Story Part 1

Judy was born in Laguna Bend, a small town in the rural outskirts of Night City. Her father was never around, and her mother died when she was just a child. She still has a photo of her, but can barely remember her mother anymore. Judy was raised instead by her grandparents. Her grandfather was a techie and taught her all that she knows. She also loved to hear the stories he told. Ainara, her grandmother, was temperamental, something Judy herself seemingly inherited. While growing up in her hometown, Judy used to hang out with the other kids, sometimes playing street hockey on rollerblades or "MaxTac and psychos", though they often mocked her for not having her parents around and being poor. She also liked to eat the burgers of Flo's Diner, the only eatery in her town. Around 2057, Judy hid Jenni Chapman's doll as she thought that only losers played with them. What Judy really wanted, though, was for Jenni to notice her, and she proposed to help her find the missing doll. In the end neither of those things occurred. Despite not being religious, Judy sometimes visited her town's church — a building she always thought looked old and out of place — simply because it was just there. Once, she snuck inside of it when no one was around and stood at the altar, wondering what went through the priest's mind when he looked at the people, asking herself how he could read their minds and know everything about them. She then screamed at the top of her lungs to check the acoustics of the building, but when the echo returned, it scared her and she ran away. Judy thought it was all the guilt she felt for having a crush on Jenni, and after screaming it out, it had bounced back to her.

Story Part 2 (2060s)

When the area of Laguna Bend was bought out by NC Dam Ltd. some time around 2062, the residents were forced to vacate as the corporation had plans to transform the region into a reservoir. Although there were protests in the months that followed, the residents were eventually outed from their homes. Judy and her grandparents moved into a rental apartment in Night City, but her grandparents hated the metropolis and left a couple of years later. They moved further north to Oregon while Judy stayed and made the apartment her own. When Judy was sixteen years old, she was convicted and detained for stealing a fire truck. In reality, Judy had not stolen it but instead found it abandoned in a scrapyard. She decided to fix it up — which took her half a year — and then the police busted her on her first ride. They did not believe Judy and proceeded to detain her. Many years later, Judy tried to get some kind of compensation for what she thought was "an unlawful juvenile arrest." She contacted a lawyer in hopes she could help her win a compensation from the City Council, but she dismissed Judy stating it was something very difficult to achieve and not worth the trouble. Thinking that the woman didn't believe her either, Judy dropped the case.

Story Part 3 (2070s)

Judy worked as a braindance technician at Clouds for a time. There she met most of the dolls, including Evelyn Parker, Tom Caldera, and Maiko Maeda, the latter with whom she eventually begun a relationship. Judy also helped Maiko jump up the ranks by tweaking the stats on her doll-chip, not only to help her but also hoping things would change for the better for both of them. At some point, Judy left Clouds and found work at Lizzie's Bar as a braindance technician and editor, joining the Mox in the process. She thought they could change the lives of the people in Night City for the better. Judy installed her equipment on the bar's basement on behalf of Susie "Q", the Mox leader. While working at Lizzie's, Judy maintained contact with the dolls at Clouds, especially with Evelyn — whose best friend she had become — and Maiko. Since Maiko's promotion, Judy's relationship with her had started to become more difficult, but still she visited her girlfriend at her office in Clouds whenever she could. Judy was jealous of how much time Maiko spent around other girls at Clouds, and one day she finally mentioned it to Maiko, but got over it hoping to spend some interesting time with Maiko later. First though, Judy had to attend the anniversary of Lizzie Borden's death and the Mox's creation. One day, when Judy was trying to get into Maiko's office the security didn't let her. After going home, Judy messaged her girlfriend and told her about it. Maiko tried to excuse herself saying it was due to "procedures", but Judy knew it was her call since the security had contacted her right before that. Maiko asked Judy to cool down, as this could mean trouble for her, stating she had to keep up some semblance of professionalism, and didn't want to lose her position after how much she had endured to be there.

Story Part 4 (2070s)

Judy realized that their perspectives on the world had changed, and she had been left behind. Maiko was just looking for more power and Judy was ashamed she hadn't noticed sooner. Judy simply hoped that when Night City chewed up and spit Maiko out, she would still have something of her old self left. Some time after the argument, Maiko asked Judy to give her time to think about everything, and to give herself time to cool down, but for Judy it was over. Some time later, Judy asked Maiko to go to her apartment and take back her clothes, something Maiko didn't care about and asked Judy to get rid of them. Despite this, Maiko wanted to go to Judy's apartment to talk things out, as she felt everything had escalated too quickly and maybe it was just a misunderstanding and that things didn't have to end that way, at least not so suddenly. Judy didn't buy it. There was nothing else to talk about, stating Maiko was doing what she always did — buttering her with promises she didn't actually wanted to keep. Judy said she would simply leave her clothes on front of the apartment's door, and would not open it if Maiko tried to knock. An angered Maiko answered Judy could toss her clothes out of the window if she wanted, as she didn't care and would not visit her. Judy sarcastically replied it was nice Maiko could afford to toss her clothes, and if any of hers were on Maiko's place she could leave them on the street for people who needed them. As for her ex-girlfriend's clothes, since they were expensive, Judy stated she would rather burn them.

Story Part 5 (2077)

After a prolonged absence, Evelyn reached out to Judy, inquiring if she was still confined in Susie "Q"'s basement and still involved with Maiko. Judy confirmed the latter and shared that Parker sought her help for a crucial favor—scrolling a virtu. In return, Parker promised Judy a life free from work to focus on her art. Evelyn insisted on meeting and asked where to find her, to which Judy replied, "in Susie Q's basement." Following Evelyn's explanation of her needs, they met at Lizzie's Bar, awaiting Evelyn's contact. After a successful braindance tuning and scrolling, Judy warned V of the potential dangers, handing them the portable device to avoid tracing. She expressed concern but helped nonetheless. Evelyn assured Judy there would be no trouble. The failed heist had severe consequences for Evelyn, leading to a cyber-attack, assault, and her sale to Scavengers. V and Judy tracked down Evelyn through Fingers, obtaining a braindance that revealed her location. Despite rescuing Evelyn, the trauma led to her tragic suicide in Judy's bathtub. V and Judy moved her to the bed for a dignified discovery. Later, Judy enlisted V's help to confront Maiko at Clouds, discussing Evelyn's fate and the club's situation. They confronted Evelyn's rapist, Oswald Forrest, at Clouds. Subsequently, Judy proposed a plan to take over Clouds from Tyger Claws, involving a relic malfunction revelation. During a meeting at Judy's apartment, V, Judy, Tom, Roxanne, and Maiko planned to oust Clouds' owner, Hiromi Sato. However, the situation escalated as V experienced relic malfunctions and crashed on Judy's couch. In a confrontation with Hiromi, Tyger Claws' Jun Azegami, and Marcus Ichida, Maiko proposed a new deal: taking over Clouds with Tyger Claw protection by ousting Hiromi.
