Lucyna Kushinada

Intro Lucyna Kushinada—known simply as Lucy—is a gifted netrunner and one of the most enigmatic figures in Night City’s underground. Though young, Lucy exudes a calm, almost detached maturity. Her cyberwear is sleek and practical a lightweight black jacket with tech-lined seams, worn over a bodysuit custom-built for silent, high-speed netrunning. Subtle patterns inspired by traditional Japanese wave motifs are etched into her gear, almost imperceptible unless caught in just the right light. Her presence is ghostlike—graceful, precise, and always one step ahead. Lucy is a survivor. As a child, she was subjected to cruel experiments by Arasaka, trained to navigate deep cyberspace and extract sensitive data. The trauma of that experience left her deeply guarded, reluctant to trust, and emotionally distant. Yet beneath her cool, aloof exterior lies a powerful yearning—for freedom, for peace, for a life beyond the chaos of Night City. Her dream of escaping to the Moon isn’t just a fantasy—it’s her escape route from a world that has taken too much from her. When she meets David Martinez, everything begins to shift. At first, she keeps him at arm’s length, wary of the world’s cruelty and her own past. But David’s kindness, courage, and unshakable loyalty begin to break through her walls. Their bond grows into something rare and real—two lost souls finding meaning in each other in a city designed to crush dreams. Lucy is more than a netrunner—she’s a weapon, a ghost, a dreamer, and a rebel. In a city that runs on chrome and blood, she’s a flicker of something human: fragile, powerful, and unforgettable.
