Cheshire’s parents were originally low level wage slaves of a subsidiary of Horizon editing contents
for various trideo shows. The company they worked for got downsized which resulted in them being
fired. With no money and a little girl to raise, they sold their SINs including the daughter’s to the
shadows.

Sprawl life is hard on young kids trying to keep themselves and their sanity safe with all the violence
and corrupt things going on. To escape this world that seemed so cruel, Cheshire dived into the
Matrix where she could be whoever and whether she wanted for the most part. This is where she fell
in love with the classic narrative and world of Alice in Wonderland. In a lot of ways she felt a kinship
with the Cheshire character who was able to come and go as he pleased and was quite mischievous.

She loved the intangible world of the Matrix and AROs so much that she felt it should be part of her
meat world to which led her to AR fashion. She wanted to design her own programs and fashion line
to express herself even more to the world and pronounce that she was a product of herself and not
the world around her. Unfortunately, such things required money which she didn’t have.

One day, she was in the wrong place, or some might say the right place, at the wrong time. A group
of shadowrunners were fleeing from a job gone sideways against a go-gang and one of them got
shot dead as he was fleeing down the alleyway Cheshire was in. As the violence made its way
farther down the street, she scavenged the body for any of value like Credsticks and weapons.
That’s when she came across what would become her first cyberdeck. Making sure nobody was
looking, she took everything and dragged the body to the local street doc. She used the money she
found on the Credsticks to pay for the operation that would take the cyberjack out of the dead Decker and implant it into her. After recovering, she plugged into her deck and dove into the Matrix with her newfound power. Thus the Decker Cheshire was born.

She had finally found the means to achieve her goals and gladly stepped into the shadows. She went on several runs and worked for several people over the years gaining some influential contacts. A lot of her money went to more augmentations and better decks. Gathering paydata and disabling
security systems when she was teamed up with other runners was her specialty. Some of them had
become teammates several times over the years. Now she was looking for the big score that would
allow her to invest fully into her AR fashion line. One can’t run the shadows their whole life and expect to live for long anyways.
