Jule "Jewel" Summerfield, Night City Street Correspondent - reporting for WNS.

That's my line. Rings a bell? I usually don't figure in my news clips. I ain't no Network botox slut whose only skill is showing off her scuplted body and designer clothes while reading off a sheet. It's the news and not the Media's nano-groomers that I want the viewers to see.

So ya still wanna know what I look like? I'm all natural, no cyber, petite and rather pale with short, neat, black hair. I love my mirroshade-smartgoggles cuz it makes filmin easier when the vidcam is not obvious. I usually wear denim all over - that Gibson stuff makes me blend and gives me the protection I need. I have a WNS PRESS helmet but keep it in the gymbag till I go where the action is. Same goes for that girly little plastic paratrooper rifle I like to use when the helmet ain't doin the trick. Militech Dragon - nice toy.

History:
Ya know when ya talk to people on the street, everyone says how fucked up their childhood was. Mine wasn't. Dad taught primary school and mum was a social worker in the hood. We weren'r rich, but, really, it was storybook happiness. I almost finished high school, yes here in Night City, in the suburbs at Ridgewater. Then the gangs came and the violence, and my parents spoke up. They sent two Iron Sight kids younger than me at the time to kill them to earn their colors. I know cuz I was there when it happened, hiding under the bed. Dunno what I would've done without Abuelita in the aftermath.

I eventually enlisted in the army, hoping I'd learn how to kill, but they made me a cybershrink. That's when I first came across Mr Kai. Realized the patients with his ware in their bodies were doing worse than the others. I told the army, but they just  kicked me out on a fucking pretense.

So I became a Media. Someone has got to fight all the lies, the hypocrisy.


Hooks:
1.) Two Iron Sights killed her parents. The issue is still unresolved.
2.) She knows Mr. Kai is involved in black ops. But he's all teflon. Neither her dirt nor the dirt Boots gave her stuck. She's gonna get that bastard.
3.) There's Momo. He taught her the ropes in journalism, but has become a rival.
