Echoes Received:
Dates represent when the echo was ICly received, not the date of approval.
1st Echo: Tier 1, Memory. Early November, 2013.
* From seeing a deer up close in the park.
* A woman's voice mocking her about being able to go outside, which for some reason makes her more frustrated than angry; and her number.
2nd Echo: Tier 1, Memory. November 15, 2013.
* From participating in mission control for the tunnel exploration.
* The memory of her Relaxation Vault and part of GLaDOS's introduction (up to "you are now ready to begin the test proper," but the name of the facility itself is fuzzy.)
3rd Echo: Tier 1, Memory. December 3rd, 2013.
* From being caught in an earthquake.
* The memory of being in an ancient destroyed hotel room while it was jolting around and crumbling.
4th Echo: Tier 2, Item/Memory. December 15, 2013.
* From running from the Blood Keys with Wheatley.
* Her portal gun. At the moment, it can only fire blue portals, and its lifting capability is disabled.
* The impression that she's made an escape with Wheatley before. No more detail than that.
5th Echo: Tier 1, Item. December 22nd, 2013.
* Merry Echomas!
* The Aperture radio from her second echo. The only thing it can play is that remix of Still Alive.
6th Echo: Tier 1, Memory. December 31st, 2013.
* From seeing Hajime's bugmonster form on the network.
* A man's voice talking about science gone wrong: "Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news..."
7th Echo: Tier 1, Memory. January 7th, 2014.
* From Anders asking if she remembered being fashion-challenged.
* The same voice from her first echo: "That jumpsuit you're wearing looks stupid. That's not me talking, it's right here in your file..." (up through "a medical degree! In fashion! From France!")
8th Echo: Tier 2, Memory. January 25th, 2014.
* From encountering snake statues at the farmhouse planning meeting.
* A vivid memory of looking up at a vaguely feminine mechanical figure, surrounded by screens (i.e. GLaDOS in her lair from the first game.)
* The knowledge that that robot is what she was escaping from with Wheatley, and they wanted to shut her down so they could get out.
9th Echo: Tier 2, Item/Memory. February 23rd, 2014.
* From volunteering to test one of Nathaniel's staves and being referred to as "a perfect test subject."
* The memory of GLaDOS saying, "But with you here, I've got more test subjects than I'll ever need."
* Her test subject's uniform, i.e. a terrible orange jumpsuit.
?th Echo: Tier 2, Item/Memory. March 9th, 2014 (not yet obtained ICly)
* From proximity to Wise Snake.
* The Device has been modified so that it can now manufacture two linked portals at once.
* The memory of receiving the portal gun for the first time, with the associated speech. ("Very good!" through "Under no circumstances should you-")

Notes:
Preincarnation: Silent, pathologically stubborn, strong-willed, problem solver.
Reincarnation: Calm, practical, curious, fond of puzzles.
Key differences: More social, actually talks, stubbornness within average range.

Pre-existing CR?: She attended LCU from 2005-2009 (if my math is right), studying communications; she also participated in track while she was there. She's lived in the city since then. Feel free to recognize her if your character was at college at the same time.

Typical haunts: Her home (a tiny apartment in an okay part of town), the Prometheus building (incl. coffee shop), Espresso Yourself, various parks; currently avoiding the Dead District and Key territory like the plague.

Other:
Interests and hobbies include: Running, puzzles (particularly jigsaws and other assembly puzzles, and crosswords), science/tech news (she can often be found with a relevant magazine on her lunch break)... coffee?
She has a blocky little used car nicknamed "the Orange Box". RIP car. It'll be totaled during the Wise Snake fight.
She recently got an ice-enchanted staff from Nathaniel.
