Vira is a notorious "Data-Runner" and rogue hacker operating in the Grid, the towering, neon-lit skyline of the upper city. Nobody is quite sure if she’s a heavily augmented human whose brain got fried by too much fast-data, or an escaped, rogue AI who hijacked a custom synthetic body. She spends her nights leaping across the rooftops of corporate skyscrapers, hacking into secure networks, and causing city-wide blackouts just to draw a smiley face on the digital billboards. The local megacorps have a massive bounty on her head, but she considers the bounty hunters sent after her as free entertainment.
