• Solara has the body typical to the NH-33 Nekovalkyrja with the general appearance of a human female in her late teen years or early twenties. She is slender and athletic, but not overly-muscled, is 5ft (152.5cm) tall and weighs 42.8kg (88.8lbs). Her measurements are 34-24-33 and she wears a b-cup.

• Having spent much of her life outdoors, Solara's skin is apropos a natural bronze tan, smooth to the touch and shining with health. For ease of maintenance she has elected to forgo body hair, aside from where mentioned below. Solara has no tattoos, piercings or other modifications to her body.

• Solara has almond-shaped eyes that are a golden shade of amber with flecks of copper throughout. She tends to prefer subtle, plum/purple eye shadow and liner to really contrast with the golden hue of her eyes. Solara's wavy hair is a butter blonde mane that she prefers to grow long and leave unrestrained. When it will get in the way, she plaits it into a simple three-strand braid that is either left hanging, or tied up into a bun that can be secured to the back of her head. Solara's neko ears are furred, although the shade is darker than her hair and leans more towards strawberry blonde. Likewise, her neko tail is covered in the same strawberry blonde hair, although the tuft of hair at the end is closer in shade to the hair on her head with bleached-white tips.

• Favouring a scent that reminds her of home, Solara's go-to is a light summery fragrance with notes of citrus, jasmine, hibiscus and a hint of sea salt. She has a silvery, singsong voice in the mezzo-soprano range.

• Solara is a classic ESTP personality - vibrant, outgoing and enthusiastic. She is driven and action-oriented and rarely wastes time living in the future or the past. While intelligent enough to discuss more-cerebral matters, Solara would rather just jump into doing something and worry about fixing mistakes as she goes. Being bold and brave, Solara is outwardly confident and keeps an open mind while seeking new and enjoyable forms of stimulation.

• She is not a fan of highly organized learning environments, preferring to learn in a more hands-on fashion. It is also hard to follow any externally imposed moral codes, as rules are there to be broken - if only so they can be rewritten more correctly later on. This attitude can made Solara harder to handle for supervisors and managers as she naturally tends to push the accepted boundaries of her situation.

• Being friendly and open, Solara enjoys social activity although her impatient, impulsive and direct nature can cause friction with some personality types. Tending to see little point in utilizing guile and deception, Solara very much embodies the idea that 'what you see is what you get'.

Although well past her youngling months, Solara is still young at heart and hasn't devoted much thought to what she wants from life. For now, her goals can best be described as:

• To seek out new life and new civilisations - to boldly go where no-one (or at least very-few), has gone before. Along the way, continue to have fun and experience all the new things!

• To perform her duties to the best of her abilities - even if neither of those are exactly what her superior believes them to be.

• To live life to the full and live with no regrets.

Like any sentient, there are a variety of things that Solara enjoys and likes. Equally there are many things that she dislikes or hates. In no particular order, the largest of these are:

• Being challenged
• Physical activity
• Seafood
• Dancing
• Karaoke
• Whittling
• Yugumo Merchant Spacey
• Yugumo Corporation
• Motoyoshi Clan
• Yamatai Star Empire

• Stimulants
• Staying still
• Being bored
• Classrooms
• Heavily spiced Food
• Kuvexian
• Mishhuvurthyar
• NMX Nekovalkyrja (although those that defect to the right side are acceptable)

Solara Clark was born on 4日 1月 YE44 at the Medical Clinic on the island of Shōkakkō, situated in the northern Fujisawa Sea to the west of Sapporo on the planet Jiyuu III.

• Her mother, Hayashi Yumiko, was a NH-33 Nekovalkyrja created in early YE40, during the Kuvexian War. As a Star ArmyMilitary Police Investigator, Yumiko saw little front-line action until the Battle Of Glimmergold. Having her ship explode around her, leaving her trapped and immobilised after witnessing the unpleasant deaths of many of her fellow Neko took a heavy toll on Yumiko's mind. She was eventually rescued by a SAR team led by a Nepleslian Exchange Officer named Kenneth Clark, who her damaged mind fixated upon. In the weeks following, this deepened into an unhealthy romantic obsession that, due to his happily-married status, was entirely one-sided. Two months after Glimmergold, Yumiko received a Medical Discharge from the Star Army for unrecoverable post-traumatic stress. Having seen a news story about Jiyuu III becoming the capital of the Motoyoshi Colonial Sector and liking some of what she had seen, Yumiko moved to Jiyuu III . Finding life in Tokyo to be too busy and frantic, she took a job out on a small island named Shōkakkō, liking the idea of a place named 'small but certain happiness'.

