Background
Found
His egg was abandoned in the badlands by his biological mother Blossom, while she was leaving The Badlands hive, very far from the Changeling hive where it was found by two unicorn scientists who took the egg home with them and began to raise the young nymph and gave him the name Joey.
When he was found he was given brain surgery by his adoptive parents which made his parents able to teach him how to talk, crawl, read and write
He was never able to learn or use magic due to a disorder that he was born with, and could not be fixed with the surgery and is deeply ashamed by that
Journey to The Badlands Hive
Not long after he was found by his parents they vanished mysteriously and no one knew where they went, however Joey continued to live in the same house alone until one day he left Canterlot to embark on a personal journey to seek out other Changelings
After a long journey he came across the reformed hive in the badlands where he met Night Shade who brought him into the hive and they became friends, which would later contribute to Joey's dream of joining the honor guards.
He was eventually brought to the caretaker gardens by Sunset Gleam
Temporary Leave
Joey was taken alongside Sunset Gleam when she left to start her own hive in The Foal Mountains. Joey originally was enthusiastic about the new hive but eventually found the new hive to be lonely and was taken back to the badlands hive
