Jae

Name: Jae Miriel Silverbeak

Sex: Female

Age: 14 (arrives late 2328)

Rank: Presaber

Appearance: A Nijhro/Mayalan half-caste, 5' tall, still has a childish build, only noticeable because she's still pretty flat. Tannish-brown feathers (a little darker than Calista's), a short beak like Mal, deep aqua eyes (the same shape as Tzipporah's on "The Prince of Egypt"), thick eyebrows, neck-length almost curly black hair that sticks out like she had a bad perm or something.

Attire: Cargo pants with tie-dyed Ts or dark long-sleeved crewnecks with a white collared shirt over, or a royal blue flight jumpsuit with "Sterling" embroidered in cursive on the back with silver thread. Has a black utility belt for her weapons, and black hiking boots. Her dobok (uniform) is white with a black collar, and she rolls up the sleeves, and then she wears a white headband.

Weaponry: She's been training in the Martial arts since she was five, and is currently a black stripe. Has quickly become a crack shot, and is wielding her practice saber quite well. Generally carries a pucklauncher and three to five puck grenades at all times. But more often than not, her most dangerous weapon is unbleached, all-purpose, self-rising... flour!

Accent: Remaican (American).

Personality: Very self-confident, good at shoulder rubs, and a born storyteller. She's very mature for her age, she's had to be, but deep inside she wishes she could just be a little kid again. Of all the Brotherhood members, BJ Stormglider has taken the largest portion of the "mothering" burden, though Calista is her trainer. Jae has a huge crush on Jedar, but she'll never admit it to anybody. She likes a cappella groups, and is quite a good vocal percussionist.

History: [condensed and subject to change] Born to Robert and Sasha Silverbeak, has one older brother, Nicholas. Hunter drones stormed their house when Dragaunus hit, killing her parents, taking Nicho to the work camps, and leaving her stunned in the ruins of her home. A middle-aged drake took her in and nursed her back to health. His name was Fagin, and he'd started his own little crime ring, mostly children. He added Jae to his collection of urchins, who would pickpocket, keeping the money and pawning the rest (yes, you can say Oliver Twist). It was here that Jae's talent became apparent: not theiving, but rather tracking. "The Shadow," Fagin called her. It didn't take long for Jae to perfect her shadowing skills, and that made the pickpocketing immeasurably easier. One of her subjects was Calista Arcarya. The girl had seen Calista several times, and took a fascination with her striking appearance and Mayalan air. She shadowed Calista over several months, but when she tried to rob her, she messed up somehow. To this day, Jae is still not sure what she did wrong, but says that "I think part of me wanted her to catch me, you know?" Cali pursued Jae to their hideout, stormed in, but demanded no more than the girl, who had defended herself admirably. She brought Jae to the Brotherhood and took her as an apprentice.

Likes: A cappella pop groups, BJ, Calista, Jedar, assisting those in need, rock climbing, telling tall tales.

Overheard:
"Jeez, take a chill pill!"

"Excuse me, are you having problems?"

"Dalin, nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission."

"Doom-HAP-mm-dika-DOOM-pa-DOOMdoom-DIKkety-doom-DIKkety-doom-DIKKA-dakka-DIKKA-dakka-FFT-tik-om-Pssshhhhhhhhhhh... bi-DAP!"

Anon: "What's vocal percussion?"
Jae: "It's when you spit for a living."

Said of her:
(Silenced) [written] "That's it, I'm hiring that girl as my masseuse! Not everyone can reach those janitor knots."

(Rio) "I swear, the kid's got a microscopic drum set in her voice box, or somethin'!"

(Jedar) "First mayonnaise, then flour... sauerkraut'll be next, I can feel it!"

Other: Nicknames - Sterling (from her brother and the most commonly used), Spitz (used exclusively by Rio).
Jae's brother, Nicholas, eventually escaped from the work camps, but he turned bad, becoming the drug lord known as D'mitri. Jae knows nothing of this. If she lived on Earth, her favorite musical group would definitely be Rockapella.