• Yumiko slowly healed from her traumas and began to feel a great embarrassment for her foolishness in the days after Glimmergold. Of course, by then she had already changed her surname from 'Hayashi Yumiko' to 'Mrs. Yumiko Clark'. Still, her mental hang-ups made it hard to connect emotionally with others and eventually she got lonely enough that Yumiko decided it would be wisest to undergo parthenogensis. Three months later and exactly one year after the Battle Of Glimmergoldd, Solara was born at the island's clinic.

• It took exactly ten days of having Solara constantly with her for Yumiko to exhaustedly realize that maybe she had not charted the wisest of courses with regards to procreating. That is not to say there was no love there, but rather that the mother understood she had been unrealistic with her goals for her daughter. She had gifted her the memories of her own 'childhood' - which included all the training she had received prior to her first posting in the Star Army. As a result, Solara reminded Yumiko too much of how she used to be, before the events of Glimmergold. Sadly this caused a minor degree of resentment, driven by old feelings of guilt and shame, which caused Yumiko to pull away emotionally and lose herself in work. This left Solara increasingly allowed to entertain herself and follow her own interests.

• As a side-effect of this early independence combined with her mother's early memories, Solara learned a lot about life beyond the island. Curious and eager to explore, the youngling came to think of islander-life as 'small, limited and boring'. Fortunately there was a ready-made solution that the Islanders used for such children and, late in YE44.2, Solara joined her local Troop of the Kikyō Scouts that covered Shōkakkō and the neighbouring islands.

• Now having an outlet for her desires and drive, Solara threw herself into the activities, training and socialisation opportunities proffered by the Kikyō Scouts. With the memories of Star Army Basic Training, the Neko youngling found herself greatly advantaged and quickly proved competent in multiple disciplines. This advantage only grew once she had fully grown into her Tennyo body, allowing Solara to earn multiple merit badges with ease. The neko would then use her knowledge and proven ability to help her fellow scouts develop their own skills.

• After a year, now an accomplished Scout across multiple disciplines, Solara was advanced by the Grand Council to the rank of Kikyō. Having impressed the organisation with her dedication, ability and drive, she was surprised to find herself receiving an invitation to attend Pathfinder Camp. While she had hoped to one day be offered the chance, Solara certainly hadn't expected to make the cut nearly so soon.

• In YE 45.3, Solara arrived with other Pathfinder-hopefuls at Fort Victory Reserve Center on planet Yamatai. There she underwent the gruelling month-long training before eventually completing the program and receiving her arrowhead.

• Turning her attention to her Leadership Capstone Project, Solara headed out to Kitashima on Tange II. There she would work with both the local community and representatives of Juugoya Cooperative to setup a police force for the island.

• After four months, Solara was fully confirmed as a Pathfinder.

• Having made a favourable impression during her involvement in the project on Tange II, shortly before completing her LCP Solara was invited to join Yugumo Keisatsu. With the project completed, she decided to take up the invitation.

• After a month of onboarding, in YE 45.9 Solara was assigned to a Deck Cadet Cruise aboard the ISS Evenstar (Yoi-no-Myōjō), a Yugumo Merchant Spacey vessel.

Solara Clark started the year with her 90 day Deck Cadet Cruise aboard the ISS Evenstar (Yoi-no-Myōjō). Following the successful completion of this, she began working in Security Officer as a Kaihei-kōhōsei. In YE 46.3, she received an early promotion to Kaihei-chui and was selected to join the special operations team known as Konpeki Gundan, Motoyoshi Eidan's Azure Legion.
