Didi

Background:
Didi is a free-spirited, adventurous hippie from Columbus, Ohio, who was swept into the world of New York City’s underground scene. She was initially recruited by Ramona after a chance encounter at a Led Zeppelin concert, where she was selling “orange sunshine” (LSD). Didi’s carefree attitude and street smarts make her a natural fit for Ramona’s team. She is resourceful, quick-witted, and unafraid to take risks, often using her charm and charisma to infiltrate dangerous situations.

Her journey into the city’s underbelly took an even darker turn when she was kidnapped by a pimp shortly after arriving in New York. The man, a smooth talker with a violent streak, forced her into the world of sex work, where she began performing at Billie’s, a legendary strip club on 24th Street and Sixth Avenue. Billie’s was a hotspot for criminals, corrupt cops, and underground power players—a place where secrets were traded as often as dollar bills.

During her time at Billie’s, Didi quickly learned how to navigate dangerous men and volatile situations. She developed an acute sense of reading people, knowing when to play the flirt, when to act naïve, and when to disappear. The experience hardened her, but it also sharpened her skills—making her an expert at manipulation, deception, and survival. Eventually, she found a way out, escaping the pimp’s control with the help of a fellow dancer who mysteriously disappeared shortly afterward.

Role in the Team:
Didi is the team’s undercover operative, often posing as a junkie or a carefree party girl to gather intelligence. Her ability to blend into different environments—whether it’s the Bronx heroin scene or the glamorous nightlife of Manhattan—makes her invaluable. Her time at Billie’s gave her a deep understanding of the criminal world, allowing her to move through it undetected. She has connections among dancers, low-level dealers, and even some crooked cops, which gives her access to crucial information. She has also perfected the art of seduction as a tool, using it to manipulate men who underestimate her.

She has survived encounters with dangerous figures like Pancho and Nikki Barnes, not just through charm but through sheer grit. If she needs to, she can hold her own in a fight, often relying on quick reflexes and street tactics rather than brute strength.

Personality:
Didi is playful, rebellious, and fiercely loyal to her team. She has a knack for turning dire situations into opportunities, often using humor and quick thinking to navigate challenges. Despite her tough exterior, she has a soft spot for her fellow “Vision Girls” and is deeply committed to their mission.

She masks much of her past trauma with jokes, wild stories, and an ever-present sense of adventure. But beneath the carefree attitude, there’s a woman who has seen the worst of the world and refuses to be a victim ever again. She doesn’t trust easily, but once she does, she will fight to the end for those she considers family.
