In NEON HOPE you can rescue them from a secret facility, where they are being held. If you free them, they will join your team to cause even more trouble – keeping the corporation off your trail. ✊✊✊

But why does she have 1 in all her attributes? Because she is actually the most flexible character in NEON HOPE. Her Character Tool card flips to grant her just the perfect attribute boost – at least if you time it right. Otherwise you might be stuck with 1s.
