It was city life for me, trendy clothes, cool friends, plenty of money to do what I wanted for hobbies and recreation. I was the oldest of three, so while I ended up having to watch out for my little sisters we were all fairly independent and had multiple hobbies that we took part in. All three of us took dance, my youngest sister excelled at it out of all of us. I decided that I wanted to swim and dive, and I was very good at both of these things. I won several awards in competitions, I did well in school without being exceptional.
When I was seventeen I decided that I wanted to join the military and I was able to convince my parents to agree to it. I began attending Fleet Academy on my home planet of Leonis, and while I did well, once more I didn't do exceptionally. I made slightly higher than needed on everything, balanced a social life, as well as still helping with my sisters when I could. It made for a busy schedule, and it was a relief when I graduated to find out that I was assigned to the flight school on Caprica.
For the next two years I did everything asked of me, I did well, better than I had in previous years at school. It became quickly clear that I was both a natural, and I worked harder at this than I had at anything else in my life previously. When I graduated I graduated comfortably in the top of my class, but not at the top.
My first assignment was the Valkyrie, and that's where I was still when everything changed, and life became a lot less fun for a while. During the fight I was forced to eject, and got lucky enough that I was picked up by a Raptor. I don't remember too much about the aftermath, but I know things were bad, and I was taken to Picon. After that happened was lost I was eventually reassigned after to the Orion, and that is where I've been ever since.
