"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to be one's own self." -Montaigne
Nurse Joy is the pretty nurse who works in the POKéMON Center. There is a Joy in every POKéMON Center, as there are many Joys. All of them are related somehow, and look/sound identical, even sharing the same name. The Joys are very pretty, and kind-hearted, although most of them have a steely strong side when necessary. They know a lot about POKéMON and care deeply for them.
Joys usually have Chanseys as assistants, as they make good nurse POKéMON.
However, despite their similarities, not all Nurse Joys are alike. Brock can tell them all apart, but more than that, there are Joys that don't fit the mould.
One Joy is an official for the POKéMON League, authorising gyms as real League gyms. Another Joy wants to be a POKéMON Master, and takes the POKéMON League Admissions Exam, where she does very well.
One Joy is lazy and a bit absent-minded. One Joy does exploring and archeology to try to find Kabuto oil, rumoured to bring health and immortality. And another Joy is deeply tanned, muscular, strong and strong-willed, kayaking around Orange Islands that don't have POKéMON Centers to care for sick POKéMON with her Chansey. She is good friends with a giant Magikarp (which later evolves).
All the Joy's mothers look alike also.
Despite some differences, most Joys have common traits of niceness, willingness to help/advise/scold Ash and his friends if they need it, and most of them need help at some stage. ^_^.
