22

**22** is the deuteragonist of *Soul*.

After Joe accidentally arrived at the Great Before, he seeks help from 22 to get him back to his body before it's too late.

While by Joe’s side, 22 learns what it means and feels like to be alive.

## Appearance

22's body is shaped like the other souls in The Great Before (besides Joe), like a light bulb. She is light aqua with faded pink cheeks, purple eyes and eyebrows, a buck tooth in her mouth, a tuft of hair on the back of her head, and no legs. However, she is able to form legs whenever she wants, as seen when dancing and running.

As a Lost Soul, in her first form, she still looks the same, but in navy and her eyes along her mouth become cyan, giving her a dark ghost-like appearance. In her second form, she grows a little taller and distorted and her hands become tentacle-like arms, she also gained legs. In her third and final form, she has only one cyan eye, she becomes even taller and more distorted, she gains a buck tooth, and the tip of her head vaguely resembles a Santa hat. She also has a hole on her chest where her Earth pass was after she threw it at Joe Gardner.

## Personality

22 is a soul with a snarky and cynical attitude.

She is not interested in having a life on Earth and would rather stay at the Great Before due to believing life on Earth to not be that great.

22 would even push her mentors away whenever they try to help her in finding her "spark" to complete her Earth badge.

22 also speaks in the voice of a "middle-aged white lady" just to annoy people and to keep them away from her.

When 22 meets Joe, she decided to have him help her complete her Earth badge and give it to him so she can skip life while finding the idea of Joe trying to get back to his body amusing as she believed his life to be sad and miserable.

When trying at the hobbies featured at the Hall of Everything, 22 showed no interest in any hobby as she already tried all of them before she met Joe.

She even claimed she was not a liar after she and Joe failed to fill out her badge at the Hall of Everything.

When she accidentally possessed Joe's body, she even tried to explain to some people that she was not Joe and his soul was actually inside the body of Mr. Mittens.

As 22 spent her time on Earth in Joe's body, she began to realize that life is not as boring as it seems due to only viewing what her mentors' lives were like and what kind of passions were being given out at the You Seminar.

22 found enjoyment in the small things in life whether they were good or bad such as eating delicious foods or getting yelled at.

As 22 experienced the little things in life, she revealed to Joe that her cynical, snarky attitude towards Earth was actually to cover how insecure she felt about herself, feeling she would not be a good human being if she were given a life.

When she got her Earth badge fulfilled and Joe told her she only completed her badge due to being in his body, 22 became depressed and decided she was not good enough for living that she allowed herself to become a lost soul where she was allowed moments of her mentors and Joe berating her to not be worthy of having a life.

However, when Joe came back to the You Seminar, he brought 22 out of her emotional turmoil and convinced she is worthy of having a life.

Joe's encouragement helps 22 overcome her insecurity, making her feel confident to start her own life on Earth.
