Fanon:Joanna Parker

Joanna Parker (née Rose) is a Sim who resides in Willow Creek with her husband, James and her four children, Jared, Jacob, Julia, and Jenna.

She originally is an aspiring writer and begins working as a Writer's Assistant in the Writer career. However, after giving birth to her fifth child, Jordan and returning to work for the first time, Joanna decides to quit and become a full time stay-at-home mother.

Background
Just like her husband James, not much is known about Joanna's own immediate family. Although, it is known that she is the older sister to Jackie, thus implying that she and Jackie share the same set of parents. It is also implied that she and James have dated for many years as they are described as being longtime sweethearts. After dating for all those years, Joanna gets married to James.

The Sims 4
After getting married, Joanna moves in with James into Potters Splay, Courtyard Lane, Willow Creek. That is where she begins her writing career as a Writer's Assistant. While pursuing her passion, Joanna has four children with James, Jared, Jacob, Julia, and Jenna. Jenna's birth then causes her younger sister Jackie to move in to help out, despite Joanna not needing it. Jackie also tells Joanna that she'll help out as long as there are no more children. Joanna also befriends her neighbor, Sage Cagle.

Not too long after Jackie's moving in does Joanna get pregnant again. She immediately tells James about it, but keeps it a secret from the rest of her family. But when she tells Sage about her nervousness, Sage suggests that she tell her family and let the events play out no matter what. Joanna tells Jackie about her pregnancy last and when she does, she learns that Jackie had been joking about moving out if there were any more children.

Joanna is relieved and her pregnancy plays out normally. She decides to take her maternity early as soon as she enters her third trimester. While on maternity, she teaches Jenna her skills, but also notices that there won't be any room for the baby when it comes. So, she suggests to James to build a nursery and one is built right next to her bedroom. The next day, Joanna goes into labor and gives birth to a baby boy named Jordan.

Then, the day after giving birth to Jordan, Joanna returns to work for the first time while James takes care of the newborn. At work, Joanna is offered a promotion to Blogger, but she ultimately turns it down. When she comes home, she announces to James and Jackie that she's quitting to become a stay at home mother. James and Jackie tell her they have her support, with Jackie adding she'll help provide if times are desperate. However, when her first day as a full time stay at home mother proves to be a little more stressful than ever, Joanna is given the night off with James by Jackie and the Twins. To celebrate, James and Joanna go on a date to the XP Mont restaurant, an experimental restaurant. While she's enjoying her evening with James, they run into Riley and Sage Cagle and they decide to turn Date Night into Couples Night.

A couple of days later, Joanna freaks out when she has to narrowly pay the bills. Thankfully, her freak out subsides when she learns that James has been promoted. Then about a week later, Joanna notices that a couple of new neighbors are moving into Courtyard Lane. She decides to introduce herself to them. The first new neighbor she introduces herself to is David Wren, a bachelor who moved in right across the street. After having a quick conversation, Joanna invites David over for dinner one night. The second new neighbor Joanna introduces herself to is Monique Browne, who moved in down the street. Joanna learns that Monique is a recently divorced single mother and so she is raising her son, Damian Browne, alone. Joanna decides to invite Monique and Damian over for a playdate one day.

The morning after having David over for dinner, Joanna helps Jenna master her thinking skill by teaching her more shapes. Because Jenna is able to master it, James becomes Best Friends Forever with Joanna. Then, Monique and Damian come over for the playdate after everyone has left for work or school. As their children play, Joanna becomes friends with Monique. Then the next day, Joanna helps Jenna master her imagination skill by reading her a bedtime story for naptime.

The next day, on Saturday evening, Joanna learns from Jared that he's been dating someone and that he's ready for her and James to meet her. Joanna tells Jared that she's excited to meet his girlfriend, but also proud that Jared is ready for such a step. Over the course of the next few days, Joanna manages to master her cooking skill.

One day, Joanna receives a call from Sage that she has to visit her home soon. After she finishes the call, Joanna goes to take care of Jordan only to find Jared's girlfriend, Karissa, already there. They meet and instantly hit it off. Joanna then informs Jared that he'll be in charge tomorrow after school while she visits Sage. At the end of the day, Joanna, along with James, tell Jared that they like his girlfriend, resulting in Jared's happiness.

The next afternoon, Joanna goes over to the Cagles' house as Sage suggested, leaving Jared in charge. Once there, Joanna learns from Sage that her and her family plan on moving due to Sage getting a huge job offer. Joanna feels happiness for them and spends the rest of the afternoon with the entire Cagle family, trying to get to know them a bit better. Later on, Joanna tells James about the Cagles' move while ignoring the fact that her husband has just been promoted. Even later, before bed, Joanna suggests to James that they should host a going away party for the Cagles and invite the whole neighborhood. James says he completely agrees as he pecks her cheek.

After everyone has left the house for the day, Joanna calls up David and Monique to tell them about her plan. They both tell her that they already know about the Cagles' move, which leaves Monique particularly upset. Joanna quickly cheers her up and tells them that she is going to throw a surprise going away party for the Cagles. She also tells David and Monique that they are both invited. David and Monique both agree and say it's a wonderful idea. Joanna then tells them that the party will be that Saturday. That evening, Joanna cooks a grand ham for dinner before informing her family about the Cagles' move. She adds some emphasis that it's a neighborhood-only gathering and anyone else is left uninvited.

Despite thinking planning the party would be easy, Joanna gets a little stressed out making sure everything is set in a couple of days. She decides to destress by watching the premiere of the popular reality show, Waltzing with Celebrities. However, the television decides to break, adding on more stress. Although, the television repair man is able to fix the television and Joanna is able to watch the premiere.

The next day at the Cagles' going away party, Joanna learns from Sage that Eugi is upset about the move. Joanna decides that she will talk to him in order to cheer him up. However, when she goes to talk to him, Joanna also learns from Eugi that he calmed down because Julia helped him.
