Character Name: Shiraishi Kotomi
Biography: My name is Shiraishi Kotomi I was born on an old pirate station. My Bretonian Father Colin used to run a liner the KiraKira.
Before that happened though he was a smuggler he didn't haul just passengers but also cardamine of the viscous variety from the Omicrons to Bretonia then Kusari and loop.
It was majorly profitable for him and pirates very rarely caused issue not as long as the crew had anything to say about it and above all of them my Mother Io.
She was the best pilot I was told every fight was a lightshow. They made many good friends those of which were the ones who raised me most notably my 'uncle' Manthas.
In an effort to keep this log small I'm going to jump forward to the incident.. that is before my birth.
On a run between Bretonia and Kusari my Mother was nearing the end of her pregnancy and I was expected only a month away and then as we entered Kyushu something strange happened, Kusari Naval Forces blockaded the route my Dad used to avoid the regular patrol areas plus for the passengers it was more scenic.
The group of escorts we were meant to be meeting wern't there... well not alive it was noted by the helmsman according to the blackbox that debris matching the identifiers of who we were joining up with was in the vicinity drifting. They already knew about the Cardamine someone had snitched.
My father offered no resistance to them and shut down the shields and allowed them to board through the docking bay but according to Manthas when they got out of their ship one of them immediately without hesitation pulled a gun to my father and shot him. They weren't there to take prisoners. As the crew had realized what was about to happen a fight broke out but they had no chance. Manthas with a few others started tailing back to the upper decks to find my Mother and warn the rest but the Navy started boarding from the outside of the ship. When Manthas found my Mother with some of the officers they... they had injected the pure liquid cardamine into her. In an effort to save her Manthas had shot both the men holding her hostage.
They escaped by using the boarding vessel that had attached to the ship from the outside. The fuel reservoirs had explosives planted on them in case of an event where the ship was deemed lost. My Mother in her hazed state handed the detonator to Manthas and when we were far enough he clicked it.
He said the dust field went from a shimmering blue to bright orange and within a second. Everything the surviving crew of the KiraKira had worked for turned to nothing.
After that we junked the ship at a pirate station my Mother knew and traded for a transport.
She had an addiction to Cardamine during the last few weeks of her Pregnacy It had been suggested I was born early because of this and I too was born into Sirius with this addiction but my mother didn't make it all I had was Manthas and a few others.
He taught me how to fight and how to moderate my addiction and my fury. The first ship I got to fly was a Scimitar and the majority of the work I did in my teenage years was hauling components to and from pirate bases. I eventually learned to fly some junkers that sat in the scrap fields playing bumpers with others in larger ships at slow speeds.
As I grew of age so did my hatred for the KNF and those who had wronged my family. When Manthas got too old to handle the gyroscopic forces of his ship he handed me a gift.
My mothers fighter helmet. A bronze colored helmet with streaks of White and Red recovered from the floating wreckage of the KiraKira.
My name is Shiraishi Kotomi daughter of IO and Colin.
