BACKGROUND
Family:
She never knew her parents and has no idea if she has any other relatives or their whereabouts.
Personal History:
Miriam's life has been... troubled at best. Taken from her parents at a tender young age, she has been raised to be nothing more than a tool of war and utility. For the first sixteen years of her life, she never had options or choices. Everything was strictly decided for her. She was never allowed to speak, eat, rest, or move without being told. Besides her over demanding superiors tasking her with endless streams of impossible tasks, she had to silently suffer through the multiple forms of abuse she found herself at the mercy of.
Finally, after years of built of torture and a particularly nasty encounter with one of her captors, she snapped quite violently turning viciously on her current abuser. With the threat laying dead on the floor, she fled. Knowing her gilded prison like the back of her hand, she escaped with ease. For a good amount of time, she had a habit of looking over her shoulder half expecting her abusers to be right behind her poised to drag her back to the hellhole. Of course, that never happened. After all, they had been molding and shaping her since birth. Miriam was supposed to have no concept of escape.
She spent the next three years forging a new identity for herself. She gave herself a name, an identity, everything. She began travelling from world to world absorbing and observing everything she could see as well as find herself. After a year, she decided that she wanted to make something of her life. Give back, make the world a better place kind of conviction. So, Miriam did the one thing that came to mind: join the military. She was sent to the academy and exceeded all expectations. Working hard and acing every test and challenge placed in front of her. Finally, she was notified that she would be acting as the Chief Officer second only to the Captain himself for a critical movement against the growing pirate movement. Naturally, she accepted.
