## Biography

### Early Life

Jocelyn was born to David and Lydia Royce in Chicago, and her parents always said she was the sweetest child they had ever seen. She'd bring her mother flowers and make drawings with pens from her father's desk, and the fridge was always covered with little crafts she made. Whenever one of her siblings were sick, she'd take extensive care of them and would stop anything she's doing to make sure they recover.

After homeschooling until sixth grade, Jocelyn first went to school locally. Unfortunately, she was bullied quite a bit for being a homeschooler, called a "hermit" and a "weirdo." Despite all the negativity, she managed to make a few friends: Thalia and Ezra. The three of them hung out together relentlessly, and promised to each other to never forget each other as long as they lived.

Thalia, Ezra, and Jocelyn went to high school together, and even though they added a few people to their friend group, the three of them stayed practically inseparable. Thalia and Ezra would defend Jocelyn from bullies and other nefarious people, Ezra and Jocelyn would help Thalia keep her cool and have some fun, and Thalia and Jocelyn made sure Ezra took things seriously and wasn't goofing off all the time. Jocelyn had the sneaking suspicion that Ezra had a crush on Thalia, so she set the two of them up while she went with another friend. Instead of getting jealous of Thalia, Jocelyn congratulated the two and encouraged them.

### Becoming a Watcher

#### Death and Resurrection

Jocelyn went to Lake Michigan with other friends from school. She waded into the water and started swimming out into deeper water, thinking the other girls were behind her. She was caught by an underwater current and dragged under the surface. Trying to breathe, she was forced down again and again until she was drowned. Her body was reported by her friends, her parents informed, and her funeral was held a week later.

Jocelyn discovered her powers while out buying groceries. A man's appendix burst while she was waiting in line to check out, and he fell to the floor. Without thinking, Jocelyn rushed to his side and placed both hands right above his appendix, and healed him within a few minutes. After the man was sent to the hospital, she headed straight home in disbelief.

Later, Jocelyn discovered a deer injured on the side of the road as she was driving to meet Thalia and Ezra at the theater for a movie. The doe had a gash on its side, presumably from a car that had hit it while the doe was attempting to cross. Jocelyn placed her hands over the wound and healed her again within minutes, and watched in shock as the doe reunited with her fawn and disappeared into the forest.

She at first decided not to mention anything to Thalia and Ezra, but when she found out that Thalia and Ezra had discovered certain supernatural skills of their own, she revealed her experiences. Later, the three killed their first demon after it tried to murder a young couple: Ezra manipulating the metal in a nearby bicycle to cut the demon, Thalia using a sound blast to disorient it, and Jocelyn portaling a dumpster to fall on its head, crushing it.

Later, they stumbled upon Aaron in downtown Chicago, who informed them of their role as Watchers.

## Personality

While Thalia is a bit more of a tomboy, Jocelyn enjoys shopping and making outfits. She prides herself in looking presentable every day no matter the occasion. She’s kind, caring, selfless, generous, and affectionate, always making sure everyone is okay before worrying about herself. She’s always available to have a discussion about someone’s personal emotions, and won’t judge anyone over how they feel. She can be naïve at times, and is vulnerable to easy manipulation. Luckily for her, she has Thalia and Ezra to make sure she doesn’t fall prey to anyone who has anything less than Jocelyn’s best interests in mind.

She also has a crush on Elijah, thinking he's responsible, honest, hardworking, intelligent, and also quite good-looking.

## Items

* **Bow and Arrows:** Jocelyn carries a bow and quiver filled with arrows at all times. She and Isabelle have the same Blessed bow and quiver, so they never run out of arrows and never miss their target. Jocelyn's arrows are light pink, emitting a rose-colored hue when fired.
* **Water from the Garden of Eden:** Jocelyn was given a vial of Blessed Water from Eden by Archangel Uriel when she appeared to her after her "death" and told her she was a Watcher. Jocelyn keeps the vial around her neck on a chain, and swore to only use it for emergencies.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Portals:** Jocelyn can create portals, colored pink, so long as she has a general idea of what her destination is. The larger the portal, the more energy it requires, and Jocelyn needs time to recharge between creating portals.
* **Illusions:** Jocelyn can create illusions, so long as she doesn't lose focus and envisions what she wants her opponent/target to see. If she loses focus or the image in her head is lost, the illusion will not work either.
* **Mimicry:** Jocelyn can mimic other people's voices, but in order to mimic someone's voice she has to have heard it before.
* **Healing:** Jocelyn can heal other people, but it's limited to wounds from mortal weapons and some injuries from angelic and demonic sources. The worse the injury, the longer the healing process, and the more energy it takes for Jocelyn to heal the wounded person.

## Weaknesses

* **Thalassophobia:** Due to her death by drowning, Jocelyn developed a fear of the ocean and rarely ever goes open water swimming. She's okay with pools, though.
