Shima Hoshiko
Species & Gender:	Female Nekovalkyrja NH-33
Organization:	Star Army of Yamatai
Occupation:	SAoY Navigator
Rank:	Shoi
Current Placement:	YSS Wakaba Plot
Orders:	N/A

• For the most part, Hoshiko looks like a human female in her late teens or early twenties, with a heart-shaped face and a petite build that is both slender and subtlely athletic. She stands at 162.5 cm (5ft 4in) tall and 42 kg (92.6 lbs). Her BWH measurements are 34-24-34 and she wears a B cup.

• Hoshiko naturally possesses a very pale, almost albino, colouring. She has a youthful, healthy, complexion and even skin tone. Hoshiko has no body hair, tattoos or other identifying markings.

• Her eyes are almond-shaped, of a pale lilac hue with flecks of amethyst. Having idolised Empress Ketsurui Himiko from her earliest days, Hoshiko keeps her straight, waist-length, raven black hair in a neat hime cut style. She possesses typical neko ears, covered in short, silky black fur.

• Hoshiko favours a calming and refreshing petrichoral scent of patchouli, juniper berry, fir balsam and geranium that always reminds her of the first time she experienced rain for herself. Her voice, which she tends not to raise unless truly irritated, is a confident, quiet and light soprano.

• In terms of makeup, Hoshiko favours a dark, cat eye styling around her eyes and her lips are coated in a slightly glossy pale pink. This is a saved volumetric projection that she will often use in preference to actual makeup - volumetric projections don't run or smear, after all. Hoshiko is also very careful about maintaining a crisp and professional demeanour.

• Hoshiko is a serious young woman. As a future Star Army Officer and Leader, she cannot afford to be frivolous with her time and energy. While she has been gifted with several advantages, Hoshiko has had to put in the time and effort to master them for herself. This has resulted in her possessing a solid work ethic, sometimes at the unhealthy expense of her needs and wants. Having taken inspiration from such public figures as Empress Himiko, Hoshiko believes that she needs to be smarter, stronger and better in just about every way than she currently is in order to live up to her legacy and potential. This drives her to improve herself, developing skills existing and new.

• In order to deal with the strict self-imposed demands on her time, Hoshiko has very little 'free' time and has become something of a disciplinarian who takes personal offence at those who choose to be mediocre, laze around or refuse to give their all. As a result she has developed a less than ideal reputation amongst some of her peers who have gone so far as to nickname her 'The-Death-Of-Fun'. What her peers do not know is that this response is driven in no small part by her envy at their ability to 'let go and enjoy life'.

• Hoshiko is a somewhat solitary individual, often feeling isolated and lonely. She accepts this as 'the burden of command' that she has read about and tries not to let it bother her overly much although she does keenly feel that loneliness at times. At least until she throws herself into the next task on her never-ending to-do list.

Hoshiko has certain ambitions, she is just not yet sure how to go about reaching them.

• To become an exemplary officer of the Star Army of Yamatai
• To eclipse her mother's success as a SAoY Navigator
• To become a master swordswoman
• To be invited to become a member of the Angels of Death, the YSS Wakaba's most elite fighting force

Shima Hoshiko was born 11日 4月 44 in the maternity ward of the Hospital Center aboard the YSS Wakaba. She was the parthenogenic firstborn child of Shima Haruto, a Navigator and Officer serving aboard.

• Day 4 - Hoshiko was born at 0032 hours within the maternity ward of the YSS Wakaba's Hospital Center. It was an easy delivery, with no complications.

• Day 4 - Three months after being born, Hoshiko's NH-33Y body finished developing into her adult NH-33 form. A small celebration was held by Shima Haruto, her mother, at the end of which Hoshiko was informed that she had a week to find somewhere new to live before she would be kicked out. The party was still going by the time Hoshiko had removed her minimal possessions and left her 'home' for good.

