Biography
Growing up, my family consisted of my mother and my two older brothers on Oma Ker. I never really liked colony life, so when the time came, I enlisted and served in the military. I'd saved up my military pay, and eventually had enough money to move from the colony to the Citadel once my term was over.
Not long after I arrived, I met the man who would soon become my boyfriend. At first I wasn't too sure about dating a human, especially one who'd already had two twins, Adelaide and Adrian, from previous marriage, but I quickly stopped caring about the species difference, and after moving in with him and helping raise them, I eventually grew to consider his kids as if they were my own family. We dated for a few years before finally getting engaged a few months before the war broke out. We filed for adoption papers, and eventually his kids became mine as well. After working a few odd jobs for a while, I was finally accepted to work for C-sec a few months before the war.
We never got the chance for our bonding ceremony though. The Citadel was attacked, and Isaac and Adelaide were both killed in the fight. Miraculously, Adrian survived mostly unharmed, but I came out of the battle with several injuries, including one that blinded me in my left eye and damaged the structural integrity of that side of my face. I had to draw from my savings so I could afford cybernetic surgery, but after a long recovery I was able to see again. However, it left me pretty tight on money afterward, so we had to move to a much cheaper apartment so I could afford rent.
I went back to work at C-sec, hoping to do my job to protect my son and the Citadel as best as I can. It's really hard some days having to come home to a house that's much more empty than it used to be. Some days I keep expecting to walk in and see Adelaide shouting that I'm home and Isaac at the door to greet me. I miss the laughter of my little girl, the warm words of my fiance. It hurts, spirits it hurts, but I know that they wouldn't want me to dwell on the past and never move on. I'm trying, but it's slow going. But I want to honor his and her memories the best I can, by doing my job as a C-sec officer well, and raising Adrian and providing for him a happy childhood that he can remember fondly one day.
It's hard, raising a child by myself, especially one that I'm not the same species of. There's so many things I'm learning on the fly how to do, and I've got to make a lot of sacrifices with my time and money. Times can be tough, with me working most of the day, and most of the time I don't have a lot of extra money to take him out to have fun. Most of my free time is spent at home with him, so I don't get the chance to go out, have fun, or make friends too often. Honestly, it can be really lonely sometimes. But I keep trying and fighting, doing the best I can day after day.
