=Character Information=
===Summary===
An English-speaking Quebecois. Shooter and Brawler. Capable of mixing it up in the Astral and the Meat. Wryly self-depreciating. Competent All-Rounder without "shining" (I see what you did there) at anything in particular. Shine's "secret" relationship with the runner [[Zenith]] is something that far more runners are aware of (or at least suspect) than either of them are comfortable with.

===Goals===
Stay Alive. Find out what happened to Frakk Up her life. Never, ever, let anyone find out how she earned a living while crossing North America. Try to re-capture something resembling a "normal" life. Keep [[Zenith]] safe. Be a good friend/surrogate mom to Zenith's daughter Harriot.

===Alignment===
Black Trenchcoat: She's lived the Corporate life and lived the street. She's not a black-hat, but her outlook is morally ambiguous at best. Hooding a rarity. Or so she likes to tell herself. The truth is that Shine followed her parents into CrashCart because she saw herself as one of the "good guys". While she strives hard to wear the black hat she thinks she needs to survive, the simple truth is that she has a altruistic streak wider than Puget Sound.<gallery mode="packed" widths="240" heights="360">

==Background==
A former, lifelong citizen and employee of EVO, Monique is Parisian by birth but moved to Quebec with her parents at an early age, The IV-conceived middle daughter of a Nurse and a radiographer; Monique took full-time employment with Crash Cart fresh out of high school. She was a true believer in the Corp and it's message, having been employed first as an ambulance cleaner outside of high school hours and then signing up as security for one of the nicer Crash Cart clinics in Montreal. She handled door and emergency room security for the better part of three years before she spontaneously awakened at the age of 19. She played on her newly discovered abilities until she wrangled herself a seat as a member of the security team on one of the clinic's mobile recovery units shortly before her 21st birthday.

There she stayed until about nine months into 2080. What at first looked like an ordinary retrieval run for a Ares citizen on a restricted research site soon turned into a major drek fest, with more than a dozen of the on-site Ares personnel flat-lining before she even arrived. Her crew drove straight into what looked to be a blue-on-blue gunfight between multiple Ares factions. Monique provided cover for her team to stabilise and extract as many Crash Cart clients as they could, only for her ambulance to be taken down hard by something -or someone- she didn't even see. She barely remembers fragments of the next few hours - her burning ambulance. Several dead crewmates. Something monstrous and impossible silhouetted against the flames. She's not even sure which of her team-mates dragged her out of the clusterfuck and into a sewage culvert before going back to rescue the others and -presumably- getting themselves geeked in the process.

When she woke up, her CrashCart wristband was dead and legally, so was she. Her co-workers refused to take her calls, her distraught mothers cursed her for making a crank-call and then minutes later her corp-sponsored com-link account was cut dead. Nothing worked. Not even the fob that would allow her access to her apartment building. Going home proved to be nearly the biggest -and last- mistake she ever made. THEY had been waiting for her. Whoever -they- were. When she finally staggered away into the Montreal barrens, she had a couple of rounds in her right thigh to add to her flash burns and concussion from the firefight the night before.

Monique -finally- made it out of the city, hitching her way across North America with private citizens, truckers, and even stowing away on cargo freight. The first time one of her benefactors tried to accept payment in kind she was still too shell-shocked, lonely and desperate to turn him down. When he tossed a near-empty credstick her way afterwards, she wept harder than she had for years. But she still took the money. Thereafter, she turned tricks where she could - and only when truly desperate- and slowly made her way to Seattle over the course of half a year.

That's where she met Clyde, the trog taxi-driver who introduced her to the world of the Shadows via the refuge at Solace. Clyde, tripping out of his mind and claiming he could see her aura, convinced Monique that the shadows of Seattle were her chance to "shine". She turned her last trick to pay for her shiny new (refurbished) Ingram Smartgun. Now she's got the chance of a new life and an entirely different means of living, and she plans to make the most of it.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

