## Biography

### Early life (414 ASB - 437 ASB)

Governor Small was born on M5-25 414 ASB in the village of Tang to a relatively well off family.

### Governor of Zhangtong (337 ASB - 440 ASB)

On M6-22 437 ASB Governor Small was approached by Herman Stanton who was a close friend of Small's parents, he informed Small that his company had leased the island of Zhangtong off the coast of the Gravel Continent and that he wanted her to help him establish and govern a mining colony on the island, Small agreed and set off for the island four days later accompanied by nine others who had been hired by Stanton.

Governor Small arrived at Zhangtong on M10-11 337 ASB and established the Zhangtong Colony, Governor Small declared herself the Governor of the colony. On M10-14 337 ASB an unknown mineral was discovered whilst surveying the island for resources, Governor Small named the mineral "Yinjing" and ordered her workers to begin extracting the mineral.

On M5-29 338 ASB Governor Small met with a representative from the United Peoples of Carbbonia (UPC) who had come to establish a new trade deal between the colony and the UPC, a trade route that would see the UPC purchasing forty percent of all of the Yinjing produced. Small told the representative that she couldn't approve a deal of such magnitude with the UPC, as due to the secrecy of the UPC she had no way of guaranteeing that the UPC would show up to collect their Yinjing and deliver payment. The representative added to his previous offer by stating that the UPC would in addition to payment also donate a large amount of supplies to the colony to support it's growth, Small accepted this offer. The first shipment of 'donations' arrived on M6-05 338 ASB in a Monoxidia-class cruiser, Small was invited aboard to survey her supplies and noticed multiple containers filled with food, water and mining equipment, she also noticed a container filled with rifles and two filled with ammunition, she asked the captain exactly on the ship was being donated, the captain informed her that everything on the ship save for the crew were being donated and that the ship itself was being donated.

On M6-30 338 ASB Governor Small had the colony divided into districts among them was Zhangtong City which would serve as the colony's official capital.

On M5-10 440 ASB the president of the Federal Republic of Greissen Joseph Staloam accused the Zhangtong Colony and Governor Small of multiple human rights abuses, Governor Small denied any such abuses but refused to allow Staloam's men to visit the island to conduct a survey to determine whether or not human rights abuses were taking place. On M5-12 440 ASB Governor Small was informed over radio that the Federal Republic of Greissen was sending an invasion force to the colony, Small ordered all of her naval vessels to form a blockade around Zhangtong to protect it, despite the majority of the fleet being severely undermanned. On M6-12 440 ASB the Greissen fleet began firing at the blockade, the undermanned blockade immediately began drifting out to sea, the forces of Greisen then entered into Zhangtong City and captured Governor Small.

### Imprisonment (440 ASB - 446 ASB)

Following her capture Governor Small was taken to Port Joseph in the Federal Republic of Greissen where she was held without trial until M9-13 440 ASB when her trial began, she was charged with "extorsion", "inciting revolution" and "Crimes against humanity" she was found guilty of all charges on M9-20 440 ASB and sentenced to one-hundred-forty years of imprisonment and hard labour. Governor Small arrived at the Central Pegmeti Prison Colony on M9-21 440 ASB.

On M3-04 446 ASB Governor Small was taken to the admin wing of the Central Pegmeti Prison Colony where she met with the new President of Greissen Theodore Thompson, Small instantly did not trust Thompson mainly due to having been taught about his actions during the Great Soil War. Thompson told Small that he wanted her to administer the Traydale Territory that occupied the same area that the Zhangtong Colony used to, Small agreed to the offer on the condition that the territory upgraded to the status of state to guarantee both it's continuation within the Federal Republic of Greissen and her own diplomatic immunity, Thompson refused to make it a state as it might weaken his authority in the country, he instead said that he would be willing to make it a commonwealth which both guaranteed it's continuation within the Federal Republic of Greissen and Small's diplomatic immunity. Small left for the Commonwealth of Traydale later that day.

### Governor of Traydale (446 ASB - present)

Governor Small officially became the Governor of the Commonwealth of Traydale on M3-07 446 ASB.
