>> 2nd gen Japanese-American middle class, only child. >> Mother died in car accident at 12, raised by Father and Grandparents. Sustained an injury to her left-shoulder in the accident that was relatively slow to heal. >> Mariko was a good student and remained so even through the turbulent period after her mother's death. However while she, excelled in most classes that didn't require her to interact with her peers frequently, lots of minor disciplinary actions for being insubordinate at school authority and poor responses to behavior she considered pitying. >> She began her study of computer systems and the internet while laid up and first learned about hacking scrolling through image boards. Many of Mariko's new friends were made online and she enjoyed that she could present herself without the added baggage of being 'the girl who's mother died horribly X amount of time ago.' >> Swimming began as a low-impact exercise for physical therapy that also allowed for conditioning. Mariko found being underwater to be peaceful so there was a fairly good stretch of time where if Mariko was not at home, she was swimming. >> While she studied criminal justice in college, she didn't settle in on the major until her sophomore year - she bounced between criminal justice and film for a while. >> She also swam competitively for her college, until late in her sophomore year when she aggravated her old injury and she ended up leaving the swim team as a competitor and stayed on as an assistant coach. >> Doubled down on learning about computer networks and eventually built an online identity for her hacking dubious activity. >> As she focused on her degree, she lost contact with several of her friends, though she still managed to keep a few. >> She scrubbed out of the police academy, an incident written off as “poor cohesion with other recruits”. >> Got her license for private investigations and went to work. >>Mariko doesn't have very many female friends by design.
LOOKING FOR: >>Friends >> An assistant at her PI office >> anyone who wants to be added to her pile o' Exes >> any seedier connections >> an actual girlfriend >> Feedback or ideas?
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Maybe in a few months.
