History
Early Life
Shiba Kanei was born in Tokyo Japan in the year 2051, to Himura Kanei and Yutani Kanei. She, however, barely made it out. At birth she was diagnosed with Ivemark syndrome, causing her life expectancy to drop to near-nothing. In order to sustain her life, an estimated hundred thousand Eurodollars was spent every year to replace and repair her organs with synthetic counterparts. The first thirteen years of her life were spent in a hospital, and nothing notable occurred.
Education
When she was fourteen, she finally was allowed to leave the hospital. She had seen education while hospitalized, but her parents had wanted her to go to proper school. She attended primary school in Japan, where she received decent grades and finally graduated at nineteen years old. Against the wishes of her parents, she attended Night City Technical college. She spent four years there, however there are no records of her ever attending, or receiving any grades. All information points to her parents removing the records.
Night City
Shiba spent only four years in Night City. However, these four years changed her drastically. There are no records of how or why, but she was likely involved in criminal activity between the Tyger Claws and the modern Yakuza. The time in Night City radicalized her political and social views, starting a rebellious phase, which was quickly put out by her hesitant parents.
Modern events
Arrival
Shiba Kanei was among the first five to appear on the FAS Odyssey of Hope after traveling through universes. Unbeknownst to her she had more cosmic relevance than she expected. She found that none of her Cyberware was damaged in the transition period. Very quickly she came into contact with Ethan Feyrer, who she had never met before, but somehow knew who she was. After learning about her situation, she resolved to figure out even more about the world. In that day, the Aescir Rogues attacked after Ethan Feyrer had switched on the station's systems, powering them on and breaking the concealment that the Odyssey had lived under for the first time in decades. Alongside other notable people, such as Jack Mender (ODST), Kolsa, and an unnamed combat android.
