Ashley Jones

Species: Human turned Remnant Psyche

Alias: (The) Numina"[Ashley] Blonde hair and blue eyes, a teenager with a cheerleader’s build and peppy disposition.""[Numina] Electrical cable rave-dreads and black leather, neon streaks and bent-light for jewelry, Numina presents herself as a the very avatar of cyberpunk."A cheerleader and drill team captain, Ashley Jones presents herself as the perfect, all-American girl. In reality, she is not only the daughter of Charity, the Morrigan of Mab, but also a gifted technomancer who goes to great pains to hide her capabilities from her mother.

When the House of the Moon makes their play to destroy the Internet, it is Ashley that preserves the “glorious data singularity” with a cunning spell that distributes the information across all the cats in Creation. Unfortunately, this requires that she sacrifice her physical body to create a nexus for that information, but for the rest of time a person wishing to seek out the knowledge of humanity’s combined understanding (or that one video of a cat playing a keyboard) can find it by traveling to Evaron and seeking out the Numina.

Ever broadening: Everything a cat observes, everything they hear or sense or otherwise perceive any person (mortal, fae, or otherwise) saying or doing is added to knowledge of the Numina. The end result of this is an information nexus that not only continues to grow but functions for all intents and purposes as a permanent internet connection for virtually sapient creature in existence, automatically uploading everything they don’t keep very strictly to themselves.

Modern: Simple high school cheerleader by day and cyberpunk-styled technomancer by night, Numina is a gifted magician in her own right and the only true Wizard to have successfully bent the modern magics that compose the Internet to her will. Unbeknownst to her, she has drawn the attention of the Tzadikim Nistarim and their Shambles for a possible seat among that most esteemed council.

Aftermath:  Having sacrificed herself to preserve the “glorious data singularity” of the Internet against oblivion at the end of the War, the identity of Ashley Dormier has been seared away by magic, leaving only the semi-sentient phantasm that bears the name Numina in the ruins of Evaron. Bound to a single apartment in a shattered tenement building in the City Between, most of Numina’s interactions with the outside world are accomplished through ordinary housecats who always seem to be able to find their way back to and from the avatar of the Internet.
