Joanne Cook

Joanne Cook was a woman who became close to Kensdale Public Library librarian Kate Park. Following the disappearance of her younger brother, Jordan Cook, she found the library to be her only place of safety. She knew about Kate's occult research and too believed there was something evil surrounding Amanda the Adventurer. Following Kate's death, Joanne brought her nibling Riley Park to the library to destroy the Amanda the Adventurer tapes and find a way to stop Hameln Entertainment. Before she and Riley could leave, Joanne was killed by a demonic entity attracted to the tapes. Joanne's younger brother, Jordan Cook, was a fan of Amanda the Adventurer, which Joanne thought was "really sweet" and "wholesome". Later, she occasionally found Jordan standing in front of their TV in a trance-like state, and felt as if Amanda was talking to him. Jordan later vanished, an occurrence that impacted his and Joanne's parents, who eventually died due to grief. While the police suspected it was a kidnapping, Joanne figured there was more to the case, but nobody believed her. She would later find the Kensdale Public Library to be her only place of safety. Two years later, Joanne sent a pair of letters to librarian Kate Park after she heard about her "other kind of work" that researched Amanda the Adventurer's production company, Hameln Entertainment, and the demonic references placed in the show. Joanne would become close with Kate, being grateful to have someone she could trust. In 2023,[1] still attempting to find Jordan, Joanne was told one day he was trapped in the Amanda the Adventurer tapes and she could free him by smashing them. With Kate owning numerous tapes, Joanne went to her house and demanded she give them to her. The Entity, protecting the tapes, attacked, and Kate escaped after being urged by Joanne. Although Joanne didn't want to be at fault for Kate getting hurt, she was killed in a car crash (you are your own OC)
