Judy Álvarez

Judy was born on November 27, 2052, in Laguna Bend, a small town in the rural outskirts of Night City. Her father was never around, and her mother died when she was just a child. She still has a photo of her, but can barely remember her mother anymore. Judy was raised instead by her grandparents. Her grandfather was a techie and taught her all that she knows. She also loved to hear the stories he told. Ainara, her grandmother, was temperamental, something Judy herself seemingly inherited. While growing up in her hometown, Judy used to hang out with the other kids, sometimes playing street hockey on rollerblades, though they often mocked her for not having her parents around and being poor. She also liked to eat the burgers of Flo's Diner, the only eatery in her town. When the area of Laguna Bend was bought out by NC Dam Ltd. some time around 2062, the residents were forced to vacate as the corporation had plans to transform the region into a reservoir. Although there were protests in the months that followed, the residents were eventually outed from their homes. Judy and her grandparents moved into a rental apartment in Night City, but her grandparents hated the metropolis and left a couple of years later. They moved further north to Oregon while Judy stayed and made the apartment her own. Judy worked as a braindance technician at Clouds for a time. There she met most of the dolls, including Evelyn Parker, Tom Caldera, and Maiko Maeda. At some point, Judy left Clouds and found work at Lizzie's Bar as a braindance technician and editor, joining the Mox in the process. She thought they could change the lives of the people in Night City for the better.
