Joyce and Walky![]
History[]
She makes a brief appearance during Joyce and Walky's wedding in Joyce and Walky!, notable almost solely because Machete referred to her as "Aunt Joss" when she, John, and Jordan brought him Brock Doc.
Trivia[]
- She is post-transition in the Walkyverse, we know because Machete calls her Aunt Joss.
- She appears in only two panels: one in a picture taken during her adolescence (and among the rest of the Browns), and another with most of her torso hidden behind Brock Doc's head.
- Like all of Joyce's siblings, Jocelyne's name begins with "J"

History[]
Joycelyne presenting as Joshua in Dumbing of Age.
Jocelyne was first introduced as "Joshua" during the Freshman Family Weekend arc, and was the only one of Joyce's siblings to make the trip (Jonathan being "too married" and Jordan being "too... Jordan").[2]
According to her, she's the favorite child in the family, largely because her parents know the least about her.[3] She currently works as a freelance writer despite the lousy pay, appreciating the ability to define her own identity through her work.[4]
Trivia[]
- Jocelyne is a closeted transgender woman.
- Ethan Siegal may have the tiniest crush on her, making her the only woman Ethan was ever attracted to, though he didn't know she was trans at the time.
- She is deeply bothered by grammatical errors on signs, because she is a writer. [5].
- She is likely a reference to Jocelyn Samara DiDomenick, who is also a transgender webcomic artist and writer and who previously went by the name Joshua as well.[6][7]
