Joy Lexington

Joy Lexington was a contender on Project: Glee Season 1. She was eliminated during the sixth episode, Performability.

About
Joy Lexington was born and raised in Lansing, Michigan by her two parents and with her little brother, Michael. Growing up, Joy was the average little girl: pretty, sarcastic, funny, smart, and kind. She had friends, got good grades... an all-in-all good girl.

But when her parents divorced when she was just 12 years old, she grew hostile and reserved for about a month or so, blocking out those who tried to help her. Joy eventually got over it, and though she was still sad that her parents were not in love and together anymore, she grew happier and kinder again and let her friends and family into her life once more.

Joy graduated high school a valedictorian and went to the University of Michigan to stay close to her family and her home. She had watched Glee since the beginning of the show, and she had always had a passion for performing. Maybe not dancing, but definitely singing and even acting. So when she heard there was gonna be a talent competition to be on Glee, she jumped at the chance and auditioned, and here she is on Project: Glee.

Appearance
Joy is a pretty girl with dark hair that eventually turned blonde-brown. She has lovely brown eyes that sparkle when she smiles. Her clothes are pretty un-fashionable, and unless she has to dress up, she's usually wearing felt hats and ponchos with ugly patterns.

Personality
Joy is a very kind girl. Although she wasn't exactly the most popular girl at school, she had friends, mostly boys. She has a good sense of humor that will make people laugh, and she can also be quite sarcastic. Of course, just like anyone else, when someone angers her or makes her sad, she can become angry or sad, and will want to just be by herself for a while. But she is a very sweet girl, and a good friend.
