She controls the storage and recall of all happy memories. Naturally sunny and fiercely believing that “happiness fixes everything,” she once even tried to mask Riley’s sadness with Skittles and silly dances. Back in Minnesota, her memory spheres were almost entirely golden. But the move to San Francisco and the onset of puberty triggered a major crisis. When Riley broke down over losing her hockey team, Joy was ejected from the console for the first time. This exile forced her to learn to collaborate with Sadness.
