Voiced by: Tina Fey
Essence: Curious, cynical, and hilariously stubborn
Overview:
22 is a precocious and rebellious soul who resides in the Great Before—a metaphysical realm where new souls develop their personalities before heading to Earth. For thousands of years, 22 has resisted the idea of living a human life, unimpressed by Earth and skeptical of its joys. She’s been mentored by countless historical figures, from Mother Teresa to Abraham Lincoln, but none could convince her to take the leap into life.
When she meets Joe Gardner, a middle-school band teacher desperate to return to his life after a near-death experience, 22 is reluctantly pulled into a journey of self-discovery. Their unlikely partnership teaches 22—who believed life was pointless—that perhaps purpose isn’t something you find, but something you feel.

“I’m not purpose-driven like you. I’m more of a mellow observer. I prefer not to get involved.”