• Day 11 - Having submitted her Star Army Enlistment Contract and sworn her Oath, Hoshiko officially joins the Star Army of Yamatai, serving aboard the YSS Wakaba as a recruit. Due to the memories passed down from her Mother, plus the latter's official statement of competency, Hoshiko is earmarked as a potential officer candidate and assessed throughout the following months.

• Following completion of initial competency testing with flying colours, Hoshiko was field promoted to Shoi Kohosei and accepted into a specialised cadet officer training program aboard the Wakaba as a Trainee Helmsman, Navigator and Officer.

• Hoshiko was convinced to attend the Firstborn Birthday Party, celebrating the year since the first births of the Wakaba children.

• While serving a duty shift on the Bridge of the Wakaba, Hoshiko received an incoming communique from the YSS Resurgence, the first potential contact with the Star Army since the Wakaba disappeared from Yamataian space. After confirming the nature of the incoming signal, Hoshiko got a first hand seat to witness the ongoing developments. While Captain Canterbury met with the visitors from the YSS Resurgence, Hoshiko continued to man her station on the bridge, picking up the arrival of three unknown contacts within the system.

• With the battle commencing, Hoshiko was relieved from her Bridge station but remained to witness the battle. Privately doubtful, Hoshiko was glad to be proven wrong when the Wakaba returned to space. During the following battle, she remained in position on the Bridge, arming herself and preparing to deal with any Mishhu boarders.

Most of the skills and knowledge Hoshiko possesses were passed on to her from her mother during the gestation process and included almost everything from her mother's birth through to her full qualification as a Navigator. As such, considering the depth and nature of the bequeathed knowledge, Hoshiko will need to receive supplemental education and be assessed/accredited in most areas listed below before they can be officially recognised as her own accomplishments.

Basic Training

• Star Army Common Skills - Hoshiko remembers attending Star Army Basic Training at Educational Facility 1 at Ketsurui no Iori on Yamatai. Her mother underwent basic training in YE 38 after graduating from Gakuin Academy. She would go on to serve as a Science Officer for two years before being accepted into Officer Training.

Further Training & Education

• Bachelor's Degree in Astrophysics, Gakuin Academy - Hoshiko remembers attending the Gakuin Academy operated by the SSS. Straight out of high school, her mother studied a two-year intensive Bachelor's Degree program in Astrophysics, beginning in YE 36. Due to a pre-existing deferred entry into the Star Army, she was not required to join the SSS and following graduation, attended SAoY Basic Training.

• Officer Training, Mayame Officer School (MOS) - Hoshiko has full and complete memories of her mother attending the Mayame Officer School, where she participated in the MOS program, which lasted for 120 days. She graduated in YE 40 and after a short leave, entered Starship Piloting School.

• Starship Piloting School, YSS Foundation - Hoshiko remembers attending Starship Piloting School aboard the YSS Foundation, a Henry Chen-class Training Ship operating as part of the First Fleet, Fifth Division. The 3 month long program started in the final months of YE 40, at the end of which her mother graduated with a full starship piloting license that also included shuttle operation. She would serve as a SAoY Starship Operator and Helmsman for almost two years before deciding to qualify as a SAoY Navigator.

• Astro-Navigation Training Program, Ketsurui Academy - Hoshiko recalls attending the Astro-Navigation Training Program at Ketsurui Academy at Ketsurui no Iori on Yamatai in YE 43. During this 3 month long intensive program, she learned everything needed to navigate throughout the Kikyo Sector and beyond. Upon graduating, she was awarded the SAoY Navigator MOS and assigned to the YSS Wakaba.

Supplementary Education

• Swordsmanship - Unlike her mother, Hoshiko has a particular obsession with regards to swords and swordsmanship. This interest was formed after she studied the Empress and the Ketsurui Samurai. The young neko is firmly of the belief that every serious, career-minded officer of the SAoY should learn swordsmanship. Hoshiko has received some swordsmanship training from Setsunu Meiosei.
