To mark the days until Psion Alpha is released, each day I'm going to post a small profile of minor characters from the books to give them greater depth. The final character will be presented the day before Alpha's release. I promise that by reading these you'll be pumped up for the next book and also learn a thing or two about some FASCINATING characters. So, without further adieu, here is the first character profile:
Vitória Silva
Vitória Silva was born on January 9, 2072 in Rio de Janeiro. Her parents called her “Tori.” Tori loved volleyball and football, and was an avid fan of the Botafogo Football club based in Rio. She dyed her black hair half-white when Botafogo won the Campeonato Carioca in 2085. The oldest of three children, Tori’s favorite game to play with her two little brothers, Hector and Raul, was Houdini. They tied each other up and raced to see who could get untied first. Tori was an average student in general, but excelled at football as a keeper. Many coaches in her league saw her as someone with enormous potential.
Walking home from football practice January 3, 2086, Tori and her friends were crossing the street when a car ran a red light and slammed into Tori. Tori, however, was uninjured. Another driver witnessed the incident and phoned a special hotline, alerting the government of the strange occurrence. That same evening, Tori was picked up from her home and taken in for questioning. Her parents were too scared to fight against the men in suits who took her away. She was thirteen at the time of her capture, and turned fourteen after seven days of captivity. When Sammy was captured by the Aegis, he was placed in her cell. By this time, she had grown so distrustful of everyone that she refused to talk to him. She was held for a total of eighteen days before she broke and was taken to another facility for extraction.
