==Overview==
Grenla is the daughter of Senior Emissary Jerakia Kileao. Despite this connection to one of the most powerful Dragonians, Grenla will try to keep her family distanced from herself, not wanting to be associated with her mother.
Her loathing of Jerakia evolved into hatred during 1981, when Grenla's father died in a traffic accident shortly after Grenla's birthday that year. From this day forth, Jerakia herself had to look after Grenla, something she had never bothered doing before having left Grenla's care as the responsibility of Grenla's father and the family servants, with the latter being under orders to not show any affection towards Grenla. Jerakia still refused to interact with Grenla short of yelling at her, leaving Grenla with nobody that loved her.
At age 18, Grenla was kicked out of Jerakia's house and told to either get a job or join the army and do something productive. Having heard the plans for colonising a nearby planet the next year, Grenla joined the army and applied to be part of the new colony, hoping she could get away from her mother.
Grenla was just early enough to qualify for the "colonisation" mission to Serinia, being rushed through basic training. Grenla's mood was good until she realised the leader of the new colony was going to be Jerakia, at which point her mood plummeted, having assumed the Senior Emissary leading the mission was not Jerakia due to Jerakia never mentioning it. Regardless of her mood, she stayed in the army and was part of the "colonisation" mission, with her squad suffering little to no casualties and seeing little resistance even by the standards of the weak resistance common during the invasion.
Grenla once loved a human during the years on Serinia, and through some misplaced hope there was some good in her mother, brought this human home, thinking her mother would be proud she finally loved something and was making something of her life. However, Jerakia grabbed the human around the neck upon seeing him, and grumbled "You brought me a pre-lunch snack, well done" before devouring the human while Grenla stood there in shock. Once Jerakia had finished devouring the human, Grenla had already ran away sobbing, not wanting to watch her love go down her mother's maw.
==The destruction of the Sera System==
Grenla was present on Serinia when Atheai and her forces attacked. Despite hatred towards her, Grenla's first goal was to gather her friends to make sure they were alright, preferring to hide rather than confront the Androgian invaders. The group of friends and any other survivors Grenla had gathered, both human and Dragonian, slowly dwindled in number as the invasion dragged on, having lost just under a quarter of their numbers when the evacuation order came.
During the 3 day long journey to the nearest evacuation ship, which happened to be a large battleship, Grenla's group ran into several others along the way, with most of them being civilians who mistook her fancy armour for a commander and followed her despite her protests, with the few Dragonian soldiers among them not questioning it. Grenla for some reason became the unofficial commander of her ship once they reached it, with the trained Dragonians saying they needed a captain who would look after them, not follow military protocols, and made a questionable call to wait for another two groups to arrive before launching. The first group was small and boarded the ship without any problems, but the second group was larger than both the first group and the groups Grenla had gathered combined, and was being pursued by a group of Androgians leading to Grenla giving the order to power the ship up once they came into visual range, but instead of launching and abandoning the second group, ordered the ship to fire at the Androgians and launch only once the second group was aboard. Watching the ship's weapons decimate the Androgians was a brief morale boost for those on board, but they knew the real risk was still to come.
Launching of the battleship went successfully following an idea proposed by one of the engineers to use the Hyperdrive while still in atmosphere, with Grenla only saying yes due to the ignorance of the dangers of such a jump. Grenla's overcrowded battleship was one of just 12 ships to escape Serinia, having saved 853 Dragonians and 1965 humans.
== Uniform==
Grenla does not wear the typical armour plating of normal army soldiers, instead wearing a pair of gilded shoulder pads and fancy belt buckle given to her by Jerakia as a gift, primarily as a way to stand out in the army. After the decimation of her species, Grenla would have scrapped the armour for raw materials, but decided against it due to it's superior protective strength over the crude armour being made aboard the escape ships.
== Combat Style ==
Grenla prefers to fight in close quarters, mostly due to her terrible aim. Due to this preference, she carries a shotgun and the standard issue pistol as a backup.
