Short Bio: Jacqueline, known as Jackie for her closest friends, was born as the daughter of a wealthy family of plutocrats in Earth. Having no small shortage of wealth and fortune on her household, she grew to be hedonistic, spoiled and debased, blatantly leeching her family's resources for her own amusement. Orgies, expensive bets, illegal races through Earth's hive metropolis, illegal alien drug consumption, you name it, and Jacqueline probably has done it in the past.
One would expect of such a person to quickly drop out of all educational pursuits, but Jacqueline knew that happy parents were parents that turned a blind eye to her debauchery, so she applied just enough of her talent (she was a fan of the law of minimal effort, after all). She prodded through this unstable equilibrium until one night, one too many drinks, made her make the outrageous bet she would zoom through the military officer academy.
After the fallout of such claim (and the hangover) happened, Jacqueline pondered that being caught in military service was alright. Being a large, huge monstrosity she could always find a cosy spot to laze around and let her subordinates do the work. And then the war happened. Of course, this wasn't to the liking of Jacqueline, but it got her gears shifting. If she did it well enough in the war she could shoot herself in the foot or something, claim war wound and retire as a heroine with a fat pension. But they had to win though. So she... applied herself to her tasks.
Things were going well, but then the tides turned against her. Her objectives was no longer doing something and milking it for her entire life, but now even her debased sweet lifestyle was endangered. Her surge in competence made her climb ranks, and make her efforts more visible (and the inability to hide her slacking with it), but she saw it as a lesser evil. If everyone else was gone and impoverished, where would she get her alcohol and gambling from? And then her superior Admiral stubbornly repeated the mantra of the battle of Proxima. Hell, even she could see the trap it was. Only Alexander Kherol did seem to notice it. She wished she was under his command, instead. The fighting that happened could have been avoided.
But she was chucked in the trap, alongside her men. She couldn't even turn tail and run, the idiot Admiral of hers spouting Ascendancy propaganda, until a bad case of debris in the brain shut him up. That left her with one problem. She was the surviving highest rank. Jacqueline cursed under breath and decided for the first time, she would apply herself like there was no tomorrow. Captain Jacqueline was responsible for evacuating half of the survivors from the hole they had dug themselves in. Incidentally, she was promoted on virtue of being one of the highest ranking officers left standing after the fiasco.
But that mean that Admiral Kherol now could look at her closely and no more slacking opportunities. She wished she had become a lazy corporate cat instead.
