Personality:

Jocelyn, known as Jozzy to most, loves to smile. She hates to have any negative feelings and hates to see anyone else have them as well. Jozzy also loves to make others smile and hates, more than anything, to see anyone rejecting her attempts just because they want to stay negative. This negativity and threatening the ones she loves are the only two things that will make her angry.

Jozzy is adept at following orders immediately and thoroughly. Once put on a task directly through the orders of a superior, she’s hard pressed to be distracted. If the order it against her morals, she will hesitate and, depending on the situation, will not follow through, explaining why to her superior. If it comes to it, she will fight for her position with everything she’s got. Because of this, she seems stubborn to most adults.

History:

Her father is a Marine, and he acts like it. He’s trained his daughter to follow orders (though she often ignores him) and how to defend herself. She’s taken Aikido and Tae Kwan Doe ever since she was four. It was around then that she first remembered hearing ghosts. Their house was near a cemetery and because of this, she was always afraid to go past it.

Her mother had been able to hear ghosts when she was younger, so it was she that discovered why her daughter was always afraid. One night, she was hiding under her covers when her mother came in. When asked why she was so afraid, Jozzy told her that there were voices that didn’t feel good. When asked if she wanted to help them, she nodded, wanting to help them like her father helped Americans.

Her mother started training her. Many of the spirits were angry, murders unsolved or they were angry when they died. Jocelyn taught herself to be happy even when they were threatening her so they didn’t feed off of her negative energy. It was when she was around nine that she discovered music helped calm the spirits. Her uncle was a musician, able to play most forms of music better than a lot of other musicians. He daughter her piano, the violin, and the cello.

She started calming the spirits even more, telling stupid jokes to no one in particular while playing a light piano piece on the keyboard her mother had bought her.

Her father wasn’t aware of any of the reasons for this until she was thirteen. Afraid her practical husband would believe their daughter was crazy, her mother had kept it a secret. He found out when he found Jozzy playing her violin in the cemetery. They finally told him and, completely opposite of what her mother had thought, believed them at once. He started looking for a school that might be able to help her. It took a year but he soon caught wind of the school.

Powers: She can hear and see ghosts very well but can’t smell them as well as others because her mother hadn’t thought to train her in that area.
