Name America Amy Dulce Carriedo named by the nun who took her in Amy's parents were from America Colony VII, and couldn't afford to take a baby home with them Age 28 Height 5'7 Weight 135 lbs Home colony Europa Colony 9.0, Espaa district Specialization Mechanical Engineering - if it's broke on the ship, and it's mechanical she can probably fix it. Bio Raised in an orphanage on Europa Colony 9.0, Amy found life to be difficult. She was forced to work from a young age, as the orphanage pretty much kicked her out when she was 14 due to overfilling. She was always a pretty young thing, with long fiery red hair that fell to her waist, bright turquoise blue eyes, and fair, slightly freckled skin. She stood at about 5'7, and weighed a lean 133 lbs. She took up a job in a garage, working as the cleaning help for less than minimum wage, but hey, it kept her fed. The older men who worked in the garage took a shining to her, and when she was 16, they gave her an job as a trainee mechanic she took to the lessons and learning like a starving man took to a plate of fresh food. By the time she was 20, she was working alongside the older men as an equal. When she turned 24, she heard of a mercenary group who was looking for an engineer, someone with plenty of experience working on tech and fixing machines. Wanting a chance to see the universe beyond her colony, Amy signed up with the crew and was more than happy to display her hard-earned prowess working on ships to the man in charge. She is nothing special, no enhancements or anything, but she will run and fight with the best of them. Her weapon of choice if you force her into combat is the oversize wrench she carries with her. It weighs about 19 lbs, and is three feet in length most people try to avoid fighting in close quarters with her because of that reason. Skills Tinkering, sewing, hiding, basic first aid, engine repair, ship repair, cooking, and singing. Religion Catholic..ish. She has a rosary that was given to her by the nun, Sister Marguerite, when she was thrown out of the orphanage. She keeps it for sentimental reasons. She doesn't really hold to the tenets of the faith much these days, though. Outfit Description She wears a grey tank top under a denim jacket with a patch of her merc company on it, camo pants with a black belt, and a pair of shiny black work boots. Around her waist is also usually a tool belt, which aids her in the maintenance and upkeep of the ship. Around her neck hangs a red kerchief, and perched on her head are a pair of goggles both to keep oil or other ickies out of her eyes and mouth. Her long red hair is kept braided up and out of the way so that it doesn't get caught in the machinery. Also accompanying her outfit is usually a few smudges of oil here and there from where she's been working. Best Memory The summer when she turned 12, Sister Marguerite allowed her to stay up later than normal and catch fireflies in the gardens. Worst Memory Being thrown out of the orphanage when she was 14, despite Sister Marguerite's begging and pleading the orphanage was overcrowded. TrinketsPersonal Knickknacks Her rosary and her engineering goggles.
