Plot Background
Jonas is a Revver/YouTube user who has left video comments on Bree's videos.
Jonas is an orphan and lives alone in what was his parents' house. In his video Happy Thanksgiving, Jonas disclosed that his parents were lost at sea 6 years ago while traveling along Longitude 140. He claims to have inherited a large house and a great deal of money.
Jonas offers Bree and Daniel help in the form of shelter and financial support.
Fan Suspicion
Fans remain largely suspicious of Jonas' motives in offering such generous support to Bree and Daniel. Fans note that Jonas initially only extended support to Bree, rather than to both Bree and Daniel. Moreover, Jonas's profile initially said that he both became a member and posted his first video "one week ago." Because he only became a member and showed interest in Bree when she was on the run from the Order, fans are suspicious that he may be connected with the Order.
This fan suspicion culminated in the Test, where Daniel asked registered members of lonelygirl15.com to contact GoodGollyItsHolly to pass on a recommendation whether to trust Jonas.
Etymology of Jonas
There are two possible derivations of the name Jonas:
- Jonas is the Latin derivation of the Greek form (Ionas) of the Hebrew name Jonah. It is widely presumed that Jonas's name is a reference to the Biblical Jonah, who was swallowed by a fish, because this would tie in to the story of his lost parents. For further discussion, also see the LGPedia article, Water Theme. Jonas is most widely used as a male name in German and Scandinavian cultures.
- Alternatively, Jonas is the Lithuanian variant of the English name John. John is derived from the Hebrew Johanas, which means "God is great," and which is the name of Biblical characters John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John the Evangelist.
- On YouTube and Revver, Jonas uses the name jonastko. The name is a reference to Jonas's boxing hobby. The letters T.K.O. are used in boxing as an abbreviation for "Technical Knock-Out."
