Lean and Athletic, but still a bit curvy Hair Color: Dark Brown Eye Color: Gray Noticeable Features: Andromeda drew eyes when she was a child, and her beauty has only grown over time. The most striking part of her, is her face. High cheekbones, stubborn chin and a lush mouth, set off by wide gray eyes with a hint of blue to them. She has a mole just above her right eyebrow, but she's been told that it's darling. Her face is expressive and animated, showing emotions quickly and easily. Tall and statuesque she stand eye level with most men. She is active, often running or jumping, practicing various forms of martial arts to keep herself in fighting form. Her killer body is enough to draw men's eyes, what with long legs and a lean waist, but the guns she carries openly have a tendency to bring those eyes to her even more quickly. Her long thick hair, passed down from her mother, is dark and has a lot of body. Often it's left down to hang past her shoulders in slight disarray because she is constantly playing with it. When she's doing business it's pulled back out of her face, and consequently out of easy reach for someone to use against her in case of a fight. Andi has a great many tattoo's over her body, most of them hold personal stories that she doesn't share with people. There are no piercings except for those in her ears, but she loves the ink. She also loves clothing that can show off her tattoos. She likes pants and shirts with no sleeves the best, though if they hit planet side she'll slip into the first comfortable and stylish thing she finds. Already tall she loves slipping on 4 inch heels, towering over those around her with legs that look a mile long. [title]Psyche Evolution[/title] Andromeda is a loving woman who fully believes in tactile comfort and honesty. She touches and enjoys being touched, a pat on the back, a hug or a ruffle of the hair. She also is likely to throw the first punch in a fight. She tries to enjoy everything she does. Whether it be scaring off a bunch of mud grubbing settlers or launching herself at her daughter for a bone crunching hug. She is very open, sharing her opinions and views with anyone who asks, though she doesn't force her view if someone isn't interesting. Men come and go, she enjoys a night of passion whenever she gets the chance, but none of them can hold a candle to her adoration of her daughter. As she says the two of them make quite a family on their own. Though they often include the rest of the crew in their family as well. She is very protective of those under her command, but if she feels they can take care of themselves she let's them fight their own battles. Of course, the kids don't get a choice in that, if there's a fight they are to step aside or Andi will have their hides. She may lose her temper and shout for a moment, but she doesn't hold grudges. A moment of anger could bring her into the middle of a barroom brawl, but by the time the fight was over she'd be laughing and buying the guy that had given her a black eye, a beer. She get's distracted easily and is constantly looking for something to occupy her attention, which can sometimes irritate those that work for her. Still, she's better at details and planning than most people expect and a mind like a steel trap. Above all Andi is a caring woman. She is a Captain and a mother, which comes first depends on who's having the crisis and what the crisis is about. If the kids ask her a question she will tell them the answer, whether their parents think they are old enough or not. Sometimes she'll edit the answer, but she's open about life and love. She's been told it likely stems from a childhood living in a whorehouse, but she doesn't see that in the negative. She learned more about life love and strength from those women by the age of 10 than most people knew by the age of 30. She considers herself and her daughter all the stronger and better for the experience. Andi is constantly teasing and hugging Isis, still upset over having to leave her behind during the war. She adores the girl and encourages her to be who she wants to be. They don't always see eye to eye, but that's normal for a teenager and her mother. Still, they are closer than most mother-daughter duo's in the 'verse. They may have rip-roaring fights between each other, but once the fight is over they don't dwell on it. Lord help anyone who may try to attack one of them, because they will join forces and take him down. As one man once said, Lord help the Man that gets between the Troy women. Andromeda Troy fought in the Independent Forces and was proud to wear the brown coat, these days Andi sits firmly on the side of the Underground Independant Movement. War was a dark and ugly thing, it didn't seem to be so much about honor and bravery as it was about blood and stubborn pride. She understands though that sometimes war is the only option, no matter the heartache it brings to mothers the universe over. She is the type to gladly give her life for those she loves, but she will not give up on her beliefs. Those beliefs tell her that the Alliance is wrong. Still, she's a realist at heart and she knows when to keep her opinions quiet, and when to use them to strike. [title]Personal Records[/title] Vidian Naxxon was 27 when he first met the beautiful Verbenna Troy. She was a maid at one of the infamous cat houses in the Pleasure district of Liann Juin where he had been newly employed to help teach beginners at the flight school. When Verbenna became pregnant and expected him to take care of her, he cut off contact with the 16 year old girl. After all, he had a career to think of. Verbenna took it like most of the girls of that area. She had her child and did what needed to be done to take care of the girl. Andromeda was born in the House of Lilies, one of the better whore houses in the Red District. As a child she was adored by almost all the women there. Her mother, not having been a 'working girl' at the time of conception was one of the few girls with a child. Once she became one of the infamous ladies she used contraception so Andi stayed an only child, spoiled by all the ladies that knew they were never going to have children of their own. Her education was Alliance approved, she went to school every day and learned everything they were trying to stuff into childrens' heads. Later, home at the House of Lilies where she shared a room with her mother, she got an education of a different sort. She learned what men and women liked. She learned about passion and lust, about friendship and envy. Her mother told her about her father, never actually holding it against him that he'd chosen a different path from hers. Andromeda held it against him though, speaking out against him given any opportunity. When she was still rather young Andi took in with the wrong sort of people and she got into trouble speaking out against the alliance and against Unification. She couldn't help it, she'd fallen hard for a young man with a smirk and a wide set of shoulders. Then she got into more trouble. She and her friends defaced public property, hacked into Alliance systems and routed money from the Core into various other funds, one of which being