'''Weaver Márquez''' is a gifted mathematician and [[Shannon]]'s cousin and childhood friend. A mysterious woman with a semi-mystical
presence, Weaver guides [[Conway]] and Shannon to the {{ZeroLink}} in [[Act I]]. She is often cryptic, but never lies. Shannon describes her as having had trouble focusing in high school, saying, "She was so smart, but always going off in different directions, mind racing, like five conversations going on in her head at once and you're lucky if even one of them is with someone in the room." She has a tendency to mysteriously disappear.
