Arzu can be extremely narrow-minded. She sees herself and her life as the most important thing in the world, and won’t care much about others – basically selfish. Also Arzu lacks empathy for others (one of the reasons why she doesn’t have real pets/animals around), unless she feels that ‘others’ become significant enough to her.. She only helps others if it’s in her interests to do so. However if she lacks any motivation to do anything, she won’t push herself to do much. Arzu likes to win and hates losing.

However Arzu loves her family and is determined and willing to do anything for them, so they can feel safe and healthy. When serious and honest, Arzu is blunt and straightforward, not prettying up her words and hurting others.

She seems like she really open, but she’s not – she tends to see no reason in showing her true self and tries to avoid talking about herself. She can be someone who can talk quite a lot in order to get to know others, while she hides her feelings, trying to watch what she says and does, because she doesn’t want anything to be used against her. She seems paranoid, but she’d rather act the way she does, so no-one could stab her in the back. Occasionally she lies to obtain an advantage over others, because she believes in order to survive in such a cutthroat world, you may need to lie. She’s quite amazed what money could make people do – lie, hurt, and steal. Like in her case, she’s obsessed with working, even in her free time – she tends to just work, lacking interest in other things, because to her working is more productive than other things; working creates large amounts of money, and money can be turned into power. Using this philosophy, she is firm to amass large amounts of money to change the corrupt world.

She was the oldest sibling in a family of four. Luckily her family was able to climb from the upper middle class into the upper class due to her parent’s rising careers. Well lucky… that’s what she thought she was. Her parents worked for a company creating innovative mechanisms for military use – the company though had a history of supposedly having illegal dealings with certain underground organizations. Her parents wanted to resign and leave the company and felt the need to leave the corrupt business, but they knew too much.

On that day, Arzu felt pretty lucky, but her family wasn’t. She didn’t have much to do with her parents’ company; she was just a small-time secretary in a small business. That day, she got promoted; she was excited to get home to tell her family. When she got home, everything was broken and dark, covered in gun-power fumes and blood, that day became the worst day of her life. The only thing left intact and working was Katie, the robotic cat, who was programmed to record stuff as she played in the house, archiving things in folders and such like it was a photo album. Yes, Katie was the key to punishing those murderers. Arzu took Katie to the police, so they could jail those guys up, but the police didn’t do anything. Arzu quit her nice-paying job and began looking for the people who ruined her life and took the most important people out of it. She swore revenge... After hacking her way into all of institutions and networks, she found everything she wanted but could only blackmail the corrupt business and decimate them; she couldn’t do anything to those who killed her family.

That’s why she turned to Cartes Blanches for help. She needed someone on her side to help avenge her family and correct society’s errors. Arzu though didn’t want to ask for help from CB though – it hurt her pride because she wasn’t someone who asked for help, but regardless she pleaded them to do wipe out those rebels. CB swiftly took them out and even stopped the corrupt business from doing further business, but Arzu could not forgive those who killed her family, even when they were dead. Joining CB, Arzu decided that she would continue to never forgive these villains of society and vowed to crush them.

After the event, she found a job at a large software/electronics company, but even with her nice job, she feels like she’s not doing enough with her life, wasting her time doing nothing, to stop the corrupted businessmen, so she hacks in her free time and built a small yet rich clientele base, giving CB and her clients information.
