Georgiana al-Khalid

Georgiana "Gina" al-Khalid is the adopted daughter of the al-Khalid family. Previously a Criller, Georgiana has used her placement to seek an interest in journalism and writing. She is currently working at the Federation News Service HQ in San Francisco.
==Background Information==
Born to parents Valerie Tiermusali (2355 - Mar 2383) and Colin Criller (2350 - Sept 2381), she was later adopted by Johara al-Khalid (2215) and Iskander al-Khalid (2260).  Both parents died as an effect of the Ivorian/Jouretian Civil War, with Colin as a ground casuality and Valerie murdered at a refugee base. Toby was a lively child - bright and creative, if a bit over inquisitive at times - while Gina is a true doll with her twinkling eyes and gamine smile. They are still young, but both have seen more tragedy in their abbreviated years than most adults could imagine surviving. Born on Ivor to Collin and Valerie Criller, they lost their father to the Ivorian/Jouretian Civil war just weeks after Gina's birth. 
Though only six at the time, Toby took the loss hard, and strove to the "man of the family" for his mother and infant sister. They survived on Ivor, barely getting by as Collin's family refused to acknowledge the children as family, until the chance came to escape with the refugee caravans. Taking her little ones, Valerie jumped ship for DS5 - and for hopes of a better chance at the future. Hopes, unfortunately, which were crushed within days of arriving. Caught in the middle of the tensions raging through the refugee "camps", Valerie was brutally assaulted - and then murdered - leaving Toby and Gina orphaned.
Because Johara was a counselor on the station when they were orphaned, she took charge of their care, hoping that family could be uncovered. One member finally stepped forward, but while he cared for the children it was realized his lifestyle simply could not provide them the stability they needed, so Johara became their official guardian, working towards official adoption. When she met and fell in love with Iskander everything seemed to fit. Once married they formally adopted the children.
She has a full sibling named Tobias al-Khalid (2374); and several adopted including Maja al-Khalid (2385), Isaac al-Khalid (2387), Hasan al-Khalid (2398), Mylee al-Khalid (2400) and Miriam al-Khalid (2403).  Georgiana is an Aunt to Zhara al-Khalid (2403) through her brother Tobias, as well as a sister-in-law to his wife Zaina Nesrin.  
Currently, Gina is working at the FNS headquarters in San Francisco, starting October 2401. Having an avid interest in writing, reporting and journalism, she even took a tour for six months on the USS Valiant in order to interview the Cadets about their experiences.
