Personal History		Adora was born in San Francisco when her parents were there on vacation. She spent most of her life on San Francisco around the different marines that her parents trained with. She had enjoyed it so much that she made a dream of hers to become a marine. When she was accepted to Starfleet Academy, she pursued Security and Tactical measures, knowing the courses would come in handy for when she progressed on to Marine Corp training. Her parents were very proud of her and glad that she was going to continue in their footsteps. Her grandmother, however, was not too happy with her decision but grew to approve of it eventually. When she finally completed her studies, she graduated 20th in her class. Adora was, of course, unhappy with that, but she dealt with it. She knew that she was going on to Starfleet Marine Corp and that was that. When Adora began her Marine Corps Basic Training, she realized it was far more complicated then she had initially thought. Regardless, she was not going to let it get to her. She went through the training giving it her all. Her drill instructors were all impressed with her and how much she put her all into everything that she was doing. She graduated from the Marine Corp first in her class regardless of the adversity she had faced in her studies. Adora was immediately posted to the USS Darksun. She was assigned as a Security Officer since they didn't carry a Marine detachment. Unfazed by her desires to be a Marine being put on hold temporarily, she remained content. She was that much closer to attaining her goals. She knew that she had the training, but she didn't really want to be in a Marine detachment so soon after graduation. Adora spent the following year on the Darksun serving Captain RW Thomas faithfully. She never got involved with anyone, keeping mainly to herself throughout her tour. Upon the end of her tour though, she put in for a transfer to a more stable locale. Deep Space Nine became her next home. Adora was not overly impressed with that. She didn't want to be anywhere near the Cardassians or get involved in various disputes with them. Realizing her duty record included Marine training, it made sense she would be transferred so close to the Cardassian border. The Dominion war had depleted the ranks, and many officers lacked the mental attitudes required for the rigors of war. She was assigned to the bases security detachment under the command of Commander Jefferson Blackmer. Adora's tour here was mostly uneventful aside from several large brawls where she and several others had to break up Cardassians fighting with Klingons and Bajorans on the base. The issues got so bad that Captain Ro banned all Cardassians from the base, period unless they were on official business. Adora decided it was time to put her Marine training to rest and just focus on her Security background. She was tired of her talents not really being used. So she decided to for the lesser of the two evils.
