Monika Schäfer

"See? We're professionals."

Monika Schäfer is a character in Shadowrun: Dragonfall.

Background
A veteran of the shadows and a master decker, Monika runs one of the best shadowrunning crews in the Flux State and is an ardent believer in the righteousness of the ideology that brought about its birth. This leaves her somewhat vulnerable to manipulation, such as when Green Winters manipulated her into the Harfeld Manor Run by claiming she could recover information crucial to the security of the Flux State. This is compensated by her ability to read the Flux and adapt to it.

On a more personal level, she is a crucial element of the fragile balance of power at the Kreuzbasar, where she has close ties with the people eking out an existence in the shadow of the great metropolis. By keeping the people safe, she kept the Basar safe. With her gone, anything can happen.

Interactions

 * Monika organized the Harfeld Manor Run together with Green Winters. Supposed to be a milk run, it went sideways when bio-feedback killed Monika while hacking the vault beneath the estate. All she uttered was Feuerschwinge.
 * In APEX Rising, APEX assumes the persona of Monika, revealing that it killed her and absorbed her memories.
