==Overview==
Jerakia is a Senior Emissary of the Dragonian species, a position of great power and second only to the Master Emissary. She is widely known to be impersonal and difficult to deal with.
Jerakia's height is a rarity among Dragonians but not among the Kileao family which has a long history of producing taller than average women. While her bust is considered exceptionally large even by the already larger than average Kileao family standards, which paired with her already exceptional size gave Jerakia a raw strength the envy of many Dragonians in addition to a few embarrassing accidents as she grew up due to her not being used to her strength.
Born into a noble family where a family member had always held onto the title of Senior Emissary ever since the current ruling system was introduced, Jerakia was technically a middle child, having hatched a little over two years after her older brother Lorak and almost 34 years before her younger sister Grenrakia. Jerakia would obtain the title of Senior Emissary when her mother Grenia died in a suspicious shuttle crash in 1858, making Jerakia one of the youngest Dragonians to hold the title of Senior Emissary and leaving Jerakia as almost a surrogate mother for her currently unhatched baby sister.
Jerakia's complete lack of a maternal instinct became abundantly clear when her baby sister hatched later in 1858, with Jerakia's attempts to be the stern force of discipline to her baby sister, an attempt to counter her own doting father whom Jerakia had always resented for his softness, along with balancing her work life often coming across as cold and even hateful. None of which was helped by Jerakia's outwardly pained reaction to her baby sister's wailing. Despite her often hostile exterior, Jerakia did care for her baby sister, even if she was physically incapable of showing it.
One of Jerakia's first tasks as Senior Emissary and family matriarch was hiring her childhood best friend Nelraiki as a personal servant, partly to honour a promise she had made during school, and partly to have another friendly, non-family face to assist around the house, and partly to take some of the more domestic chores off the existing servants who were also helping Jerakia be Senior Emissary by imparting things they had learned working for Grenia.
In 1971, she married out of the need to have a child in case anything happened to her after suspecting for several months that a family rival was plotting to kill her. It later transpired that the "plot" was actually the family rival announcing they were going to leave Dragonian politics, but the damage had been done, Jerakia had married a man whom she had no feelings for and had lain the egg of a child. The child, named Grenla Kileao, hatched the following year and was almost totally ignored by Jerakia until 1981. Jerakia initially ignored Grenla because she simply couldn't stand children, but as Grenla started to grow it became apparent to Jerakia that she had inherited few of the Kileao family genes and generally resembled her father more than Jerakia, something which Jerakia took as a personal insult and solidified her impression of Grenla as a mistake.
In 1981 her husband died shortly after Grenla's 9th birthday after randomly going out in the middle of the night while barely awake and was found dead the next morning on the road outside the Kileao family estate's gates after seemingly being hit by a truck, leaving Jerakia the sole parent of Grenla. 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. The only time Jerakia gave a gift to Grenla or showed any form of affection was on her 18th birthday (1990), the gift was some gilded shoulder plates and a belt buckle the same style as Jerakia's. The reason for this gift was a 'Here's a gift, now get out my house' message, as Jerakia kicked Grenla out the same day with just the words 'Get a job or join the army, you've been a sponge for too long'.
In 1989, Jerakia proposed that the nearby world of Serinia would make a great colony due to it's liveable atmosphere and short distance from Geria. The Master Emissary approved of the plans, as Geria's population had started to outgrow the planet and the idea of colonising a planet that already had some infrastructure was a better idea than starting a new colony from scratch. This prompted the rate of starship building (the Dragonians had starships since 1831, but never had a desire to explore and only managed to retro-engineer a hyperdrive in 1987) to increase as well as the army's numbers to swell, on the basis that if Serinia's human population was dangerous, a Dragonian with army training and equipment would be more likely to survive than one without the training.
The leader of the new Serinian colony was publicly unconfirmed until the colonisation fleet was ready to depart in 1991, although the choice had already been made, with the Master Emissary choosing Jerakia on the logic that it was her idea. Jerakia accepted on the conditions that she got a slight pay increase and that, more importantly, she would have almost full control of the colonisation mission and the colony itself. Despite these terms being a bit greedy, the Master Emissary granted them both to Jerakia.
