Lucyna Kushinada

Lucy is a netrunner and the deuteragonist of.

Characteristics
Lucy is a mysterious netrunner from Night City. She is quite introverted and doesn't like to talk much about her past. Although she looks innocent, she won't hesitate to kill a person in a heartbeat if they tick her off. Lucy also considers Night City a prison and dreams of one day leaving it for the moon.

Appearance
Lucy is a young woman with naturally white hair and purple and red gradient pupils. She wears light red eye and lip makeup. Her hair is cut in a split bob - with her left side left longer - and dyed with a colorful pastel rainbow gradient. Her eyes appear to reflect with the colors of her hair. Lucy wears a cropped white jacket with a black, sleeve- and thighless netrunner jumpsuit with red accents over a pair of white shorts and high gray stockings, and black knee-high boots.

Early Life
Lucy was born in another country where she was raised in an Arasaka facility. She and 12 other children were selected to become netrunners after having taken a proficiency test. Being led on by the dream of "serving the world's most powerful megacorp" one day, got her and the others through the toughest days and training.

When their training concluded, they were moved underground to participate in deep dives into the pre-DataKrash Net, as Arasaka sent them looking for knowledge that was lost. As they dove into the Net, they were susceptible to old world daemons and rogue AIs. The children were picked off one by one, and it didn't take long until only a handful of them were left.

After realizing that they could pursue other dreams, instead of being enslaved by the corporation, the remaining children, including Lucy, used their netrunning skills to overwhelm the Arasaka staff and escape. While making their escape, most of the children were shot down one-by-one, and only Lucy managed to survive.

After escaping, Lucy woke up in a junkyard, not planning to stay long. Roaming from place to place, eventually she ended up in Night City, no longer feeling like she was being chased by the megacorp.

Life in Night City
After being in Night City for some time, Lucy joined Maine's edgerunner crew in 2075, where she was mentored by another netrunner named Kiwi.

While stealing shards from corpos on their way to Corpo Plaza by NCART, she attempted to steal shards held by David Martinez. David, having noticed her presence beforehand, utilized his Sandevistan implant, and was able to intercept her actions and grasped her by her arm. Lucy shrugged off David's arm, and grasped his with the motion to follow her. Lucy proceeded to interrogate David, as he was messing with her “job”. After a short discussion, the two came to an agreement to work together, Lucy taking on David as her trainee, and split their earnings seventy-to-thirty.
