| Personal History | Jiao is from Cestus Three so she grew up with the pioneering spirit and outdoors style of life that she found she preferred. She got married early and had two children before enlisting in Starfleet. Kimora and Sian are a serious handful but her marriage fell apart while she was off on her first assignment, mostly because of the threat of war but mostly because Jiao didn't want to become a stay at home mom who would be little more then a baby making machine and little else. Her husband wanted her to take a ground based assignment where she wanted to get out and see the stars. He wasn't interested in her point of view as he saw women as little more then objects. He was considered by many to be a throwback to a far more primitive time, and others thought He divorced her and went home, not wanting to sue for custody of their children because they were a mistake in his eyes. Jiao went off to war along with millions of others when the Dominion invaded and while she did well fighting on the front lines, she came back with a few scars and a lot of stories to tell, between a lot of battles, a few ships and their crews. When the war ended, she took her children back from her parents who were looking after them, she raised them on whatever assignment she was on. Jiao went through several assignments before meeting Commander Torilla Yamaguchi when they were both assigned to Starbase 45. Jiao Anderson was offered a commission because of courage under fire while assigned to the USS America while they were dealing with the effects of Hobus and its aftermath, she was given the rank of Lieutenant JG for her time as enlisted. She followed Torilla Yamaguchi over to Starbase 400 but like her friend, she was demoted because of the large bar brawl in which Bremer was covering for his Klingon buddies who inflicted the vast mnajority of the casulties in that brawl. Jiao was busted back to Ensign from Lieutenant because of the fact that Bremer needed scapegoats and since she was new, she made a good target as she could do nothing about it before she finaly got sick of it after six months, she requested a transfer and went over to the USS Roanoke. After several months Jiao was promoted to Chief operations officer but in April she was demoted back to Quartermaster. However her rank of Lieutenant JG was restored to her. On some levels, Jiao feels resentment towards Rykar for it but on another, she is happy about the less amount of work she has to do in a given day. Her main issue is that she doesn't know Rykar but she got several quick surprises in rapid succession. The first was a tribble outbreak in which both her daughters were able to secure a tribble each for themselves as pets while Jiao simply explained the proper caring and feeding of such animals. The second was the life support issue which caused half the crew to be evacuated over to the USS Dreamcrusher. Jiao simply went over to the Dreamcrusher with her children rather then remain on the USS Roanoke. One surprise she got was when Commander Ra'Vak was being tormented during the evacuation of the none essential personnel and now she's begun giving Rykar more space to work with and more time to get to know her. The final surprise was the hangar deck fire which found her assisting with repairs in Engineering and Operations. While her skills helped immensely, it didn't keep her from being unable to save the Roanoke from crippling damage. After careful consideration, Jiao considered sticking in for reassignment as she was honestly sick and tired of serving on this flying circus, it didn't help that she was still not getting along with her new superior officer whom Jiao considered downright anti-social and just hard to deal with so when she heard that Janel Moi had been promoted. Torilla requested that Jiao replace her as Chief Operations Officer and Jiao accepted, packing her bags and her children off to her new assignment. The USS Courageous. Three months later her beau joined her as Chief of Security. Now she and Lieutenant Smithson will need to work together to resolve the lasting effects of the Pineapple Incident. That being that Jiao ended up with an unwanted pregnancy, however, thanks to the efforts of Garry Smithson, she kept the baby which ended up becoming her son. She and Smithson are now settling into a relationship so they can raise their child together, things have only improved since being reunited on the USS Grey Wolf. Smithson ended up proposing to Jiao, a woman who was over a dozen years older them he himself was, but this did not stop him in the slightest and it showed her two teenaged daughters that he was indeed serious about their growing family. Sian was the first to see reason in regards to Smithson and she accepted him after he made an effort to get to know her and her sibling as people and not as their step-father, he refused to even consider himself as responsible for them, he instead said that he would be there for him should they wish it and he also decided to let them adjust. Sian appreciated his respect and within several months, she and Kimora both came around, at about the same time, Jiao gave birth to Jonathan and Kimora had her child with Sian following a week later with her own child. Jiao and Garry are raising all four children under her care. Jiao does not care that three of these children are her children's children, her grandchildren, this little detail does not bother her, nor does it bother Smithson either. In June of 2393, Jiao was contacted and informed the actions taken against her service record, namely the illegal demotion was removed so she is able to resume her career without worry from the fallout. |
