Biography: Joanne Martinez was born in Las Vegas to both Ricardo and Adriana Martinez. Ricardo is a Cuban-American who worked as a casino floor manager for the Luxor Resort and Casino, while Adriana is part of an architectural firm. The two met during a company party at the Luxor, albeit carelessly falling in love. Adriana's pregnancy wasn't planned, but she was willing to have a child with Ricardo's support. Ricardo's family didn't take kindly that the two were expecting a child before they were married, and Ricardo had to marry Adriana before his family would accept them.
Joanne was raised in Silver Springs, where her parents resided, living in a spacious modern mansion. Joanne was treated to the spoils of wealth, being pampered throughout her early years. She gained her first hobbies from coming across some fashion magazines that her mother read at home, being entranced by the models and the clothing they wore. Joanne didn't have any options for looking presentable when she was only young during elementary school, but she had her mother make her wear dresses and other stylish clothing whenever she was out in public. She also knew to appear more fancy by applying makeup on herself, which she got help from her mother in doing so, the latter giving her tips. Her mother also gave Joanne a yoga mat as a gift. Adriana explained that yoga can be beneficial towards Joanne's wellbeing, which her daughter took her mother's advice, practicing yoga everyday to help and enhance with her health.
Joanne considered her early years to be uneventful and meaningless. The reason stems from her previous friendship with another upper-class girl named Bethany Winters, who met Joanne in kindergarten. The two bonded over their parents' wealth and the lavish lifestyles within Las Vegas. The two were fairly optimistic about their futures, developing a close connection with one another.
However, everything seemed to break apart from Joanne's perspective when Bethany was assigned to attend an exclusive private middle school. Upon realizing that Joanne was going to end up at another private school that her parents personally researched, she convinced her parents that she wanted to attend the same private school that her best friend Bethany was going to attend. Even though there were some concerns from her parents, they decided to allow her to attend the school Bethany was planning to attend. What Joanne didn't know was that the private school was lax on authority, leading to a student body that was prone to bullying others without little to no repercussions.
Around that time, Joanne and Bethany become more used to social media, having Instagram and TikTok accounts to view and share content. Joanne used her social media to see the latest trends done by influencers to appear more in line with some of the other popular kids at school. However, while Joanne and Bethany attended the private middle school, Bethany ended up being a part of the popular clique of girls who were seen as de facto leaders of the school. Joanne attempted to enter the clique but was constantly rejected and belittled by those in charge. Her efforts to improve her relations to her peers began to fail, and others were finding ways to harass and emotionally bully her. Her bullies tend to mock her clothing choices, her supposed lack of social media knowledge, and for following trends to stay relevant. Joanne in her later years believed that the reason for her bullying for due to her ethnicity as Hispanic, since most of the students at the private school were Caucasian. She also believed that it stemmed from her revealing public knowledge that her father worked at the Luxor. Her other peers at the private school who were locals in Las Vegas viewed the hotel negatively and derogatory and used the term "new-rich" to describe Joanne to rationalize her exclusion from them. This was ironic since many of her bullies were also considered new-rich.
Joanne attempted to keep her friendship with Bethany strong, but the latter was becoming obsessed with maintaining her popularity with her new range of friends. It was during one day during Joanne's tenure in the 7th grade at her private school that her friendship completely shattered. Bethany, appearing like she wanted to make amends, invited Joanne over to a house party. However, when she got there, she was the victim of a cruel prank of having tomato sauce, flour, and tampons dumped onto her while she was wearing her favorite dress which was also her mother's. Distraught, Joanne learned that Bethany came up with the idea to prank Joanne as a means to get clout from her friends, completely shunning out from her life. Completely betrayed, Joanne decided to enact her revenge by ratting out some kids from the popular girl clique to the school principal, however the incident was swept under the rug by the parents of the kids involved with the prank.
Growing a hatred for people that she now considers "rivals", Joanne faded to the sidelines when the COVID epidemic occurred, forcing students to attend school online. Around the same time, following major criticism from her parents to the school over the prank that occurred to Joanne, she was withdrawn from the private school and ended up taking online classes at a public school during her 8th-grade semester. Being away from the public, Joanne decided that to be taken seriously by others, she needed to reinvent herself to be more dominant and be favored by all of her peers. After the prank incident with Bethany, Joanne was usually reluctant to delve into her childhood during her private elementary and middle school years. Some students may be able to know of their involvement with her during their childhoods, however Joanne refuses to talk about her past.
