Joanne (Joan)

Joanne is an alt of Jon combined with the female Inkling from the original Splatoon.

Origin
Joanne was originally created as a concept toward the end of the Proton Splat League's inaugural season as someone to be the face of the league.

Personality
Joanne normally shows a cold exterior to someone she first meets, normally snapping back with sarcasm. She is very competitive, as well as a bit obsessive. On the battlefield, Joanne is very confident as well as composed-- she thinks highly of herself, but not enough to blind her from being a decent team player (though she will sometimes take the time to show off). She tends to also get rather stoic and aggressive when met with a challenge, and considers this happening as a sign of respect.

Joanne enjoys sports and athletics, constantly playing in either Turf Wars or Ranked matches as a way of practice and actually calms her if something bothers her.

Joanne has a severe weakness for sweets, to the point of near gluttony. She seems to lack restraint, and will start getting crafty if she gets denied some.

Lore
Joanne is a member and sponsor for the "Proton Splat League". Joanne's job is to basically be the face of the "Proton Splat League", alongside her co-workers Oni and Giri. Joanne was originally very self-isolated and kept to herself, wanting no part in the antics of the other alts. Eventually, she warmed up to it and started forming bonds.

The Thickness Sickness
On one Friday the 13th, Joanne was having a casual conversation with RosaJon, when suddenly their body types got swapped. Originally intended as just a joke by PonPon, when they were supposedly to have swapped back, Joanne had remained changed. It was explained that when the swap had happened, Joanne had absorbed some of RosaJon's magic; keeping her bigger and possibly being permanent-- thus being dubbed the "Thickness Sickness".

Originally, Joanne was very concerned about it, looking for anyone to hear her complaints and hopefully change her back to normal. However, she started to come around when she noticed that she was getting a lot of attention. There have been a few mishaps: such as her sickness getting out of control and accidently knocking Oni off the cruise ship during their travels in the Proton Splat League's 3rd season.

Eventually, her competitiveness kicked in, and she constantly tried to outdo RosaJon for attention, and developed a Tiger-Brew addiction. Her obsession would worsen until she challenged RosaJon to a swimsuit competition, losing easily and attempting to cheat; in doing so her obsession split from her and personified itself as Josephine. Having removed from her, Joanne immediately started being at odds with her other half due to Josephine resenting being treated as a clone. Personally, Joanne also wanted to disassociate herself, as Josephine shows off the extreme example of Joanne's worst traits -- her overconfidence, her extreme competitiveness, and reminded of her attention-seeking during the Sickness.

Though, this has also given Joanne closure. She's begun to accept herself for who she is, and is starting to see the positives on where past events have taken her. The Thickness Sickness has given her enough confidence to better do her job at the Proton Splat League, as well as starting to accept other minor modeling gigs when the league isn't operating. She's also eased up on the snark and typically opens herself up more to others.
