Hm, I can see it now but it hurts to look at the top left of her head a bit for me, like the colors aren't working with each other well.
Thinking on it, the matrix background was probably a better choice overall for readability now that I'm seeing it without that texture and outline, though perhaps a solid tweak to that original idea would be a solid amber background with strings of matrix text slapped around the edges in chunks so you don't need the outline as much
