Personality: Joy was born without memories and without the knowledge that he had emotions, due to the unusual nature of his birth. Because of this, he had no basis of any acting upon his birth. He simply followed the orders of whoever was close to him because it was the only obvious guidance he had, effectively making him very quiet, fragile, peaceful, forgiving and generous in personality. This led to his discovery of his ability to feel, as often times he found that blindly following his captors hurt others, something that made Joy feel responsible and guilty.
Joy often rebelled against his captors because of this guilt in favor of trying to redeem himself by helping someone, sometimes leading to him being extremely trustful, faithful and generous. Rebelling and constantly switching sides caused Joy's determination and drive to grow significantly from his first appearance. His more driven personality was put to good use, often going about in a Corridor of Darkness to help the stories' other protagonists.
Like Maaxi, Joy seems to possess true emotions, being a special and unusual Nobody. While most Nobodies pretend to have emotions by acting on the memories of their past lives in order to react to a specific situation, Joy had no memories of his past life, and thus had no basis for any acting.
Examples of Joy's emotional capacity are as follows:
He cares for Namine' as though she was his sister.
He feared for Maaxi's life when she was about to be killed by Xigbar, even going so far as to taking the hit for her.
He willingly threw himself between Maaxi and Xigbar to keep him from killing Maaxi.
He, showed genuine remorse and guilt for what he had done to
He laughed in amusement at Donald and Goofy's teasing comments and jokes about how Sora always acts around girls.
He was surprised and enraged when Marluxia used Namine' as a shield against Axel.
He angrily refused to destroy Maaxi even when threatened with death by Xigbar.
He began to cry after he was struck down by Xigbar.
He was willing to betray DiZ in order to assist Roxas and joined Sora's side.
He happily smiled at Maaxi, through Aaron, when Aima returned to White Rose Pavilion with Nafrini in the ending of Kingdom Hearts II.
He sees Ren as someone he can relate to and ends up falling in love with him.
He is very passionate when it comes to photography.
History: After Aima released her heart by using Ansem's Keyblade on herself to mend Aaron's heart, she inadvertently gave form to Joy at Castle Oblivion, where he, alongside Namine', were found by Organization XIII. In a secret movie known as "Bring Joy To Others...", a man in a black cloak gives a boy a white bag that has a instant camera, a blank photo album, a radio, a pair of white and gold headphones, and a CD. The boy puts the CD into the radio, and his theme song plays. The boy then takes a picture of a yellow rose sitting in a white vase and puts the picture into his album. The cloaked man then says, "Someday, your art will bring joy to everyone..."
In KH COM, Joy is a captive of the Organization. He resides with Namine' in the upper floors of Castle Oblivion. He watches Namine' alter Sora's memories in silent anger. When Marluxia uses Namine' as a human shield, Joy tries to fight her, but she throws him against a wall, causing him to slowly lose consciousness. Axel reappears sometime later, asking if he is alright, and helps him get up. He tells him that Namine' was saved by Sora. Joy, who sighs in relief, asks if there is anything else he can do. Axel says no and opens a Dark Corridor while picking up Joy princess style. It is implied that he himself took Joy to the Abandoned Mansion in Twilight Town.
In KH 358/2 Days, Joy meets Maaxi during the time he was allowed outside. Xahan is amazed at how talented he is at photography. Joy replies that he was practically "born" for it. Over the course of the year, Xahan and Joy interact without the other members noticing and become close friends. This mirrors the relationship that both Aaron and Aima have.
