She's a slender Foreas of average height and weight. Her leaves are all colored a bright orange-ish red. Her skin's mostly white with some soft gradation of the orange-ish red on her joints and spine.

Due to ULSS regulations, she is often seen wearing a lightly coloured dress made of leaves when out of duty and a standard crew uniform when in duty. When she's cooking, she'll wear and use all kinds of protective gear to make sure the food is as clean as possible.

[b]Personality:[/b] 
Throughout her life in the Homeplanet, Teige was always taught to be kind to life, to be silent and to be curious. The silence part came easy. It came easy to all Foreas, the curiosity was not only easy, it was impossible for her to turn it off. And the kindness was difficult to learn, difficult to put in practice when she met someone unworthy of it, but she tackled it in the end. 

But even with her kindness, she was never able to bring herself to easily trust the beings made of meat and bone. She heard stories and she experienced the memories of the dead. The destructive nature of fleshlings scared her, it terrified her in fact. The thought of losing her and her planet's beauty to the wild actions of fleshlings was one that often had her awake and wandering at night. She'd always bottle it up when she was around the aliens, hide it under her leaves, as they said, but sometimes a fleshling would get too close and she would have no choice but to push him or her away, often forcefully. She is also creeped the hell out by all kinds of robots or AI.

She often feels lonely on the ship. With no other Foreas around and not much to do that fits her open-air lifestyle, she feels bored too. Spending her free time in the Hydroponics chamber probably doesn't help matters, either, as it reminds her of the Homeplanet and its luscious plantlife and greenery. 

She has no field experience using weapons of any kind. Sure, she's been through basic, but she was never the top student either.

[b]Species: [/b]
Foreas

[b]Species Origin: [/b] 
The Foreas have always lived in quadrant C17. The species was once a part of the Jujenkan Collective but after a series of ideological clashes, they parted ways.

Where to begin? What to say? The Foreas have never been a people to fight, they've never been accustomed to war and the aspect of sudden death that comes with it. Not even after a thousand years of war and loss have they gotten used to it. Born as a species in a small planet on the edge of the galaxy, their technological advance was quick and effective. Always one with the ecosystem of their planet, they managed to grow as a sentient species and not destroy their homeplanet in the process. By the contrary, they turned their planet more beautiful with each passing century. 

These days the Foreas are in contact with the USLL, having pledged alliance to them as an independent, nameless group. 

They're a rarity, seen nowhere else in the known galaxy. A species of sentient, humanoid plants. With dense, strong wood for bones and plant fibre for muscles and skin. Instead of hair, they've got leaves. As photosynthesizing beings, they need no food and thrive on incandescent light and water alone. Their ears can catch even the tiniest sound within a range of twenty meters. Due to their form of reproduction, a female can carry her seeds with very little change in her body and mental state. The female body is very delicate and lightweight, while the male body is better suited for physical labour and defending other Foreas.

[b]Character History:[/b]
Like all Foreas, Teige emerged out of her pod at the beginning of Spring, back in the Homeplanet. She was quickly found by a patrolling Caretaker, who took her and the other saplings to the local School, to immediately begin their education. It wasn't until her fifth year that she was released to wander on her own. For years she walked the roads and lived in the countryside, visiting one city and then the next one, until she finally stumbled into the Capital.

She never expected to see the Tree first hand. The biggest, brightest tree in the Homeplanet. It far surpassed any of the ecological buildings around it, penetrating the skies and its top being lost over the clouds. When she touched it, she immediately connected to it. She could not exit the Land of Memories for years to come. Five years swallowed by the tree, while her body just sat idle on the other side. She experienced the memories of countless figures of the past. Ranging from farmers to soldiers. From masons to World Leaders and Generals.

In her time inside the tree, she was entranced by the memories of the daring explorers of old who, against all odds, embarked on century-long journeys to map out nearby star systems. Their struggles inspired her to become one of them, yet when she finally found the way to exit the Land of Memories, she found out that she lacked the abilities to possibly be one of them. 

After physical rehabilitation, at the age of 18, she set her mind of one goal: becoming an Exploronaut. Nine years of studies and intense training began the day she left the Tree. But she was good at something else. Eventually it became known that she was an expert chef, taking it up as a hobby when she began training, and so the Exploronaut institution of the Homeplanet gave her the best training they could to have her become a Navy Chef. 

She wasn't happy with the outcome of her training. Being a Chef was neither glorious nor very interesting, and she'd never get to see the strange new lands for herself, in person. But she'd be useful in some way, at least. And she could watch the planet from orbit through the windows, too.

[b]Equipment:[/b]
There's not much equipment a Chef needs that isn't already existent in the standard ULSS kitchens. The only out of the ordinary equipment that she carries is a set of custom designed Steel Bark (toughest wood in quadrant C17) kitchen knives and a bag of Foreas traditional spices.

She's got a pet flower, a red rose, which she keeps in her quarters.

Without the ladders that go up and down, of course.

[b]Misc Info:[/b]
A Foreas can live up to over two thousand years in peaceful circumstances. Usually, the older they get, the feebler they become, even though their skin doesn't suffer from wrinkles and their leaves never fall off. 

Foreas Sap and leaves are extremely poisonous to most mammals and reptiles. 

If correctly treated, Foreas Sap can be a delicious, sweet additive to a meal. And though it is legal in most places to consume this additive, most Foreas will despise you for consuming their life fluid.[/center][/hider]
