[Death Otter]

Skinny, human metatype young woman with short, unkempt brown hair and brown eyes, who alternates between bouts of ironic mania and quiet intensity.

Death Otter is a delinquint, half(?) crazy hacker chica who's emerged into the shadows after a long time misbehaving in secret behind the scenes. Volatile and irreverent, she seems driven largely by the whims of the moment and her own gut reactions.

Once You Get to Know Her

Bethany Cotter came from the kind of life most folks in Seattle dream about. Oh, not the high life in a penthouse condo, but a solid spot in the near-mythical 'middle class.' Despite this stability, or maybe because of it, Beth was a teenage hellion who used her powers over the Matrix to act out and define herself. Her parents were both scientists, researchers that worked for the UCAS government. They had 'emigrated' from MCT when Beth was very young, changing their names in the process to avoid retribution. But retribution couldn't be denied forever.

One day they just...vanished between leaving work and getting home. Though Beth was left alone, she became beneficiary of a family trust that kept a roof over her head. That wasn't enough though. She wanted answers. Bethany ransacked their files in the Matrix, finding nothing out of place. However, not long after the investigation into their disappearance was closed, an optical disk arrived addressed to her. On it was data that detailed who her parents had been and why they'd fled their old employer...and why UCAS had given them asylum. It also revealed who Beth's real parent was, though gave agonizing few details. Far from satisfying her, these small discoveries only made her need real answers even more. So she set out to get some.

So Death Otter was born. Beth had been toying with various computer misbehavior for quite some time by then under that moniker; now she just put her talents to more purposeful use. Delving into the shadows under an assumed name and funding herself with a loan from some very questionable sorts, there's a good chance Beth is in way over her head here...but it's the only way she has any chance of finding out what happened to her parents, and finding out what and who she really is.
