History:
Born on the island state of Singapore, Rachel was a boisterous girl growing up. She was always respectful of authority figures, but at the same time got into plenty of mischief with her energetic personality and cunning mind. She was never malicious in her antics, just too focused on getting laughs and pushing her boundaries.
After 2 years drifting through junior college with no real sense of purpose, Rachel looked for it in the military. Signing on with the Singapore Armed Forces at 18, she was awarded an army scholarship for her excellent academic record. She enlisted in the Military Intelligence branch, hoping to put her mind to good use, and took to the lifestyle. Sure, the discipline and regimentation might have seemed at odds with a joker like her, but it helped her focus her energy. Laughter was a great morale booster for her comrades, and her cunning served her well during her officer training when it came to petty cadet politics and surviving sadistic trainers. It also made her "one of the guys", which helped her blend in a lot easier as a young woman in a male dominated field.
After 2 years of service, she took a disruption to pursue a degree in Psychology in university as the field intrigued her. It would serve her well, she reasoned, knowing how a human mind works when it came to intelligence gathering. Academic life pushed her mentally, but otherwise she felt at odds with everyone else. People were carefree in an academic setting while she felt there was so much more to life than partying and living day to day with no end goal in mind.
She returned to service after graduation, and soon found herself working in the field on real operations rather than peacetime training. Counter-terrorism efforts in the region was growing day by day, and Rachel proved her mettle in the jungles of Malaysia surveying jihadist camps hidden in the thick jungles. She was close enough to observe everything they did and relay them back to headquarters without ever being spotted.
Occasionally, she was called on to gather physical evidence, and her team rose to the challenge. They prided themselves on gathering intel without firing their weapons, but on the few occasions where firefights broke out, they prided themselves on bringing everyone back alive. On her last operation, however, Rachel made a career ending mistake that would see her taken off the field until her contract with the army expired. All official documents were classified and nobody ever spoke of why she was transferred from active combat duty.
When the call came from Centurion, she was quick to sign up, seeking redemption. Hopefully her talents would serve her better in a PMC.
Psychological Profile:
Rachel tends to be reserved and introverted at first, cautiously weighing if she'd get along with someone before engaging them further. That said, she is professional enough to put aside personal pet peeves for the sake of the group. Anyone who earns her trust and confidence, however, will find they have earned a steadfast ally and friend. "Mama bear" was the affectionate term her teammates used to refer to her, though thankfully that was never her callsign.
Rachel is quick-witted and paired with a sharp tongue. Rarely the one to not have the last word, her eloquence serves her well when making friends and silencing critics. She's a good judge of character and usually knows how to avoid pushing someone's buttons too much. Conversely, being able to know where one's raw nerves are also puts her at an advantage when trying to push people off balance in a conversation.
She has a strong moral compass, though it is balanced with a bit of pragmatism. She's a woman of principle and not bowing to peer pressure is a badge of honour for her. She'll compromise and cooperate where she can, so long as she's not asked to go against her values and beliefs. She's fairly disillusioned and jaded when it comes to bureaucracy, and is very guarded with the reason why.
