Johanna Golden

Johanna Golden is a character played by Carbie.
==Description==
Johanna Golden is a therapist with the Los Santos Medical Group, working under Sarah Tonin. Along with this, Johanna dedicates herself to being a caretaker for injured people, due to her experience taking care of her ill twin sister in her youth. 
==Background==
Johanna was born a twin. Her sister Hannah was very sick from birth, and who Johanna had to take care of for most of her life. Eventually, Hannah died in her sleep at age 12 from a heart problem, leaving Johanna alone and scared, and incredibly guilty. The trauma of constantly losing sleep over having to take care of every little thing in the household, her sister's death, and her undiagnosed mental illness all lead to Johanna beginning to hear her sister's voice in her head.
After moving to Los Santos, Johanna would later reconcile with her mom Samantha. Sam's trauma of losing her siblings at a young age made her not want to get attached to Hannah and lose another child, thus saddling Johanna with the responsibility. Now, many years after the fact, she has gone to therapy, found a new husband, and has a new child, Bobby, who is Johanna's half sibling. Johanna has forgiven her mother for her actions, but has not forgotten them. 
When the Los Santos economy collapsed, Johanna went back home to New York to reconnect with her mother, support her new sibling, and get a degree in psychology. While there she was officially diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, and is still taking medication for her mood swings to this day.
