Origin group: Liberty Navy, Secondary Fleet Join Date: -
Certifications: Advanced/Expert Space-Combat Training; Perfect scores on Advanced, above-average scores on Expert.
Basic/Advanced Ground Training, moderately good shot; prefers hand guns. Near-perfect scores on Basic, average on Advanced.
Next to no leadership training - do not put her in charge, she will panic.
Additional information:
- Combat capabilities excel when she pilots her personal BDR-804 "Guardian" Very Heavy Fighter supposedly named "Layla", or simply "Ray" whenever she believes herself to have failed in anything related to the vessel, which is very rarely seen, her confidence in herself being outstanding.
The ship itself is identical to the majority of the other Guardians, with the exception that Ms. Hawkins holds a great emotional attachment to it, her morale and overall combat prowess increasing greatly whenever she pilots it. Not advised for her to pilot any other ship of the same kind (Snubcraft), Ms. Hawkins' usual optimism and pure dedication to come out victorious being significantly reduced.
- Is a patriot down to the bone, would never do something that could endanger Liberty's health in any way.
- Descends into laziness once she goes through a multitude of uneventful days, becoming greatly unmotivated but quick to recover when needed.
- The Bretonian accent passed down from her mother may sometimes surface whenever her spirits are up, or she is greatly frustrated or annoyed.
Notes: An excellent pilot, loyal and motivated. If she wasn't always as easy I could count on her ability in combat. It is a sad day. - Admiral Victoria Knight, 824.04.01
"Where in the world did you find this brat?" were the first few words her flight instructor spoke the very moment Hawkins opened her mouth during her beginning days of her training. "Hopeless, unskilled, won't survive long. But damn is she determined to push on forward. Say the words 'I give up' around her and she'll write you down on her hate-list on the spot." That alone sums Hawkins up.
Miss Hawkins is, indeed, incredibly young compared to numerous other Lieutenants. While it's true that it may seem rather odd that such a youngling managed to climb up the ranks in such a short amount of time, it was well-deserved by any stretch of the word.
Her first live-action 'tests' were against the Rheinland Military, which she fortunately passed, managing to survive more than one vicious explosion of her craft whenever her flight skills just weren't enough to pull it off. However, each and every time she got back on her feet, she resumed the battle in full force; transforming into a true thorn in Rheinland's side by the end of it, her last vessel - "Ray" - having formed a powerful bond with it's pilot, Hawkins believing herself to be virtually unbeatable while piloting said vessel.
Unfortunately, Miss Hawkins was not capable of being there during the Leeds defense, and only took part in a small number of campaigns against The Kingdom of Gallia, myself having considered her at the time to be a more valuable asset to Liberty whilst inside it, not on it's borders, not in Bretonia. The war against Rheinland proved it to be so; Hawkins taking the shape of a powerful shield instead of a sharp sword.
The continuation of Miss Hawkins' career was based inside Liberty space, The Hellfire Legion being her biggest enemy without a doubt, herself being put against a significant number of brawls with the deserters. Supposedly, they have tried persuading Hawkins to join their ranks - multiple times - and if my memory serves me right, one such occasion included the Legion using force. As you might expect, the young Lieutenant managed to push through and succeed in keeping her patriotic sentiments where they always were, keeping her vessel intact for a good while until reinforcements came in, leaving her room for a daring escape, pulling it off with grace and talent.
I have no doubt that you will find Hawkins to be a valuable asset to you and your Battlegroup, Miss Knight. I wish you all good luck.
