Specializing in Linguistics / communications
History: Born and raised in the Arizona base she was a very promising soldier to Manticore, with a special gift to pick up almost any language. Never considered leadership material she never showed and promise in that area. Happy within her unit she got on with all of her unit and often sought comfort from the older members of her unit although they never thought to give each other names.
Her specialist training increased alongside her usual training within her unit, in 2017 the Arizona base was merged with the Hawaii base. She was moved again at the age of 18, when she was one of those chosen to be placed at one of the foreign outposts, she was to be the new experimental units Linguistics and communications expert, the unit was based at the tiny base in Saudi Arabia.
She was split from her unit which she fund hard as she found at first to have no support, yet as time went by she came to see Omega unit as more of a family than her previous unit. The unit had 24 soldiers within it all having their own unique specialty. Together they made up a unit that had training in all the fields, meant to be deployed as a unit or larger teams, that should never need to call on assistance from outside units, because it has people from all the specializations within it's unit.
On joining the Omega unit she had only one completed and totally successful mission to her name. But she thrived under the challenges that the Omega unit brought her. By this time she could read, write and speaks close to one hundred languages including sign language, this includes slight variants within a language such as Chinese and Punjabi.
Due to her ethnic look on her first mission she was instructed to speak English with a...as the guy put it a Latino twist. She did as she was ordered but when the mission took a turn for the worse at one point she nearly panicked and ever since she hasn't been able to stop talking like it. She can still put on other accents with ease but her 'natural' accent is no longer American.
Just after they completed a mission as a complete unit, the destroying of a listening post that had been eavesdropping on American interests in that area of Saudi Arabia, oil fields that Manticore had an interest in since they partly belonged to those they had ties with, they were pulled out of Saudi Arabia and shipped back to the USA, as were all others from all the other outposts around the globe, they ended up in Washington.
Training resumed and after 452 blew up the DNA data base she was scheduled for the breeding program as an excellent candidate although they had to wait for her 'partner' to return from a mission. The didn't mind waiting a few extra days if the work up of both specimens were seen to be a very good almost perfect match.
Luckily before that could happen the base was destroyed and she escaped the fire along with her unit, but they split up, she has yet to meet up with any of her unit but has settled well into Terminal City.
While collecting supply's for Terminal City she was captured by Leito on her way back totally out of the blue. He had not been tracking her it was just luck, he had remembered her face from the file and immediately took her down. She didn't go quietly and after a scuffle he knocked her unconscious.
Waking up back at the base still feeling the effects of the drugs they had used to knock her out. Laying strapped down to a table in the lab her casual clothes had been replaced by a Manticore issue hospital gown.
Due to her being immune to psy ops it was not easy to get her to comply, torture and psychological games where used to get her to obey even the simplistic commands. Still in isolation she trains alone and is slowly caving in. Having enough of the beatings, the hunger and thirst she is slowly dieing inside. Giving up on any hope that she will be able to return to the outside world again. After experiencing freedom she had sworn she would never return to Manticore....
Other: -Is Psy Imune
- Finds it hard to be around others in heat or those in the 'whore corp' as in rare occasion it can set off her own heat cycle and she has very little control over it. Normal steers clear of Hiromi if she is able to or if its not possible she will not physically touch her.
