She was born on Christmas Day in Dahan system and then spent most of her childhood on Dahan's biggest planet named Smithy's Claim in Nelson Works city. This city was the only one on a planet which had a spaceport, and this was very-likely what influenced the most her's mind and dreams. She lived with her mother and knew her father mostly only from mother's strories; he was pilot of a spaceship and returned to visit his family on Dahan only very rarely. But then thare came an moment in her life, when she found that he did not forget about his family, in fact it was exactly oposite. She was at that time an student of technical university and had there very bad experience with very insistent young man from wealthy and weighted family. On the begining it was just common harassment, but later it have end with a physical attack. It was serious, her left eye was so damaged during that attack that was needed use an cybernetic implant. She didn't know how he could find out so fast, but her father arrived the right next day when she only begam to recover from attack in local hospital. He did not tell her much, but he talked for a very long time with the attending physician. Later in the same day was she moved to the VIP section and doctor there told her, that they have for her from her father an highly sophisticated cybernetic eye implant that was not even normally available on markets and was offered only to wealthiest people. Then, few weeks later, when she was leaving the hospital, she received an message from local Police that they arrested the man which caused her so much pain. Police officer then with a light smile told her that he was not in a good condition at all when they found him. First he was missing for a few days, and then they found him in local hospital with countless broken bones. He never told them what have happened to him.
On her 20th birthday she got an unexpected present. It was medium size box accessible by her fingerprint and containing a light space-suit in black colour and an special access-card which was used for small personal spaceships. Next to card was inside of box a short unsigned message: "Now you can follow your dreams, ... start anytime you will want." It was anomalous, but there was only one person who would give her anything like this. She did not tell her mother, her reaction was easily predictabe. She then needed one whole week, before she decided to visit the spaceport. On the landing-pad marked on the access-card was waiting small Sidewinder type ship. Once she used access card and stepped on board of that ship, she knew that her journey had just begun...
