Katie

Katherine Katie Cumali is a crew member aboard the Sakura. Working as the ship's barterer, she uses her womanly charms to navigate to better deals and jobs from contacts. Katie is charismatic, but strongminded, however can play the innocent girl card anytime she bats her eyelashses.

Early Life
Katie was born in Europa in 2064 to a poor family, and in 2080 she was sent to Deng'Shi to study at the Geisha House of Shangri-La. Katie, being the strongminded girl that she was, escaped the House when she was 18 and fled to New Honshu. The Geisha training she recieved allowed her to channel her charms, and barter her way around for a year, until she met Adam Mayne and Gwen in 2083. Adam and Gwen at this time, old buddies from being kidnapped by Smugglers in 2075 took in Katie, who had no place to go. Together, Adam, Gwen and Katie had dreams of making enough money to live, and the end their life in the Bounty Hunter Trade which was highly dangerous.

Crewmember of the Sakura
In 2087, the three won a game of Bazaar with some Smugglers, who had bet their ship, a Xiang-Class Transport which they called 'Dragon's Bane.' The three finally had a ship which they could call their own, and a permanent home, and went into the Freelance Trading business, employed a Pilot, Jim and a whizkid mechanic, Steven. For several years the group travellled the world looking for work, and money to keep flying, and became a close family-like structure, of which Katie had had nothing like before.

When the Crew got caught up with the shadowy revolutionary group, The Martyrs, Katie made no hesitation to turn from barterer to soldier.
