LIKES. playing the keyboards, dudes, photography, singing, writing, running, sex, drinking, baking, winnie's baking, loud music, the band, her brother, playing video games, star-gazing, snuggling, being picked up in a playful manner, pomegranates, chocolate, lollipops, bubblegum, birds, big sunglasses, sitting in her friends' laps, laughing, watching television, speaking in french, climbing trees, sleeping.
DISLIKES. that her brother and mother do/did drugs, drugs in general, smokers and the like, clowns, cats, that she sometimes has to calm winnie down, when winnie gets all over-protective on her, stupid posers, stupid disney channel stars, subway trains, not being able to drive, grape-flavored anything, sell-outs, coca-cola, bananas.
STRENGTHS. playing the keyboards, calming her brother down, smooth talking her way out of things, sarcasm, speaking in french, being 'above the influence', photography, being herself, running, baking, eating, getting her way, does being the only girl in an otherwise all-male band count?
WEAKNESSES. chocolate, being alone, subway trains, science, her full name, sometimes her brother, the idea of 'the one' or 'true love', the mention of her baby, she can't drive.
HABITS/QUIRKS. sitting in her guy friends' laps to pass the time, or when they are just hanging about. almost always has a lollipop or a piece of gum in her mouth. scrunches up her nose like a bunny rabbit when embarassed. runs when she's upset or annoyed.
FEARS. that her brother might die if he doesn't get complete control of his addiction. that winnie will find out about her baby, and that she got an abortion. being kicked out of the band, or winnie being kicked out of the band. subway trains, and never being able to get her driver's license.
SECRETS. she got an abortion three years ago. much like her brother, joey usually acts as if she doesn't need anyone to love her, but really she does.
FULL PERSONALITY.
• why you always wanna T E A S E me
joey cannot help it, though. it's like a natural thing, like a trigger. it just happens, and she cannot explain it. joey always seems to get away with that little perverted comment, or the very soft touch that makes you wonder if you fell asleep for a second. it is not something that she can stop, because it is almost second nature for her to make a small, barely noticeable perverted comment or an even less noticeable touch. joey is also known for sitting on her guy friends' laps when they're just hanging around, and for giving them a more-than-friends hug when really she just thinks of them as a best friend. she doesn't mean to be a tease, or to lead guys on. well, she doesn't mean to be one, all the time.
• sometimes it's F U N to be one of the guys
joey could never explain to you, and probably wouldn't explain to you if she knew, why it's always been easier for her to be around guys and tomboys - it just is. joey flirts, she teases, and she herself is very girly-girly (for the most part), but she has always fitted in with guys so much more. however, joey isn't a slut. that is one thing that she has always kept herself from becoming. she likes sex, yea, what kind of young adult doesn't, but she doesn't go around sleeping with every other guy she meets. she doesn't hang around her guy friends because they're all sleeping with her, she hangs around them because it's easier. like her being a tease, she can't explain this, but she knows that she just likes hanging with guys. maybe it makes her feel special, or maybe it's just part of her being the younger sister of winnie matthews.
• they say i'm C O C K Y
joey can get on people's nerves, she knows, and it's all because of her cocky attitude. it's not always a bad thing, necessarily, but it does get on people's nerves a hell of a lot of the time. if you tell her she's cocky she'll quote kid rock and say "it ain't braggin' motherfucker if ya back it up". fluent in both french and english, that's one or two if you count both languages, sweet-looking, that's another, a drummer with style, that's just another.. the list goes on and on in joey's head. but that's the thing, in her head. she's like a closet-case of cockiness because it's the way she moves and the way she answers questions that exude cockiness. she would never just rant on and on about how awesome she is, but she'd never disagree either.
• S P O N T A N E O U S the time to act is now
joey has always been a shocker, someone who you can't predict. except for in her favorites and her exercises, you will never be able to guess where she's going or what's she's going to say next. joey loves the mystery of it all, being spontaneous, and it's a great part of her life - being a rockstar and all. it's also a part of her looks, she looks like such a sweetheart, even with the hair, but she is cocky as hell and flirts as if she has been all her life (which, basically, she has).
• my S A R C A S T I C god
joey is very big into sarcasm and using witty remarks to answer peoples' questions. she has a biting tongue that she can use to lash right out at you, so you might want to be aware of her when she's around. that said, she does not have that big of temper, contrary to what you would think if you ever met her brother. joey is the calmer one, but she has still go sarcasm on her side. in the end, it really comes down to if you can keep up with her remarks, and if you are ever able to counter her she might just fall in love with ya.
