Biography	A former ground crew member who through a combination of bravery and a whole lot of luck (or help from her faith in Helus) saved the life of Prince Simon Azurewind during an otherwise routine deployment, that's what won her the Djana Cross and a place at flight school, her officers commission came soon after (she now flies as Simon's 'wingman'). Generally she's friendly, enjoys running (she's a heptathlete) and takes the odd reasonable risk. Djana Cross awarded for "... most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy."
