## Biography

### Early Life and Adulthood

Born on the planet Imithi, Andrea Coffey grew up with a long list of fears as a child. While she was raised on a relatively peaceful world with little to no hostile wildlife, Andrea would use RuneNet to read all about the various types of dangerous wild animals found on other worlds throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy, as well as all the different illnesses she could contract from food. With these fears instilled (some more rational than others), Andrea grew to be much more comfortable preparing food for herself and staying far away from wild animals.

By the time she was an adult, Coffey got into the medical field and became a nurse. As Imithi was particularly renowned for its contributions to United Cassiopeian Republic healthcare, Coffey was given intensive, quality schooling without having to leave her home planet. She became accustomed to tending to patients and keeping them company in their time of need. The routine work of hospital life gave her much expertise as a medic.

### Crashing on Cephor III

In her late 30s, Coffey was transferred to another medical institute off-world, located in the Outer Expanse. During the journey through space, her vessel was sabotaged and sustained much internal damage. With no other choices left for her, Coffey managed to flee the destruction of the spaceship on an escape pod, while also managing to escape death at the hands of space pirates, albeit with stab wounds. She crash-landed on the boreal world of Cephor III, situated by the inner northeastern edge of the Outer Expanse.

#### Joining Crash Coast

Coffey was heavily injured when her escape pod made contact with the surface of the planet. She was dangerously close to succumbing to her wounds and dying, but was miraculously saved by a small group of colonists living nearby. Coffey was brought into Crash Coast, a small settlement established by others who also crash-landed on Cephor III years before Coffey did. Originally, Coffey had intended to leave Cephor III once she recovered, but found that Crash Coast had no spacefaring vessels that could accomplish that task. She decided it was best for her to stay in Crash Coast, at least for the time being, and eventually found herself becoming a fully-fledged member of the community.

## Personality and Traits

Many knew Andrea as a rather pessimistic and depressive individual, often finding it difficult to sustain a happy mood even if everything around her seemed alright. She was never too ambitious throughout her life and greatly valued stability and comfort. Having grown up with a long list of fears as a child, Andrea always carried a sense of caution when it came to approaching most things in life. She managed to become a much more rational person in her adulthood, able to tackle most problems with a level head. The only things that she could not face rationally were wild animals and acts of violence, which scared her deeply.

Outside of this pessimism, others knew Coffey as an incredibly intelligent and well-educated woman, with a geeky and eccentric side. She loved to read and learn more about all sorts of things as a child, and this habit stayed with her into adulthood, which made her a fast learner. Her love for the pursuit of knowledge also fueled her creative side, as she also enjoyed sculpting as an artistic hobby. While she was somewhat unorganized and socially awkward, those who knew Coffey valued her contributions to the community and appreciated her quirks.

## Skills and Abilities

She was an expert caretaker for the ill and injured, and knew a number of different recipes that kept the meals that fed Crash Coast refreshing and interesting. Having been a well-read individual, Andrea also had acute knowledge on agriculture and crafting. As a hobby, she sculpted works of art as an expression of her creativity.
