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. Finally, it was time for her initiation into the resonance. When she returned from her time in the deep resonance, she could see the matrix in a new way. 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 leading a brief, but successful career as a shadowrunner leading up to Crash 2.0. Crash 2.0 also drew the curtain on her brief career as a shadowrunner since her abilities didn't translate into her emerging as an early technomancer. As data was gathered on technomancers and their relationship to essence, Trades began to suspect that her extensive augmentation may have been responsible for why she didn't emerge like many of the other otaku. She spent the next 2 decades working in Retrofit's clinic as her assistant using their skillwires.
In late 2084, Trades started to notice that she was able to do more in the matrix than should have been possible with just her datajack. It felt a little like how it had been to be an otaku, so she attempted another pilgrimage to the deep resonance in the hopes that maybe she might find answers. The deep resonance was lost to her like every other otaku, but she did manage to reach the resonance realms. When she arrived at Kernel Panic she was struck by another transcendental moment. It was as if she had been looking at the new matrix through a pair of blurry glasses and things had finally come into focus. Things slotted into place in her brain and her living persona sparked to life for the first time. Now she's back on the streets, and eager to restart her career as a shadowrunner.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Trades is a former Otaku. She got lucky, very lucky.
Her teammates can trust her to keep their most important gear safe as part of her PAN.
A lot of matrix specialists can't move and hack; Trades can do both at the same time.
The matrix is never far away for Trades. She can start hacking at a moment's notice.
Negative
Is there data lying around? Trades can't help herself; she needs to grab a copy to peruse in her leisure time.
Trades can hardly stand to see the world without the filter of augmented reality.
Trades can't handle her drinks. She also can't handle her drugs, but she's got a firmer grasp on that.

| 1 | Trades is an up and coming novahot decker. She's started doing some odd jobs for people in early 2085. |
| 3 | Her symbology in the matrix is that of an architect. She makes adjustments to her blueprints in order to alter the fabric of the matrix. |
| 5 | They used to be an otaku known under the alias Ultrabyte. If you want to embarrass her, then bringing up the moniker she chose as an otaku is a safe bet. They fell off the radar for 20 years after Crash 2.0. In early 2085, she began making new appearances under the alias Trades. Nobody has reported her getting a deck, so it's a pretty decent guess that she's a technomancer. |