a Browncoat Bank Account. They stole cruisers and went for joyrides. Her final joyride ended in a crash that killed three and left herself and another friend severely injured. One of the three that died had been her best friend. Her boyfriend was wanted for far more than anyone had guessed and was being sent to jail for the next ten years, 6 with good behavior. Andromeda was 17 years old and arrested for destruction of government property. She was not sentenced to any jail time because, as she found out during the routine physical, she was pregnant. After giving birth her mother convinced her to do something different with her life, do something worthwhile. It wasn't hard, Andi wanted to do right by her unborn child. Verbenna contacted Vidian and Andromeda was accepted into the Liann Juin Flight Academy, one of the best in the 'verse. Andromeda was surprised when she took to flying so easily, and so well. She learned quickly and had excellent timing, almost as though the ships were talking to her. She beat Academy records, but for academic work and for her off-hours activities. She was popular with the boys for her looks and her vivacious love of life, and she was popular with the girls for her wicked humor and her obvious love of her daughter and mother. She even got to know her father a little, though she still didn't like the man all that much. Andi joined the browncoats in 2506 when the War for Unification began and her mother agreed to watch Isis for her. It killed her to be away from her 3 year old daughter, but Andi was the top of her flight class and fully believed that the Core did not need anymore power. She and a few other pilots were nicknamed 'Angels' for their skills and their abilities in the pilots chair. The war took care of the chip on her shoulder. She realized that blood and tears were not honorable, nor were they anything she was willing to fight for. 5 years into the war, Andromeda was ordered to retreat from the Battle of Serenity. It broke her heart and she and so many others saw the beginning of the end. Coming back home she had new scars, both physical and mental. She'd learned to shoot first and ask questions later. She was harder, but still less angry. Isis, now 8 years old was the love of Andi's life. She'd had very few chances to stop and visit her daughter, but all of those visits were special. She had sent waves at least once a day, missing her daughter more than she had expected. Andi couldn't support Unification in her heart, but she knew better than to speak out against it out loud. At least not often. Or at least not in the middle of Alliance soldiers. She often played devil's advocate among her friends, reminding them that the Alliance did win the war and they may as well find the benefits that it brought. When people labeled her coward or weak for her defection she didn't stop her fist from flying into their faces. Andromeda listens, watches, and remembers names faces and dates. No one quite expects her to be on the side of the resistance, but they know she was firmly with the browncoats during the war. Andi was hired by the Blue Sun Corporation to pilot various ships on short jaunts for them. She was allowed to bring Isis with her, which was her one stipulation for work. After working for them for one year Andi was given the position of First Mate on her ship. 2 years after that she was offered the position of Captain on another ship. A ship that would be all her own. She snapped it up, moved herself and her daughter and lived there for a year before they offered to sell her the ship, one that would be all hers. Andi jumped at the chance and has never regretted it. Not long after she bought the Tianshi and it was made her very own they were heading out to Urvasi, a backward little dustbowl planet that had rough soil and tougher farmers. They were heading to a far settlement when they picked up a faint emergency signal and decided to check it out. Andi had heard the rumors of such doings, but she'd never seen the work of the infamous Reavers before. The woman gave strict orders to keep Isis on board and away from the outside view cams before she had the crew start splitting into work crews. Though she sent waves out the other settlements refused to come and help clean up. The graves were dug out by the little local cemetery while Andi went through logs and tried to figure out numbers. Not everyone was accounted for. There were about 14 that were missing and so people were set to look for survivors. The first day on Urvasi met with little success. The second day though, the second day brought Andi bittersweet joy. She was the first one that heard the quiet sobbing of a child. At first she thought Isis had come out and seen the bodies they had yet to set to rest. Then she realized it was from out in the field. With a quick snap for everyone to go silent that was instantly obeyed Andi rushed right through the tall stalks of wheat until she found a huddled and miserable blond waif. The child latched onto the tall brunette, bawling her eyes out and shivering from fear or shock. Andi ordered the crew to continue the graves, pressing the child's face into her neck so that she wouldn't see the remains of people who used to be family and friends. First stop Infirmary, second stop Isis for a quick cuddle and to let her know there was another child now on the ship. Her darling girl followed character and rushed straight to the infirmary to comfort the friend she had yet to meet. It was a long while before Netta was considered anything near stable and she was still skittish but Andi had known she was ready to keep the child as soon as she latched herself to the woman. Now she had to girls. Netta wasn't the last one Andi adopted either. Her next was a scrawny young man taking perverse pleasure in pissing off a group of large muscled Purple-bellies at a sketchy pub on U-Day. Something about the blank look on his face and the devil-may-care smile tugged at the woman's heart and though she tried to sit and drink her beer quietly she ended up following the group out to the alley they had dragged the man to. When she showed up he was no longer moving and his breathing was ragged. It took another 10 minutes or so to get rid of the 3 drunk men, and all 3 were limping when they left, and to this day Andi isn't sure how she got Hart to his feet so that she could half drag him back to her ship. Still he was both interesting and useful as well as being a fun playmate in the long dark hours between dirt side stops. Others sometimes take issue with that man but she trusts him and has since she informed him he would be staying on her ship and he'd smirked and said "alright then." Andromeda makes enough money to live well enough with Isis and Netta and still keep the ship in good working order. If anything went totally wrong, both her parents would be willing to help her out. Andi stops by Liann Juin, where her mother now runs the House of Lilies whenever possible, much to the appreciation of her crew. She enjoys spending time with her girls and Riley is quick to offer 'protection' on shopping trips. Really it's because the girl likes pretty things as much as Andi and her daughters.
