Alias Joey, JoJo

Fandom Star Trek

Birthday / Age 19 | April 21, 2247 (current to canon year: 2266)

Species Human

PB Lucy Hale

Sexuality Bi-sexual

Meek and mild most of the time, Joey will absolutely be a submissive type in the bedroom. She's currently a virgin, so she would probably be a very vanilla and sex-with-the-lights-off kind of girl; it doesn't help that she feels uncomfortable in her own skin, so being naked in front of another person for the first time is likely to be a highly stressful event for her, which is not to say she doesn't want to have sex, because she really does, but it'll be an awkward experience better shared with someone patient, understanding, and gentle. She'll probably be the type that wants to try everything at once, but her partner or partners will see pretty quickly that she has no experience and she's trying too hard. People with the ability to sense another person's emotions, for example, will notice that in spite of her carefully constructed calm demeanor, she'll be reeking of nervous anxiety. She'd be best suited for someone willing to take their time with her, but someone who's got a little more experience and would be willing to teach her new things and help her to explore her sexuality.

History

From the time she was a baby, Joanna — Joey, thank you very much — McCoy was the apple of her father's eye. He made sure that she knew it and even from the earliest memories she has, Joey favored her dad. Wanting to be just like him, she didn't play with dolls like the other little girls; she wasted rolls of gauze and medical tape to patch up injuries that weren't there. Instead of tea parties, Joey staged hospital rooms. And instead of Mommy's jewelry and high heels, Joey gravitated toward stealing Daddy's lab coat and stethoscope.

She didn't realize anything was wrong until she neared her seventh birthday. Daddy and Mommy stopped smiling so much and Mommy started yelling at Daddy more often. When Daddy wasn't around, Joey took the brunt of the rage she didn't understand. Oftentimes when he wasn't around, the messes left behind from pilfered medical supplies or Band-Aids stuck to the floors or walls which used to garner her a fond smile and a playful reprimand earned her an angry lecture and an order to go to bed without supper.

The day when Daddy sat her down and told her that he and Mommy just couldn't get along anymore and that he still loved her very much and he promised it wasn't her fault, but that he had to leave was probably the worst in her life. That happened when she was eight. It was also the day when Mommy became Jocelyn and Joey still refuses to refer to her mother as anything other than her first name to this day.

It was okay, at first, that Daddy left because she still saw him all the time, staying the night with him on the weekends when she didn't have school and talking to him on the phone every night to tell him all about her day. Though, the older she got, the more bitter she became. She grew to understand what was really going on between her parents and she learned all by herself to hate her mother. She blamed Jocelyn for Daddy's departure. Though her father was very careful not to say anything about Jocelyn that would paint her in an unfavorable light, Joey knew better. By the time she was eleven and Daddy went away with Starfleet, Joey started rebelling in her own ways. She'd started cussing and referring to Jocelyn as The Bitch to her friends at school. When she was twelve, after all the chaos of the attacks on Starfleet Headquarters, she moved off Earth to Centaurus to live with her Aunt Donna — Daddy's sister — and Uncle Fred. That was right around the time Daddy went off with Captain Kirk for a five-year expedition on the Enterprise.

Joey decided that she would continue to emulate her father in the ways she knew how. She insisted on being certified in CPR and infant CPR to pad her resume for babysitting. Joey didn't read young adult literature about silly romances like all of her friends; she surfed the internet to learn how to do stitches and to start deciding on colleges. She spent most of her tween years jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend and clique to clique, never really finding her niche with her classmates. She stopped speaking to her mother all together. High school became tedious and felt like nothing more than an obstacle keeping her from starting to chase her dream.

Senior year was a big one. Not only was it her last year of high school and she was pumped to start life as an adult, but it was the year Daddy was supposed to come back from the expedition. The night before he was due back, Joey packed a bag and cleaned her room three times to try and ease her anxious restlessness and when she finally fell asleep, it was the first time she'd felt that happy in years, knowing she was going to see her father again. They butted heads, mostly, and he wasn't around for long before having to go off on another trek, but she was due to start schooling at Starfleet Academy, anyway, so off she went. She's been there for four semesters (she's in the second semester of her second year), so she's not quite ready to graduate, but she's getting there. So far,she's earned a CNA, but is still working toward the RN license that would come with graduation.

Personality

Joey is highly ambitious. She can hardly stand the wait to finish school and move on to the becoming a registered nurse. She's very sociable, but at the same time, she's not terribly likable to those who don't persist enough to get to know her; she can be perceived as a whiner. Being guarded because she has trust issues stemming mostly from being brought up mainly by a mother she genuinely hates, Joey has a hard time making lasting friendships or relationships.

This particular teenager is highly dichotomous. She enjoys being around people, but you'd never know it from the thick sarcasm and apathy she exudes when she's in a social situation...or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, she can be very shy, as well. She can be arrogant, but it's mostly a facade, because she, like every other teenage girl, is secretly terribly insecure. Her father is away more often than not and yet she feels much closer to him than to her mother, with whom she spent the majority of her life. Not that that's saying much, considering she hates her mother. In reality, her closest parental figures are actually her Aunt Donna and her Uncle Fred. Joey doesn't trust easily, but she still aims to please, sometimes bending over backward to try to get a person to like and trust her when she's mostly unwilling to extend them the same trust she expects to gain. When someone does gain her trust, she's fiercely loyal to them.

She's incredibly intelligent, though not exactly a genius, and she tends to be a little cocky about it when the situation presents itself. Joey is thirsty for knowledge, especially medical knowledge, so even though she's too young to start working toward her dream, she's seldom found without her nose in a medical journal during her downtime. She's loud and opinionated, unafraid of expressing her opinions, almost reveling in having an unpopular opinion if only because she tends to feel so passionately about things that she not only enjoys a debate, but she secretly thrives on having what she feels is a legitimate reason to look down on someone if she thinks they're wrong.

In spite of her flaws, Joey is actually a really nice girl, if one sticks around putting up with her attitude long enough to get to know her. She's a normal teenager in that she enjoys normal teenager things like parties, hanging out with the few friends she's managed to keep, and talking about cute boys. It just takes someone with a thick skin and a lot of patience to get past the hard exterior she's built up to protect herself.

Special Abilities

No special powers, but Joey is certified in CPR and infant CPR and has been since she turned twelve, having wanted it on her "resume" to start babysitting. At this point in her life she is a certified nursing assistant and is still in school working toward her RNA.

Strengths

Medical expertise and a thirst for knowledge fuel Joey to be a quick learner and she can keep a cool head and a calm demeanor in the face of an emergency situation. Working helps her focus, so she's the person you want to call if there's a medical situation and people are freaking out; she'll quickly take charge of the situation and if she can't calm people down, she'll banish them from the vicinity so she can concentrate, so she's very take-charge when she's in her comfort zone.

Weaknesses

Mean girls? Things on high shelves? She's tiny, human (read: breakable) and insecure, so...those traits tend to work against her socially and if she was even in a situation that required a fight.

Plots

1. BFF — Someone filling this role would be able to to tolerate (and maybe even find endearing) her shy and awkward attitude. They would be beneficial to her in addition to their friendship if they could help her come out of her shell and learn to be a little more confident and self-assured. This person can either gender.
2. MENTOR — If someone else is a science person, especially if they're medically trained, I would love for them to sort of take her underwing and teach her the things she won't be able to learn in school now that she's on the Entity.
3. SHIP — Maaaaybe a romantic ship somewhere in the horizon? She's bisexual, so I don't even actually have a preference between a male or a female character, so long as they're age appropriate, the characters get along well, and we work up to it organically over time (I don't want an instaship, fuck that noise).
