Personality
Joshie uses a lot of English and quite posh sounding phrases.

He seems to be upper-class. He has a comic where he removes two ghostly figures called 'Poor Attitude' and 'Disrespect' from a home, and tells the parents to download more ringtones and songs from his website.He also uses words like " Fist Punch! Foot Kick! " while fighting and they are also quotes of his talking doll.

As with his head appearance and his face formation, he looks pretty much like Bryce Anderson, who is also a popular guy