• the S W E E T E S T taste of sin
joey is exactly that, a sweet sin - a clash of colours. she is friendly and of course looks very sweet, but at the same time she's living this rockstar life, leads guys on daily, and is a cocky ass. joey likes this though, she likes making people think she's some sweet girl next door when really if she sees a guy she wants she'll make damn sure she grabs him. even if that means grabbing him from right under your nose. when you talk of the seven deadly sins, you would think lust and pride for joey - those two fit the most, definitely.
• the S T U B B O R N one
joey is certainly very stubborn. if you ever get on her bad side you will have a whole buttload of nights sleeping with one eye open. she holds grudges, and she isn't easily swayed - the only people that seem to be able to budge joey's decisions are her brother and her bandmates, sometimes. if you bug her, but then later on you decide that you actually want to be friends with her - well you've got a lot of work to do, you're not going to have an easy time making her like you after you've annoyed her.
• you're the reason why i'm T H I N K I N G
you would think, wouldn't you, that a girl in a band couldn't be intelligent? well, you're wrong when it comes to joey anyway. when she was in school she took it seriously, from her first year of school in emo, ontario to her last year of high school in vancouver she studied hard. and joey can't stand people who can't hold an intelligent conversation, or who have a small vocabulary. they don't hold her focus, they aren't interesting - they are like barbie dolls where you can see the brain is in a seperate box. joey also likes to speak in french, which she learned in school, especially when no one can understand her, it's like swishing up being cocky and being intelligent into one well-mixed smoothie.
• everybody in the C L U B give me a run
joey simply loves dancing and clubbing, a part from the band and her music - it's pretty much her favorite pasttime. she's gotten extremely wasted before, and she's gotten sweaty on the dancefloor. even though she spends her time at the club, she is the least likely of people to pick a guy up at the club - she'll flirt, but she always does, she just won't be the one to go out and make out.
• you ain't never had a F R I E N D like me
once you are on joey's good side, once you are her friend - she will be the most helpful and loyal of friends. she will keep your secrets, no doubt about that, and will listen to all your worries even if she can't help very much. though she may be a bad influence, she can also be a good influence with somethings as well. she's a well-rounded gal, for the most part, and though cocky, would never dream of spilling any of her friends' personal secrets to anyone else.

"history starts now, or when i was born."
PARENTS.
ROGER CODY MATTHEWS, 44, ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST
"Daddykins.. No, I don't actually call him that.. He's a good father, although he is a little heavy on the environmental crap just like my mother, regardless he's always been there for Winnie and I. I guess that's what you need to most out of your father, right? Right."
VICKY MARIE MATTHEWS, 43, ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST
"Me wonderful mum. There are a few practices of hers that I completely disagree with, like the drugs for instance, but she has almost always been ready to lend a helpful hand. She adores animals, and turned father a three-sixty as far as I can tell and now has him preaching on saving the world as well. Wish she'd quit the drugs, though."
SIBLINGS.
WINTHROP ISAIAH MATTHEWS, 19, DRUMMER FOR VICTORY STORY
"Aw, I love my over-protective, drug-addicted, hot-tempered, yet adorable older brother. He's always been there for me, and even though it can sometimes get a tad overbearing, he always helps out when he can. I'm really happy we're in the same band together because it's just awesome! Just hope he gets off those drugs completely really soon.. Seriously."
BIRTHPLACE. Emo, Ontario. Moved to Vancouver, British Columbia when she was eight.
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. She has her fellow VS members, but other than that, no one at the moment.
CHILDREN. Joey got pregnant three years ago, when she was fourteen, but had an abortion because she really wasn't ready to be a mother.
PETS. The Matthews had a pet dog, when Winnie and Joey were just kids, but someone ran over said dog and they have it no more. Joey doesn't really want to get a pet, but she does love birds.
FULL HISTORY.
"So, now you want to become a full out stalker and know about my history, do you? Well, fine then, but don't say that I didn't warn you.. And you can perceive that however which way you wish to.
"I was born on December eleventh in the town of Emo. Yes, there actually is a town called Emo, it is in Ontario, Canada, and I was really born there. No, that does not mean that everyone around there is emo - actually, I don't think I met any emo people while we were living there. Then again, we did move when I was only eight years old, so I might just not remember. Ask my mother, or my father, or I guess you could even ask Winnie. Now, I guess you would just love to know how my parents met and came to be my parents, wouldn't you? Well, then, here you go. They met at one of the street races that my father always loved, did it, had Winnie, and then put their rings on each others' fingers. Yup, they had my big brother before they got married, but they're always saying he was like the ribbon on their presents.. Or something like that anyways, you would have to ask Winnie because I tend to zone out when my parents discuss sex, or giving birth to Winnie and me. It's just a bit disgusting, don't you agree? I mean, listening to your parents talk about sex and then your and your older brother's birth? Yup, definitely disgusting. Anyways.. So, Winnie was two when I popped out, and apparently that was the extent of children because my mother got her 'tubes tied' as Winnie so eloquently states. Mother was always into animal rights, and crap along those lines, but she did make time to be with Winnie and me. We did silly, little kids games like house, and we baked cupcakes and stuff like that - which, to be honest, I am quite thankful for because I could live on Winnie's baking.. Well, except if he ever happened to give me a cupcake filled with coke..
