ABOUT

Joni was born on a sunny November afternoon, the first born of a set of twins to parents who decided not to keep their babies. When Sue Sylvester marched into the hospital to pick up the babies she had agreed to adopt she surprised the parents by letting them know that she’d just be taking the older twin, as she had no time for people who placed second. If you’re not first you’re a loser and Sylvesters are not losers. Though Joni doesn’t judge her birth parents for seeking better lives for their children, she DOES judge the fact that they willingly let a woman who called her twin a loser for simply being born second, take her home to raise her. 

But, maybe it was all for the best, because Joni became tough as nails thanks to her mother. As a kid, her competitive edge shown early on, excelling as a competitive cheerleader under Sue’s coaching, as well as in dance and gymnastics. She had a natural talent that paired well with her determination and constant hard work and practice. 

Though, thanks to Sue being…well, Sue, she needed to learn to protect herself emotionally rather early on. Her personality was as hard as her calf muscles, at least, that’s what she let the world see. Those who are closest to her know that deep down she is warm and compassionate. She is never unkind if she can help it, she just feels a certain detachment to most people and situations and keeps everyone at arm’s length.

After highschool, Joni continued to cheer, dance and compete in gymnastics for a college team, while gaining a degree in Kinesiology, studying the body and movement. She also became a certified personal trainer and started creating workout programs, and promoting them on Instagram and Tik Tok. The programs took off quickly, and Joni dove in head first, she’s become a fitness influencer, though she focuses on body positivity, strengthening, and overall health, NOT weight loss, or unhealthy expectations and standards. She took an interest in learning pole dancing when she was in college, and about a year ago opened a studio where she now gives pole dancing lessons, with a team working under her. Of course, she also uses her program and studio to help promote Sue’s clothing brand, not wanting to be disowned, and her clients do enjoy a small discount from buying through her, but that’s only a small part of her business and she likes to imagine that she’d be just as successful without the connection to her mother’s success.

She’s just recently registered for classes at PSU, she’ll be getting her masters degree in nutrition and dietetics so that she can feel comfortable in launching a nutrition side to her Juicy Peach. She refuses to go in blind and doesn’t trust anyone else to commit to her vision of total health. She will not offer diet plans, and doesn’t trust anyone else to fully understand her need for the nutrition side of the company to remain about total health and never ever about being ‘skinny’. 

FAMILY BACKGROUND

Sue Sylvester is many things. A world-renowned cheerleading coach. Owner of one of the highest-grossing athleisure brands with brick-and-mortar stores in over 17 counties plus Greenland. Founder of multiple organizations dedicated to providing resources and education on Downs Syndrome. A serial lawsuit-sender (a Sue-er, if you will). And, the title she holds in the fifth highest regard, a mother.

Of course she couldn’t put her career on hold for the nine months it took to properly cook a baby, so for most of her children she went the adoption route. Much quicker that way, although it did give her the brilliant idea to add maternity tracksuits to Sue-perStar Athleisure’s line.

Don’t get it twisted, though. Although few men have been worthy of fertilizing her award-winning uterus, Sue has had her fair share of relationships. Sure they all ended in her husbands mysteriously dying by unknown causes with her as the sole beneficiary. But the cops can’t prove anything, and she’s successfully shut down all the Reddits dedicated to the conspiracies, so mind your business.
