Biography
Joanna Dark was a female human born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 18, 2000 where she was the daughter of Jack Dark. She was born with a rough beginning. Her mother died after giving birth to her and had severe spinal damage, which would require specialized experimental treatment throughout most of her childhood. The experience would haunt her subconscious for years. It wasn't until she was five years old that she could walk on her own. She never knew her mother, who died shortly after she was born. When she was 7 years old, the young Joanna's father, Jack Dark, began teaching her to fight, including how to properly operate firearms. Jack was a bounty hunter, and he took Joanna with him as he tracked criminals across the world. She briefly attended an American school in Beijing, China, but was expelled after hospitalizing another student following a bullying incident. As a result, she was homeschooled by her father, including some online and remote teaching, and tutoring by AI lecturers. Her innate curiosity filled in most of the gaps. As a teenager, Joanna did not directly assist Jack in his missions. She was left to regularly perform weapon maintenance, provide secondary assistance, and train on the HoloMan and DeathMatch VR systems.
In 2020, Joanna and Jack ran into financial trouble. Needing the money, Chandra signed Dark Bail Bonds onto a contract to apprehend Nathan Zeigler, with the reward being $475,000. They tracked and subsequently chased Zeigler across the globe. They finally tracked him to Hong Kong, where he was captured by a Triad gang. Joanna was to assist Jack on her first field op, hanging back while Jack extracts Zeigler from Killian's nightclub. She is inserted by Chandra Sekhar via speedboat on a dock. When Jack gets into trouble in the nightclub, Joanna fights Killian's thugs as she moves through the building. Joanna arrives to assist, but she throws Jack's guard off and Killian is able to escape.