"Back to the history, yea? Well, mother bought us a dog at some point and we had him for about three years. Then this asshole went and ran him over, which completely made mother freak out and curse him out. I guess I learned some of my more creative words from her. Things quieted down in Emo after that, although it was quite a quiet town to begin with.. No important people, just the street races to keep the roudier people busy and then the hippies like mother, of course. We moved to Vancouver when I was eight years old, and it was a huge change.. For me, at least. I can't say I quite miss Emo, too much, since I was not even ten when we moved, but Vancouver is huge, damnit. I noticed a change in Winnie, a huge change, to be honest. When we were living in Emo, he was always the quietest Matthews, by far - even to the extent that he allowed me to make him the puppy when we played house. When we moved to Vancouver, which in itself is so loud and huge, I think Winnie hit that with his change. I started up school, for some time I was known as the little Matthews or the cutie pie which slightly disgusts me, but whatever. I really loved school, I mean you wouldn't expect that, but I really took everything in and I easily made friends and such. As we got older, I sorted things out and was fairly on track, but I discovered something very off about my mother.
"One day I was doing some chores, and everyone was out of the house. I was putting away the laundry, and my mother had a huge butt load of shirts to be put away. So, I did my job, but something caught my eye under her animal rights flyers - it was meth. I was really shocked, but I couldn't do anything about it and I didn't tell anyone. I didn't even tell Winnie, but what frightened me the most was that as soon as I made my discovery about my mother and noticed the difference in her actions, I noticed more changes in Winnie. His temper was much shorter, and he would snap at just about anyone, except for me. Never me. It was like I had some anit-bubble shield surrounding me that kept him from snapping at me. Winnie took up the drums soon after he became all snappy, and it seemed to help him a bit. I decided that I would try my hand at an instrument as well, and happened to love playing the keyboards. I was also doing very well in French at school, though that's not got anything to do with this.. Playing a small tune on my keys always seemed to help Winnie calm down, and I developed a certain nack for helping him slow down and take those deep breaths. I gotta say, I am damn well the best at calming Winnie down. Yes I am proud of the fact.
"Then, Winnie and some of his friends started messing around and playing their music. They were pretty good, although I didn't start playing with them until a little later, I would always be there during practice. I liked all of Winnie's friends, and they were always really cool towards me too. They sounded awesome, and one day they realized that, and then they actually became a band and saught to see how far they could go. A couple of days after that decision I began to formally play with them, although for a bit before that I had been playing in one or two jam sessions. We were fucking amazing, and we still are, but we were making it up quickly. Victory Story was just blazing a path across music because we were such a new thing, and such a mix of different styles that anyone can listen to us and enjoy our songs.
"Ah, I almost forgot. Backtrack a bit. I started dating one of the guys who is in the band. You want to know who? Well, you'll just have to ask him. I really, really liked him. I was only thirteen though, and Winnie was sixteen. So, this was three and a half years ago and I really was enjoying myself. Winnie didn't seem to mind too much that I was dating one of his friends, but he didn't know what happened behind closed doors.. I didn't fuck him right away, although I'm sure he wouldn't have had any objections, and I was only thirteen. I turned fourteen, and we decided to 'celebrate'. He wanted to reign in my older days, crossign over the threshold - so to speak.. Although, now that I think about it, it could possibly have been illegal. Shit, hope he wasn't seventeen at the time! Yes, I am bad with birthdays, aregardless I loved him. I could sincerely say that, but I was not ready to have the baby that would have been born if I carried out with that pregnancy. It was the second time we had sex that I concieved it, and as soon as I found out I told him. I didn't tell anyone else, but him. He yelled at me, screamed that I should have been taking birth control pills. I was only fourteen, and it was only my second time - I was naive. He told me that I had to get an abortion or that he would leave me. I decided that, although it went against almost everything I believe in, I would get that abortion because I was not ready to handle being a mother and I didn't want to get to love the baby and then have to give it up to adoption. So, I did get that abortion, but I dumped him.
