'''Junior Programmer'''

Shauna Braun is a young programmer from [[Paragon City]]. She was raised by her father in a tiny apartment in between [[Kings Row]] and [[Independence Port]]. Shauna moved out when she went to college, but her father - having sacrificed so much to give his daughter a good education - continued to live there until it burned down a year ago. The [[PPD]] closed the case, citing an accident as the cause of the fire, but Shauna doesn't buy the explanation. She wants to uncover the truth behind her father's death and bring the perpetrators to justice.

=== Initial Contact ===

{{darkorange|This young woman's trendy clothes, designer sunglasses, and thin frame makes her look ready to begin a night out on the town, rather than looking for a hero. But as you approach, she slides her sunglasses down to look at you straight, revealing heavy bags under her eyes. Her lips are pressed thin and she takes your measure.}}

So you're {{Character}}? I've read about you before, heard the stories of all the people you've helped... You're the type that isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to make sure justice gets done, right?

My father was murdered, but the police won't do anything about it. They claim he died in an accident, but I know that's not true! I have a feeling that there are some powerful people who don't want me to uncover the truth. Can you help me, {{Character}}?

=== Wrong Alignment ===

Can I help you? I'm not really interested in chatting...

=== Greeting ===

*  We're going to get to the bottom of this. I know that I can count on you to help bring my father's killers to justice.

=== Too Busy ===

Thanks for coming to see me, {{Character}}, but you look like you have a lot on your plate already. You'll need to devote a lot of attention to help me.

=== No More Missions ===

I don't know what I'm going to do now, Character. I just need to be left alone to think.

==== Souvenir ====
'''Business Card for Rider Development'''

''' ''(This souvenir is awarded if you choose the hero route in the final mission.)'' '''

You kept this business card from real estate mogul Andrew Rider as a reminder of the time you put your trust in the Paragon City justice system instead of taking it into your own hands.

'''Dirty Work'''

It started when a young woman named Shauna Braun contacted you. She had reason to believe her father had been murdered, but the police told her there wasn't enough evidence to continue investigating. She asked you retrieve some financial records from the offices of Rider Development, a real estate development firm. As you arrived at the offices, you found the Family on the premises. You fought your way past them, finally finding the files showing payments made from Rider Development to numerous Family front companies.

Shauna shared her suspicion that Andrew Rider, the owner of Rider Development, was the man who murdered her father. You followed up on another transaction from the files, a suspiciously large donation made to Paragon City Councilman Matthew Stone. You broke into his office and found some old memos detailing his opposition to a redevelopment plan pitched by Rider to tear down Blackwood Tower, the apartment complex Shauna's father lived in. Stone ultimately voted for the measure, shortly before receiving the donation from Rider, though it ultimately didn't matter. Blackwood Tower burned down and the fire inspector's report blamed a grease fire, apparently started in Mr. Braun's apartment. Shauna's father, and numerous others, died in the fire.

You went to confront Stone about the apparent bribery at a PR event at a local warehouse, only to find the Family had arrived to threaten Stone. You saved him and he claimed Rider had intimidating him into voting for his redevelopment plan, only paying him off afterward to keep his silence. However, he told you where you could find all the evidence the investigator gathered about the Blackwood Tower fire so you could find the truth.

You broke into the investigator's office and found reams of evidence that the fire was actually arson. None of that evidence was ever made public. It was clear that Rider had the building burned down and used a corrupt investigator to cover up the truth.

You took the evidence to the police, but they were only willing to bring Rider in on bribery charges, claiming the evidence that he'd committed arson was too flimsy.

Shauna was not satisfied with that and asked you to take him down, permanently. You went after Rider, fighting past the Family goons he had hired to protect him. He begged for his life, offering to admit to the bribery charges and accept the sentence if you spared him. You stayed your hand and accepted his offer, taking him into police custody. Shauna was furious, sure that he'd get out in a few years and hurt even more people in his thirst for money. But blood can't be washed away with more blood.

'''Falsified Investigation'''

''' ''(This souvenir is awarded if you choose the vigilante route in the final mission.)'' '''

You kept this copy of a falsified fire investigation to remind yourself that sometimes justice must look outside the law.

He tried to bargain for his life, offering to admit to the bribery charges and serve his sentence. You knew that if he got out, his pursuit of money would keep stomping on the little guy. You put an end to his greed... permanently. There's blood on your hands, but far less than what Rider was responsible for.
