Yawen Packard

Yawen Packard is a medical doctor assigned to an NCPD-contracted laboratory in Heywood.

Biography
Yawen Packard is an acclaimed medical professional specializing in neuroscience. She is currently working in the field of pediatric autism, augmenting children's brain waves with braindance technology. Due to the specific nature of accessing thoughts and memories that would otherwise be locked out, the NCPD contracted her lab to help with the investigation of the Peter Pan case, where the suspect suffered a bullet wound and ended up in a coma prior to being able to reveal any information regarding his victims.

Her devotion to the job can easily be noted by her presence in the facility during a complete lab audit - an occurrence which had interrupted an unlawful search of the premises executed by her old boyfriend River Ward and his companion V. Due to previous unpleasant exchanges, she will point out expected disappointment by River's behavior, not reluctantly calling him a bastard, expecting V to agree with her, regardless of knowing near nothing of them. In disagreement, she will simply add how she too thought differently of him in the past. Yawen will be opposed to helping them with finding any more evidence regarding the classified case, especially since she had the knowledge of River's suspension from the department. In absence of time, River will use personal information from her past regarding cheating on medical exams to intimidate her into helping. Yawen will simply get irritated but not succumb until finding out the underlying reason for River's persistence, namely, his own nephew being one of the victims. Despite having theoretical methodology regarding using sensory prompts on patients at her disposal, she remains reluctant to try it on an adult for the sake of provoking dreams. The patient's preferences remain unknown, so until anything he feels strongly about is provided, she will fail at delivering useful results.

When asked about potential knowledge regarding the Relic, she will express confusion with the implication of it being able to overwrite the user's psyche and admit not having nearly enough information to give any certain conclusions on the matter.

Once River and V find enough material for Yawen, she will succeed in triggering dreams in the comatose patient and record three braindances from his past, helping to resolve the case.
