Her appearance through the Relic shows a glimpse of her past and presents her in custom colored netrunner suit with red to black ombré from top to bottom, and a custom new variant of the denim jacket without two belts on her left sleeve. The jacket is gray-to-black gradient with a patch, four pins, one of which has the Samurai logo, and has a skeletal rib cage decal on the back.

This appearance is not heavily modified, however a netrunning port can be visible on the back of her head.

Early Life Song So Mi was born on December 29th, 2045. She grew up in New York City alongside her mother, with no mention of a father.[1][9] Around the age of 13, So Mi convinced a local ripperdoc to sell her an old, worn-out cyberdeck. Ever since she was always diving onto the Net.[10]

2060s - 2069 During her teenage years, So Mi lived in an apartment in Brooklyn, NYC. During that time, she had a few friends and a boyfriend named Lucas.[9] Song used to search for out-of-the-way places where she could jack in and steal her way into the Net. She also picked up the riskiest gigs she could find, improving her netrunner abilities along the way, and despite her unsuccessful results, from time to time she managed to pull off some of those gigs. In 2063 or 2064, she hacked a Biotechnica fermentation facility in Oregon.[10]

At the age of 19, So Mi caught the attention of the FIA after breaching a Militech datafort by using their base in Ankara as a proxy. NetWatch eventually caught her, though she barely managed to escape. Militech mapped her signal at the last second, and despite the plans to flatline her, FIA Agent Solomon Reed spoke against it, instead proposing to recruit her.[1][11] Reed was sent to New York with that task in mind, though Song declined his offer. To convince her, Reed mentioned that after the stun she had tried to pull, NetWatch would not only target her, but the people she cared for as well; as such, only he and the FIA could avoid that outcome. Song took that as blackmail, and despite her initial refusal, she eventually accepted. The young netrunner left her old life behind and departed from Brooklyn with Reed.[9] On their way out of the city, So Mi did not look sad but refused to look back at her home, saying that Reed had seemingly saved her life. Solomon knew she did not believe those words.[12]

At some point afterwards, So Mi swore the NUSA oath to President Rosalind Myers, officially becoming an FIA agent. She was given the codename Songbird.

So Mi lived a happy life in Brooklyn, surrounded by her friends, who used to support her work. However, when So Mi became more occupied by suicidal gigs, her ambition blinded her to the effort and care her closest ones showed by keeping her alive. Due to this, she became distant from those who loved her the most.[9]

As she took on more dangerous jobs, So Mi eventually found herself in trouble after hacking Militech's fortress. This put her on the radar of both NetWatch and President Myers, who believed she could use So Mi's talent for personal gain. Agent Reed was sent to persuade nineteen-year-old So Mi to join the Federal Intelligence Agency. She didn't agree at first, not wanting to leave everything she loves behind, until Reed used blackmail on her, saying that he could protect her friends, or So Mi can let them be killed by NetWatch.[9]

In the FIA So Mi lost all her autonomy and personality. She had to play according to the plan FIA gave her. This led her to be in bigger danger than she would ever imagine rather than be safe as Reed promised. So Mi became nothing more, than just another weapon in Myers' eyes who used her to break international laws governing cyberspace use.[19] Songbird was forced into penetrating the Blackwall and used its results to give NUSA the upper hand toward potential enemies. However, those actions had consequences on no one else but So Mi herself, as the deeper she reached, the more of her body started to fail, resulting in a full-cyborg transformation and her mind being infected by Rogue AIs from beyond the Blackwall.[9]

To fight for her life, So Mi came up with an ambitious but naive plan of exchanging Rosalind Myers' life for the AI neural matrix that Kurt Hansen had, leading to the attack on Space Force One. Song So Mi, known as Songbird, is an intelligence analyst for the New United States (NUSA) and a trusted aide to President Rosalind Myers. Her netrunning skills make her indispensable to the NUSA government.
