random hc's about cipher + her accent

She *is* an American citizen despite her very obvious London accent. She was born in New York while her father was under the employment of V0ught in their R&D department ( hence why/how she got V'd up as a baby ). Rog moved the family back to London shortly after her first birthday to help set up a satellite lab there ( they are V0ught International, after all ). She has dual citizenship, but V0ught obviously doesn't want to acknowledge the British one at all.

Also re: her accent, there was a real push and a lot of pressure put on her while she was attending g0dolkin to lose the accent completely so by the time she was an upper classmen and being considered for the se.ven it couldn't be held against her. V0ught brough in vocal and linguistic coaches and everything. While she did learn to tamp it down, she doesn't make any real effort to hide it. TBH she hates how she sounds without it, and at this point, what are they going to do about it? It would be too weird for her to suddenly not have it now.

Re: her accent part 3, she makes a point to lean into it an makes it even more pronounced around an absolute prat like Fi.recracker for shits and giggles.
