JOSEFINE/SMP

"This page is about the character on the Dream SMP. For the streamer who plays this character, see JOSEFINE."

""You deem me a traitor, that's fine. Because for once in my life I have never been ashamed of who I am, what I've said, or what I've become. Who I've made proud or who I've disappointed. From now on, L'Manburg will never hold power over me. You will never force me to bend to your will, and your so-called peaceful ways will never make me quiet again. I will remain free, free from L'Manburg and free from your tyranny. I assure you one thing though, L'Manburg must fall and when I'm through with it, it will never see the light of day again.""

- – Josie to Tubbo before the Doomsday War

Josefine, also known as Josie, is a former L’Manburg resident and a member of The Syndicate. Currently, a major character in the Dream SMP who follows an anarchistic ideology and the belief that governments are oppressive and tyrannical.

Josie has aided L’Manburg on several occasions, but ultimately sided against the country during the Doomsday War. She first joined during the Schlatt Administration, and initially served for his side. After joining the side of Pogtopia, she made Wilbur Soot promise to abolish L’Manburg once they won the war, however Wilbur made her promise in return to rebuild it to become something he would be proud of.

After Wilbur’s death and the explosion in L’Manburg, Josie helped rebuilding L’Manburg. After Tommy's exile and the explosion of the Community House, she took a stand and defended Ranboo, who was called a traitor. Speaking out against L'Manburg and it's true values and ideas, she was named a traitor by Tubbo, the president. Promising that L'Manburg wouldn't ever see the light of day again, she aided Technoblade, Dream and Ph1LzA in blowing it up. Josie sang the L'Manburg Anthem one final time for Wilbur, (replacing “my L’Manburg” to “his L’Manburg” meaning it had always been Wilbur’s, no one else’s), and then proceeded to spawn the first withers.

Following the Doomsday War, Josie officially moved to the arctic with Techno and Phil. There, she built her own little hut and later joined The Syndicate formed by Techno and Phil to end tyranny.

Appearance
Josie is a human/Siren with light skin, hazel eyes, and dirty blonde hair. Her default skin is her wearing a yellow skirt, a brown sweater, striped long socks and brown boots. There is a small braid on the left side of her head.

During the Schlatt Administration, she was forced to wear the iconic suit the members of the cabinet wore. Hers was worn with a lilac tie.

After the Manburg vs Pogtopia War, Wilburs red beanie was added to her default skin

Josie canonically has wings resembling those of a large eagle. However, her wings don’t work because she hasn’t embraced her Siren side of her species. She also has gills on her neck and legs. She can hold her breath for an extended amount of time, and falls slower due to her wings.

Personality
In Josie's early days on the server, she was charitable and always ready to lend a helping hand. She's still generally a kind and hard-working person, as well as trusting and friendly.

Flaws
Josie's main flaw is her trust and loyalty. Once she trusts someone she's loyal to the core, and will go to many lengths in order to keep her friends and family safe. Her issue also falls within her trust being won easily. One of the notable examples of those she trusts are Technoblade, who she trusts so fiercely that she would practically do close to anything to help, protect or save him. Her loyalty to him hasn't faltered because of his loyalty to her as well. Josie is quick to go to great lengths such as violence to defend those she's loyal to.

Josie also talks and acts before she thinks, which usually gets her in trouble with others. She's notable for lashing out at people for simply speaking their minds. Though she respects others opinions, she's keen on speaking against them. Josie was also quick to align herself with Techno, Ph1LzA and Dream in blowing up L'Manburg, after being deemed a traitor.

D&D Alignment
Josie is Neutral Good. She has little regard for or against lawful precepts such as rules or tradition. She can cooperate with leaders and presidents, but doesn't feel a need to please them. Should she need to bend or break the rules for someone she cares about, she doesn't feel remorse or deal with an inner conflict.

Pre-server debut
Not a lot is known about Josie life prior to joining the SMP. It's known that she was raised by Phil and Technoblade, becoming Techno's mentee at a very early age. She was trained both physically and mentally by him, making her a strong fighter and PvP'er. This is also shown in Josie's complete faith and trust in him. She respects his ideals and beliefs a great deal, and shares some of them.

Josie was also good friends with Tubbo in her childhood. The two grew up as outcasts, taken in by Phil and his family.

Manburg Rebellion Arc
Josie first joined when Jschlatt had just been inaugurated as President of Manburg (formerly L'Manburg), and attended the Election on her first day on the server. After the exile of Wilbur Soot and TommyInnitt, the renaming of L'Manburg, Schlatt addressed Josie with Quackity and demanded that she would choose a side. Without much knowledge of the server, Josie asked who had most power. Schlatt was able to convince her the winners were Manburg, and Josie became it's newest member.

She begun working for Schlatt, without knowledge of previous incidents. When trying to create an archive with Tubbo (for his alibi), she stumbled upon the stories of L'Manburg before Schlatt and recognized Wilbur and Tommy's names as the founding fathers. Once she got wind of Tubbo being a spy, she demanded that he arranged a meeting between her and Wilbur. The two met in the forest, where Josie expressed her ideals and her distrust of Schlatt and his government. Josie agreed to prove her worth, and became a spy for Pogtopia.

Josie spent many hours planning Manburg's fall with Wilbur, Technoblade and Tommy, while relaying information from Schlatt to their benefit.
