Joana

 is a prostitute living in the Gomorrah Casino in 2281.

Background
Joana is a prostitute who can be found dancing in the Courtyard of Gomorrah or in her room just off the second floor of the courtyard. The Courier may have sex with her for free after two speech checks (50 & 75) or with either the Lady Killer or Cherchez La Femme perk, otherwise the price is 100 caps.

Joana is addicted to Med-X using it to deal with the loss of her lover Carlitos and the sexual abuse by the Omertas lieutenant Cachino. With a high enough Medicine score (50) you can call her out on her addiction and initiate her quest, Bye Bye Love. Alternatively, if you wait one or two more dialogue choices, an option to do another speech check, score (75), and you can ask her what her problem is and she will give you her quest if you continue the dialogue.

In one of the endings of the Bye Bye Love quest, she will become the girlfriend of her long lost lover Carlitos. If she survives the Bye Bye Love quest she will inform you that there is something going on in the Gomorrah, and starts the quest How Little We Know; provided you are not involved in this quest already.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas. Joana can be found in the Gomorrah courtyard and should initiate dialogue with the Courier as soon as they enter the area.
