Kalia Lei

Kalia Lei (July 28, 2418) is a high ranking Marine militia officer, and Terran Imperium defector. The genetic daughter of Julie Lei and presumably Tiberius, but later genetic scans show a hint of Ryder DNA. Twin sister to current Terran Imperium Emperor, Kaikoa Lei. Raised in the Washington DC Time Dilation Camp, she was trained in numerous forms of combat, martial arts and leadership training. Once she was out in the field, she developed a reputation of getting results and answers out of prisoners. Eventually being promoted to the role of Chief Interrogator. A bit reckless in her 'youth' shortly after entering the 'real world', she took chances and enjoyed risking her life, much to the chagrin of her mother and brother. Wasn't until she had lost her leg chasing after some Imperium prisoners, that she started to change her ways. 
She was fast growing disillusioned by the Empire her mother was grooming her and her brother to lead, the moment of clarity happened when she was tasked with getting information out of a captured Ethan Talon, bonding with him over their shared artificial limbs. Developing something of a crush on him, but knowing that he had someone 'back home' she didn't really act on it. But she did do more for him than other prisoners. When he was finally freed, she realized that she couldn't continue to serve in the Imperium. Much like her 'sisters', Olivia and Angelica, she had disowned her mother and defected to the Alliance. At first simply providing Imperium intelligence, but later finding that she wanted to do more. When the opportunity came to serve in the Alliance Marine Corps, she jumped at it, mainly because of her friendship with Ethan. 
Finally finding the purpose she was missing, she embraced her new life as a Marine commander.