*'''Agile Defender:''' Shine relies on instinct and agility rather than determination and focus when acting defensively.
*'''Adept - The Warrior's Way:''' Much to her families disappointment, Monique chose to direct her talents towards combat and security rather than healing.
*'''Big Regret (Former Joygirl):''' Driven by desperation, Monique sold her body to strangers. She's not entirely aware of what haunts her more: selling herself for so little, or selling herself at all.
*'''Favoured (Health Care Professionals):''' Monique has always felt most at home in the company of health-care professionals, ranging from unpaid stay-at-home carers to the highest paid neurosurgeons and researchers.
*'''Martial Artist (Fireteam):''' Shine learned the basics of the CrashCart version of Fireteam some years ago, and has begun to perfect her practice in recent weeks.
*'''Mentor Spirit: Spider (Alt):''' After her recent experiences with Bugs, Shine has attracted the attention of Spider, with whom she has formed an alliance while keeping in mind the the ancient adage: "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No Less". Despite her cynicism towards her new mentor spirit, Spider and Shine are well matched. Both can be entirely ruthless towards their enemies, and they both absolutely ''loathe'' things not going according to plan.
*'''Social Stress''' - Monique occasionally encounters individuals who remind her of clients from her old life. She knows the chances of any of these individuals actually being a former John or Jane are vanishingly small, but seeing them makes her palms sweat.
*'''The Goat''' - Monique has a haunted, wary look about her. She's forever checking out her six. And her 3. And her 9, the ceiling and even the floor. She doesn't know what she's looking for, but she's concerned that one day she'll see it. Her wariness sets people a little on edge. Especially when making first impressions.
*'''Wanted''' - Shine's run during Fortune Favoured went very, very wrong. She's now wanted by both the Salish-Shidhe Council and Seattle Council for 50,000 Nuyen each for robbing the Seattle Museum. However, this may be less than a token gesture. The "Wanted" is attached to little more than a description of a human sized female with a sword wearing Sleeping Tiger and carrying a Katana. No astral signature, DNA or biometrics were left at the scene.

==Run History==

'''2081:''' Shine arrives in Seattle with barely anything to her name beyond a duffle bag and an Ingram SMG. [[Clyde]] sets her up with [[Alessa P|Alessa P.]] who in turn sets her up with Shadowhaven and Solace. In her first few weeks as a Runner, she makes an enemy of the local Yakuza by twice hitting a Benraku parlour - once for a Johnson, and again on a hooding run to free the dolls within. Feeling the heat, she wisely decides to lay low for most of the rest of the year, performing simple courier and bootlegging runs for Alessa to stay under the radar.

'''2082:''' '''February''' marks Shine's return to Shadowhaven with the extraction of [[Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson III|Brodie J]] from his ganger captors on behalf of his former lover [[Cecelia Cross]]. A simple milk run goes wrong a few days later when a [[Zenith|fellow runner's]] near-dependent is apparently abducted from a college frat party. Finally, Shine hits the big time with an assault on a Bug Hive in the company of some of the Haven's biggest names. March does not begin well for Shine, with a failed run in Greece (followed by a pilgrimage to the Acropolis) and a second, more successful run, that leaves her heavily indebted to [[Warboss]] and wanted by both Seattle and the Salish Shidhe Council. '''April''' see's Shine move into the home of [[Zenith]] in order to protect her fellow runner's daughter from a kidnap/abduction plot. She falls in love with [[Zenith]] during this time and the two begin a secretive affair. '''May 2082:''' This month started with Harriot's birthday party, with Shine and Vip3r helping Zenith ensure the party was safe and a happy day for his daughter, but she's furious when he almost gets himself killed chasing a lead concerning his ex-wife. Later that month, she helps Vip3r rescue one of her parents. '''Summer''' of 2082 is largely spent in Germany, where Harriot is enjoying an internship with Saeder Krupp. Shine keeps herself busy with counter-intelligence work and making sure Harriot stays safe.

Note: Shine has left Solace in February 2082 when it became apparent that the location was being used to provide "nutrition" to the infected in the form of terminally ill patients. Though it is claimed that the patients in question are "volunteers" she hasn't been able to confirm this to her satisfaction. Nevertheless, she retains many friends within the group, particularly among the street people and low-level runners who once relied upon her for medical care. Her relations with senior members of the organisation remain tense.

==Appearance==
<gallery mode="packed" widths="240" heights="360">
File:SHINE.jpg
</gallery>
===General Description and Clothing===
A short, agile young woman with dark, collar length hair. Shine has an intense, haunted look in her eyes and a disconcerting habit of constantly checking her three o'clock, her nine, her six and even her ceiling in a calm, professional manner than non-the-less attracts attention and arouses suspicion in SINers and can put other Runners on Edge (The Goat Quality). Her movements are preternaturally swift, but far too smooth and graceful to be simply the result of wired reflexes. When she crosses a room swiftly, it's like observing a ballerina cross the stage - but with a doubled frame rate.

