| Personal History | Jayde was born on Bajor to resistance fighters. Her mother, a Vulcan, was on Bajor when it was taken over and stayed to fight with the Bajorans. Jayde has a twin sister, Jayna. The two grew up in the resistance and learned quickly to spy on the enemy and to get information. They both became expert trackers, hunters and computer hackers. The two would often work in tandem to find information. Their unique methods earned them respect in the underground and later the Maquis. The girls were 11 when their parents were killed in an ambush. They stayed with their cell until the liberation, at which time they both joined the Maquis. Jayde was an expert tracker, sniper and "extractor." She could take out an opponent or two before they knew she was there. She and her sister could often find information the Federation and other governments wished kept secret. It helped them survive and thrive. When the Federation allowed the Maquis to help during the Dominion War, the girls transferred to Starfleet in exchange for a full pardon. Jayna went into Intelligence. Jayde went into infiltration and security. The two started on the same ship, but were soon separated as some crew were uncomfortable with the two Maquis who, in their opinion, had too much access to Starfleet Intel. The Captain trusted the women, but felt it better to separate them for the good of the crew. Jayde's desire to help the underdog and do what she felt was right helped smooth the way for her transition from Freedom Fighter to Defender of the Galaxy. She still has a weakness for people who are being oppressed. And she still has a tendency to use unorthodox methods to achieve her ends. So far it hasn't gotten her into too much trouble. She uses meditation to keep her centered and balanced and tries to be logical, but she is a non-conformist at heart. Early in her life Jayde fell in love with the Shao-lin philosophy. She studies under a Shao-lin master (although it is now on a holodeck). She still keeps up with her information gathering skills and methods. She tries to be discreet but she always knows what's going on -- especially on the starship to which she is assigned. |
