Shipped With: Magician.

Age Bracket: Young adult.

Small and not particularly strong, but good at running, flipping, jumping, and dodging. One of the fastest Smurfs, he is often sent to delivery emergency messages, which is among the few things he takes seriously and won't mess up for fun.

He spends most of his life happy with being a menace, but he's still a Smurf and all Smurfs want to be helpful in some way, leading him to eventually become upset when he realizes he's worse than useless to the village. Eventually he discovers that the talents he normally uses for pranks — his parkour skills, traps, explosives, and talent for manipulation — have alternative uses in defending the village.

Has many burns from his constant work with explosives. His ears are eternally ringing for exactly the same reason, and while he's not anywhere close to deaf, he does have worst hearing than most Smurfs.

His expressions are always sharper and more extreme than most Smurfs, no matter the situation or emotion. His voice is high-pitched and fast, and he giggles almost constantly. His hyperactivity and lack of fucks to give lead his speech to be somewhat lazy, filled with missing sounds and combined words, though he can be surprisingly eloquent if he puts his mind to it.

He never means to really hurt anysmurf, exactly, but he has little to no concept of safety. Explosives, giant tarantulas, even putting somesmurf in Gargamel's way won't register as particularly dangerous in his brain. He has almost no sense of consequences unless they are made very clear.

He does have lines, however. He understands that babies and small children are fragile. He loves when people yell or otherwise get frustrated from his pranks, but panics and tries to make up for it if they start crying. Once he does realize he's put somesmurf in actual danger, he immediately goes for help or tries to rescue them himself, but almost never learns a lesson from the situation.

Jokey doesn't have great empathy skills. Sometimes, it takes feeling something himself for him to realize it's wrong to make others feel that way. Only after dealing with bullies of his own does Jokey finally, slowly realize how much of a bully he himself is — he'll never stop pranking or being the explosive and abrasive Smurf he's always been, but this Heel Realization does kick off him learning to be kinder and more discerning in his tricks.

Sleeps surrounded by joke boxes and stuffed animals. The only object he really prizes is his joke book, which he memorized ages ago. His best friends are Vanity and Grouchy, their friendship is based on insulting the village and being generally the unsmurfiest Smurfs alive, though they always come through for their fellow Smurfs in a pinch. Another friend of his is Brainy, his absolute favorite target for one simple reason — Brainy is too smart to keep falling for Jokey's jokes, yet still does every single time.

For some reason or another, Brainy plays along with Jokey's games, acts as his straight man and foil on purpose. Jokey will forever love him for it.

Jokey's roommate turned crush is Magician Smurf, who has an explosive side of her own.

He's a mailsmurf. This is why everysmurf consistently falls for his pranks — he times it just right so they fall into a false sense of security because they keep getting real mail and presents from him, and then BOOM! XD

He has a little sister that looks up to him and is gleefully following in his prankster footsteps.

Jokey is not a role model. He's reckless, usually doesn't consider potential consequences before he does something, and thinks that an explosion in someone's face is the height of comedy. He's rarely malicious, but he is ever careless with safety, both his own and others.

Jokey is pretty much allergic to responsibility. But when he sees his little sister about to pull the same sort of reckless, consequence-blind, potentially harmful prank he specializes in? Then, and only then, will he play the voice of reason.

He loves that his little sis is a prankster like him — but he doesn't want her to be a prankster exactly like him. He wants her to be better.

Was once a workaholic weapons expert named Arsenal Smurf who found a passion for pranks and changed forever. When he switched his name to Jokester, he discovered that the easiest way to let everysmurf know was to just tell Nosey.
