Aawe Elu

Lt. JG Aawe Elu is a Cyberwarfare Specialist on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Elu was born on an unnamed asteroid on which her parents, two notorious smugglers, currently hid their ship to evade a Starfleet patrol.
The little Bajoran was raised by her parents and trained in multiple forms of non violent crimes, including but not limited to: Hacking, Pick pocketing and of course hiding things on a ship from the authorities (aka smuggling).
On her 15th birthday her parents left her on Dreon VII, a Bajoran Colony, without any explanation. The little thief managed to survive on her own for half a year.
As she tried to pickpocket a Starfleet officer on leave, she got caught. But instead of turning her in, the kind officer made her swear to never commit a crime again and let her go. This simple kind act sparked her interest and made her realise that there are nice people out there too.
She overthought her ways and after a couple years of hard work and even harder studying, she managed to buy a ticket to earth and enroll into the Starfleet Academy at her second attempt.
To this day she does not know who that beneficent stranger was that inspires her to this day.
She had not many friends in her time there as she was focused on learning.
Elu successfully graduated in the year of 2413 in the upper half of her class.
Her first assignment was as shuttle pilot on the USS Pluto.
Even though she was trained for cyberwarfare first and piloting second, Elu wanted to enhance her piloting skills before taking on a job where she sat “behind a screen” all the time.
After three years of service, an event occurred which would change the life of Ensign Aawe.
The away team of the Pluto was on an uncatalogued planet for an exploration mission. When a predator attack heavily wounded a Senior officer. Unfortunately a storm in the upper atmosphere prevented the usage of beaming as a recovering method.
Elu volunteered to fly down and recover the team.
The pilot managed to collect the crew with only minor turbulences. She managed to fly up high enough to allow the away team to be beamed on board. Unfortunately the away team consisted of the exact number of people the transporter could beam. It was the plan to retrieve Elu after the away team was collected and return the shuttle via auto pilot, but it never came to that.
A bigger turbulence hit the shuttle and disrupted its energy source. The spacecraft crashed and Elu lost both her eyes and left arm in the accident.
The unconscious Ensign was retrieved after the storm was over and sent to a rehabilitation facility.
The heroic act of saving her crewman was enough for her to be promoted.
Freshly promoted and returning from her physical therapy, Lieutenant Junior Grade Aawe Elu is ready to start her service on the USS Odyssey.
