## Early Years

### Nursery

Jarra's impulsive and emotional behavior dates back to her Nursery years. When she was either four (according to Keon) or two (according to the General Marshal), there was an incident in which an abusive caretaker, called Nurse Cass, was forcing children to eat slugs as punishment for wrongdoings. When Nurse Cass left her lookup on a table, Jarra locked her in a storeroom and called Candace. Hospital Earth Inspectors fired Nurse Cass, Keon was scolded for insolence, and Jarra was scolded for disruptive behavior. The discrepancy in Jarra's reported age at this incident may be due to Hospital Earth tampering with the documentation of Jarra's childhood that they gave to the Military, resulting in the General Marshal having incorrect information.

### Home and Next Step

Jarra's Home was Home E161/8822, and her Next Step was Next Step E241/1089. The exact age that children move from Home to Next Step is unknown, but the youngest known character to live in a Next Step, Wren, is 12.

At age 9, there was an incident in which a bully called Nial threatened to cut Issette's favorite stuffed animal, Whoopiz the Zen, in half, but Jarra and Ross intervened. At some point that same year, Jarra's Home was threatened by a forest fire and all of the children in the Home had to spend two days in an evacuation center.

At age 10, Jarra's Home in Earth Europe would have been hit by power cuts resulting from damage to the Earth Europe Solar Array. This event is never seen from her perspective, however. *(Further reading: Hestia 2781, Array 2781)*

At age 11, Jarra attended her first Dig Site trip with her school history club. Her teacher, Crozier, approved of her attendance as she had passed her Gold Safety Award, and Candace gave consent. However, she had a falling out with her ProDad after he refused to give permission, and she forged his consent to attend anyway. During the trip to New York Fringe, she had a difficult time and experienced bullying from her older peers, who believed she was a waste of club finances. Crozier convinced Jarra to stay another day after asking to leave the trip early, and she then ended up saving the team 1 tag leader after he fell into a hole with toxic fumes and punctured his impact suit. She was the only one small enough to be lowered into the hole in order to seal his impact suit and refresh his air supply before a rescue team arrived.

With the history club, she goes on to become a tag leader by age 13, which is a year younger than most students join as novices. She becomes team 1 tag leader by age 15. *(Further reading: Earth and Air)*

At age 14, Jarra was given a code to request information on her biological family, but she swore to never use it. She was also, like all wards of Hospital Earth, offered the chance to make one attempt at portaling off world, which she did take up despite everybody in her life trying to dissuade her. She spends a week in a hospital after the attempt, and the data on her immune system collected while in medical care is later used to improve her chances at surviving the immune system override procedure in *Earth Flight*.

By age 17, Jarra is an accomplished young history student with extremely good preparation for a career as an archaeological researcher with University Earth. She gets her pilots license with lessons from the pilot George Gradin, and after he says she is slow putting on her impact suit, she learns to suit up in the Military standard time of 2 minutes.
