**Joy Johnson-Johjima** is the leader of the Coven, and one of the main love interests of Monster Camp.

## Appearance

Joy is a human witch with fair skin and a curvy build. She has straight black hair and green eyes. Her nails are the same color as her eyes.

Joy wears a dark colored romper and dark stockings. She wears dark purple combat boots, and has several gold bracelets on. She wears a see through cover-up on top, with the train extending to her feet.

Joy's camp outfit is a black sleeveless crop top, black shorts, sheer stockings, and black sneakers.

## Role

### In *Monster Prom*

Joy appears in *Monster Prom* as a minor NPC along with Faith Fernández and Hope Halko as the collective Coven. She has one romanceable secret ending.

### In *Monster Camp*

Joy appears in *Monster Camp* as one of the game's six main love interests.

## Stat Requirements

### *Monster Camp*

The game's built-in guide (available to purchase in the Meta-Shop) states, "Joy is a woman who knows what she likes. She values someone who has a plan to fight against evil...and someone who'd dare to do it alongside her! But the truth is, she also has a weakness for...sexy people."

Joy likely replaces Vera in *Monster Camp* as the only love interest with three stat requirements, most likely being Smarts, Boldness, and Charm.

## Relationships

* **The Coven**: The Coven fights evil in a constant attempt to protect humankind (and monsterkind) from its demise. They have a hard time at Spooky High, where almost everyone seems to lack any kind of moral compass. Even if they're minor characters in *Monster Prom*, they're the protagonist of their own TV show... because in a way, even the least important people in our lives are still the stars of their own stories!
* **Dmitri**: Dmitri is Joy's current enemy/lover.
* **Valerie Oberlin**: Valerie and Joy, along with Faith and Hope, are good friends.
* **Axarax**: Joy's ex-lover, and who the Coven had defeated "back in Season 3."
* **Salomé**: Joy's ex-girlfriend, who was defeated by the Coven in the Season 5 Finale. Salome still holds feelings for Joy, and feels jealousy towards any of her other partners.
* **Gerard**: Joy's ex-boyfriend.
* **Aaravi Mishra**: Joy and Aaravi were friends before camp. It's not that they're besties, but they're both good friends with Valerie, so they've met before and they like each other. Since they're both heroic archetypes of a sort, they bond over the tropes they have to deal with in their day-to-day lives. So instead of sharing beauty tips, they share tips on how to vanquish evil creatures and how to properly save the world. They respect each other very much, as they can both see how the other is brave, strong, and determined.
* **Dahlia Aquino**: In *Monster Camp*, Dahlia repeatedly asks to join the Coven, to which Joy repeatedly declines, citing her lack of magic and the innate rule that the Coven can only consist of three members. Despite Joy's annoyance with Dahlia, she still ultimately cares about her and sees her as a friend. Joy and Dahlia, along with Damien, are in a band called *Exorcism Placenta Ventagram* together.
* **Calculester Hewlett-Packard**: Calculester and Joy are two of the only people who prefer things to be genuinely nice, so they enjoy each other's company. When they're together, they can be sure that, for once, there will be no ethically dubious shenanigans. And that's a nice change of pace. Because of this, when they're together they like to engage in more peaceful, danger-free activities... like going on picnics or solving crossword puzzles!
* **Damien LaVey**: As of *Monster Camp*, Damien and Joy, along with Dahlia, are in a band called *Exorcism Placenta Ventagram* together. Similar to how Dahlia wishes and repeatedly asks Joy to be a member of the Coven, Damien repeatedly requests to be its next Big Bad enemy.
* **Liam de Lioncourt**: Liam is a former enemy of the Coven who eventually allied with them after seeing the error of his evil ways. He and Joy previously shared a romantic relationship, but later had a mutual and amicable breakup.

## Trivia

* Joy's full name is Joy Johnson-Johjima.
	+ Her surname was originally announced as Johnson-Junpei in the Monster Camp love interest trailer, but was later changed.
		- This change was due to the fact that Junpei is not a real Japanese surname. Mihail confirmed in the offical Discord server that "it was a mistake and we thought it was a bit culturally insensitive."
	+ Her full name may be a reference to the popular anime *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*, where each of the various protagonists' names can be shorted to some form of 'JoJo'.
		- She also has Joestar star-shaped birthmark at her back, it can be seen in Monster Camp credits.
	+ Appropriate to her surname, Joy is half-Japanese.
* According to Univertica Junior, Joy's favorite color is purple.
	+ Joy's favorite color is the only one that does not represent another member of the Coven.
* When given the opportunity to have a genie grant their wish, Joy suggests getting a weapon to slay the Big Bad of the season.
* Joy is vegan.
* The ship names for Joy with either Liam or Dmitri are "Jiam" and "Jmitri", respectively.
* Joy is the only student in the school without a thigh gap.
* Joy is the first female love interest in the game to have a different body shape from the main female characters. This gets lampshaded in her secret ending in Monster Prom.
