**Joy Garmadon** is a female Oni/Dragon/Human Hybrid who became a member of the Secret Ninja Force and the Ninja Team dedicated to the protection of Ninjago from any possible threats. Despite being the granddaughter of the First Spinjitzu Master, Joy lacked an elemental power, and thus often viewed herself as a liability since the other members of the ninja, including her brother, had an elemental power. Despite this, she played many important roles in any conflict on the side of good.

Born in 16 BDI, Joy was the firstborn child of Lord Garmadon and Misako and eventually had a younger sibling named Lloyd Garmadon, who was born in 14 BDI.

## Biography

### Early Life

Joy was born in 16 BDI as the daughter (and the first-born child) of Lord Garmadon and Misako. The soon-to-be dark lord and Misako loved his daughter. Three years later, Lloyd was born to Garmadon and Misako. The family was happy until Garmadon lost control of the growing evil within him, and was banished to the Underworld after his plans to possess the Golden Weapons to create the world in his own image was thwarted by Wu. She was the only member of the family to not possess an elemental power, which she viewed as a disadvantage and a liability at times.

## Personality

Joy is a kind-hearted individual. She is honest, passionate, and cares about the people she holds dear.

For the most part, she is a level-headed, strong-willed, and independent individual. She also has a sassy, wisecracking and dry wit attitude, but that only happens when she is with Lloyd, Jay, and her friends. Joy is a determined person and stubborn. Unwilling to back down even if the odds are stacked against her. She is also very intelligent. She can be a bit sarcastic, as when she commented on Zane's theory of the Time Twins being from another reality at another point in time.

Because of the fact that she doesn't possess any elemental power, she experiences high levels of self-loathing and doubt, as she often feels useless and inferior to the rest of her team.

## Appearance

Joy has long tousled orange hair, black eyebrows and wears orange lipstick. Her eyes are black, unlike her brother's, this could be due to her powers not being as strong as his.

She generally wears purple clothing, since it is her favorite color. But she wears other different colors of clothing. Her civilian outfit mainly includes a purple leather jacket with silver linings that she keeps zipped up and black pants.

## Powers and Abilities

Unlike her brother, Joy lacks any elemental power. But her Oni-Dragon-Human heritage and combative skills do more than makeup for it.

* **Longevity**: Like all Oni and Dragons, Joy is able to live for an extended amount of time. But they are not immortal and are capable of dying. More accurately, Joy ages at a slower pace than humans, although she is more human due to inheriting the gene from her mother and grandmother and is more susceptible to physical harm.
* **Oni Blood**: The Oni blood within Joy allows her to cope with environments that are plagued with Oni. Other Oni are able to sense the Oni blood within her and vice versa.

* **Dragon Blood**: Despite sharing Human and Oni blood, Joy contains Dragon Blood within her, which makes dragons become docile around her more quickly than with humans and less hostile than with Oni.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Joy is able to withstand higher levels of pain and injuries than a normal human.
