With this pic it was a combo of staring out the window and the purple hair.
My first thought was she’s in Hong Kong. Not sure why but I liked it so we’re sticking with it. My second thought was, she’s a hacker. She’s a freelancer and has a steady stream of clients. Mostly of the mercenary/assassin sort.
I kind of like the idea of her being like a procurement specialist. She’s a different type of hacker than Megan but they share a few things in common.
She knows how to find things, people, locate stuff/items. She can facilitate sellers and buyers. She knows how to fence things. Has ties to the black market, the dark web, etc. That kind of stuff.
I see her serving as the common tie/factor/thread for using other mercs or assassins in Hong Kong such as ‘The Frenchman’ from Creativity Post 62. He uses her to get weapons and gear. And sometimes intel if his usual sources don’t come through.
She’s well know but only in the right circles.
I think she spends a mix of her time in two places. The first is high priced penthouse type hotels. She doesn’t have a single location that she operates out of and is always changing her locations. She’ll rent out a room but then sneak out only to check into an other hotel across the street with a view of room she just rented.
She’s doesn’t come across as super paranoid but she’s very cautious when it comes to where she sleeps.
When not trashing a hotel room, she spends her time down on the streets in the less than safe parts of town working her contacts and making new ones to find the right stuff for her clients.
Oddly enough she doesn’t feel as worried about her safety when she’s out on the streets like this. She likes to think that she’s too valuable an asset for those in the underworld to want to take her out but she knows nothings for certain in her line of work.
Her reputation for working with several high profile mercenaries and assassins in the city does give her a degree of protection that she’s unware of, as the word has gone out that if something happens to her, something happens to her attacker.
So far no one’s being stupid enough to test that warning.
