Backstory
Katy was born in the third generation of the Orman Group, a line marriage based on Ganymede whose members are also a think-tank/research group on artificial intelligence and its related fields. She was educated at home by her whole (very large) family and their close associates, and she was an avid learner. As a result, she gained a great depth and breadth of knowledge quite young. Perhaps ironically, the person Katy ended up gravitating to the most was not an 'official' part of the family at all, but an associate who lived in the complex throughout most of her childhood and early teens. She called him her uncle, and from him she learned skills more martial and esoteric than she had learned from her 'real' family. By the age of 16, she had long decided that she was not going to take up the family busines, she met Danni and Jean-Pierre Miles, a young couple who were vacationing in Paris at the same time as she. There was a lightning romance not uncommon for people of that age, and Katy shipped out of Ganymede for Proxima colony, where the couple lived. Life was not easy for her on Proxima. The colony was not cosmopolitan at all, made up of only humans, and Katy's skin tone and highlights made her stand out there. Some thought her exotic; most just found her to be 'different'. Throughout it all, she got correspondence from her 'uncle', telling her about the joys and tragedies of his life in Starfleet. Eventually, however, one of the tragedies was too great and she got a final farewell. Katy stayed on Proxima for nearly 5 years, but was never able to really feel at home there. The relationship with the Miles's had long since failed, and in 2380 she decided she no longer had any reason to stay. There wasn't even any question in her mind of where to go from there. She took the first ship to Earth and enrolled in Starfleet Academy. In the Academy Katy at last felt on track. Having found the entrance exam to be non-challenging, she was pleased to encounter a great many classes that stretched her mental and physical abilities to the limit, and indeed made her find new limits beyond those. There was a welcoming multicultural aspect as well, which she found very pleasing. Most of all, she was bouyed by the sense of purpose that she found in all of her fellow serious students. It was, put simply, ideal. She finished her classes with high grades in most subjects (a few, like piloting and navigation, she never did get the hang of and just managed a passing grade there), and it was with a nervous anticipation that she boarded the ship for SB118 for her cadet training mission.
