Known Background Thomyris originally joined the St. Anne in a temporary work in lieu of passage fees deal in order to escape the world she was currently on. One thing led to another and via merit and willingness to work, she slowly earned herself a permanent posting in the ships crew. Caught up in a few of the ships misadventures, she has somewhat undergone a transformation from the tight-lipped nervous runaway to possessing a form of imitated confidence and bravado, developing a morbid sense of humor through her experiences in enduring and watching others. She believes she has proven her loyalty to the crew in having spilled blood in defense of the ship. Unknown Background Thomyris was born to a working class family on the frontier world of Ruplade . Mineral and resource rich, its remote distance from the centre of human space allowed easy exploitation for corporate interests. Extortion, fraudulent investing, and scandalous banking practices led to most of the original prospectors being bought up or forced into a condition of servile-debt. Thomyris family was no exception, her father caught in this scam and forced to commit his life to work off the outrageous debt and interest levied on him, when his investment was discovered to be on falsified reports. The stress of the following decade, as Thomyris grew to adulthood, caused her father to fall into a depressive state and eventually kill himself in an attempt to escape the debt. Instead, they came after Thomyris, who already had very little. The hardships of this life gave her a very demeaning view on life, in that even humans can be devalued to a monetary amount, that all in reality could be priced and discarded just as easily. Attempting to work, she was harried and harassed by debt collectors, who had less than well-intended forms of compensation to elicit from the young woman, until one day the pressure grew to the point she snapped. Murdering a debt-collector in her home, she panicked and fled at once, leaving behind her childhood home and all her possessions to escape before the authorities caught on. It was then that she was lucky to have found the St. Anne and be picked up as a work, escaping before her crime could catch up with her. Thomyris never revealed to anyone what she had done, keeping the memory to herself, but one who can murder once is someone who can definitely murder again.
