Who is Shayla Nico in Mr. Robot?

The neighbor with the fish and the bad supplier · Allsafe & Civilians

Shayla Nico (The neighbor with the fish and the bad supplier) is a character in Mr. Robot, part of Allsafe & Civilians. Shayla lives downstairs from Elliot, sells him his morphine, keeps a betta fish named Qwerty, and would like — gently, without pressure — to be more than the dealer next door. She's warmth in a series allergic to it: messy, kind, halfway to a real relationship with a man who hacks everyone he likes. Her supplier, Vera, is another matter entirely — a violent mystic with a prison sentence pending and Shayla's name in his ledger, which makes her safety one more thing routed through Elliot's choices.
