LOVE the idea of Jordi being accused of being some sort of domestic terrorist. Perhaps the bad dudes can photoshop her into some still photos from a surveillance camera that seem to implicate her in something -- and these photos get splashed across every news wire and cable station.
And while I'm clearly deferring to you on her look, I will toss this out for consideration -- what if she starts out as a wallflower science nerd loner who uses her hacking skills to intercept text messages regarding parties she's not invited to. Then, when the conglomerate plays hardball and ups the stakes by accusing her of being a terrorist, that's when she's forced to go on the run and change her look. Maybe this is the moment that she starts to look like the alter ego she always wanted to be. Her changing her look -- however that might be -- could be this transformative moment that signals "look out -- she means business".
But it could still be humanizing and funny to have her get all fierce and punked out and then realize that she still needs her dorky glasses.
Also, somewhat along those lines, how about ratcheting up to her being implicated as a terrorist. Maybe, initially, when the conglomerate becomes aware that she's responsible for the satellite disruption (or, more precisely, aware that she has information that threatens billions of dollars from their revenue stream) they send a team to clean her up. But what if -- they accidentally kill her mom instead. This would: 1) Obviously, make everything more personal, 2) Make her search for -- and ultimate location of -- her father more integral, and 3) allow us to have her go on the run without explaining why there isn't a parent at home freaking the heck out.
By the way, didn't we at one time have a name for the conglomerate? I'm not asking for those brain cells back, as long as you still have yours.
