Personality: An optimistic, upbeat girl that's quick to befriend and stand up for her friends once she makes them. Growing up in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a traveling show has made her extremely open minded. Perhaps too open minfrf as she doesn't judge on appearances even when it might be wise. Joy loves to make people laugh and tries to defuse tense situations with humour, even if its gallows humour. Sometimes she doesn't know when to get serious and commits practical jokes habitually, but never aims to hurt her targets. Unlike most jokers, Joy is just as quick to laugh at herself and enjoys a good prank even when she's the target. Being a performer has made her somewhat of an exhibitionist. She loves attention and really has little sense of modesty or personal privacy though she does get emotional boundaries. Her "family" of carnies was close and no one was judge on their background before joining the group. Growing up in a world where "freaks" and "normal" people lived in harmony has given her a unique insight on the conflict between humans and mutants and she doesn't see why it can't work on a larger scale.

 

History: Being born with obvious physical mutations (Pure white skin and harlequin like facial markings) wasn't such a big problem for Joy. Considering she born into a traveling carnival and side show. Her powers manifested early, but she found accepted among the carnie folk as one of their own. In fact her rubbery and nearly indestructible body combined her extroverted nature made her a natural for the show as a clown and acrobat extraordinaire. When she intervened and successfully prevented a hold up of the carnival ticket booth, Joy realized her abilities might be useful for something besides making people laugh and, with the blessing of her "family" set off to discover her destiny.