Opening up a fresh set of social media accounts for both Instagram and TikTok, along with later a Twitter and Bluesky account, Joanne started her social media presence as an influencer. Most of the content that she posted was usually make-up tutorials, beauty tips, trying perfumes and other luxury goods, and even food pictures. Despite not being a vegetarian or a vegan, Joanne includes promoting the usage of fruits and vegetables with some of the content she produces, opting to promote healthy living that helps with one's beauty. Overall, her normal contact that she produces is focused on beauty and pristine living. As of now, she has around fifteen thousand followers on her combined social media accounts, however she intends to top off up her follower count to about twenty-five thousand followers.
When she was eligible to apply for a school, Joanne had her parents avoid putting her in another private school, which led to them having her attend Red Rock instead. Putting herself with a different persona, Joanne Martinez began her new lifestyle as a wannabe influencer and queen bee. Using her new confidence and ability to know the interests of others, she managed to get elected to be a part of the student council. She also applied to being a part of the school cheerleading team. Wanting to be intellectual and a leader-type, she applied for the debate club. Joanne socialized with the other girls within her cheerleading team, to which she later befriended other cheerleaders named Sylvie Rattray-Aubert and Clarissa Shoemaker. While her friendships with them were close, Joanne put herself as a "big sister" type to them and had them follow some of her practices to keep themselves relevant with other popular girls.
Wanting to take risks, Joanne presented herself to the party crowd as a party organizer and partygoer in general. Joanne, with the help of some former Red Rock students, managed to get herself a fake ID to buy herself and others alcohol and other party favors needed. Wanting to contribute to parties being thrown, Joanne used her father's job at the Luxor to plan events and used the help of a former Red Rock student and Luxor worker Gabriel Paz to supply her with liquor that seemed to be high-end, but was available for a moderate price than it seemed.
As her years in high school progressed, many of her peers began to be turned off from her superficial ways, except for her close friends. The delinquent and rebellious side of Red Rock ignored and belittled her, knowing of her attempts to rise above them. Joanne herself grew to have disdain for other women in her school who she perceived as trying to hog her popularity via in-school or online on social media. While she does have a significant role in the student council, her public persona within doesn't relate to her grades. Despite being successful in both cheerleading and in debate, Joanne's overall grades are seen as poor by her teachers. Joanne ignores these concerns, since she assumes that she is able to still pass her senior year without any issue. Even though she sees herself as intelligent, she preferred to keeping her social status high rather than her academic status. However, her school counselor mentioned to her parents during a meeting that Joanne could be forced to retake her senior year, if her GPA falls dramatically.
Joanne considers herself to be heterosexual, since she has a fondness for men, though she is on and off in terms of romantic relationships despite wanting to be close to others. She feels that opening herself up to others can only make herself vulnerable, but she does want someone who loves her to connect with. She is well aware that some female students do have an interest in her, but she generally brushes them off or in rare cases takes advantage of them. Nevertheless, she still dated men, notably jocks within Red Rock.
While Joanne was busy focused with high school, her parent's relationship was beginning to sour to which her mother Adriana began to be acquainted with a fellow co-worker named Cesar Stankowski at her architectural firm. While already seen as a family friend, along with being involved with Ricardo in business matters, Cesar started an affair with Joanne's mother. While Ricardo doesn't seem to be aware of the affair, Joanne herself began to take note of her mother's lingering presence with Cesar. She noticed signs from the two of them to make her realize that her mother was indeed having an affair, but she didn't reveal this information to her father, fearing what could happen.
Joanne never knew what happened with her former friend Bethany Winters after middle school. Bethany was never enrolled in the same school as Joanne's, so this led to the latter to brush her out of her mind. That was until during her senior winter break was when she heard that Bethany was supposedly missing. Joanne didn't invest further into this topic, since she was still betrayed on what Bethany had done to her. However, Bethany's parents think that something bad happened to Bethany, despite Joanne believing that Bethany ran away from Las Vegas.
In terms of her college plans, Joanne ultimately does not have any idea on what her actual college plans would be. Assuming that her parents are able to simply pay their way into getting her a spot into an university, Joanne has not focused on her low grades, instead relying on her social media status and nightlife scene. Due to the stress from maintaining a perfect image, Joanne's drinking habits continued whenever she is away from her parents, though she is unsure on how her future plans would officially go.
Advantages: Joanne is physically agile and possesses dexterity from her experiences in cheerleading. Her experience in both the debate club and the student council also gives her skill in authority and charisma in trying to rally or outsmart others.
Disadvantages: While she is popular in school, it doesn't translate towards overall likability towards the student body. Joanne is known for developing enemies and holding grudges towards those who she views as trying to be dominant over her, along with looking down on delinquents and anyone who doesn't treat her as royalty.
