History
Date of Birth: November 21st, 1988
Home: Oakland, California, United States
Family: Matsu and Janet Tarao (parents), Erik (older brother)
Comrades: Liko Neng, Ushi Lam, Barbara Mao, Lamar Hung-Washington, Tina Lang, Stuart Jing, Rikki Willards
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (mixed-race couple faced little issue raising their family in Oakland, but dealt with more racism when the Taraos moved to Kansas City for Kyi's father's job working as a data entry coder for Lockton insurance; she herself always excelled at computers, coding, and electronics in general; she learned how to hack as a teen and did it often to steal extra cash for she and her friends)
Key Event #2: War (her first encounter with shen occurred on her way home from working at Starbucks; she stumbled across a pitched battle in a back alley between hengeyokai/hsien and monstrous bakemono; a friendly Nyan spotted her and pulled her aside before she totally freaked out, yet she proved relatively calm and collected)
Transition: Shift in Nature (mentally suited for interaction with shen, she began to help the Court with her computer skills as both researcher and hacker, aiding a number of crises over the next few years, while her own computer-tinkering ran her across Liko Neng, and the two hooked up over fiber-wire and coffee)
Significant Other
Name: Liko Neng, 2007
Nature: Romantic
Neng
Weakness
Weakest Link
As a hacker, Kyi knows that every system is vulnerable at particular spots: weak links in the chain code, so to speak. However, as an ordinary human being, running with the "big guns" (shen) may mean she's the weak link in any given crew.
Likelihood of Corruption
Low.
She's fairly vulnerable to supernatural domination and corruption, but she's also surrounded by powerful and superfluously aware "heroes". She isn't the way to worm into the Court's core.
