Character Base

• Character Name: Joyce Byers
• Age: 41
• Canon (Date/Year Released)/Canon Point: Stranger Things (2016-present) | Season 3, Episode 2 ("The Mall Rats"), on her way to Mr. Clarke's house
• Items Coming Along: A shitload of library books all about magnets and magnetism, her car (do not ask me the model, just know it's kind of a terrible car), drawings made by Will Byers, a drawing of her deceased boyfriend Bob Newby, flashlight, shotgun
• Content Warnings for Character: 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death (of non-major character), implied mental health issues, implied emotional abuse from former spouse, mentions of outdated 80s attitudes towards mental health and queerness, violence, government conspiracy, gaslighting because of government conspiracy, monsters, trauma, smoking.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.