Monique has two tattoos One of a rose surrounded by thorns on the right side of her neck and a larger tattoo, twin to the first, on the right side of her body at the waistline. Prior to the events of [[Athens Initiation]] she wore her old CrashCart ID tags on a black leather thong around her neck. The only jewellery that's always on her person is an item she acquired in early March 2082: a thin silver-platinum band on her right ring finger engraved with an onyx and garnet black widow spider.

She's good looking in an unremarkable sort of way, but hardly a head-turner were it not for her noticeably cautious behaviours. While her original "runner" clothes are rather grimy, somewhat malodourous and in need of a wash, she still keeps them from a sense of sentimentality. Shine's present runner gear ranges from customised, re-purposed SWAT armour to clothing by Zoe and even the latest in tactical stealth suits. When she needs to remain low-key and blend into the street, she still wears the same grimy armoured leathers and ballistic armour that kept her alive in her early runs, yet her day to day wear ranges from jogger bottom and t-shirts at home, to ten thousand nuyen ball gowns and dresses. Shine is all but addicted to clothes shopping, and since breaking into semi-prime runner territory, has developed a wardrobe so extensive that she rarely needs to wear the same outfit more than once a season. The sole exceptions are her armoured clothing, for which she has an appropriate set for any social or tactical occasion.

Shines personal, physical hygiene is simply flawless. Even in her grimiest, earliest days as a runner and street-dweller she took pains to maintain her appearance. Now that's got some spare nuyen, she simply finds it easier to retain her freshly washed, shiny hair and impeccably clean fingernails and skin. While she continues to wear little in the way of day-to-day make-up save for some foundation and black eye-liner, she's content to spent considerably more on her cosmetics and is no longer reliant on risky, boot-leg street-corner cosmetic purchases. Shine likes to dye her hair -platinum blue when she can afford her favourite brand and shade; something she can now afford far more regularly than before. Yet her professionalism is such that she'll return her hair to it's natural, darker colour before heading out on a run and usually keeps a bottle of dye-remover in her duffel.

=Character Information=
===Summary===
A woman pushed to the edge by a year of imprisonment at the hands of Vampires and Banshees. Driven to the shadows to take her revenge, she'll begin by learning how to murder dangerous metahumans, then move on to her true prey.

Cry is *not* a fanatic. Neither she is entirely obsessed with her religion and faith as one might expect. Instead, she is driven. She knows she is both a sinner and a damned soul, and embraces this fact, liberating her as it does from conventional morality and granting her the freedom to act as she must in service to herself and to her goals. A woman deeply traumatised by her past, she sleeps little and parties often, passing her sleepless nights on the hunt or in reckless drinking and debauchery. She knows she is damned until her soul can be reclaimed, and this behaves as she wills, all the while striving to gather back to herself that missing piece of herself which, deep down, she knows she shall never lived to reclaim.

She has spent much of the last year rediscovering and reinventing herself under the tutelage of some of the more disreputable members of the Roman Catholic church in Seattle, among them Father Figaro and Cardinal Boomstick. She is loosely affiliated with her rescuer, Rose of Sharon Howlett, with whom she maintain close contact and shares information concerning the activities of soul-drinking infected.

===Alignment===
Black Trenchcoat: Cry is a traumatised vampire survivor no longer content with being "mere prey" but instead intent on turning the tables on those she blames for her ordeal. All of them. She's of the opinion that she should killed them all, and let God sort out through the guilty. Her theme is dark and tragic. Consequently she's not really suitable for Pink Mohawk play or light hearted runs, despite her long established friendship with [[Field Mouse]].

===Goals===
*First and foremost, Cry wishes to reclaim her soul and repair the yawning, awful, terrifying gap in her aura rent by the feeding minions of the Banshee Asmodeus. For now she intends to master the arts of the assassin against meta-human targets until she's ready to take on her first vampire. Until then, she will content herself by trying to fill the emptiness within herself by imagining the screams of soul drinking infected while she sends them straight to hell where they belong.

*Gather intelligence on the infected members of the Shadowhaven community and, in order that she might keep her oath not to harm fellow haven runners personally, pass the information to Rose for further action.

