HER

## Biography

HER is a character with unknown origins, though she could possibly be an EYE. As explained by the Old Hag in Rengkok South, an EYE is a benevolent super AI that will, on occasion, lend its help to someone in need or intervene on Earth. But her origins aside, HER is first encountered when PUPPY was being hacked by Wizard and was about to enter the office of the BOSS and kill him.

She freed PUPPY from Wizard's control and prevented his head from exploding. From then on, HER forced MECHANIX to help PUPPY recover from his wounds by using blackmail she dug up on him, and later told PUPPY about Wizard. She claimed he was holding his Brother hostage to force PUPPY to do his bidding and convinced him to help her track the hacker down in an assault on the Creep's Parking Garage.

From then on, HER acted as PUPPY's source of information whenever he encountered a new foe or picked up a new weapon, and PUPPY relied on HER to point him in the right direction, guiding him through the Hanza Compound and Hell in his quest to save his little brother.

However, what was really happening was that HER was in fact working with BOSS to track down and kill everyone involved in the attempt against his life, and she was very literally keeping PUPPY on a leash to use him to sniff out and kill the traitors. She had worked with BOSS to create the Big Brother Project, an initiative that would fill PUPPY's head with fleeting false memories of a fake past to motivate him into doing her bidding.

When the Sick Sisters, TrafficKing, and Wizard were all finally dead, HER watched as PUPPY was seemingly trapped and handed over to his template, the Boss of Heaven Corp. BOSS explained that there had never actually been a brother for him to save, and that PUPPY was nothing more than a rogue clone passed around from one person to the next. However, just as PUPPY was going to be killed by Heaven Security, HER revealed herself not to be human as her face broke into pieces and she freed PUPPY from his restraints.

Whilst threatening his life just as Wizard had done at the beginning of the game, she forced him to kill all of Heaven Corporation's remaining security before going and taking out the Boss himself. HER would then explain, after confirming that PUPPY was now a free man thanks to her, that she had been spying on Heaven for a long time and decided that the corporation needed to fall and to do that she had to gain the trust of the Boss.

It just so happened that the Heaven Elite decided to try and kill the Boss, giving her the chance to earn his trust by using PUPPY to kill them all. And once BOSS was distracted and his guard let down, that would be the moment she would end his life. Having explained that to PUPPY, she said that he deserved a more in-depth explanation and told him to meet her in the place "where Heaven Falls".

## Appearance

HER sports a striped grey and white(?) shirt under a short jacket that has a broad collar and sports several buttons one being a pill, another being the symbol of sacrifice from the series Berserk. She wears a pair of headphones atop of her head with the words bad printed on the sides and top. She has three necklaces around her neck one of which with some sort of bead or coin as an ornament on one of them. For pants she wears black tights but has also been depicted wearing tight shorts. Her jacket has the words "DUMB DOWN. Steady Income Slow Death" on the back.

## Database Entry

That's me! Recently I saved your ass - your head, actually - from exploding. Someone hacked your brain and took control of you. I happened to be snooping around in Heaven's secure data - inaccessible to regular mortals, of course - saw what was happening and managed to intervene. Just a few minutes later and it would have been bye-bye brain. Whoever did this - I'm gonna teach 'em a lesson in the craft. I'm the best of the best and I'm exactly who you want on your side right now.

I've been watching Heaven for awhile now and finally decided enough was enough. The attempted coup was a good opportunity to turn their own weapons against them. You are that weapon. And if it wasn't for me, you'd still be a puppet, locked in an illusion 100 meters underground. Nevertheless, I owe you a more in-depth explanation. If you survive, meet me where Heaven falls.

## Abilities

HER is a hacker of the highest pecking order, being able to fairly easily overpower the hacking efforts of Wizard, implant new memories into PUPPY and dredge up blackmail on just about anyone including the Mechanix She was also able to spy on Heaven, perhaps the most advanced megacorporation in the world, with ease without being noticed and her deception was great enough to fool BOSS, the same man who created the mega conglomerate in the first place. While it is not clear if she is the one who constantly revives PUPPY or if he can revive himself if he dies, but she does remember each and every time PUPPY dies during the game (dying is an in lore mechanic as the Sister of Disorder gives a quest asking PUPPY to die 50 times per level). She was also able to fool PUPPY into thinking she was his friend despite never outright stating her motives until the end and despite her clear sadistic tendencies displayed throughout the game.

## Trivia

* She is the only character of unknown species.
* Popular fan theory states that she is an EYE, a satellite AI that sometimes intervenes in human affairs.
* A running theme is the question of if HER and PUPPY were ever truly friends in game.