==Appetite==
Jerakia's appetite is considered absurd by most Dragonians, having portions an average 2-3 of times larger than a typical Dragonian would. During the annual Emissary's meal, she has been known to eat everyone's leftovers (if she likes the food served) as well as twice as much food as everyone else, although this exceptional gluttony isn't exclusively down to her desire to eat, but is also a convenient way to avoid interacting with other people. Jerakia has never been known to refuse meat, and will happily eat any meat that isn't from a DragonKin species.
During the colonisation of Serinia, Jerakia developed a taste for human, typically devouring at least one daily cooked into her normal meals, although she occasionally indulges herself and devours one whole.
Following the invasion of the Sera System by the Androgians, Jerakia would somewhat suppress her desire to devour humans, considering them fellow survivors of Androgian aggression and far more trustable than any other alien despite still seeing them as an inferior species. This mercy was only extended to Serinian Humans, and she would still consider non-Serinian humans an inferior species worthy of being food.
==The Destruction Of The Sera System==
Jerakia was present on Serinia when Atheai and her forces attacked. Her initial orders were to gather any combat trained Dragonians together and hide in fortified positions, putting up resistance only to get intelligence on how to kill the invading Androgians or to defend the fortified positions. Jerakia herself retreated to her heavily fortified command bunker along with her senior staff and personal defence force.
Two weeks into the invasion, all contact from Geria had ceased, prompting Jerakia caving to pressure from army commands and allowing the Dragonian forces to go on an offensive against the small Androgian forces currently on Serinia, primarily for a morale boost and to buy time for the inevitable evacuation. The counter-offensive went well for the first few days, all but wiping out the limited number of Androgian invaders who were primarily focused on "harvesting" the Serinian capital, but quickly collapsed once the Androgians started diverting larger numbers away from Geria and onto Serinia, resulting in Dragonian forces retreating back to their fortified positions and returned to putting up resistance only to defend these positions.
In the following the weeks the Androgian invaders became more and more complacent with a lack of Dragonian resistance, having decimated a few of the more exposed Dragonian defensive positions, and prematurely decided to focus on rounding up and "harvesting" the inhabitants. Dragonian forces hadn't been idle during this time, having used it to covertly load up concealed ships with supplies. After just over two months had passed since the invasion started, Jerakia gave the evacuation order, much earlier than expected due to the Androgians getting uncomfortably close to Jerakia's command bunker which also concealed her flagship, the D.C.V. Grenia. Jerakia's flagship was the first to launch, launching a day after the order to evacuate was given, with the launch only being delayed so as not to draw too much attention to the other launches, with the crew using this day to round up any nearby Dragonian civilians. The Grenia was unusual among the 12 ships that managed to escape Serinia in that it launched with a full crew of just over 1000 and only a few Dragonian civilians on board, with no humans at all.
==Uniform==
Jerakia wears a hybrid of the typical armour plating of normal army soldiers (chainmail under uniform) as well as a pair of gilded arm guards and a fancy belt buckle she received from her mother on her 18th birthday. When not expecting combat, she would wear the same uniform without the armour.
After the decimation of her species, she wears her armour all the time (except when in her underwear) after her species' decimation by Atheai Kilas due to the constant threat of attack.
Her large cloak has always been armoured, and despite it's considerable weight, Jerakia would always wear it while in uniform, even before she left the Sera System.
==Combat Style==
Jerakia uses her immense size and strength to wield heavy weapons, although she prefers not to put herself in danger by being on the front lines. Her first real combat was against the Serinian Humans in 1991 where she was considered a burden by her squad and personal guards due to the constant need to avoid her heavy weapon's fire from behind them.
Jerakia also carries a pistol on her at all times, which she keeps concealed in her sizeable cleavage. Yet despite carrying a pistol for most of her life, she can barely hit a target at most ranges with it due to lack of practice and it being used is a case of a last resort.
In close quarters, Jerakia uses her impressive size and strength to hit hard, often smashing her foes with heavy punches.
