 Joanna Dark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was home educated for most of her life by her father, Jack Dark, who took her with him as he tracked criminals across the globe as a bounty hunter and owner of Dark Bail Bonds.
While driven to avenge her father's death, Joanna's goals coincided with those of the Carrington Institute, an organization founded by Daniel Carrington, which is officially an RandD centre but secretly operates an espionage group.
Joanna was sent by the Institute to infiltrate a mining operation in an ancient Peruvian temple, where she discovered the conspiracy: Zhang Li and Mai-Hem are searching for an ancient artefact known as "The Graal", which imbues its possessor with superhuman powers.

 Perfect Dark Zero Review (Perfect Dark Recon)
As a member of her father's bounty hunting business Dark Bail Bonds, the story follows Joanna's humble beginnings across 14 missions, giving you a taste of the life of a bounty hunter early on to the all-out war against dataDyne on Carrington's behalf further down the track.
The character style gives a strong nod to Joanna's young and carefree personality, with a funkier and less gritty atmosphere - the way things were in her life before becoming tangled in dataDyne's mishaps.
While not as groundbreaking or memorable as the original and whether it lives up to the Perfect Dark brand or not the center of heated debate among gamers, it does the job of setting the scene for the story to follow in its own style and sets the stage for Rare's future Xbox 360 antics.

Joanna views the world exclusively in first-person (hit the left button for a brief autonomic third-person view as Joanna dive-rolls forward) and wields an array of futuristic weaponry with primary and secondary fire modes.
Live brawls are either deathmatches, where the highest kill count wins, or "dark ops," which add a cash-and-carry element: At the close of a round, players buy weapons with personal cash earned through previous enemy kills.
Where the original Perfect Dark capitalized on the tight FPS gameplay of the most beloved console shooter of all time (Goldeneye 64), PDZ squanders the Xbox 360's potential on mere sound and fury.

It would be fun to be the swearing squirrel Conker bumping off Joanna Dark or Abe or the cast of Halo.
Even if Rare does create characters that embrace the younger set (although I would rank the anime Joanna as more teen because of the figure) it is a good thing because that is something different than what MS Game Studios has been developing so far.
Joanna can never be considered "kiddy" it's PD man it's about head shots deadly aresenals holding gaurds up at gun point putting there health up to 1000% and then assaulting them in the most unholy way possible if that's kiddy then I guess our kids are seriously f'd-up
