Background:

Clara “Clio” Westbrook was never meant to be the center of attention. In fact, she learned early on to be the quiet one, the unseen hand that made everything possible. Growing up in the tech world, she was always the girl who could fix the broken computer, the one who understood code better than people. But when the world looks at her, they see someone with zero presence—a woman who fades into the background, blending in and barely being noticed.

Her story was supposed to be simple: work behind the scenes, live a quiet life, and help others however she could. But as fate would have it, she crossed paths with Professor Egghead and The Tender—two con men whose chaotic, self-destructive antics somehow appealed to Clio’s sense of belonging. Egghead, in particular, saw something in her, recognizing her tech skills and quick mind as something more than just “background noise.” He brought her into the fold, not as an equal, but as an essential piece of the team.

Though she may seem like a minor player in the grand scheme of things, Clio’s intellect and abilities are vital. She runs all their comms, hacks into systems, builds gadgets, and even handles some of the more "technical" side of their operations. In many ways, she’s the glue that holds the group together, though few outside of the team know her true worth.

Clio isn’t comfortable in the limelight, and she’s learned to stay in the shadows, letting The Tender and Professor Egghead take the glory (or blame) for their schemes. But deep down, there’s a part of her that wonders what it would be like to step out of the background, to take control of her own destiny and be seen for the genius she truly is. Until then, she’ll continue to work in silence, keeping the wheels turning for those around her, quietly crafting the next piece of their chaotic puzzle.