*Cry has heard hints that a secret, secular branch of the Roman Catholic Church exists which is dedicated to battling monsters and demons - the Infected, Blood Spirits, Bug Spirits, Toxic spirits and so on. She would deeply love to uncover information concerning this group, and to earn her place among them.

*Find a way to persuade [[Field Mouse]] that he doesn't need to be a runner to complete his thesis.

==Background==
Emily was well positioned in life. She had everything that mattered: a SIN, a good school, parents who loved her and a friendship that comes once in a lifetime. And she had a dream: university, a Pulitzer, a family, and in that order. All of that came crashing down the night she caught the attention of the wrong eyes while working her way through college, on an astral courier run into Puyullup. She tried to tell her brain she wasn't seeing what her eyes were seeing, but she was wrong.

And what was worse, what she was seeing saw her too. It saw her too, and days later it took her. For over a year she languished in the dark, being bled and fed upon as the mood took her captor, her tormentor. Trapped in the dark, bound by mage cuffs, she could perceive only the astral events around her, and far from becoming her haven from the world, the Astral scape around her became the stuff of nightmares. She -saw- souls drained from bodies. Men and women drained dry and murdered for the sustenance of a decaying, baying, decadent mob. Nightly, she preyed for death - until He sent salvation.

His Angels did not come in the form she had been given to suspect. They were thugs, gangers, runners, led by a woman with three parallel claw wounds upon her right cheek. She saw the stigmata at once and recognised it for what it was, the sign of a servant of God. They tore her mage cuffs away and freed her from the darkness, commanding her to run. Run! Hasten into the night.

And as she saw the vampiric minions of her once-captor fall beneath the blades of her liberators she knew! This, this why she had been spared.

So now, she walks the Shadows as a hunter of those who would call her prey. Setting herself as bait, luring them out. For though her prey might be dual natured, she knows they cannot stand against her when her shredded soul walks the Astral as a crusading Avenger. Her soul has been ravaged and to enter Heaven she must redeem by sending the souls of monsters to hell. Alison knows her prey haunt the shadows were good people cannot venture, and so she has ventured into the Shadowhaven. Bound by her word not to slay the demon-infested blood spawn she finds there, she knows she has no qualms concerning what she learns concerning infected runners to those who might otherwise put that knowledge to good use.

Deus Veult.

==Narrative Significant Qualities==

*College Education: Though she never finished her college education, Cry is still a registered student with the University of Washington.
*Common Sense: Walking at home through campus grounds drunk, at night, was an uncharacteristic act for a once otherwise grounded and sensible young woman.
*Deus Vult, Driven: Though not a fanatic, Cry believes she was spared from soul death for a reason, and intends to ensure that what she believes to be God's plan for her is fulfilled.
*Innocuous: Cry really doesn't look anything like what most people expect from a shadow runner.
*Dishevelled, Flashbacks (Feeding Type II Infected), Insomnia (Basic), Prejudiced (Essence Drainers -Outspoken), Social Stress (Presence of Infected): A year of anguish at the hands of her captors hasn't left Cry unaffected. As much as she hates and despises essence draining undead, and seeks their destruction, even simply being in their presence can reduce her to a quivering wreck.
*Vendetta ([[Agamemnon]] and his Agents): While Cry seeks the destruction of soul-drinking undead in general, she holds a particular hatred for Agamemnon and his associates.
*SINner (National): Emily Brook is a registered UCAS citizen.

===General Description and Clothing===
A tall, slender woman of unremarkable good looks, of average height and with chestnut brown hair bound in a pony tail. Her eyes are bright, almost fevered, and her expression intent and driven. Her clothes are often soiled. wrinkled or grimy, and she rarely takes the opportunity to wash as often as she should. Even when she takes the time to clean her face and body, there's still a slight smell of woodsmoke, old sweat and damp soil about her, and she frequently deliberately styles her mascara to make it appear as though she has been crying, particularly when is is about to go into battle.

For the moment, she tends to favour baggy, almost shapeless Urban Explorer Jumpsuits with helmet, ballistic mask and forearms guards on a run. Her equipment is basic, marking her as a newcomer to the runner scene, but in good repair despite her habitually dishevelled appearance.

 

===Matrix Persona===
Her matrix persona is an angelic, winged being clad in battered armour of grey metal and bearing rod and staff as it's weapons.
