Owl is a good one as far as deckers are concerned. No ego-problem, eager to help the rest of her team, keeps to herself. Now you don't want her front-and-centre, she's not made for that. But when you let her stay behind and watch your back, she'll prove worthy of her cut.
Now granted, I am biased, on account of her helping out with the Helix every now and then. But given how her introverted nature has Johnsons and Janssens look down on her and tank her rating here, I only feel it's right I present some bias in the opposite direction. Anyone have a problem with that, my ban-list is always open.

There's some deckers out there that are all in it for the adrenaline. Go out, hack Hosts, sling code, take down IC, suppress alarms. If you want one of those, go hire one. If you want an old-school decker-in-a-van, hire Owl instead. She doesn't go with the team, focusing on her strengths as a decker instead. Owl is the kind of decker you hide when you care about subtlety.
Don't let her Helix Rep fool you. Her fellow runners love her. However, there's multiple Johnsons that mistreated her and found themselves with an angry team, then review-bombed her. Since we don't censor that, her rating is poorer than it ought to be.
An identifying characteristic is that she uses a lot of Agents and other software to help her. She also has her own custom Agents written up to help riggers, run a surveillance network, warn the street sam they're about to encounter security, and so on. You name it, she has an app for it. This effectively lets her multi-task to the point where she can personally support her entire team.
Testimonials
She might be quiet, but she gets shit done. I love running with her, but don't tell her that.— Rook
A rude glitch who wouldn't even look me in the eye. Gods forbid she has to actually attend a meeting, the unmannered trash.— A Frau Schmidt (account banned)
