Overview[]
Official Website[]
Joy loves creepy-crawlies and sometimes forgets that not everybody else does… She also loves to cheer on her friends, but she’s as likely to encourage their BAD ideas as their good ones!
Nickelodeon[]
Living up to her last name, Joy loves all types of insects, and she has an appetite for spider burgers and mosquito omelettes. Bonus: she can turn herself (and others) into frogs using her unique brand of magic. And in the true fairytale tradition, Joy needs a kiss to change back from amphibian to human. Pucker up!
Appearance[]
She has turquoise bob-styled hair with a magenta frog-shaped hair accessory, light green eyes, and wears purple eyeshadow. Her uniform consist of a dark pink and yellow trimmed tank top over a white puff sleeve shirt, a yellow and black striped necktie, a pair of tricolored bracelets on both her wrists, a mini frog backpack strapped around her waist, a pair of green pants, loose purple and magenta socks with a yellow flower attached on her right sock, and a pair of purple ankle boots.
Personality[]
The sweet, good-natured granddaughter of the Frog Prince, Joy makes it a point to be the supportive friend she knows she is. She's adventurous, though a bit timid at times, and is usually up for anything. The only problem is that she can't decide what is good or bad, so she goes along with most of her friends' choices. Always positive, and tries to look on the bright side of things. Since she is part frog, Joy loves her froggy cousins and acts like a frog – she often snacks on bug-filled food, and even her daily accessories are frog-themed! Joy is never bothered by stinky smells, having gotten used to the stink that is present in her swamp home. She has a frog curse that makes her randomly poof into her frog form, though it usually happens when she's feeling extreme emotions like fear, happiness, excitement or anger. Sometimes her friends are grossed out by her habit of eating creepy-crawlies in public.
Joy is kind and a general peace-maker, preferring to make friends instead of enemies and believes that fighting is a last resort in any situation. She is knowledgeable about nature, having the ability to understand frog and bug language and identify all the magical plant species growing at Regal Academy. She loves animals, often discouraging her friends from attacking any creatures, insisting that they are friends, even when they attack the team. Out of everyone in the team, Joy is the most patient, and able to befriend wild animals.
