| Personal History | Saki was born during the first winter of the exile of Commander Teval and his company on an unnamed planet which became nicknamed Yeneer G8. Her date of birth is listed as March 21st on the Terran calendar. The year of her birth is 2391 but she lost eight years because of the temporal anomaly which aged her eight years in two months. The lands which she grew up in were places which were varied in temperature and environment from desert to mountainous, the only environment she did not see was arctic or tundra. Saki learned tracking and hunting from Teval and Hakaya, she also learned how to read and write from Siaxx and her mother, she also learned how to use a bow with arrows in her time at home. Over time she learned how to fight from her mother who was also teaching Siaxx at the same time. Also, she learned many customs including Bolian, Kurokuri, and Halanan as well as human. She grew to love the wild spaces of the world she knew as 'Auir', when there were a breeze and noise from the wildlife, all was well but she grew to listen to everything and when things went quiet, she would stop as well as it usually indicated that a predator was nearby. Since coming aboard the Roanoke with her mother, she has some serious issues integrating into life on the ship as its quiet so she is in a state of near-constant fear, adding to that she has issues meeting new people and a new place where she is being told that she can't go anywhere or do anything. She has found herself missing the place she called home. Calling Saki Yamaguchi-Cullen, a fish out of water is a very serious understatement. She ended up being scared out of her mind due to an accident with a Brikar named Varkon, she fled through the ships Jeffrey's tubes before getting lost and ending up in the skipper ready room, this incident put her square on Zara Tane's radar. Unfortunately, Saki has become something of a thief, being able to lift other people's replicator rations and knives without their looking, all of her efforts was to simply get through a day in the local cesspool of a school which her efforts of course came to nought as Ensign Elizabeth Yamaguchi along with Colonel Jillian Sullivan uncovered the real story and in the ensuing melee, Elizabeth was assaulted by one of the kids who hit her with a baseball bat. This started a chain of events that would take months to sort out and time and distance were of little help. Saki went over and strangled the boy to within an inch of his life, she also beat the ever-living daylights out of three others who were beating on her friend, Sarah Cullen. The child who would later become her sibling, thanks to Rachael's mother dating Sarah's father. Lieutenant Bernice Gyce pulled Saki out of school with her mother's blessing. Saki along with a few others was homeschooled for several months while the ships school system was cleaned out and new teachers were hired. To add to Saki's misery, most of her family were displeased with her for various reasons but mostly because she didn't tell them outright what was going on. Saki also missed her mother whom she was very close to as Rachael was off with her boot camp work. It was the first major separation between mother and child. Saki had since grown close to Ennis Cullen and Bernice Gyce as a result of this. It also helped that she developed a friendship with Sarah Cullen separately to her mother's own relationship with Ennis. Since her mother left for warrant school, Saki had been settling into life aboard the Tranquility and had become a much happier child as a result. Saki was more or less accepted and she had an easier time of settling in. However more recently, both of Saki's parents went off to war and her home was lost in the battle over Goranar. Saki had to adjust to more changes and before long both parents were assigned to Starbase Vanguard in various assignments. Saki and her siblings went along with them. Saki spent time living with both her parents on the Ournal III Class Starbase designated as Vanguard, however, she and her family live on the planet Utgarde Four, rather than on the base itself. While Ennis Cullen might not be her biological father but to all involved, he is Saki fathers and this is the end of it. Ennis Cullen was offered an assignment as Chief medical officer of the USS Heart of the Tiger and Saki, along with all of the other children in her household went with him, her other was forced to remain behind, due to the demands of her assignment and work, there was simply no posting for her to go to, so Saki is now learning to live life without her mother present. Saki resumed her attention in the martial arts, according to Ennis. "She loves the martial sciences. Some day the lass will be protectin' others." What does not help is that she's also missing her friend. Ma'haat Dvald-Vaxx too. Its been challenging for her to process all of this in one go but she's trying her best. Several months later. Rachael was awarded her rightful rank and her awards due to her heroics over Goranar. She was also offered the posting as Chief of Conn on the USS Heart of the Tiger, reuniting Saki's parents under one roof. |
