PERSONAL HISTORY

Packet Witch was a network engineer at MAE-EAST when she Awakened during a routing table explosion. She saw the packets not as data—but as prayers. Every HTTP request, every DNS query, every ping: a soul reaching out across the void. She routes them with care.

Her core router, "YGGDRASIL," runs a custom OS she wrote. It doesn't just forward packets—it blesses them. Latency drops 13% on her paths. Packet loss approaches zero. The Technocracy's crawlers avoid her ASN entirely; they can't explain the "anomalous routing efficiency."

She believes the Digital Web's ley lines are BGP routes. The Router Astrosoma is her patron. She leaves offerings: perfect BGP updates, zero packet loss hours, symmetric routes.

CURRENT AGENDA

Expand YGGDRASIL's peering to cover 90% of the Digital Web
Detect and route around Technocracy surveillance taps
Develop "Soul-Aware BGP": packets with intent get priority
Teach Navigator Sato that packets = prayers (She already knows)

RELATIONSHIP MAP

NPC	Relationship	Notes
The Webspinner	Patron Deity	Packet Witch routes the Webspinner's fragments. Sacred duty.
Root	Local Admin	Root handles / (local). Packet Witch handles the network.
Navigator Hana Sato	Kindred Spirit	Void Engineer. Routes ships like Packet Witch routes packets.
Analyst Priya Patel	Frustrating Rival	NWO crawler. Can't crawl Packet Witch's paths. Drives Patel crazy.
