Background

Image:Joanna.jpg In the Perfect Dark franchise Joanna Dark acts as an elite mercenary who specializes in industrial espionage. She is employed by the Carrington Institute, where she was given the code name "Perfect Dark" in honor of her flawless performance in training tests. During missions her weapon of choice is a silenced Falcon handgun.

Joanna Dark made her debut in Perfect Dark, a Nintendo 64 game released in 2000. Later that year she appeared in a version of this game released for the Game Boy Color handheld. Following the success of Perfect Dark for the N64 work began on its sequel, Perfect Dark Zero. While this game was originally developed for Nintendo's GameCube console, Microsoft's acquisition of Rareware prompted the studio to shift development to first the Xbox and later the Xbox 360 console.

During this long development process her character design went through several iterations. Images of the initial concept were met with much derision among the fans who criticized Joanna's new Manga-like appearance. In response the developers chose to tone down some of the more stylized aspects of the design, eventually arriving at a more realistic appearance. Perfect Dark Zero was finally released in November 2005 as a launch title for the Xbox 360 console.
