## Origins

Mesi was born to Shar and Isla Afshak in Posecada. She moved to the Core, away from her parents, looking for a fresh new start at the Marlowe Academy. Both her parents had a seaweed farm, the greatest in Rose, and despite her parents supporting whatever she wanted to do in the future, she knew worst case scenario she could return to her parents' farm and carry on their seaweed legacy. All she ever knew was Posecada and its traditions. Moving to the Core she discovered a passion for spaceships, the origin of her decision to study to become a pilot. Her studies required her to go for two years on the Rimulus Station to learn flight control.
