'''Joy''' was an [[America]]n woman who worked in the [[White House]] in [[1969]]. Emerging from a [[toilet]] cubicle, she saw a [[Silent]]. She assumed its face to be a ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[mask]] but when she looked away, forgot what she had seen. She looked again and repeated her actions, despite the warnings of [[Amy Pond]]. The Silent killed Joy with an [[Electricity|electrical]] discharge from its hand, disintegrating her. A horrified Amy asked the Silent why it had killed her. It told Amy her name, having apparently killed her for no reason other than intimidation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')

''For others by that name, see [[Joy]].''
== Behind the scenes ==
Her name was likely chosen to create a sort of dark pun, where at first it seems as if the Silent was claiming to have killed her for pleasure.
