## Early Life

Born in Chiba Japan in 2367. Even at an early age, Jolie was able to catch on to most things that others that were older than she was were unable to. This prompted her parents to enroll her in a gifted program when she was four years old. During her early years of schooling, Jolie found that most of the other students tended to come to her for problems that they had. This usually had an adverse effect on those around her as she could solve almost any problem. This also caused her to become a target when the school bullies found out about her problem-solving abilities. They would pressure her into doing their homework with threats of physical punishment, which she found out the hard way one day that she chose not to do an assignment for one of the bullies. The older girl left Jolie with a black eye and a busted lip.

When her father found out he confronted the school’s principal, who defended that bully as it was his own child. This lack of confidence in the school system forced Jolie’s father to teach her how to defend herself. As the years progressed Jolie took what she learned from both, her academic and personal life, and began to teach herself how things worked in the judicial system of the Federation.

When she was 16 her school sent her on a trip from Chiba Japan to San Francisco California USA to attend a private function held by one of the Federation’s prominent members of society. She learned how the Federation’s policies for law and peace worked. Just before the last day of the function, Jolie was offered to ride along on a diplomatic escort of an alien species. Along the way, the escort came under attack. She was ushered away but not before she caught a glimpse of a woman dressed in a yellow uniform. She had learned about the Federations Starfleet but didn’t fully understand what each color of the uniform meant until she turned to one of the people that had escorted her away. They explained what each color represented and what function each color had as a responsibility. Jolie returned her attention to the woman in the yellow uniform and watched how she handled herself. She was mesmerized by what the woman was doing.

From that point on Jolie knew what she had to do. She studied everything that she could find on what it meant to be a Starfleet Security Officer, and on her 18th birthday she graduated from High School in Chiba Japan. She took a shuttle from Toyko back to San Francisco to attend an entrance exam to join Starfleet.

Even though she worked hard and studied even harder she failed her first attempt at joining the academy. Her family supported her decision and encouraged her to try again, not that she needed it. She knew what she wanted and knew that she was going to need to study even more. While she waited for the next entrance exam she joined a voluntary civil police force and moved into an apartment in downtown San Francisco. It was there that she found a passion for working out. When Jolie was not on patrol with the police force she could be found in a gym with a holopad in front of her or an auditorial devise connected to a holopad in her ear as she worked out.

## Starfleet Academy (2388-2392)

### Fresman Year, The Sovereignty of Kahless

Even though it took her four years to finally make it into the Academy, Jolie knew that her dream of becoming an Officer, more importantly, a Security Officer, had just begun. In 2388 dressed in a crisp grey uniform she stood next to her fellow cadets as she listened to a briefing from the Commandante of the Academy. It was about the Sovereignty of Kahless and how it could pose a threat to the Federation. Jolie didn’t need to look around to know that a lot of her classmates were nervous about hearing this news about a rouge Klingon named Ma’rek. Throughout her Freshman year, Jolie studied everything she could about the Klingon’s, most of which was common knowledge to the public, but she wanted to make sure that her final exam on the Warrior species was flawless. Much to her amazement, she was recognized for her attention to detail and tactics on the Klingon species, even though the information that she provided was common knowledge.
