**Jocelyn Fowler (Nee: Hibillton)** is a Minie currently living on All Boro Island with her husband and her two grown children. She's a loving, gentle, sweet friend, wife, and mother who only wants the best for those she loves. Despite having a troubling past with her mother and older sister, she's learned more about being generous and caring to others from her father, whom she's very close to.

## Personality

She's sweet to her friends, somewhat protective (to a certain degree) of her children, very passionate towards her husband as well as the things she loves to do. She adores helping out around the island. She's very selfless, volunteering her time to various places around the island on top of operating some of the rides at the amusement park. She tends to be quiet, even when she's wronged or has something to say, she'd rather be the peace-keeper during fights... though she has snapped at her mother and her sister at one point.

On the other hand, Jocelyn gets easily jealous. Chris told her of an old crush back in middle school on a girl who moved away. Chris found out of Jocelyn's jealousy when the couple ran into the girl on All Boro, who was looking for Chris.

## Backstory

She was born the younger of two daughters to Frida and Eddie. At first, things were just fine. While Frida showed obvious signs of favoritism against Jocelyn, she wasn't neglectful until Jocelyn was about 3 or 4, when Frida felt as if she was growing too needy. Thankfully, Jocelyn's father and even her sister were very attentive to her needs and wishes.

Frida's neglect wasn't even more obvious when it came to Jocelyn's birthdays. Jocelyn, being exactly 3 and a half years younger, had to watch her mother celebrate Mel's half-birthday with cake, presents, and a party. Even if her dad and sister got her a present, her mother would take it away or return it herself as Jocelyn was being "too greedy."

Jocelyn would have to fight for her spot in her own family, as Frida would do whatever it took to try and forget ever having a younger child. What broke Jocelyn's heart most was that over the years, she began noticing her sister changing. Eventually, Mel would be grateful for her mother's attention, and call Jocelyn selfish and ungrateful about how she was "taught independence early." Jocelyn would continue her early years and her teenage years with this type of dynamic. When Mel left to travel, Jocelyn was given the brunt of the anger, with her mom believing she had talking Mel into running away somehow. Eddie, however, made sure Jocelyn knew she was loved and cared for.

Jocelyn turned 18, graduated high school, and immediately moved out into her own apartment. She invited her dad for a 'housewarming party' and when a knock came to the door, she opened it expecting her dad... but saw Chris instead. Jocelyn happily invited him in, and the two talked for hours, including Jocelyn's dad while he was there, and even continued into the night after he left. They got to know each other well, talking about the brief moments they would interact in high school, what Chris's life is like (on an island away from his parents, living with Nova and Jeremy, and being treated like he's one of their own) and basically catching up. Jocelyn admitted to a crush she had on him in high school but felt as if she had no chance, especially with her mother. She joked how her mom would most likely attempt at getting him with her sister just to spite her. Chris felt horrible about her treatment, offered her out to lunch... his plan the whole time.

Their first date, the subsequent dates after that, and eventually a confirmation that they were a couple were the beginning stages of what would be a close bond and marriage for the two. Chris proposed after a year while they were in the park in the middle of the night. She happily accepted, they married a few months later and welcomed a healthy little girl into their family just under a year later. Three years later, they welcomed a little boy and loved both of them equally. They grew up, with Carie marrying and enjoying a simple life, to Chase having a daughter unplanned before marriage (something he was afraid to admit to his parents, who were nothing short of supportive and helpful.) Jocelyn speaks to her father often on the phone, as he had left All Boro to start a new life after divorcing Jocelyn's mother. Mel sometimes finds herself on Jocelyn's doorstep to chat, but Jocelyn doesn't say a word to her. And Frida? Jocelyn hasn't seen her since her wedding.

## Relationships

### Chris Fowler

Jocelyn and Chris are very close. Chris is supportive of Jocelyn's decisions when it comes to how she handles her mother and sister, and he stands by her side when she runs into Mel. While Chris isn't one to get himself into trouble, whenever he does, he vents to Jocelyn, who always tells him that she'll listen and offer a shoulder to cry on. Chris also notes how Jocelyn seems to be more active, chatty, and louder around him, especially when she's happy.

### Carie Locklin

Carie is Jocelyn's oldest child and only daughter. While Carie was an only child (before Chase) Jocelyn admits to going overboard with the spoiling, getting her everything she wanted (almost) and making sure her daughter knew she was loved. Chris wasn't a fan of the spoiling, but at least understood why Jocelyn was this way. To this day, Jocelyn still holds her dear, even knowing the rift she has with her brother, she loves her daughter very much, always including her.

### Chase Fowler

Chase is Jocelyn's youngest child and only son. One thing Jocelyn was afraid of while pregnant with Chase, was that she would unconsciously turn into her mother. If she'd neglect her second child, or if she'd more importance on it over her oldest because her mother didn't care for her youngest at all. This was Jocelyn's panic throughout her pregnancy, despite Chris assuring her over and over that they would work this out together. Chase was born and Jocelyn fell in love right away. She even saw Carie grow closer as the seconds passed. Her panic was gone. She treated both of her children fairly, loving her son to no end just like her daughter. With the bond they have, Jocelyn (and Chris) were accepting and helpful to Chase when he finally admitted that he was having a child with his girlfriend, and he was terrified.

### Eddie Hibillton

Jocelyn's father was the only family Jocelyn had that didn't turn on her. While her sister was caring when she was little, Eddie was the only one who stood up for Jocelyn anytime past her middle school years. Eddie was there when Jocelyn went to the school proms with her friends, he was there for every high school drama and issue, for every study session and homework question, and was there as one of Chris's groomsmen at their wedding. Eddie constantly apologizes for making Jocelyn endure her mother's neglect, afraid that if he divorced her, she'd get custody and Jocelyn would continue to suffer. Jocelyn never held that against him and is currently one of Jocelyn's best friends.

### Frida Gomez

Jocelyn's mother, while showing obvious signs of favoritism, did the basic motherly duties with Jocelyn while she was an infant. Diaper changes, feeding, burping, bedtimes. But as Jocelyn's got older, Frida just stopped. She got worse, making sure Jocelyn knew that she hated her. She would openly give Mel gifts, make sure Jocelyn watched as she literally cut Jocelyn out of family photos with a pair of scissors, or scribbled her out with a marker. Some days, they'd have family photos done without telling Jocelyn, so pictures of a family of 3 as well as Mel only, were hung around the house for Jocelyn to be constantly reminded of her disappointment. Frida attended Jocelyn's wedding (Jocelyn invited her as a shown of good faith... regretting it entirely) only to brag about Mel, and how Mel was the one who should've married Chris... Jocelyn didn't hear this but noticed both her mom and sister had left without a goodbye. Jocelyn hasn't talked to her mother since.

### Melanie Hibillton

Melanie was Jocelyn's closest friend and sweetest sister when they were little. Melanie would make sure Jocelyn was front and center in photos or gatherings so she could be included... but as the years past, Mel would grow distant from Jocelyn, more understanding her mother's treatment, and even partaking in Jocelyn's abuse. Mel will sometimes come across Jocelyn around All Boro, or actively try and talk to her by approaching her home, but every time Jocelyn would ignore her... the day Jocelyn cut her off entirely was the day Mel grew annoyed and actually attempted at offering Chris to run away with her... didn't work and now the both of them hate her beyond any reason.
