Heh heh yeah....but Jolene sort of helps in 2 ways
1: mermaid sidequest. she sends a letter to jonnane and Jonnane out of gratitude gives you a gem.
2: when you (link and her fight after you(link)wins linebeck, being a coward and hiding in a box while link takes care of her, gives him ruppes starting at low then going higher.
hope I helped anyone.
