The Brena
Emelie Shadowstar was born on the merchant CR90 Brena, a ship named by her father, Vincent "Vinnie" Shadowstar, for her Mother, Brena Shadowstar. As a young child Emelie was allowed to roam around her parent's ship, toddling about fairly unsupervised as soon as she was able to walk. She was known to be a fairly happy young girl who became almost a collective daughter to the crew of the Brena as well as to various others in the merchants guild her parents belonged to.
When Emelie was five years old the Brena was attacked by a group of space pirates that left the ship crippled and the entire crew slaughtered. Brena Shadowstar, in an attempt to save her daughter's life, shoved the young girl into a locker where the young girl couldn't help but witness the brutal murders of both parents. She was found two days later by the members of the merchant's guild, clinging to her mother's corpse.
Kalresh Asylum for Troubled Youths
Seemingly suffering from the trauma of witnessing her parent's murder, Emelie was taken to the Kalresh Asylum for Troubled Youths on Elerion. Mute from the moment she had been found on her parent's ship, and completely stoic for the first few years of her being a ward at the Asylum, she went without much notice by both the other patients as well as the psychiatrists that were attached to her case. Finding they weren't getting much in the way of results out of the young girl they transferred her treatment to group sessions where she was often found simply sitting, listening to headphones, avoiding even acknowledging any others. It wasn't until a new patient was brought in, James Valeck, that Emelie, then age 13, began to even show some signs of life.
Emelie and James became fast friends, despite the continued silence of the girl, he always seemed to comprehend her gestures and it wasn't often the two were found causing trouble around the asylum, much to the disappointments of Kalresh and his employees. Again Emelie's life became fairly routine...until a new psychiatrist came to Kalresh's and was assigned the young girl's case, Delar Nyruu.
At age 15 a revelation occurred and Emelie suddenly began to speak. Along with her sudden vocalization, her seemingly naive attitude was completely lost and she started a secretive affair with Doctor Nyruu as well as her fellow ward, James Valeck. Cigarras and various narcotics were often bribed or stolen from the orderlies and nursing staff and her overall disposition became overly flirtatious and carefree.
When Emelie was 17 another incident occurred that would change her life.again. During a session with Nyruu the young psychiatrist apparently was murdered by James Valeck, rumors speak that it may have been done out of jealousy and his known anger issues. James Valeck was transfered to Salis D'aar Penitentiary on Bakura and Emelie, seemingly none the worse for the incident, was released from Kalresh Asylum.
Immediately after Emelie's discharge from the Asylum she was recruited to work as a mechanic for a large fleet, took on the alias of "Rebecca Poe", and again continuing her flirtatious ways and carrying on of affairs with several pilots. She may have called the armada home, except some seeming political unrest caused the entire fleet to part from the organization they had been serving under. Not wanting to deal with the unrest caused by the separation, Emelie took the knowledge and money she had obtained and purchased an RZ-1 A-wing interceptor, which she lovingly named SPOT. After heavy modifications the small craft essentially became a new home to Emelie as she took on a life of spice running, bounty hunting, and other less-than wholesome activities.
