Joy is the engine of Riley's Mind and HQ. She keeps everyone moving about and happy, Joy’s goal has always been to make sure Riley stays happy. She is lighthearted, optimistic, and determined to find the fun in every situation. Joy sees challenges in Riley’s life as opportunities, and the less happy moments as hiccups on the way back to something great. As long as Riley is happy, so is Joy..

but now after the whole Anxiety and New emotions, she learned that Every emotion counted after her long journey, she was the first emotion afterall, then Sadness was the second, and then fear, Anger and Disgust, and that Riley's sense of Self had to be on its own and let Riley be.. Riley! Joy was definitely the one to be welcoming and understanding as best she could be but she had her moments too just like the Rest.

"Today is gonna be GREAT! Who's with me!"
