Weaknesses: If it comes down to it, she has no troubles using up to and including lethal force to protect others, like other members of her family, she has extensive martial arts training and has no issues with questionable orders. Also, she can become distracted when discussing weapons, especially blades. Also she feels she has to prove herself to his family which can cause her problems.

| Personal History | Born 2350 on the Danube colony, this world was rich in life and generally unspoiled by conflict, her parents were civilian explorers and they went out for weeks at a time and little Bronwyn went with them and when they came, along with her two siblings as her parents loved the great outdoors. At times it got scary but they always managed to make it back to civilization somehow. They instilled into Bronwynn the value of looking after her equipment and her clothing and that was something that she instilled into her own children. When she came of age, she applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Academy on Earth. The planet was a culture shock for her as she was used to a lot of wide open spaces but Earth was as she put it 'an overcrowded and overused hellhole of a world.' She was nineteen when she went in as she wanted to spend a year acquiring experiences as she went so she worked odd jobs like waiting tables and working as a bouncer. She went off to the academy and not even a year into it she met a man who would become her husband and father to her children. The two of them met when Daniel Yamaguchi found himself being dragged into an incident to help round up a few dozen drunk marines that had gotten out of the shore patrol base and were on the lam from the long arm of the law. He had assumed it would be simple but he was gravely mistaken when he found himself squaring off against a half dozen of them but rather than get into a fight, he was able to calmly and rationally talk them down. No mess or fuss later the six willingly surrendered themselves as James explained what happened and he requested that the six be treated leniently as they didn't cause issues or him any harm. This request was granted, however, he was able to win the greatest prize later on by impressing Bronwyn with his wit and intellect rather than using a phaser to shoot the Marines. What he did was simple, he simply proved to the Marines that he was trustworthy. Bronwyn found herself getting involved with the exotic looking Human guy and two months after this there was another incident which caused the two to have to fight against a half dozen people to escape from a rather ugly bar brawl where a half dozen people were sent to the Academy infirmary. Bronwyn was still more betazoid then human as she realized that she had come to like being around James as he brought out the best in her and rather than act like a teenager as was usual with most human men around a good looking female. James, however, was acting more like a man, thoughtful and caring, respectful and patient. She decided that she needed to teach him a few things about her and while this was a deeply intimate act that the two shared, he still refused to bed her as she had been expecting. His reason was simple. "I don't want to rush in and ruin our relationship. I'd like it to grow over time like a fine aged wine and not like beer..." Bronwyn could not argue with his logic. The two spent more time together and he bedded her about eight months after they met, it was not rushed and they were gentle with each other. This was a surprise for her as she had been expecting him to turn into an enraged beast who wanted it and wanted it right now!. He surprised her by being gentle with her. A year later, a few months before graduation, along came Jessica, their eldest and within four years came to Joseph and Patricia followed by Jaden. Her first assignment in the fleet was a posting to Starbase 375 and here she earned her stripes so to speak as she was tireless in her work, always going out of her way for extra work and proving that she was not your average butterbar. As time went by she showcased her skill-sets again and again and again. Dealing with pirates and the odd enemy leftovers from the war. Her next assignment was the USS Bucking Horse and had she known what was coming, she would have remained aboard and so would her husband but they didn't and while they severed well here, the crew was broken up and reassigned after the ship was taken to the breakers yards and scrapped. Bronwyn was offered a posting to the new USS Bucking Horse but she refused and instead requested assignment to a larger and newer ship of the line, somewhere where she felt he could make a bigger difference, her request was sound and both she and James were sent off along with their children to the USS Hercules. One of the Galaxy Class Dreadnought of ships, the Hercules was extremely powerful and her skipper had no problem making sure that he for anti-piracy duties as Captain Richard Plantagenet was a solder first and not as he say it 'a weak-willed explorer. I hath come to slayeth thine enemies and thy shall destroy them with thee" Richard Plantagenet was a hard taskmaster and it was he who instilled in Bronwyn what a solders job really was. "To protect the weak, even until death, to see to the needs of the Federation as well as many of the other jobs a soldier needed to know. The Hercules and her crew were able to cull down three pirate bands until they were all but exterminated and cripple two more, to the point where they united for one last attack then they went for the Hercules. This was a mistake as the Hercules and her crew destroyed all of their ships one at a time. Captain Plantagenet offered them fair and honest terms but word had gotten out that he never kept his word and so he was forced to destroy every single ship that attacked his ship. A year later, Bronwynn was offered a promotion to Commander and a chance to be the Marine Commanding Officer on the newly commissioned USS Colossus, it was a chance he did not refuse and so she bid farewell to Captain Plantagenet and her crew. Plantagenet said that he would be welcome back anytime and the two parted on good terms which were not what Bronwynn was expecting. Her service on the USS Colossus was inspirational as she had found an assignment where she could be her own boss and she only answered to the 'Ball and Chain' which was the private nickname for the Exec that she shared with her husband and the 'Shipdriver' which was also her nickname for the skipper. When Captain Jessica Chesmin found out, she simply laughed and said that it was the most amusing thing she'd heard all day and left it at that, she added that her husband also said the same thing too. She remained on the Colossus for four years and by all accounts, she was happy here until Admiral Alynna Nechayev went to Captain Chesmin. She demanded the Captain give up her Chief Engineer and her Marine Commander for another ship which had more need of both, naturally Chesmin protested and so did James, Bronwyn was angry too as she found this treatment to be highly insulting but Chesmin's protests fell on deaf ears and off went two of her best officers along with their children Captain Steven 'Zot' Unverzagt welcomed them both aboard but the meeting was not a happy one as Bronwyn let it be known that she too felt cheated and that if 'Zot wasn't Nechayev's man, then she would put him to the sword. James simply said that he felt insulted by this treatment and he wasn't happy. Zot was somewhat intimidated by this until he reminded her that she was to simply 'shut your face and do as you are told'. It didn't make for a pleasant conversation and both James and Bronwyn both stuck in over a dozen requests for transfer that first year in 2389. All were refused and it led to a poisoned relationship between the Captain on one side and the Chief Engineer and Marine CO on the other. After six months, it began to take hold on the others of the senior staff that this was not a happy crew as things only began to get worse. James and Bronwyn both had heard his stories as he very nearly glassed Andoria from orbit as he had fired upon a civilian ship illegally inside Andoria's atmosphere, causing its warp core to detonate in a truly massive explosion and had it not been for the Aventine using her tractor beat almost at the last minute, it would have caused far bigger fireball then a two hundred megaton blast which it what did happen. Also adding to the fact that Nechayev circumvented the rules and procedures in the transfer of officers and you get a recipe for disaster. Once Nechayev was arrested and removed from command. This only sparked the fires of rebellion which have burned ever hotter in James as he and Zot openly hate one another, his wife hated Zot too and both don't care who knew it, but he went around Zot's head to the next guy in the chain with a transfer request and an explanation as to why this situation has arisen in the first place. In August of 2392, her request was granted and she and her husband were reassigned from the USS Ardent Prayer to Starbase 12 who was in need of a new Marine Commander. James went with her as the bases new Chief Engineering Officer, less than six months later, the two of them were reassigned to the USS Shinano, with their family with them. |
