(PENDING EDITS)

Neonica (Nina to most) is an eccentric fast food delivery girl with a passion for engineering and invertebrates. in spite of circumstances, she believes in the power of positive thinking and old solutions, and can build pretty much anything with the right tools. many find her hyperactivity a little cloying or are put off by her tendency to keep bugs in her pockets, so her friends are few and far between. she works tirelessly at her job for very little pay, but does her best to have some fun while doing it. 

Nina has always had her head in the clouds, forever dreaming of becoming a pilot but unable to get sufficient grades. despite being terrible with numbers and words, she is extremely resourceful and good at thinking on her feet - a useful skill for someone who reaches top speeds on rollerblades carrying bags of food. with the new sky rapidly filling up with towers and tubes, planes have gone out of vogue and all transport happens by timetables. this poses a problem to people who want things faster than the timetable allows, and opportunities for anyone willing to run the streets for money. in this way, Nina works as a waitress - just not for any particular chain. the company she works for is more like uber eats, if the staff were constantly at risk of getting hit by a bus. Nina is really, really good at not getting hit by a bus. 

between work and sleep, Nina has very little time left over for other activities. she dedicates almost all of this time to tinkering, which also helps her streamline smaller tasks like cooking and cleaning. without a lot of money to throw around she has to salvage most of her materials from the streets, or by trading with people she knows. because of this, she's actually on friendly terms with a number of unusual and suspicious characters. 

(AMEND)

Nina absolutely loves technology and taking whatever joy she can from the dystopian hellscape she lives in. her apartment might be tiny and blatantly unsafe, but like the unstoppable force she is, her mechanical skills have allowed her to customize it into something habitable. whenever she's not whizzing around on her superfast rollerblades with a dozen pizzas, she can usually be found tinkering with her living space. while appearing saccarine and naive at a glance, Nina absolutely despises the way the world works. since she's a freelancer, doctors/hospitals/courts/etc are all pretty much inaccessible due to infinite waitlists and paperwork. instead, she goes underground for anything she can't solve on her own. it's definitely not legal and she only knows about it because she delivers food to a guy in IT, but they've fixed her bones enough times to prove their worth ten times over.
