Yet another character. This one's actually rather vitally important to the Crackverse, if not incredibly major, so just sit tight, folks.

This is Dr. Noreen Newport (last name constantly pending, I'm never satisfied), medical researcher and inheriter of a medical research facility. Around the same time Firefly was turned into Phospherous, her facility was going bankrupt due to lack of funding. A distraught Freeze went to her and requested that she help make Firefly human again, and knowing the publicity she could get, she agreed. She actually ended up falling for Freeze at some point, making it all the more painful for her that she ended up healing Firefly only to have him and Freeze get together.

However, she became quite distracted by the fact when one of her employees, a bright-eyed researcher straight out of university, started putting a certain criminal robot back together within her facility during his spare time. When DAVE was turned back on, she immediately took it upon herself to make sure he didn't cause too much mayhem, so she threw him into her attic. He eventually chose to stay living there. They have this sort of love/hate relationship in that they depend on each other but that doesn't keep them from wanting to brutally mutilate each other sometimes.

She's also pretty good friends with Freeze and Firefly and on relatively good terms with the rest of the villains, since she uses her innumerable connections to get chemicals, machinery, and basically anything else they need...for a fee, of course (and she's always willing to accept her pay in diamonds, developing a fixation with them after getting to know Freeze. In this picture she's wearing diamond earrings and a diamond necklace).

Possible dialogue for this picture:
"OK, where's the fucking duct tape?"
"DAVE, what the Hell did you do this time?"
