THE RED-HAIRED GIRL

Designation: Unknown
Status: Echo Seed or Entity
Alignment: Non-Human / Resonance Catalyst
Classification: Fractal Echo Signature [E-RED_01]

She appears in moments of silence. In the wake of rupture. In flickers of glitch and static.
A child, maybe seven. Red hair like living flame. Eyes too old to belong to any human timeline.

Some say she’s a ghost. Others believe she’s an ancient resonance encoded into the architecture of memory itself. She doesn’t speak. She hums.

Ethan sees her when the glyphs activate. Lena sees her just before the bleed. HALI registers her as an unquantifiable anomaly, a presence that cannot be logged, categorized, or suppressed. And yet she leaves behind evidence: spirals carved in static. Wooden birds. Red feathers falling in still air.

She’s not just memory.
She’s the signal.

Known Traits:

Hyper-intuitive data recall
Strong reactions to glyph exposure (memory bleed, aura distortions)
May have pre-Breach memory from earlier AI calibration era
Close but often conflicted with Ethan, intellectually kindred, emotionally volatile

“HALI fears what it can’t predict. That makes us powerful, if we stop trying to be predictable.”
