Fatale (real name Vika Volkova) is the daughter of Russian refugees. Growing up homeless first in the old country and then in the combat zones of Night City, dancing was the only thing that could make her forget her problems.

And not just as a mental evasion. Dancing and stripping in clubs first in the combat zone, and then outside it, that was her way out of misery. Her family had the great idea of using her as a courier to move drugs and sell them to the more affluent clientele she could reach in upscale clubs. That went well for a while and she earned them a decent amount of cash before it all went to hell.

Fatale's boyfriend was a junkie, wannabe Rockerboy who snitched on her out of jealousy, then killed himself out of guilt. Fatale was busted by the cops and while she was in custody her whole family was gunned down by a rival gang. Now totally alone in the world, Fatale accepted a job at the Vice squad of NCPD, since she had nowhere else to go. Ironically, after so many illegal activities, maybe becoming a cop was going to be her ticket out of poverty?

No dice. When a colleague made a pass at her, Fatale shot him  down in the most public of ways. As a consequence, she was "selected for an undercover op, taking advantge of your familiarity with the lifestyle", which meant she was sent back to the combat zone to keep an eye on street crime. Back to square one...

Fatale is a bodysculpted beauty in her mid-20s, slender and spectacularly busty. She usually wears her hair neon pink and her skin very pale, covered with intrincate light-tattoos. She's a regular fixture in many clubs and strip joints around the city.

She's wearing pure Urbanflash: knee-high stiletto boots in red vinyl, a fabric-screen microskirt with scrolling text, her spectacular bosom barely contained in a lace-up bustier. That leaves plenty of skin exposed: pale, traced with tattooed vines with red roses that pulsate with a bloody light. Her hair glows with a neon pink light.