"Winnie does not know about the pregnancy, or the abortion. And he is not going to find out until he has settled all of his drama and crap. I love him too much to tell him about such a disaster of mine.. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had just went through the whole nine months gestation period. Would it have looked more like me, or like him? Would it be a girl or a boy? Would it have sharp fingernails? Yes, I did infact watch Juno. That is besides the point. I am not going to let that point in my life wreck our band's success, so I keeping it quiet and hoping no tabloids pick it up. Or that he spills the information. He wouldn't though, would he? Oh, yea, after the abortion was when I went through this whole change. I didn't always look like this, you know, with the dyed white-blonde hair. I used to have light brown hair, and I used to wear clothes that would never fit in my rockstar world that I live in.
"So, things are changing everyday. Winnie got into his addictions, but is trying to lose them all. I got over him, although I still wonder everynight what would have happened if I kept the baby. Victory Story is stilling rocking peoples' boats, and I continue to amaze people with my French skills. I just hope things can be kept in this awesome-ness forever."[/color][/font]

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE.
YOU LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
YOU'RE EVERYTHING GOOD IN MY LIFE
Unbeknownst to Joey and her daughter, Joey's best friend, Scorpius Malfoy, was having a Jessica Alba fantasy at the far end of the pool. While the blonde was letting the little dream overtake his mind, and Lily had started to swim over to him while screaming his name, Joey had pulled out a minimized magazine from a pocket in her white tunic cover-up. The magazine was an issue of Witch Weekly, which Joey had previously shrunk for easy carry, and as she tapped her short nine inch, rosewood wand to the little thing it grew to it's original and readable size. Joey placed her wand back inside of her white tunic and opened up the magazine to the last article she had been reading from.
Lily saw Scorpius react and start to swim towards her, and so she sped up a bit only to find that she could not see him anymore because he had ducked under the water. Lily stopped swimming, and had begun to half treadwater and half sink and then come up for air, when Scorpius suddenly grabbed her from underneath and shot her up into the air. With a shrill squeal of mixed laughter and surprise, Lily began to giggle as Scorpius swam around in circles and then swam towards the shallower end of the pool. Lily was a pretty bright, young four year old and she could almost guess that Scorpius was nervous about her being in such a deep part of the pool even when she was an extremely learned swimmer.
Then Lily watched as Scorpius searched out the pool edge for her mother, and once his keen eyes had found her he swam over to Joey. Lily did not understand why her mother replied as she did to Scorpius' question of whether she belonged to her. "Watch your tongue, Scorpius, around my four year old," Joey said in a joking manner as she noted her best friend licking his lips after, bluntly, checking her out in her bikini and cover-up. If Lily was not there, the response may have been a tad different as Joey, too, was a huge flirt and did not usually turn that off even when around Scorpius, but the fact was that her four year old daughter was there.
'Yeah, Mummy! Come swim in, it is fun!' Lily squealed again as Scorpius tickled her sides, after asking her if Joey should get into the pool with them. Lily knew that Scorpius was not her father, it had been drilled into her after she had accidently called him so. However, he was the one big boy that was almost always around, except for Grandfather and Uncle, and it had confused her. Besides that fact, her mother still refused to tell Lily who her daddy was - Joey kept saying that it was unimportant and it had no relevance to how Lily was going to grow up happy and beautiful. Lily loved her mother, and wanted very much to please her and to grow up happy and beautiful - like Mummy had, but she did not know who her father was. Maybe if she knew who her father was, then she could decide if she wanted to be like him, too, and to make him happy. Those serious sorts of things were always wiped out of her mind from the smallest of things, like any other four year old's mind and attention span.
Lily leaned down and spoke to Scorpius in what she thought was a whisper, but Joey could clearly hear her. 'Scorpi, you should throw Mummy in. Then, Mummy come swim in.' Lily giggled, but covered her mouth with both hands in a four year old's attempt to stifle her laughter, although it was far from working. As Joey heard her daughter's supposed whisper, and then Scorpius put in his helpful two-sense, she sat up quickly. Putting aside her copy of Witch Weekly, Joey slowly undid and pulled off her white tunic cover-up, while she began to warn her best friend.
"It was not my initial idea, no, but I have no problem being here - outside of the pool. However, Scorpius, if you do throw me in, then I will not be held accountable for my actions to follow such a stunt." As Joey spoke, she completely removed her cover-up and placed it atop of her daughters before going back into the same position she had been in before: lying against the beach chair with her magazine open to her article. Joey was seriously, extremely hydrophobic because she was scared of drowning. However horrible that sounded, when her own four year old daughter was swimming around like she had been doing it for a lifetime, it was the truth. Despite that, Joey could stand the water as long as she herself could stand up or Scorpius was there to cling onto, much like Lily was doing at that moment, and Joey was very good at swimming herself. She merely was scared, to put it so frankly. In preparation for a probable encounter with the water, taking off her cover-up had seemed like a smart idea to the twenty one year old. Not getting thrown into the water sounded like an even better idea, though she knew those chances were slim.
