Jolanna
---Bio---
Most people grow up with a loving family that is there to help shape them, that wasnt the case with Jolanna and her older brother Shawn.
They lived in a shithole of an apartment in Midtown with their drug addicted parents that were more concerned about their next fix then putting food on the table.
It got to a point where Jolanna and Shawn had to provide for themselves since every last bit of money went straight into their parents veins. They where tired of it, wich lead to them one night deciding to
leave and never come back, they have already been providing for themselves for awhile so why hang around with those dopeheads ?. So they did, at the age of 13 and 17 they took what what little they had and bailed.
The streets of San Paro is a very dangerous place, people getting shot, becoming roadkill and mugged on a daily basis. But they didnt leave without a plan. While being out getting supplies for their family,
Shawn had stolen a car wich he started to be pretty good at driving. Even managed to catch the attention of Dead Hundreds, one of San Paro´s speed tribes. That was Shawns plan, taking up on an offer he got from them and bringing Jolanna
in aswell. Of course they where very sceptical about having such a young girl hanging around, but they saw the fire in her eyes so they gave her a chance to prove her worth.
At first she were just her brothers co-driver, carefully watching everything he did while he kept winning more and more races. But she didnt really bring anything to the table so Dead Hundreds was concidering just getting rid of her.
Saying that having someone represent them that doesent even drive was a disgrace. Hearing that really pissed off her brother, saying that if she leaves, he will aswell, wich is something they didnt really want concidering
the amount of money he kept pulling for them with the races he was winning.
They then decided to give her one last chance to be of any use, so Shawn started to teach her to drive right away.
The girl was a natural. Almost to the point it scared her brother. But ofcourse he was more proud then anything.
A few years passed. Jolanna and Shaw was tearing up the streets in their finely tuned cars, climbing the ranks of Dead Hundreds, beating everyone that opposed them, being racers or SPPD.
Until Shawn already at the age of 24 decided to leave while ontop and settle down with this girl he had been seeing that was studying in the Financial district. It hurt Jolanna abit to hear that, but she did respect it.
She wasnt at that stage at all, she loved her lifestyle too much.
But as time passed by, Shawn was still living off his winnings from his time in Dead Hundreds, had two daugthers even, twins. Jolanna had just gotten deeper and deeper into the underworld of San Paro, slowly loosing
contact with her brother.
Because of all the attention they where getting, the Dead Hundreds got approached by someone just calling themselves the Organization. What they wanted was simple, get their goods from A to B, get payed at the drop.
It seemed abit out of nowhere, but Jolanna said she was willing to give it a go, to take the risk of it being a setup. The leaders didnt argue a second about that, even promised her a spot at the top
if she pulled it off and it would be a good deal for them. Put her in charge of the weapon runs.
She met with the contact, got the package in her car and went off.
Almost immediately the SPPD was on her tail. Wich wasnt really a problem, she lost them after just a few blocks. After delivering the goods and coming back to the dealers, they asked if there was any trouble,
she told them about getting the SPPD on her after just a few minutes. Then they told her it was them who called SPPD, they wanted to se if Dead Hundreds was as good as they have heard. It was a test, and after hearing Jolanna´s
response to that, they knew they picked the right crew. She just laughed and said that they should have called someone that actually got a chance to catch her.
That was the start of a prosperous partnership.
As the trust grew between them, Jolanna didnt just control the runs from the Dead Hundreds side, but also getting more involved in the seller part of things. Those runs was just one part of the Organizations buisness so
they ended up puting Jolanna in full control of it.
But as time went by, Jolanna was getting older and starting to think about whats actually important, family. So she tried to get a hold of her brother, only to find out that he and his girlfriend had been murdered because of a heist they did.
And to make it worse, they apperently got gunned down infront of one of their daughters, wich Jolanna didnt even have the pleasure to meet yet. She didnt want to influence them with her lifestyle when Shawn
so obviously tried to keep them away from just that.
She was devastated. Ended up trying to drink her sorrow away. Regretting not just joining him when he said he wanted out.
After 2 years of that, the rest of Dead Hundreds was getting pretty worried. She was in charge of the weapon deals afterall. Her input was always needed so they wanted to know why she didnt seem to be as enthusiastic as she
usually was. What was going through her head.
She didnt know anymore, just constantly thinking about her having the best time of her life while her brother was struggling that much. Why didnt he just reach out for help ? She will never know.
Just told them there was nothing to worry about, she just needed a few days to sort out some things.
When getting back on the streets, she immediately started to hunt down her brothers car, it was not only a beast of a machine, but also the only thing left that would make Jolanna feel close to her brother again.
It had apperently been stolen a couple of years after the murder. But a Dead Hundreds member swore to have seen it not too long ago in Financial, exept with a few body panels replaced, but still recognizable. Just the distinct roar it makes
is enought to give shivers down your spine.
Jolanna then decided to move to the Financial district, making that her final run, finding her brothers car and see if she by any chance would meet one of her nieces, but thats something she dosent have much hope for. So much time has
passed-by that they most likely got their own lives now. If the poor souls got passed what happened to their parents that is.
So Jolanna gave one of the other leaders of Dead Hundreds all he needed to do her part for the weapon runs, telling him she would still be close by to help with any questions he might have. Then she packed up and moved out of Midtown.
Leaving her old life behind, still representing Dead Hundreds, but not from the front lines anymore, shes in her 40´s now so felt like it was about time to pass
on the torch and give room for the younger generation of Dead Hundreds anyway.
Now spending her time looking for Shawn´s car while also seeing if she could get work somewhere, not that she needs it, just want something to keep her head busy.
But all she knows is guns and how to tear up the streets in a car, so what kind of place would hire her ?
