[attr="class","rostercat2"]Joshua is quiet upon first meetings. However, he is not quiet because he is shy. Instead, Joshua is constantly observing his surroundings and mentally tucking away anything he finds relevant. When he does find something noteworthy to comment on, he typically does so with a dry sense of humor.

He often wears a serious expression on his face. Though this makes Joshua appear to be quite no-nonsense, the truth is he has a playful personality. He enjoys teasing his close friends, and sometimes, Joshua makes the mistake of overstepping those boundaries. However, he is quick to apologize if he senses he has upset someone.

Despite possessing a low amount of social battery life, Joshua generally enjoys having company. He is quick to warm up to others and is steadfastly loyal. He prides himself upon his reliability and tenacity. Even if opening himself to others exposes him to betrayal, Joshua finds it difficult to blame others. He's rather easily hurt because he often makes the incorrect assumption that people will return his loyalty, but he would never hold it against them.

[attr="class","rostercatsub2"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","rostercat2"]Born and raised in Cherrygrove City, Joshua was always fascinated by the trees scattered across the city. His younger sister did not understand why he found them so interesting (after all, she had always been more interested in the waters west of the city). Although the trees were always a sight to behold, it was the Pokemon that inhabited the trees season to season that Joshua found noteworthy.

Even from a young age, he found quiet pleasure in sketching the Pokemon that crawled or nested in each tree's branches. As Joshua grew older, he transitioned from simply satisfying himself with drawing to pursuing more serious studies in Pokemon biodiversity and ecology. Fortunately, his parents were supportive of his academic focus and encouraged him to apply for a position at the New Bark Town lab.

The lab provided even wider opportunities of research outside of Cherrygrove City's trees. However, Joshua was far from satisfied. After he was sent to the Lake of Rage to aid with a catch and release study of Magikarp sizes, Joshua noted the sheer amount of other scientists also studying at the Lake of Rage. While their research was valuable, he quickly realized that he needed experience outside of Johto to truly leave an impact with any research he produced.

Then again, perhaps traveling to the Inset Region was an excuse to flee from increasingly overbearing parents. Although his relationship with them is not necessarily poor, he grew weary of them asking if he would ever find an interest or passion in another person instead of his studies. He responded by applying for a position and funding to document and tally the Pokemon species he encountered throughout the Inset Region.

Fortunately, Joshua was able to find an advertisement searching for a person to host, and continues to bother travel with and bum off of accompany them on their own journey across the region.
