## Biography

### Early Life and Career

In 4867 ASA, Feng Eastsun was born on Wallowind, a lunar colony of the Cassiopeian Republic. Feng and her family, the Eastsuns, were some of the first settlers on the moon, and so they were often hard at work when aiding with the construction efforts. Even from a young age, Feng was accustomed to a life of heavy lifting, digging, and tending to plants. While her family made sure she'd never succumb to extreme exhaustion from the work, Feng grew to enjoy the process of constructing new buildings and homes for new neighbors and friends.

By the time she was an adult, Feng was given the opportunity to enter military training under the Cassiopeian Military. She was trained on a newly-established military base on her homeworld and later transferred to Cassiopeia Prime, the galactic capital of the Republic, where she worked as an officer. Because Feng lived in a time where the Republic was in relative peace, she rarely saw any major destruction or warfare on a large scale. The most action she saw as an officer was whenever she had to break up fights between civilians or when pursuing criminals in high speed chases. The free time given to Feng by her job allowed her to pursue artistic and creative outlets. While working as an officer of the Republic, she sculpted works of art on the side.

### A New Life on Heilyne

By the time she was in her late 20s, Feng had grew tired from the noise of the city planet and the overall monotony of life. She wished to pursue a new path in life, and so in 4894 ASA, Feng volunteered to participate in an expedition to the planet Heilyne as part of a proposed colonization project.
