Description: Ready to take on the challenges of life and future, Jordan looks forward to a post-highschool existence. Recently however, he has felt that his circumstances are prohibiting him from growing. Despite this, Jordan always puts his loved ones first and, even if difficult, he’ll sacrifice anything for the betterment of his family and friends. His sister Joy is his best friend.

Joy loves people and people love Joy. Due to her kind nature and diverse interests she quickly gains the favor of anyone she meets. She’s always known how to dance the line between the cup half full approach and the annoyingly overly optimistic style, which has allowed her to find positivity in her circumstances and make the best out of situations without being naive. This outlook helps her be there for her friends when they need advice or comfort.
