Journal Entry
First Entry

''A bright, chess loving, young girl who just wants to live a happy life in peace with her friends. Sadly, fate has other plans for her...''

Appearance
Joy has long black hair with two small side braids tied with red ribbons and dark eyes. She wears a white, sleeveless, collared dress, a red tie, black school shoes and a red ribbon was tied to her left wrist.

During flashback cutscenes of when she was younger, her hair was tied into two long pigtails and wore a white blouse, black skirt, white socks and black school shoes.

Personality
Joy has a somewhat cheerful and outgoing presonality. She also shows to be very compassionate and sometimes rather clingy. She is easygoing and appeares to not have much of a care in the world. Like her sister, she has also shown to be a quick thinker and is very resourceful. She is also considerd to be very wise for her age by many adults.

She also shares most of the same values as her sister. In which she cherishes life and would live like every day was her last. She pities those who wish to die and despises those who wish to surpass death. But she does try to help them, though not to as an extreme length as Aria. She also doesn't like killing and anything violent. So she joined the fighting mostly because she was worried for Aria.

She is shown to be a people person and enjoys the bustling crowd. She is also shown to be severly claustrophobic, as seen when she was locked up in a dark cell when she was being held captive in the Land of Shadows.

She also cares very deeply for her sister and would do anything to protect her. Even to lengths such as submerge herself in darkness if she could or giving up her own heart to giving her life. She would even go to a length such as open Kingdom Hearts if it meant that Aria would be safe.

Story

Aria de Symphonie
Joy's relationship with her younger twin sister was very close. The fact they are near opposites doesn't change anything. Since they were children their parents were always away on work, resulting in their inseparable bond. Joy would give anything as long as Aria was safe.

Jason Tramp

And she knew that they were both clueless with what was happening, so she decided to help them realize their feelings. Though none of her plans have succeeded so far.

Seth
Joy has a somewhat small attraction towards her kidnapper. And he was the one person who kept her sane during the time of her captivity. And she also knew that he shared the same feelings as her.
