Kasey Jones, 19
Fashion Influencer
As the daughter of a prominent banker, Kasey enjoyed a sheltered
upbringing in the affluent neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. When she
began to share photos and fashion tips on Instagram, the Internet
immediately took a liking to her. Online, Kasey seemed like the perfect
girl. Her life-style videos were watched by thousands of followers,
making her an Internet celebrity. While Kasey was beautiful and
appeared to be confident, in reality, no one actually knew who she was.
Vera´s investigation leads her to understand Kasey’s fragility, and
discovers her secret life filled with sadness and insecurities.
Projecting a persona that did not exist, Kasey used the Internet as a
way to cope with social pressure and dwindling self-esteem, which made
her the ideal target for the L3G10N, a malicious cybercult hidden deep
in the Darknet.
