"You made me drink piss?!?"
Joolushko Tunai Fenta Hovalis (played by Tammy MacIntosh) is a young Interion woman of remarkable academic achievement. She was awakened from stasis aboard the Leviathan Moya to discover that she had been frozen for 22 cycles, and if she hadn't been saved by Moya's crew, her organs would have been harvested and sold for transplants.
John Crichton coined the name "Jool", and though she resented it at first, it soon grew on her, as did he. Her arrival aboard Moya came with the loss of Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, and the crew, and fans alike were a little slow in accepting her.
While an intelligent young woman, Jool has led a sheltered life, and though she posesses a lot of knowledge, it was rarely practised before joining the crew who soon became her friends.
Jool comes from a peaceful star system, far away and before meeting Rygel, she had not known Hynerians existed, though Sebaceans are familiar to her. When frightened or nervous, her orange hair blazes red and her screams can melt metal, an ability which has come in useful.
The crew parted ways and Jool and D'Argo found themselves on Arnessk, where Jool became acquainted with other Interions and helped in their excavational dig. She helped John, D'Argo and Chiana to free the priests from 12,000-cycle-long sleep in suspended animation.
A scholar of Arnesskian history, Jool left Moya after over a cycle with the crew to follow her new destiny and help the priests adjust to the new life that lay ahead of them. Moya returned to Arnessk, followed by the Scarrens who deployed a weapon which destroyed the temple. Jool was inside and presumed dead.
