IN CHARACTER

Character Name: Joyce Byers
Canon: Stranger Things
Canon Point: Season 2, Episode 4, after getting Will home from school

In-Game Tattoo Placement: This laid out just below her collarbones, sort of like a necklace.
Current Health/Status: Alive.
Age: According to the Stranger Things wiki, late 30s. Because she and Hopper apparently went to school together, I'm going to say she's just two years behind him, and since he's 42 in season 2, she's 40.
Species: Human.

Content Warnings: child loss, assumed child death, actual child death (of non-major character), implied mental health issues, implied emotional abuse from former spouse, mentions of outdated 80s attitudes towards mental health and queerness, violence, government conspiracy, gaslighting because of government conspiracy, monsters, trauma, smoking. Stranger Things as a canon also has child abuse, medical abuse, domestic abuse directed towards both children and spouse, bullying, overt homophobia, overt belittling of mental illness, racism, possession, abuse of power from government agents, Cold War-era conspiracy paranoia, horror imagery, violence, gore, and otherworldly monsters eating humans. Think a lighter version of Stephen King's Firestarter mixed in with elements from The Goonies, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Three Days of the Condor.

Warnings:

Joyce as a character comes with the following: child loss, assumed child death, actual child death (of non-major character), implied mental health issues, implied emotional abuse from former spouse, somewhat outdated 80s attitudes towards mental health and queerness (she's progressive on many things, but her terminology and understanding originates from the 80s, so she might make assumptions), violence, government conspiracy, gaslighting because of government conspiracy, monsters, trauma, smoking. Stranger Things as a canon also has child abuse, medical abuse, domestic abuse directed towards both children and spouse, bullying, overt homophobia, overt belittling of mental illness, racism, possession, abuse of power from government agents, Cold War-era conspiracy paranoia, horror imagery, violence, gore, and otherworldly monsters eating humans. Think a lighter version of Stephen King's Firestarter mixed in with elements from The Goonies, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Three Days of the Condor.
