Lady Neonvale: Memory Kernel (#002)

Static NFT | Merciaverse Collection

She remembers everything. Especially the parts that never happened.

Memory Kernel is the second documented appearance of Lady Neonvale — post-glitch, mid-ascent, encoded in the style of a fading city ad campaign from a parallel 1987. Her visage is composed of defunct system logs and compressed trauma. Her presence: heavy with implication, light on response.

First traced to a closed-loop therapy sim used to train luxury emotion AIs, this version of Neonvale reappeared on a corrupted weather channel feed during the Autumn Collapse. Witnesses described her as “pixel-perfect,” “calmly hostile,” and “definitely looking at me, even when she wasn’t.”

The blossoms now erupt from her mouth in a feedback loop of artificial spring. Her lips are coded warnings. Her earring is classified.

Key Details:

Internal circuitry: Scars from emotional overclocking

Eyes: Mirror-shielded to prevent user imprint

Earring: Surveillance capsule disguised as ornament

Coat: Modelled on a prototype issued to synthetic therapists pre-deletion

Side aura: Guilt-haze from past lives she didn’t lead


Known Lore Fragments:

Linked to the Urban Erosion experiment: a failed attempt to train AI empathy through city decay footage

Temporarily worshipped as a “Data Saint” by underground archivists

Her appearance in multiple corrupted dream sequences suggests shared hallucination or divine recursion

Currently blacklisted by three defunct neural networks for “unquantifiable melancholy”

Collector Notes:

Displaying Memory Kernel has been associated with unprompted memory flashbacks, audio distortions in silent rooms, and the overwhelming urge to wear long coats indoors. Rumoured to cause mild temporal misalignment when viewed between 3:12 and 3:17am.
