Stone Free

Stone Free is the Stand of Jolyne Cujoh and carries much of Stone Ocean. Standing close to its user's own height and shape, it wears green-tinted shades over vertically ridged eyes, with blade-shaped fins sweeping back across its head and truncated cones jutting from where ears would sit.

Snakeskin-patterned pads cap its shoulders while hexagonal guards sit at the knees, and stretches of its pale body open to show a fibrous, horizontally wound interior dotted with small evenly spaced bumps. The whole Stand is spun from string that feels like silk and reportedly carries the scent of soap. Most depictions color it cyan and leave the thread itself white, and Jolyne treats it as female despite the ambiguity in some panels.

Stone Free fights up close with the speed, precision, and force of a top-tier brawler, comparable to her father's Star Platinum, but its real breadth comes from string. Jolyne can unwind her own body into thread, usually starting at the hands, and steer it freely. When the string is packed tight, a single blow lands with roughly the impact of a tiny high-speed meteor, and it moves fast enough to swat away bullets.

The thread stays invisible to ordinary people, can cut flesh when yanked hard, yet snaps under too much strain unless she braids several strands into a sturdier cord. Gathering and meshing the string lets her mold the humanoid figure to fight in her place, though its reach then shrinks to about two meters. Unraveling around seventy percent of herself, she can stretch out to some twenty-four meters, bend into impossibly tight spaces, and rewind in an instant.

Her applications run wide: listening in on far-off talk through vibrations like a tin-can telephone, weaving a net dense enough to halt gunfire, snaring foes to drag or throttle them, lifting small items by touch, stitching her wounds shut, spreading a tripwire web to sense movement, swinging across gaps, and even folding affected skin into a Mobius loop to undo C-Moon's inside-out effect.

Jolyne Cujoh carries Stone Free, naming it for her wish to break free of the Green Dolphin Street Prison, the 'Stone Ocean' that holds her. As an integrated Stand, its power runs through her body itself, so unlike a purely external Stand she can physically touch and harm enemy Stands with her own woven thread.
