Leona Pierce: Difference between revisions

Leona had a strange upbringing. She was raised on Earth in Montreal, Canada, where her mother and father worked at the Cygnian embassy located there. Both her parent are mixed Human/Cygnian breeds which resulted in her being born essentially 1/3rd Human and 2/3rd's Cygnian. Her Human genetic heritage lay mostly in the Korean and French bloodlines. Leona was born with Human features like Dark Brown hair and 'regular' eye's, but like her Cygnian peers, she is a rather slender girl and has a mouselike tail -which she often kept hidden in her pants until she joined Starfleet.

 

She was raised in a manner that promoted a female dominant atmosphere, but not as strong as had she been raised on Cygnet XIV. She has always been a hot-headed girl and she rebelled against her mother and fathers life and rules by dressing and acting like a tomboy against their wishes. Her family was not so strict that she needed to rebel through and the phase faded fast with her teenage angst starting around the age of sixteen. Her tomboy like personality was there to stay in many ways still, however, like in her hair and clothing choices, and her attitude when not around her parents or the important people her parents worked with.

 

Leona joined a private police recruitment program when she turned eighteen. She graduated quickly. She was an excellent police officer and she is proficient with armored vehicles and has urban combat training. Leona was assigned to the Tank Patrol Squad on Gridir, a colony world with no law enforcement of its own. She was the only woman on active duty in the TPS, which has earned a reputation for knuckle-dragging misogyny. She served as an officer for two years as a combat engineer until the age of twenty when she resigned on good terms and joined Starfleet Academy. Leona used the scraps from a Tiger tank and a Wasp shuttle to build her own fighter shuttle, which she named Bijou. This quirky vehicle suit's her perfectly.  

She’s a trigger happy nut with a gun and/or a vehicle. She loves all sorts of mecha and machinery (a classic or unique bike can certainly distract her), but her true love is her own shuttle-tank, Bijou. She also has a motorcycle collection at her house in Montreal. Her devotion to her shuttle-tank is obsessive, excessive, even erotic in its intensity. People wonder if she’s sane about it. Even scratching her shuttle-tank will throw Leona into a fury. This is in part a result of a particularly influencing sermon she received from her squad superior after wrecking her first Tiger tank, as he yelled that only men were able to truly *love* tanks and she would never understand. Leona hates sexist's and immediately devoted herself to proving him wrong any chance she got. Leona is hot-headed, impulsive, and has a short temper. She’s quick on the trigger and almost always applies too much firepower to any situation. Leona was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, which isn’t the usual case among the TPS who usually are recruited from America.  

Leona is a skinny but fit and muscularly toned woman.
