Joyce (Video Game)

Joyce is an original character who appears in Episode 4 of The Walking Dead Video Game, "Around Every Corner", along with Vernon, Brie, Clive and Boyd.

Pre-Apocalypse
Not much is known about Joyce's life prior to the apocalypse. At some point, she had a child and was diagnosed with cancer. She was a member of a cancer support group led by Vernon, and still had active cancer inside of her, causing her immense pain.

Episode 4: Around Every Corner
Following the zombie epidemic, she, along with her support group, moved into Crawford, which, at the time, seemed like an ideal safe haven from Walkers. But Oberson tightened security, and partly lost his sanity, eliminating any liabilities within his group. Unfortunately, Joyce, being a cancer-carrier, was targeted along with her other support group members. Half of the members were killed, the others fleeing Crawford and creating their home in an abandoned morgue within the sewers of Savannah along with Vernon, Brie, Boyd and Clive. After Lee arrived in search for help, she did not speak, being in much pain from her cancer. Clive was seen caring for her, assisting her in laying down in bed. He was very reluctant to see Vernon go to assist Lee in getting home, as Joyce was in very much pain, and he couldn't bear to see her that way. After Vernon returned, she disappeared with the others and her status is currently unknown.

Episode 5: No Time Left
Following Vernon's return, he informed them of Lee's group's boat and how he planned to steal it. After formulating a plan, the group departed the morgue, along with all of their supplies, and moved to the manor house that contained the boat. Upon arriving, if any members of Lee's group were left behind, they were beaten by Vernon and Joyce, before being locked inside the backyard shed. If no one stayed, they will steal the boat and leave a note explaining their reasons. While the beating is taking place, Boyd and Clive will move the boat out of the shed. Upon stealing the boat, their status is unknown.
