Biography
Gloria and her son David lived in an apartment of Megabuilding H4 in Santo Domingo, Night City. She was an emergency medical technician (EMT) who scraped by to provide for her son, both by working long hours into the night and by selling high-priced and rare Cyberware she took off corpses to sell to edgerunners. One such instance would be the military-grade Sandevistan she took off James Norris' body after he was subdued by MaxTac. She would plastic wrap it and hide it in the inside of her coat, waiting for her buyer Maine.

Before she could hand the Sandevistan over, she had to pick her son David up from Arasaka Academy in Corpo Plaza after he used a jail-broken, retro wreath to try and interface with the Academy's significantly newer system, with Gloria attempting to assuage the issue David caused and promising to pay for the damages to the academy's principal. Gloria and David would talk about the incident on the drive back home, resulting in Gloria explaining that she works hard so David can have a better life and make his way to the top of Arasaka. However, a gang of Animals with a gig to kill the person driving next to them would put Gloria and David in the crossfire. They would end up crashing into the car targeted by the Animals, having their car being flipped and Gloria being ejected into the street. Trauma Team would respond to the accident, but only help their platinum client who was attacked by the Animals. Gloria and David would receive basic, discounted treatment from a low-end surgeon, which got her to stable condition. The very next day, her condition would worsen until she would die with the surgeon surmising with her chronically overworked body. Something that would have happened eventually.

David, with few options to bury his mother, would have to budget-cremate her body; her ashes placed in a cheap, plastic urn. David would keep the urn with him for the rest of his life. He would also keep his mother's belongings, particularly her EMT jacket which he would find the Sandevistan she was going to sell to Maine.

David kept his mother's ashes until his death. Afterwards her ashes were interred in Night City's Columbarium. Lucyna Kushinada wrote "You were right. David reached the top of Arasaka Tower." on her niche.
