Overview
Joey is the more extroverted of the White twins—a social chameleon who thrives in crowded rooms and enemy territory alike. Her charm is calculated, her body language weaponized. She can laugh with her prey and strike before they realize the party's over.But behind the performance lies a soul scarred by manipulation and favoritism. Ecks favors her—not always with words, but with gifts, privileges, moments of freedom. And Joey, despite herself, enjoys them. Even as it eats at her.
Strengths
- Charismatic Deceiver – Can blend into almost any environment; expert at gathering intel while playing the part of the carefree socialite.
- Close-Quarters Specialist – Deadly with a single short lightsaber and a vibroblade; favors quick, silent kills in tight spaces.
- Emotional Tether – Her deep, intuitive bond with Sami allows her to sense her sister's distress across rooms, even without Force connection.
- Empathic Manipulator – Reads others' emotions with terrifying precision and uses it to get what she needs.
Weaknesses
- Avoids Internal Confrontation – Prefers noise, chaos, and distraction to introspection. Often masks fear or guilt with charm.
- Over-Reliant on Sarkana's Validation – Joey craves Sarkana's approval more than she admits, sometimes skewing her judgment to seek praise.
- Shared Weakness (with Sami): Emotional Suppression – Both twins have been trained to weaponize their pain but not to process it. It builds beneath the surface, often leading to explosive consequences.
Relationship with Ecks and Sarkana
- Ecks: She hates that she likes the way he looks at her. His gifts, his soft praise—she knows it's a manipulation, but it makes her feel seen. Yet a part of her fears she is simply being groomed into a version of herself he can control.
- Sarkana: She feels both comforted and cold around Sarkana. Sarkana plays mother, mentor, and puppeteer, all in one breath. Joey sometimes wonders if anything she feels around her is truly her own.
