| Personal History | Samantha Walking Bear was born in 2356 on the world of Alpha Centauri IV. A world rich in water and beaches, she grew up loving to swim in the seas and since the planet was warm from pole to pole, she didn't need to wear a lot either so she grew up wearing very little in terms of clothing, her mindset reflects this mentality. Walking Bear was always a practical woman as she joined the swim team in high school while she matured from a gawky child to a confidant and extremely good looking young woman. She and her team won two championships while she was in school but she was ultimately a pilot as she joined a flying club where she could hone her skills. She discovered almost by accident that she had flying talents around eight years old and over time until she developed her skills, she loved it but she also craved more and when she graduated high school. she instantly set an application to go to the academy. it was accepted and off she went to Earth where she not only encountered issues with men, she also encountered issues with the cold for the first time too. Walking Bear had been raised on a planet that was a good deal warmer then Earth was and it also was closer to its host star, so the sky's were brighter. Walking Bear went to the Academy in 2374 and she would become an engineer. She worked her way through the schoolwork she would encounter, thinking that if she worked hard enough. Walking Bear could become another Scott or LaForge. To add to her already considerable workload. Walking Bear resumed taking her martial arts classes as she needed an expressive creative outlet. What added rocket fuel to a burning building was that there was a stalker who was hunting the young ladies of the academy. Walking Bear wanted to be able to protect herself if and when the time came. What she didn't expect was that she was the next to be hunted but when the stalker made his move. Walking Bear dealt with him, restoring peace and bringing back a sense of order to the academy. Walking Bear graduated in 2378 and was assigned to the USS F. Scott Fitzgerald as one of their Operations officers. Walking Bear learned a great deal about how Operations and Engineering both worked and what didn't work. It was here that Walking Bear would meet a young Bolian woman named Siaxx Dvald-Vaxx. The two became drinking buddies but before long, their relationship became a physical one with the two ending up spending time in bed together, before the relationship became sexual as well. Walking Bear and Dvald would share a great many things including the man that would become Dvald's future husband. Chen Vaxx never once objected to the relationship dynamic between the two women, bedding both and either on many occasions. Chen and Siaxx were wed a few months later but Walking Bear opted to not marry either, even though she was a part of their family but she could not carry the children she knew that Siaxx and Chen wished for. Over time, however, Chen would grace Siaxx with eventually six children over the years. Walking Bear would move onto another assignment as the assistant chief engineer, where she learned a great deal of leadership and how to lead a department and in 2387, she was requested by her old girlfriend. Siaxx Dvald-Vaxx to come over to the USS Valorous to serve as her chief engineer. Walking Bear accepted and off she went. Walking Bear and Dvald-Vaxx resumed their relationship being more subtle than before. Walking Bear spent most of her free time babysitting Dvald-Vaxx's children and when the issue rose up in late 2389. Walking Bear took care of Chen Vaxx, keeping him out of the matter and making sure that Siaxx's children were not involved. What didn't help was that Vaxx was reassigned and Dvald-Vaxx was demoted and reassigned. The command of the USS Valorous was offered to Walking Bear as the Executive officer felt he needed to resign in protest. Walking Bear likewise refused for the same reasons and she also demanded reassignment to Starbase 45. This was granted as Walking Bear was sent there to become their new Executive Officer. It was here that Walking Bear learned a great deal about serving as a commanding officer in her own right. The lessons she learned on the USS Valorous and on Starbase 45 serving her in excellent stead. In late 2393. Walking Bear was offered a promotion to Captain and her own command. The USS Fearless. A brand new Guardian class starship undergoing final trials at Starbase Vanguard. Walking Bear accepted the assignment and the promotion to Captain. |
