Overview
Sophia Zhang was once the crown jewel of UW Seattle’s School of Business. A star pupil with a razor-sharp mind with a graduate job at a major Horizon affiliate lined up—everyone assumed she’d make management before 30. But pressure, expectation, and one especially toxic internship pushed her over the edge.
She dropped out in her final year. Disappeared. Rumor had it she fell into simsense escapism, burning through her savings and mind on BTL chips. By the time she came out the other side, her academic momentum was gone, her reputation stained, and her SIN flagged by several corp-backed employment networks.
The door to the megacorp ladder was closed.
Still, she was determined to turn her life around, eventually walking through the doors of Backseat Solutions for an interview. Atlhough the company was initially established as a front for money laundering, legitimate work had continued to trickle in, requiring someone competant to do the real work. When Backseat interviewed her, he recognized something familiar in her: raw talent hidden behind burnout and disappointment.
He hired her the next morning.
Sophia now handles most of the actual consulting work that gets through Elliot Kwan's filter. She leads the legitimate engagements that Backseat finds too boring and Elliot too incompetant to handle.
She knows something about the business is off. The fake-sounding client names, the constant absence of her boss at the office and the suspicious data reviews that Backseat often sends her... But she doesn’t pry. Not yet. The work is interesting, she's getting paid and she's beginning to get a good idea of what's actually going on. And she wants in.

Aspects Description
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| I'm like a doctor for businesses | An extremely competant consultant who has a razor sharp mind for analysing quantitative and qualitative data. Can trace embezzlement through shell companies, flag suspicious expense reports, and connect the dots between fake vendors and crooked employees. Give her spreadsheets and she’ll give you suspects. Whenever financial records, business operations, or corporate org charts are involved, Sophie can analyze them with surgical precision. (+2 to Logic-based tests to conduct business analysis) |
| True Crime Fanatic | When not working, Sophie is obsessed with True Crime, devouring every case file, KE procedural and matrix data dump she can get her hands on. Give her a bloody glove and a half-finished text message, and she’ll build a timeline and motive. She has a knack for intuitive leaps, cold reads, and spotting what doesn’t fit. (+2 to intuition based tests to link evidence together and provide an analysis of likely suspects of a crime) |
