Her father is an architect back on Earth and Leena has six older brothers - all of whom pursued various fields in academia or engineering and technology. Leena herself was encouraged from a young age to go into medicine or teaching however this was not the life she wanted. Leena wanted to see the galaxy at large and serve on the bolder front of expansion across the galaxy. When Leena finished with high school she turned aside all scholarships and instead enlisted in the Federation Marine Corps, much to the vocal disappointment of her parents and siblings. Leena worked hard to make it in the Marines, putting in extra hours at the ranges and in the gym and focusing solely on the necessary study materials. She maintained a hard nosed exterior to avoid any distraction and drove away many prospective friendships in ensure she was nothing but a good marine in the end. Leena’s family never called or otherwise contacted her and despite her front of not caring it cut her deep. Unwilling to let her families’ disapproval shake her she kept her focus and shut out everything else until the end. Her instructors were impressed by her and always complimented her zealous attention and dedication in exercises. When Leena graduated her family was not present and her practice of keeping people away left her graduation feeling hollow, even with the chorus of applause for her - it was all courtesy after all. No jubilant shouts or whistling or airhorns for her, not like most of the others. Years have passed since and Leena has clumb through the ranks. Her record is spotless, her performances always satisfactory, and she even received commendations and a big promotion when she oversaw the eradication of a large smuggling ring in the Anahita system. Leena now boasts the rank of Commander and in recent months was given her own command as part of the UTF Marine Corp Special Response Initiative put into place a year back. Leena is proud of herself and has come to believe that the neglect of her family and lack of connections with others when she was younger has paid off. Those under her command respect and seem to like her and superior officers never hesitate in saluting and shaking her hand - her reputation preceding her. |
