Backstory
Beatrice Wong, sixty-eight years old and sharp as ever despite what her children think, approaches gaming with the same methodical brilliance she once brought to engineering projects. Her motivation stems from a burning need to prove that her mind is still formidable, sparked by her family's condescending assumptions about her capabilities. Her immediate goal is mastering this newfangled gaming thing well enough to shock her know-it-all son, but her deeper aspiration involves reclaiming the sense of competence and respect she feels she's lost in retirement. A former aerospace engineer who helped design satellite systems, Beatrice spent forty years commanding respect in male-dominated rooms, only to find herself treated like a confused child the moment she retired. She's fiercely independent, refuses to ask for help even when she needs it, and approaches every new challenge as a battle to be won. Her competitive nature means she takes gaming far more seriously than anyone expected, turning a casual hobby into a personal crusade.
