Joy Cherrysnow/Tropes

Tropes that apply to Joy Cherrysnow, written as if it were a TV Tropes page.

## Characterization and background

* **Kiddie Kid**: Despite being 14, she acts quite immaturely.
* **Genki Girl**: Joy is usually quite energetic and loves having fun.
* **Sweet Tooth**: She LOVES candy and other sweets. Her wish is to even be immune to the negative health effects of excessive sugar consumption, so she can eat as much as she wants without being at risk of becoming fat, diabetic, or getting cavities.
* **Girly-Girl**: Despite her favorite color being cyan, Joy is definitely a Girly-Girl.
* **Meaningful Name**: In the English dub, her name is "Joy," fitting her happy-go-lucky personality.
* **Shipper On Deck**: She often ships Victoria and Arcturus, much to their absolute fury.
* **Zany Scheme**: Joy tries to set up a date for Victoria and Arcturus in "Joy's Goof-Off Day," only for it to backfire horribly.
* **Unwitting Instigator of Doom**: She ends up causing Victoria to witch out in "Joy's Goof-Off Day" when her well-intentioned attempt to set up a date for Victoria and Arcturus just ends up humiliating them further and causes the former to make her her primary target as a witch.
* **Camera Abuse**: After transforming for the first time, she gets so excited over her new powers that she flies right into the camera, cracks it, and comically slides down it with her cheeks smooshed against the camera.
* **Squee!**: This is her reaction to transforming for the first time.
* **Big Stupid Doodoohead**: She often uses childish insults like "meanie," "turdwipe," and "cottoncandyhead."
* **Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!**: She is very easily distracted.
* **Shout-Out**:
	+ Her witch form, Gelato Viziato, is very clearly a *Pac-Man* reference. Like Pac-Man, she is a yellow sphere who can eat anything in sight. Her arms are also segmented and the segments are colored and shaped like Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde.
	+ In "Arcadia and the Aura User," she jokingly introduces herself to Aaron and Arcadia as "Joy Cherrysnow, the last icebender and milkbender." This references *Avatar: The Last Airbender.*
* **Skip of Innocence**: She sometimes girlishly skips, often while singing.
* **Incessant Music Madness**: Sometimes, she'll loudly sing about something and just won't shut up.
* **Loon with a Heart of Gold**: Despite her annoying and childish nature, she truly cares about her friends and doesn't mean any malice.
* **Snowball Fight**: In "Helping the Destiny's 6," she joins in the Destiny's 6's snowball fight that is caused by them arguing, only for a furious Victoria and Quilina to drag her out of it.
* **Kill the Cutie**: Joy is sweet, happy, and fun-loving... and got murdered by Arcturus, along with her teammates, during the Arcturus's Heresy event.
* **Wedding Vow Awareness**: She seems to be aware of the off-screen wedding vows that Victoria and Arcturus had, as seen when she gushes over them kissing.
* **Well-Intentioned Extremist**:
	+ Her intentions are pure when trying to set up a date for Victoria and Arcturus, since she is trying to do something nice for them, but she only ends up angering them.
	+ The Goh:ARPG counterpart of her attempts to steal the Pearl of Transformation from Seaquestria and ends up infuriating the queen and getting the group turned back to normal and kicked out. However, she only wants to steal it so she can turn the three Guardians who are corrupted back to normal, despite being terribly misguided.

* **Child-Like Voice**: Despite being 14, her voice is high-pitched and sounds like Pinkie Pie, representing her energetic and childish personality.
* **Womanchild**: In GoH48, despite being in her 30s, Joy *still* acts quite childish.
* **Runni g Gag**: Her shipping Victoria and Arcturus. She learns her lesson after causing both Victoria and Arcturus to witch out, but then breaks her promise to never speak of it again.

## Appearance

* **Power Dyes Your Hair**: A more drastic example than most. In her Guardian of Harmony form, her hair changes from bright red to light cyan with pink streaks.
* **Girlish Pigtails**: She wears her hair in two pigtails tied at the ends.
* **Color Motifs**: Cyan. Both her civilian outfit (besides the dark blue garment) and her Guardian outfit have a cyan color motif, while her Harmony Gem and magic aura are also cyan, though it is a slightly lighter and greener shade than Arcturus.
* **Eye Color Change**: Her eyes change from green to pink in Guardian form.
* **Expy**:
	+ Joy is adapted from the *Adventurers of Harmony* counterpart of her, whose alter ego is Angel Sherbet.
	+ The *Adventurers of Harmony* Joy is in turn adapted from the *Magical Heart Angelix* character Nijiyama Fuyuka/Angel Sherbet, who has the same physical appearance as her but lives in modern times instead of 2,000 years before the present-day.
	+ The *Magical Heart Angelix* character was ultimately adapted from her creator's old Pretty Cure OC named Nijino (no relation to Elizabeth) Fuyuka/Cure Sherbet.

## Abilities

* **An Ice Person**: She has ice powers as her primary power and can shoot blasts of ice and blizzards of snow.
* **Food-Based Superpowers**: Besides her ice powers, Joy's powers also revolve around around dairy products such as milk, ice cream, and cheese.
* **Improbable Weapon User**: Her Guardian weapon is an ice cream scoop.
* **Spikes of Doom**: She has created sharp ice spikes in battle a few times, which can *impale* enemies if they're not careful.
* **Mundane Utility**: Untransformed, she often uses ice spells to keep food fresh since fridges don't exist.

## Relationships

* **Vitriolic Best Buds**: Despite being annoying and immature, the others still care about her.
* **Title Characterization**: Aoha and Arata refuse to use "-senpai" for Fuchsia despite her being 4 years older than them since she is quite immature and doesn't act like she's older than them.
* **Heterosexual Life-Partners**: With Gura.
* **Token Angel**: In terms of wing style, she and Princess Ellis are the only members of the team to have feathered angel-style wings.
