 Theora / Max Headroom
Theora is a tall, willowy Human woman, slim enough to pass for an Elf when she keeps her ears under her hair, though broad-shouldered enough that she ends up cutting the shoulder pads out of things she buys off the rack.
She picked her identity as Theora Jones (and her Matrix icon as Max Headroom) from an old flatvid series that was in the family archives, and accordingly selected a difficult-to-trace background in Wales before going on to Oxford to study for a couple of years.
Theora is currently looking to establish herself as something of a deckmeister with a mainframe and a microtronics facility; gathering a cadre of elite deckers together to battle the SOTA will be the next step from there.

Theora is an open video codec being developed by the Xiph.org Foundation as part of their Ogg project (It is a project that aims to integrate On2's VP3 video codec, Ogg Vorbis audio codec and Ogg multimedia container formats into a multimedia solution that can compete with MPEG-4 format).
