Appearance
Josten has pale skin, gentle blue eyes, and stands about 5'8 1/2" in American measurement. His platinum blonde hair is thick and bushy with outgrown bangs, but is shorter in the back; he has a thin, but masculine figure.
- Uniform -- He wears a common Squire uniform consisting of a long sleeveless red tunic with a sapphire blue crest on the front, a blue undershirt and matching leggings, a black belt with a silver buckle, and dark brown shoes. He frequently keeps a silver sword on hand, but also has a small flute hidden in his undershirt.
- Royal -- He wears a maroon red minstrel hat with a yellow feather on the right side, charcoal grey calf-length boots and matching elbow-length gloves, a dark red tunic with short sleeves, a yellow undershirt and leggings, and a gold-clasped red-brown caplet. His waist-belt is black with a gold hinge while a gold platelet connects the clasps of his caplet.
Voice Actor(s)
The best voice actor for Sir Josten would be Justin Timberlake speaking in an English accent. He is a well-known American pop culture singer, and voiced Arthur Pendragon in Shrek the Third.
Trivia
- His physical appearance was initially based off of Terence from Disney's Pixie Hollow series and Numbuh 404's high school friend, Mars McCullough. Later, his eyes have been changed from standard black to light blue for two main reasons: (1) Blue is the color of the sky and water, both elements of the natural world. (2) This eye color is more common in Germans, which was considered the "superior" race during the WWII Era.
- His personality and development are based on Numbuh 404, and his backstory is inspired from a classic fairytale (yet to be revealed). However, some inspiration derives from the average "Disney princess" archetype.
- Despite being quite the artist, he is right-handed.
- His character songs are "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" by The Police, "Shot At The Night" by The Killers, and "Magic" by Coldplay.
- His birthday is May 3rd and his zodiac sign is Taurus. His favorite Season is Spring because he loves seeing the natural world come to life after a long winter. As pointed out by Falla, he seems to have a "healthy glow" at this time of year while Peewit thinks he has some sort of "spring fever" that causes Dandruff.
- In a non-canonical dream-based story, a villain seeking control of the King's castle is disguised as Josten to fool everyone into blaming the squire.
- Unbeknownst to everyone besides Clockwork, he keeps a personal journal.
- He prefers green tea flavors, but he may occasionally accept Lemongrass.
- He is a poor swimmer and will only enter deep water if it is absolutely necessary.
- A parody character page for Josten now exists on the satirical Smorfs Wiki, and Numbuh 404 has made a reaction video about it. WARNING: there is some adult language in this video.
