(Self Harm mention)

Princess **Joy Von-Koopa** is the adopted daughter of King Bowser Von-Koopa I, who ruled the Koopa Kingdom from the years 1943 to 1988.

### Appearance

Joy is a female Dragon-Koopa with yellow skin and a dark green head. She has magenta-colored hair (grey in her older appearance), which is styled in a mohawk. She wears black sunglasses, two spike bracelets, and a green shell.

### Personality

Joy has a very tomboyish nature, shown by her hair, her muscles, and her general personality. Being the oldest of her seven (adoptive) siblings, she often would pick on them when they were younger; however, she never bullied her siblings, crossed any lines, or picked on them if they were upset.

### History

#### Birth

Joy was born on the island of Tokyoshi (an island just south of the Koopa Peninsula) on May 27th, 1950. Her biological parents had a one-night stand while drunk. Since abortion wasn't legalized on the island until 36 years later in 1985, Joy's biological mother put her in an orphanage shortly after her birth. She was adopted in secret by King Bowser and Queen Claudia on November 20th, 1950, where she was revealed to the public as their "biological child that was kept as a secret".

#### Childhood

Joy was raised by King Bowser and Queen Claudia as their own. She lived a normal childhood for a Princess, going to private school and receiving high-class treatment. However, when she went to go practice her Magic, she did much worse than her younger siblings did. She was told she would get better and that she just had to keep trying (due to Joy's biological parents most likely having low levels of Magic). Despite this, Joy still felt confident that she would become next in line for the throne, and she never gave up.

#### Depression

After Joy failed her test to see if she had enough Magic to become her Father's heir in 1964, Joy got severe depression. This was not just because she wasn't going to become Queen, but more so that she thought she was unworthy and useless. Her depression continued to worsen to the point where she was giving herself self-harm scars. None of Joy's family members knew about her scars until Joy's sister, Morgan, discovered her scars and eventually figured out what was going on. Morgan wanted to make Joy feel better, so when it was her turn to take the test, she intentionally failed it and was denied the position as heir. After that, Morgan helped her sister by making her feel like she was not alone. This made Joy's depression slowly go away until it was undetectable.

The last time Joy gave herself any self-harm scars was in 1969, and she was officially declared free of depression in 1973.

#### Settling Down

Joy got married to her husband, Carl Lugo-Goff, on July 15th, 1976. The couple had four children: Prince Jake Von-Koopa (b. June 24th, 1977), Princess Hailey Von-Koopa (b. March 6th, 1979), Prince Cody Von-Koopa (b. August 29th, 1980), and Princess Triniti Von-Koopa (b. October 5th 1983).

### Trivia

* Joy is 6'4" (1.93 meters) tall and she weighs 262 pounds (118 kg).
* Joy was born as "Holly Lilah Pinecox", but when she was adopted, the King and Queen decided to name her "Joy" after Claudia's mother, Joyce DeBronz.
* There are two reasons why Joy has a mohawk:
	+ The first is due to her tomboyish nature;
	+ The second reason is due to her strong interest in punk when it became popular in the 1970s. She liked the music, phrases, and especially the hairstyles so much that she still refuses to move on from that era, even in the present day.
* Joy's adoption was revealed to the public in 2005, while the identities of Joy's parents were announced publicly in 2013.
	+ Joy found out who her parents were by searching through documents throughout hundreds of orphanages in the Kingdom until she found her own document. She figured out when she was adopted, and on the document, her parents' names were listed.
	+ Unfortunately, Joy's parents seem to have gone missing and haven't been seen since 2009. It is unknown where they currently are.
