Biography
Before she moved to Lima, Ohio to live with her aunt, uncle, little cousin and Brittany Joyce lived in California. She loved her life there and she was happy. One day though she was waiting after cheer practice for her parents to pick her up, but they were late. Jason, her boyfriend, kept offering to take her home but Joyce refused in case her parents were to show up. He seemed to disagree with her decision but stuck around and kept her company nonetheless. Almost an hour went by until Joyce got a call. She answered it, expecting it to be her mom or dad, instead it was a policeman. He informed her about what happened and she made Jason drive her to the hospital. Her mother had died instantly at the impact of the drunk driving accident, but her dad was still alive but only slightly. She got her chance to say goodbye, and was told Brittany's mom and dad were her godmother and godfather.

When she moves to Lima though it seems like she arrives prior to Guilty Pleasures. Brittany asks for the glee club's help in preparing Joyce's room because she didn't want to accidentally mess anything up. They all agreed and talked amongst themselves after Brittany ran off about what they thought Joyce was like. They all obviously assumed she was a naive, innocent 'stipid' person like her cousin is. They were shocked though to see on Joyce's first day of school that they were completely wrong.

Jason Kennedy
Back in California Jason was her boyfriend. They're still dating despite the distance. Joyce just really hopes that their relationship works out. Since she tends to fall fast and is a bit naive with relationships she thinks that he's her 'true love'. Brittany doesn't seem to like him that much after the two times she met him. She claims him to be "sneaky and freaks me out. I don't trust him for a minute". Back in California Jason and Joyce were known as "the adorable IT couple". Jason was a hunk football player everyone wanted and Joyce was the sweetheart cheerleader people wanted to be.
