[no points, but being played:] Keeping her Kylaran origins "low-profile," for reasons of her own . . . .

Background:

Born on Kylara station to a warrior/pacifist couple
Parents and fraternal twin sibling were killed in transport accident
Fostered by human couple for six years as action report went through bureaucracy
When repatriated to Kylara by government action, they assumed she was the warrior girl and gave her training appropos
At 19, signed on with outgoing Kylaran merc company
Refused to attack when Thral saboteurs cornered in crater on Byte (1)
Resigned commission and stranded on New Garavar
Currently stranded and hoping for human or mixed crew ship (2)

(1) The ship had just shot down an extremist Thral ship attempting sabotage, stranding the survivors on the planet. The Kylaran commander wanted to make an example of the Thrals with heavy disruptors; she argued for heavy stun cannons or negotiate for their surrender.

(2) She is advertising in Jobs as an able spacer, skilled in machinery and electronics and computers, also able to provide scientific expertise on planetology and biological studies. She does not mention being Kylaran or trained in hand-to-hand combat. She is _not_ advertising as a theater person, but she does look over the jobs-offered section in that area.

Description:

Hair: black, long, bound behind into ponytail with butterfly clip, highlights of brown under bright lights
Eyes: varying proportions of brown and gold increasingly gold when concentrating or using "powers"
Skin: tanned gold
Build: five feet six, 110lbs, lithe and mostly legs
Outfit: one-piece jumpsuits plus decorative shirts and skirts favors embroidered and colorful patterns, silks and velvets often decorates with ribbons and scarves and jewelry Kylaran ID bracelet on left wrist, under fabric
Other: family/clan tattoo on back, line drawing wristlet with transponder; she wears opaque blouses to keep her tattoo from open view
Age: 20, looks 16 (a source of some frustration)
Manner: quick, chatterbox, inquisitive and eager to learn catlike dexterity and agility, often ballet moves

Miscellaneous:

Called "Cat" because she moves like one
Earning a reputation as a bit fey (even if undeserved)
No lover (as yet)
Making friends only slowly because of her unusedness to human world cultures and social doings
Thinks of herself as an 'improved' pacifist, kind of a hybrid because of her heritage and human influence; she isn't afraid to take action but believes in the sanctity of life.
Overall objective to develop her potential-- if you assume that the average Kylaran wants to become Masterclass at one thing, she wants to Masterclass in life. Dancing takes high place.

Quotes:

"Oh, no, that would _hurt_ him, and we just couldn't do that . . . Why don't we just tie him up and tell him we're going to make him watch public holovision?"
"Between the fire-aphids and the tourmaline roaches, I'd say that the next generation of crops is going to get eaten down in about six days flat. (pause) Plant bananas, they're yellow. Maybe the color contrast will kill them."
