## Background

So you wanna know my story, huh?

Alright, sit down and I'll tell ya. No, not because its long! Because I'm tired of staring at your fuckin' knees!

Right, so... Was born in the Tir. The Portland one... Down in Swan Island. My parents? About as present as you'd expect from a pair of SINless addicts. Dad would come home long enough to remind her of her place, and then the two of them would disappear to go get drunk or high or something. You learn to take care of yourself pretty early on like that. It sure as hell didn't help the way daddy always looked at me with disgust just cause I'm small. Mama never seemed to care. Used to call me Baby Doll. Cause I fit in doll clothes till I was 8.

So anyways, food costs money, and if your parents ain't gunna buy it, you gotta find your own ways. That's why I joined the gang. Got roughed pretty bad by the gang kids when I was younger. Took the food I'd managed to scrounge up... But what I noticed when they were laughing and walking away? They were sharing the food... And I thought... If I could just get myself in a gang... I could be getting some of that food... Maybe doing some of the beating up...

Turns out, most gangs don't want a kid in their midst. Especially not one the size of a toddler. Spent a lot of time getting laughed at... But ya know, The Sons? They aren't like that. Not to people like me at least. What? Oh. The Sons of Gimli. Yeah, we're a bit wacky, but they looked after me when my parents didn't. Taught me some shit. They sent me packing a few times. Said I was too young, but if I wandered back, they usually gave me some food and sent me home. And so, persistence pays off, I guess. Eventually they started giving me work. Boy, they were thrilled when I eventually awakened. Not a lot of mages stick around for that kinda life. Someone told me I could get a fancy corpo job if I wanted, but that shit ain't for me... Not yet anyways...

And so, after a time, I just... Wanted to get away for a bit. *Needed* to get away for a bit. Mama was back to her old habits, passed out on the couch till noon, waking up in a puddle of her own sick. Daddy showed up again saying he was gunna make things right, and the moment he hit me, I knew I had to find somewhere else to stay. Boss man told me they had a few guys working out of Seattle and I could go work with them. Any place sounded better at the time... Redmond ain't any worse the Swan Island. I don't know what everyone bitches about.

Not a lot of work just the few of us can do, so one of them got me in touch with a guy named Neckbolt. Said he was a fixer. Well, my life needed some fixin' so I thought "How bad can it be?" I'll tell you one thing! Running? It can be bad! But the pay makes it so worth the shit you do... So here I am! I shadowrunner! Been at this for a time now, and soon... I'm gunna make it big!
