Shizuka Josephine Joestar (静・ジョースター Shizuka Jōsutā) is a human and inhabitant of an alternate Earth first met in Vultro Meets Shizuka Joestar. She possesses a unique spiritual ability, known as a Stand, called Porcelain.
On her native Earth, and at the age of only six months, Shizuka was left abandoned in the Japanese town of Morioh. She was discovered by an elderly man named Joseph Joestar, who subsequently adopted and raised her in New York City until his passing in 2017.
Appearance
Shizuka is a young adult of an athletic build, sporting short cyan hair and golden-brown eyes.
Her usual attire is a blue jacket over a yellow star shirt, along with purple pants and boots. Star shapes are a prominent feature of her attire; her jacket has a star shaped opening, and her pants feature star emblems near the ankles. She also wears a pair of dark sunglasses originally given to her by her father Joseph.
History
For unexplained reasons, Shizuka was a baby lost in Morioh, probably because of her Stand power Achtung Baby, which can turn herself and her close surroundings invisible. Unfortunately, she was too young to understand how to control its power, and would turn things invisible when upset or scared.
Upon being discovered by Joseph Joestar, she took an immediate liking to him. She would only remain calm (and visible) when in his presence, and stayed with him during his entire visit to Morioh. Though Joseph was nearly 80 years old, he decided to adopt her and bring her home to New York City to live with himself and his wife Suzy Q.
Things remained relatively uneventful for most of her childhood, though she would slowly learn to master Achtung Baby's abilities and control her invisibility on her own. At some point, she would decide to rename her stand to Porcelain.
On her 18th birthday, Suzie Q passed away of a heart attack, her father Joseph already bedridden due to his age. Unfortunately, he too would pass away a few months later, leaving her devastated and without parents. Her adoptive older brother, Josuke Higashkita, agreed to temporarily take over Joseph's business and moved to New York shortly after.
In 2022, now 24 years old, Shizuka and her brother Josuke are warped to the Vultroverse, meeting Vultro the Fox who was visiting the 21st century for another reason. They learn of a massive collision between a handful of interconnected universes, which threatens to destroy them all. The collision of her reality is reversed shortly after, sending her and Josuke back. However, a small piece of her world remains in the form of the Stand virus that was carried by Vultro, which would eventually cause the emergence of Stands in the Vultroverse.
Trivia
- Her home reality is an alternate version of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe.
- This reality does not contain a version of Enrico Pucci, meaning that the events of Stone Ocean do not occur.
