THE JOY

*Before becoming infected, Gumball appeared to be the same was the same as his original counterpart in the series, a sarcastic and snarky person. And just like in the main series and in the episode about joy, he shows himself to be in a bad mood on many occasions, but he is also usually friendly and loves Penny and genuinely cared about his best friend Darwin. when he is infected with the Joy Virus, his personality changes completely, resembling a wild and territorial animal whose sole purpose is to infect or kill uninfected people. But when Darwin speaks with him, it's clear he still retains memories of his past life and even tries to shake Darwin's hand just before succumbing to the infection again. He also tends to have a mean-spirited personality when infected, often drooling excessively uponhe is a 12-year-old turquoise anthropomorphic cat who is 3'3.5" tall, wears a tan sweater with brown cuffs and collar, and has a fang sticking out of his mouth. However, with the joy virus, his pupils dilate, he displays a wide smile, and his saliva and blood turn pink. As time passes, his body mutates to such a degree that he becomes more muscular, monstrous, and tall, possibly measuring almost 2 meters in height. His shirt also becomes more torn due to the accelerated growth of the infection, and the tip of his tail is bald.Gumball and his siblings were having breakfast, but Gumball himself was in a bad mood because it was Monday. His father Richard decixed to cheer him up and gave him a hug, which spread or created the Joy Virus. After entering his system, the first symptoms of infection would manifest while he was at school, smiling uncontrollably, and the teacher Miss Simian noticed this and sent him to the infirmary. Upon closer inspection by Principal Brown and the school nurse, they would find that he was getting worse and drooling rainbow colored saliva. Believing this to be a prank, Principal Brown became irritated, and this was when Gumball bit Principal Brown*
