Ada

2: Do they have any daily rituals?

Ada is a generally quiet person when she’s alone, and she likes to set aside a quarter-millicycle or so to just spend working through paperwork, reading up on what’s happening, and generally letting herself focus. People who interrupt her at this time irritate her.

5: Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

Ada is a believer in ‘a place for everything and everything in its place.’ Her desk is usually as clean as she can keep it, except when she’s actively working on something. Her apartment is a little more disorganized (and decorated, in places) but there’s still a sense that everything has a place. She never just leaves things lying around if she can avoid it.

8: Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

Ada’s main indulgence is probably letting herself visit her brother without having a ulterior motive (which is often work). She and Eckert will get together from time to time and hang out, make themselves drinks and simply let themselves relax. It’s often bittersweet, since Castor’s deresolution, but Ada and Eckert are closer than ever.

Quorra was the crown jewel of his rectified army, the last ISO, turned into a weapon. She was still imperfect in her deepest coding, of course; but for now, she was nothing more than a symbol. The final ISO, wearing red circuits —

Ada’s disc. Without it she’d be defenseless, as well as decaying - basically, she’ll die before she gives it up.

It’s the little gestures that matter with Ada. For her to love someone she has to trust them, and she tends to show that in pretty standard ways.

One notable way for her, though, is that she’ll brush her fingertips against people’s circuits if she trusts them. It’s not sexual in the slightest, but it lets them ‘feel’ her emotions, at least the superficial ones. It’s equatable to having a real heart-to-heart, and if Ada doesn’t trust someone, she won’t touch them beyond what’s necessary.

Long enough to maybe escape with a limb intact.

I’m kidding, of course. If Roz or someone of that caliber wanted Ada derezzed, Ada wouldn’t stand a chance. Ada’s skills lie in avoiding a fight, whether it’s by defusing the situation or simply convincing the officer they’d rather take her alive than in bits. If it came down to a one on one fight, with no escape though, she’s screwed.

[Rectified!Ada might be able to land a good solid blow, but that’s because she keeps the grid equivalent of brass knuckles on her at almost all times. She could surprise them with one good blow, and then run like hell, and maybe survive, depending on where she ran to.]
