## Biography

### Early Life and Later Career

In 5553 ASA, Dalila Vaascosa was born on the planet Yilleycit in the Sokhong Sector, a tundra world and, by Dalila's lifetime, a recently annexed colony of the UCR. She was the older sister of Yerim Vaascosa, born just a few years before him. Growing up, Dalila would sometimes cook meals for her brother Yerim when her parents were away from home. As a child, Dalila took on a great interest in music, having learned many different instruments at a young age. When Dalila grew up, she maintained this musical interest as a hobby.

By the time Dalila was an adult, she worked as a low-ranking administrator for the Yilleycian Parliament, serving the bureaucracy as someone who filled out complicated paperwork and dealt in government office politics. Both Dalila and her brother Yerim served the UCR to some capacity, with Yerim having enlisted into the Cassiopeian Military.

While Dalila worked as an administrator on Yilleycit, she tended to a small, personal greenhouse at home. This gave her fresh ingredients for cooking and experience on how to raise and tend to crops and plants in general. In her 40s, she adopted a pet Skyor Terrier named Flower, and the two became close companions.

### Crash-landing on Gaeron
