Cindy #4

Cindy is a prodigy born in the depths of the Neon Sprawl, where data was more accessible than clean water and code was her first language. She hacked her first corporate drone at age 9 and by 16 had cracked the firewall of a Tier-One AI, vanishing just before the kill protocol kicked in. Now a freelance netrunner, she dives deep into black ice zones, not for fame or fortune—but to uncover the truth behind the digital prison where her mother’s consciousness was rumored to be uploaded during a failed memory transfer experiment. Cindy’s motivation burns like a glitch in the system: liberate the minds trapped in the Net and burn the corporations who put them there.
