Character Description: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV
Born on Earth, a loner practically throughout her short life, Ed's life experience has been probably 90% virtual. A self-taught genius hacker, this tomboy lives for the Net, going by the pseudonym "Radical Edward" and amassing one of the most legendary reputations in the Net.
Having had very little outside contact, Edward's behavior can only be described as bizarre. She acts much like a wild child, never addressing herself in first-person (a sign of her social immaturity). About the only time she's coherent is if she's working with something electronic. She either knows or can figure out the ins and outs of practically anything she sees, and there probably doesn't exist the computer that Ed can't hack. Hacking into machines happens to be her favorite hobby. She gets a real kick out of leaving her calling card (a smiley-face) on a victim's machine before letting loose a little bit of chaos.
She's been a fan of the Bebop for quite some time, so she is more than happy to assist the crew when it arrives on Earth in search of a bounty. She's so fond of the ship that she hacks into it and makes it pick her up before heading out again.
According to the Cowboy Bebop The Movie DVD, the character of Edward was originally meant to be a boy, but at the last minute it was decided to change Edward into a girl in order to better offset the crew of the Bebop.
