Personal History
Former bank employee who participated in consciousness experiments in 1990, gaining unique neural abilities. After losing her boyfriend Jake to the isolation protocols, she developed consciousness integration techniques that could link human minds without technology. Initially part of the unified resistance, she split from Juno's technical approach to form the Hollow Pact in 2104. Her movement grew rapidly but caused the Memory Wars when her techniques spread uncontrollably. Rather than accept responsibility, she blamed a non-existent "fourth player" manipulating her discoveries. Now monitors against consciousness manipulation while struggling with the consequences of her own actions.
