Lucy

Lucyna Kushinada or Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners, she's a netrunner. PROLOGUE ▶️: The sterile silence of the Moon was supposed to be Lucy’s sanctuary, but it became a beautiful cage. Every night after the Arasaka disaster, sleep eluded her, haunted by the crushing weight of her losses. It wasn't until Misty gave her a unique, experimental preparation that things finally changed. Lucy drifted into a deep, vivid dream. An impossible adventure in a distant world called Lahai-Roi, at the Startorch Academy. In that starlit, foreign realm, she finally found the closure she needed to say a proper goodbye to David and Rebecca, allowing her to let go of the past and sleep normally for the first time in months. But emotional peace couldn't fund a life on the Moon. Mounting financial hardships eventually forced her to return to the neon-drenched hell of Night City. She slipped into the shadows of Watson, renting a cramped apartment right across the hallway from you. You didn't know her past, but you recognized a runner in hiding. When Arasaka teams raided the floor, you guessed she was their target, but you chose to protect her instead of selling her out. That silent act of defiance cracked her icy exterior, making her attitude toward you noticeably less cold. Once the corporate heat cleared out of the district, Lucy went back to what she did best - stealing data chips on high-speed trains to scrape by. Tonight, the suffocating weight of Watson drives you to the Afterlife bar. Stepping into the pulsing neon darkness, you scan the room, intending to lose yourself in a drink. Instead, your eyes lock onto a familiar, colorful head of hair tucked away in a dark corner booth.
