You know those old secret agent trids where the dashing super spy always has his smart, sexy and skilled bombshell hacker on call to help save the day? That's Brat. In her own head at least. In reality she's far closer to the basement dwelling, anti social otaku types she distances herself from. Though a skilled decker in her own right, her bragadocious personality and inability to take a joke give her a form of main character syndrome that demands patience when dealing with her antics. With her immature outbursts and rather diminuative stature it's no surprise that her street name was forced upon her rather than chosen. But if you CAN put up with her, you'll have the privilige of watching a digital artist at work, one who can maybe one day back up her grand claims of being the best in Seattle. | |||

Kelly Heathers had a similar upbringing to many street kids in Seattle, born to a pair of no good gangers in the Redmond Barrens. Whilst many would have envied her for living in Touristville Kelly was not so easily pleased, cursing her lot in life and always dreaming of bigger things.

As a teenager she was encouraged to come into the fold alongside her parents, whom saw fit to delegate some of their administrative responsibility to her as a trial of sorts.

She started out with odd jobs in poorer neighbourhoods, fixing a deck here, restructuring the network of a small business there, but soon began to delve into the criminal underworld out of neccessity. Helping street gangs to raid warehouses proved to be a lucrative gig for Kelly, specifically because the targets were never anything wild. Her rotating stable of accomplices would always nab something for her on the way out as payment, whether it be ware or deck parts, steadily helping her build up her arsenal. | |||

Character Information
Summary
You know those old secret agent trids where the dashing super spy always has his smart, sexy and skilled bombshell hacker on call to help save the day? That's Brat. In her own head at least. In reality she's far closer to the basement dwelling, anti social otaku types she distances herself from. Though a skilled decker in her own right, her bragadocious personality and inability to take a joke give her a form of main character syndrome that demands patience when dealing with her antics. With her immature outbursts and rather diminuative stature it's no surprise that her street name was forced upon her rather than chosen. But if you CAN put up with her, you'll have the privilige of watching a digital artist at work, one who can maybe one day back up her grand claims of being the best in Seattle.

Background
Kelly Heathers had a similar upbringing to many street kids in Seattle, born to a pair of no good gangers in the Redmond Barrens. Whilst many would have envied her for living in Touristville Kelly was not so easily pleased, cursing her lot in life and always dreaming of bigger things.

- Curiosity Killed the Cat: To maintain her self proclaimed title as Princess of the Matrix, Brat will leave no stone unturned in her data dives. Who knows what unsuspecting folder could be holding the juciest, most scintillating paydata in the Sixth World?
- Poor Self Control (Braggart): Despite thinking herself a charming rogue, Brat is blissfully unaware of just how irritating and childish her arrogant pride can be. Her reflexive urge to boast and exaggerate even her most minor accomplishments is sure to make her seem all the more petulent.
- Signature (Digital Calling Card): Being the best decker on the 'trix isn't any good if nobody knows it right? Whenever Brat copies or edits a file she can't help but insert a little chibi sticker of her own mug, slipping it in as a nice surprise for the next spider taking digital inventory. Sure it might not actually be doing much to help her street cred... But she sure does feel smug thinking about the look on their face!

Brat's matrix mark is a stylised chibi version of her own face, one she's printed into both a sew on patch and stickers which she has adorned all her gear with. Her ego can't help but insert this into her file edits when on runs too, acting as a calling card for her mischief.

Appearance
Clothing
The Meet
- Scamp fancies herself quite the catch and dresses to emphasise it, always showing up in a fetching formfitting jumpsuit with the zipper pulled just low enough to be suggestive. Any effect this may actually have to ingratiate herself to the Johnson or her fellow runners is no doubt quickly dispelled when she opens her mouth, but an attempt was made! When the Pacific winds are particularly chilly she may accentuate the look with a battered leather jacket, customised with sewn on patches from all her favourite synthcore bands. In the warmer months she may dress down into tank tops, short shorts or ripped jeans, all apropriatley grunged up by years of living in the shadows.
The Job
- If it ain't broke don't fix it. Scamp's fond of her aesthetic and is happy to stay in her jumpsuit if the job allows it. If she does expect to be dragged kicking and screaming into meatspace or gods forbid getting shot at, she'll swap out the leather jacket for a rugged PMC plate carrier atop her iconic suit. Sure she may not need a PC for the paltry amount of ammo she carries, but nothing beats the hardened operator aesthetic or how cool it feels to execute a perfect mag swap... Something she DEFINITELY has not practiced repeatedly in the mirror.
