Dakota Smith

Dakota Smith , aka the "Mad Coyote", is a member of the Aldecaldos and one of the best fixers found in the Badlands, on the outskirts of Night City. She can be found spending most of her time in her own garage in the Rocky Ridge plains.

When asked about the vast emptiness that are the Badlands, she is quick to oppose the thought, briefly elaborating how the various factions, the nomads, Raffen Shiv, corporations, and drifters in fact form a type of an ecosystem. The type that would not survive should one of them get removed.

Biography
Despite being a nomad, she explains her staying put as being a static. From her tone, it's easy to tell the name is not one to assign as a compliment, although she adds that statics are necessary - they take care of those who come and go. She does not deny earning from this duty.

Through a gig message briefing, it is possible to learn that she is the eldest daughter of the Pomo tribe, and the eldest fixer of the Badlands. However, we only have her word for it.

If guided by the messages V receives, judging those leaving the pack would indicate that Dakota boldly opposes detachment from the nomad life, even if it means confronting an enemy.

Through one of the gigs she employs for V, Dakota admits many failed attempts at cooperating with tech specialist Iris Tanner, comparing her with a mare and showing slight joy now that she has no choice but to accept working together. Even once Iris has been rescued and brought to her garage, Dakota will not gloat but proceed with courtesy, calling her a sister, in hopes to get on her good side, but seemingly fails. However, Iris accepts exchanging favour for favour, which can be seen as somewhat of a success.
