[b]Name:[/b] Diane Trenton [b]Callsign:[/b] Trench [b]Age:[/b] 35 [b]Species:[/b] Bovine [b]Appearance:[/b] (plz ignore name and text. All credit to artist on FurAffinity. Warning for no clothes, but nothing shown) [hider=Appearance] [img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4509/37815348951_a556e3e2fd_h.jpg[/img] [/hider] Has a faded, crescent-shaped scar running from just above her left hip in an arc down to below her navel. When not in uniform, wears practical yet stylish clothing; jeans, sneakers or boots, checked shirts, T-shirts and such. She is 6' 8" tall, and surprisingly strong for her build. [b]Bio:[/b] Diane - or Di, to her friends - is a lively, outgoing and friendly sort. She cares greatly for others, and is an honorable, trusting, and loyal person. She has a strong set of morals and rules she follows both in and out of combat, and strives to do well by others and expects the same in return. She gives other the benefit of the doubt and trust, but will be relentless and devastating if crossed, and to those she sees abusing their own positions of power and responsibility, or preying on the helpless and innocent. Despite this caring and compassionate nature, she is not naive nor ignorant; she is firmly aware that hard choices have to be made, and something circumstances and life do not allow the best outcomes every time, and the best must be made of a situation - even if you have to do awful things to help others. Knowing these choices come up, and the hardships that she and her pilots must face (especially with her own personal life and history as part of the equation), she tries to do the best to care for and look after her people, lending somewhat to her reputation as 'team mom'. Despite her large size and build, she is nonetheless physically fit, strong, and more than able to do her job to the exceptional degree she does. She has a confident, and occasionally cocky, forward approach with most people and can be quite flirty on occasion. She has an outgoing, cheerful and even occasionally brash personality, and loves to socialize, especially drinking, and eating out with her friends and comrades. She can be the life and soul of a party, and loves to throw a party as much as going to one. However, this outgoing and boisterous personality hides her doubts, worries and fears and some of the painful memories of her past. She is a good listener and loves to support others, but will often be somewhat reluctant and hesitant with revealing details about her own past and background. She keeps in regular contact with her parents, who are very proactive, supportive and encouraging of her career, and like to stay involved in her life... for better or worse. She loves them, but sometimes feels they are a bit... much. [b]Service Record:[/b] Diane enlisted into DefCom out of college. She graduated with high marks, and entered the GEAR pilots' program immediately. She struggled with some aspects, and chafed against discipline. Struggling, she eventually found her place and role, and proved herself to be a model pilot. She received recognition and was awarded medals for valour and conspicuous gallantry for putting herself into the line of fire to save civilians trapped in a hostile area during a border skirmish, and rescuing fallen comrades. Following this, she was promoted and worked extensively with an air assault unit, and as a forward combat controller, and served with DefCom's Special Forces for a four-year period. Opting for further flight training and moving more into the area of testing and evaluation, she was transferred to the classified 'Nightwerx' R&D Facility in the Nightshade Mountains, where she assisted in the development of the V-GEAR's combat tactics, and the organization of the SOCT units, as well as several exchange duties with front-line fighter units. She also underwent additional training in aerospace operations. As the first VG-0 and SOCT units came into service, she applied for a lead position in a combat unit, and received the post as head of the Black Knights, a role she is proud to have, but harbors some anxiety about.
