Victoria began her middle school years in a new country, with a new living condition, and no friends or family save her mother. Victoria's reliance on technology became even more ingrained in her. Throughout High School, Victoria took classes in computing and coding. When she left high school she already had an entry level certification to work with tech support. Fortunately for Victoria, A job as an entry level worker in the tech field was not her only path. When the issue came what to do after High school, Victoria had a full ride to a decree in Systems Management/security. Achieving a six year degree in only four, Victoria was immediately picked up by a talent scout for the Tokyo Robotics corporation.

Equipment Roster
Possessions: Data Pad - This data pad is fairly issue for employees doing her kind of work. This pad is unlocked by her own biometrics and is a useful tool for interacting with consoles and terminals.

It navigates, it plays music to her ear piece, it serves has her phone, it is a laptop but far more mobile. A build in feature of this gauntlet is an ability to generate a shield of light to deflect projectiles in a direction.

Weapons:9mm pistol - This weapon is for personal defense from any attack on Victoria's personage. She is licences to carry it thanks to sponsorship of the Tokyo Robotics corp. As a agent in Cyber Security, She could be attacked for information, thus she is authorized to carry and use it as a last, final option.
Pepper Spray - A non-lethal option.
Augs:Y-18 Brainstem-Neural Implant vIII - This is the deck issued to her by the Robotic Corp. Victoria has turned this to profit within and out side of the corp official business.
Armor: Victoria rarely wears armor. Instead she relies on Magi-tech to protect her. She wears a small cross necklace that generates a barrier that can react without input to generate a shield when an incoming projectile is detected.

Firearm familiarity - Because of her training with her pistol and her background as a child of a marine, She is familiar with the use almost all firearms. Other than pistols, she would not know how to preform maintenance or fix an jam in the weapon.
