## Background

### Official Description

Joshua James also known by his adoptive name, Joshua James Simpson-Ball is a 16-year-old British secondary school student. He is dyslexic. With the help of his amulet, he has powers based on the Chinese element, Fire and can transform into a spirit.

### Appearance

When he activates his powers, his pupils and irises disappear and glow orange. His sleepwear consists of a black shirt and black sweatpants.

## Etymology

(First name) Joshua is a given name derived from the Hebrew Yehoshua (יהושע‎), prominently belonging to Joshua, an early Hebrew leader of the Exodus period who has a major role in several books of the Bible. The name was a common alternative form of the name יֵשׁוּעַ‎ – yēšūă which corresponds to the Greek spelling Ἰησοῦς (Iesous), from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus.

(Middle name) The name James is a boy's name of Hebrew, English origin meaning "supplanter". James is an English derivation of the Hebrew name Jacob.
