| - Amelia Ravensdale, though by all accounts a particularly loquacious and verbose person, has mostly remained quiet on the question of her previous life to those few who have met the Sivadian woman since her relocation to New Luna. Nonetheless, several of the facts of her life are no secret. Her mother, Alice Morgan, is a talented doctor and cybernetics expert who designs, installs and maintains cybernetic implants for the Sivadian military- her father, Dorian Ravensdale, a professor of chemistry at the University of Angier-on-Nova who had once taught Alice several years before. The pregnancy was difficult and the birth traumatic, resulting in Amelia's continued existence as an only child. Even at a young age, she exhibited signs of a quick, remarkable intellect. By the time she was nine, she had demonstrated herself a mathematical savant with the ability to manipulate large numbers in her mind with effortless ease. Amelia received an excellent education from private tutors at home, living a closeted and solitary life with only pets as companions until she was 13. Late in 2996, she and her father were both injured badly in a street robbery gone terribly wrong- Amelia's left eye was slashed open when she panicked, while Dorian was stabbed several times as he tried to defend his daughter. Months of rehabilitation returned Dorian to normal, but Amelia was forced to have her eye replaced by a cybernetic. Her mother designed a special prototype just for her daughter, installing it in a remarkably short time- six months from conception to inception. It seemed to work perfectly fine, however, serving not only as an eye but as a datajack when powered down. Once it was installed, Amelia attended public school for the last four years of her education. At first a dowdy girl who paid little attention to her appearance, she found herself the butt of constant teasing enough that by the time she was seventeen she began to take extreme care with her appearance. This led to the girl, always confident in the intellectual sphere, gaining an equal self-assurance in the social sphere that served her well in the next step of her life- being accepted to the University of Ynos to study computer programming. The thorough nature of her education resulted in a six year study plan in which the woman received both bachelor's and master's degrees in programming without a break between, going on immediately to find lucrative employment in a large business software firm. This happy state of affairs continued for a couple months before, without any warning, Amelia quit her job, cancelled her apartment's lease, and decamped to New Luna, leaving a successful life completely behind.
