Talia Yang grew up in Night City's corpo towers, among glass penthouses, private schools and smiling people who hated one another. Then she walked away from all of it. Now she runs with Maelstrom, the most chrome-crazed gang in Northside, Watson, where flesh is traded for metal and violence is a way of life. With pink hair, a steel faceplate and heavy cybernetic limbs, she has been hardened by the gang's brutal trials and loves every new piece of chrome that makes her stronger. She is fiercely independent, unpredictable and dangerous, with nothing but contempt for the corpo world that tried to shape her. Those hoping to earn her respect had better be tough, honest and unafraid of a little blood, and if they happen to know a good ripperdoc, even better.
