some reasons to love and appreciate Jody Mills.
- She’s a badass sheriff.
- Her son died, then was resurrected then turned into a zombie and ate her husband. Despite that terrible event, she has opened her heart to the possibility of love with another person several times, and has taken in two girls.
- She’s super frank and speaks her mind often.
- She was the first one to alert Bobby, Sam, and Dean that the Leviathans had taken human form (even if she didn’t know they were Leviathans at first).
- She shut own Doug and called him out on fatshaming.
- She’s really open about having conversatios about safe sex. (And at the dinner table, no less.)
- She’s a hunter in her own right but also holds down a job as the sheriff of Soux Falls. She’s also covered for hunters in the past.
- She once stabbed a goddess with a stake she pulled out of her own chest.
- She went on a blind date with Crowley. She nearly died but she was saved.
- She’s funny.
- She’s supportive and want to keep communication open with both her adopted daughters and her friends.
- She wants the best for Alex and Claire and has tried to encourage them to have normal lives.
- She held her own against a brainwashed Mary and subdued her with Alex’s help.
- She shot Dr. Hess right in the head.
- She’s tough but compassionate. She sets boundaries but she is willing and able to meet Sam, Dean, Alex, and Claire with love, understanding, and acceptance.
- Despite being only three years older than Dean she still “moms” him and Sam from time to time (and it’s great).
- Jody Mills is one of the best minor characters spn has. She’s tough but compassionate, badass and comforting, bold and fun. She’s complex and hunting doesn’t define her life. She’s a good person with a great heart.
