Jojo used to steal Medda's makeup. She then brought him in to teach him to do it properly.

Anyway my absolute favorite thing about newsies is the fact that one day the Broadway actors just came up with random names for their characters, most of which were probably related to obscure inner jokes, and now ten years later it's still the official names the show is advertising

Like I love the idea of Thayne jasperson going "yes my character is Josephino Jorgelino de la Guerra. Jojo for short. Also he was raised by nuns." and the newsies team just rolling with it without asking questions

Headcanons:

- Has unusually good luck. His customers always let him keep change, his coffee stays warmer and his food always seems fresher. He jokes it's because he still goes to church every Sunday

- A Spanish refugee from the Carolines Question conflict in 1885. His parents feared full-scale war, and sent him away to America where they believed he'd be safe. He arrived only as Jorgelino Josephino, so the nuns gave him an appropriate surname (De La Guerra translates to "of the war")

- Menace. He loves messing with others, although his brutal honestly means sometimes he can take jokes too far

- He's a pacifist by nature, but will get violent if his friends are threatened. He's had to be physically held back on a few occasions

JOJO MY BABY

we’ve talked about other newsie names A Lot, so ofc we’re going to talk about his.

jojo is a nickname for josephino jorgelino de la guerra (and I want you all to know that I literally copy and pasted that because I’ll be damned if I sit here trying to spell that out for five fucking minutes), because clearly, no one has the time for that whole name. it’s clearly a mouthful, and was probably given to him before he lived with the nuns who raised him (he’s an orphan, and grew up in a harlem cathedral) (think of the nuns in carrying the banner). this doesn’t tell us much about his parents, except that they were probably immigrants.

jojo became a manhattan newsie, and damn, if he wasn’t good at it. he was persistent, and stubborn, but would persuade you with a smile. and then he’d somehow manage to get more money than everyone else doing it? like there were kids crying, pretending to be sick, and faking limps and broken bones, and there’s jojo. tipping his hat at you and grinning while his pockets were FULL.

not only that, sir keeps his money. he doesn’t spend it on the races, or games, or debts. no, no, jojo is planning on being RICH. does he know what his occupation will be? no. how he’ll make more money? nope. if he’ll have to provide for other people? nah. either way, he’s going to be loaded, and anything less is a failure.

another thing is that jojo’s kind of known for saying the most out of pocket things with absolutely zero context provided. obviously, this makes sense considering who he’s friends with. but when you look at him, your first thought is not about the time he decided to inform everyone that he once stole everyone’s rosaries at the cathedral during mass because he was bored. no, you think this man is one of the normal ones.

and oh, how wrong you’d be.

also, he totally flirts with morris just to get into his head. just saying.

Josephino Jorgelino de la Guerra my beloved ❤️

[skyblue-ringpops]

My Modern Jojo De La Guerra HCs!

His full name is Jorgelino Josephino De La Guerra.

His parents were killed in a plane crash, so he was taken in by his aunt, who is a retired nun.

He’s very mischievous.

He loves pulling pranks with Smalls.

He’s very unsuspecting, so he can easily get away with causing trouble.

He insists his biological parents were extremely wealthy and strives to get that back, but now lives in poverty.

He was raised Catholic, but isn’t religious himself.

He has a crush on Smalls, but is afraid to admit it.

He won't turn down a dare.

Josephino Jorgelino De La Guerra I will protect you at all costs

I love how when Newsies fans are picking their favorite characters, they don't go for the well fleshed-out, main focus characters with clear personalities and a lot of screen time. They point to Random Background Newsie #37 who had one (1) line and a maybe singular mention by name (maybe not even) who takes up about 2 pixels in the back of the screen and has one minute of screen time tops and go "That one, I want that one".

[a-chain-to-twirl-it]

is your name actually JoJo?

Well, not exactly, but it ain't far off.

My names actually Josephino Jorgelino De La Guerra, but that's a bit of a mouthful, y'know? Henry called me JoJo once for easiness, and it just sorta stuck!
