| General Overview | Jennifer Pravdin is mostly a cheerful young woman who has much going for her, she is easy to get along with and easy to please. She does carry her emotions on her sleeve and isn't subtle about things whatsoever on any levels at all. When needed, she has no trouble stepping up to the plate and has an excellent work ethic which means she's mentally flexible. Her organization level is average but her skillset in her present job is truly peerless. Jennifer is a martial arts master. This is something she takes great pride in as she has earned the status of first dan in four styles. Okinawan Kung-Fu, Japanese Karate. Japanese Judo and Wushu. She is truly a monument to the art of war. However. It should be noted that once angered. Pravdin becomes unreasonable and argumentative, she can lose emotional and mental control in a very explosive fashion. This almost always ends poorly for all concerned. Also, it is NEVER wise to threaten children in her presence. Especally her children. It WILL end BADLY. |

| Personal History | Jennifer Walking Bear was born in 2361 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. 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 was able to defend herself and others by taking on one of the school bullies in her grade, she dealt with him when he was picking on another. Jennifer was enrolled in martial arts as a result of this encounter. She loved it but she also craved more and when she graduated high school. Walking Bear 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. Much like her sisters who would all face this same problem. 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 2379 and she would graduate in 2383. Walking Bear found that she prefered the company of men specifically rather than be bisexual like many of her siblings. Women did not impress her in the least but it was a conversation with her younger sister Kalliope who encouraged her to see where this idea lead if she wasn't happy with men then she should pursue what made her happy. Duty was there to have, and joy was worth fighting for. Very quickly. Walking Bear met a fellow male cadet while the two were working out in the swimming pool together. Their relationship started there and developed slowly. Within a year, she was married and with two children on the way. Her marriage was a source of great strength for her. Walking Bear would graduate from the academy before heading off to her first assignment. The USS Kingston. An older Ambassador class starship on her final tour before her decommissioning. Her starfleet service would see her travel across several assignments before she reached the one she truly wanted. This was where her husband was killed while dealing with several pirate vessels. In her grief and rage. Pravdin gave the pirates no quarter as she slaughtered them all. The Captain of the USS Guam called it a good result and failed to note any kind of disciplinary against Pravdin. Three months later, Pravdin was informed she was being promoted to become Executive officer on the newly commissioned USS Yarra, her assignment took effect immediately so she left the USS Guam with her two teenaged children. |
