Background

Born in Seattle, Trades was identified by her former tribe around the age of 7. She spent the next two years slowly being initiated into the mysteries of the matrix.

Where some might have seen the cluttered and patchwork symbology, Trades saw the elegant construction of underlying code. She took to her new skills with a great appetite. For Trades and her tribe, Crash 2.0 was the worst day of their lives. Trades was no longer special, and she didn't have something in her life that the matrix had.
