[indent][color=gray]Straightforward and focused, Mina is a youth attuned for the rigors of command. Outspoken with her plans, Mina requires everyone to be on board with the mission details, primarily to ensure the pilots under her command stay alive. Nonetheless, unforeseen circumstances may always exist on the battlefield; something Mina has trained her to easily adjust to in a calm manner. Mina has zero tolerance for glory seekers who rush into the battlefield without thought. Seeing them as trouble makers, Mina is quick to reprimand them, especially after having to bail out a number of soldiers showcasing bravado on the battlefield.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=skyblue][b]Mina Barakat[/b][/color] [color=gray]was born within Morocco, where her family, among others, helped to supply the French war machine against the BETA. The demand for manpower and natural resources was always needed, and so the colonies were hard pressed to produce for the front lines. Nevertheless, young children were given the same free reign they usually had, and so for most of Mina's childhood she had lived as a normal child as if the BETA were nonexistent, yet everything would soon change. France had fallen to the BETA by 1985, and thousands of refugees had suddenly appeared in the Moroccan homeland.

Many of the French had distraught appearances, and some were not keen to be forced into the colonies that had been mostly exploited for their own gains. Despite this, Mina quickly made friends with a French girl, Elise, who was just around her age. Together, they forged a bond of friendship, ignoring the odd looks that the French refugees would give them. The girls didn't care for the differences between them; All they wanted was to have fun like the kids they were despite the hardships both refugee and native were now facing after the fall of the French homeland.

However, the world soon caught up to the children, and they were conscripted among a number of others to fight against the BETA. The training showed itself to be nearly unbearable, but by the end, Mina and Elise had come out on top, much to the instructors' surprise. In Mina's case, some looked up at her with envy, feeling a lowly Moroccan shouldn't be scoring so high. A few had been more vocal than the rest, but their complaints were silenced by the instructors. Nonetheless, this didn't stop her "comrades" from mocking her heritage or harassing Mina where the ears of their superiors failed to reach.

Mina did her best to ignore the harassment, and continued as she always did. Finding her knack at commanding early on, Mina was allowed to help direct the Mirage 2000s as they went across to Europe in various BETA culling operations. During this time, Elise had been at Mina's side the entire time; their bond showcasing their greater skill that the French military was eager to take advantage of. Rather than cast away natural talent in old obsolete TSFs, Mina and Elise were given new third generation TSFs: the Rafale--a machine destined to destroy the BETA.

And destroy the BETA it did. In a world-wide operation dubbed Operation Ouka, Mina and Elise would experience their defining moments in hell on earth. Used as a distraction force, both girls had seen carnage that day, watching pilots die to the BETA faster than they could blink. Their ammunition had nearly bled dry before they were recalled back across the strait. Both sides suffered thousands of casualties, yet before the girls could realize the effects of the operation, they were given a new calling. Sent to the UN's 231st "Grey Wolves" battalion, Mina and Elise were given new orders as part of another world-wide operation; this time to cleanse the world from the BETA.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=gray]Upbeat and courteous, Elise keeps an outlook on life that many would not consider during the bleak circumstances of the BETA invasion. Despite losing her homeland, Elise knows mulling instead of acting will accomplish nothing, and therefore she looks forward to each day as if it was not possible to be her last. Nonetheless, Elise's perspective has brought comparison to her being a "boot licker" considering how positive she is day to day, especially considering her tight-knit relationship with a Moroccan pilot (despite both of them qualifying as French citizens). While Elise denies these rumors, not everyone is keen to cast their doubts aside.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=plum][b]Elise Allaire[/b][/color] [color=gray]was born in the heartland of France, a few years prior to the BETA invasion of the country. Her father and uncle had been shipped off to war early on, leaving Elise with a faint memory of her relatives while her mother and herself awaited for their return. Nonetheless, the triumphant return home never came, only calls for evacuation. Germany had collapsed shortly after reunification, and France was next on the chopping block, which by then was a bloodbath. A desperate struggle was had, but the tide of BETA could not be stemmed, leaving the French with no choice to abandon their homeland.

Forcefully evacuated to French Morocco, life as a refugee was harsh for Elise. Substance was mediocre, and at times the heat could be unbearable, yet pure chance would play its way in Elise's life. Meeting a young Moroccan native by the name of Mina, Elise would soon form a bond that would last a lifetime. While some of the French evacuees weren't keen on being "buddy buddy" with those from the colonies, Elise had no problem skipping rocks across the sand or making sand angels with Mina. They had formed a bond of friendship, and the two girls couldn't careless what others may have thought.

Yet in a world ravaged by the BETA, no one escapes the threat of military conscription. Perhaps it was her family's military connections or the need for TSF pilots, but once of age, Elise--and Mina--were called for conscription. The training had been grueling for those who were still considered children, but the unbreakable bond would continue to outlast the hardships. Impressing their instructors, Elise and Mina would graduate the top of their class with superb scores, although bringing the jealousy of others along with them. Around this time, Elise would finally meet her uncle, who sadly informed her that her father had fallen on the battlefield years ago.

It was a sad reunion, but together uncle and niece would be thrown in the same TSF flight. Given Mirage 2000s under command of her uncle, Elise and Mina would be sent to cull BETA across Gibraltar to reduce their foe's numbers. The fact that they survived the fabled "eight minutes of death" more than once was surprising, but what was even more surprising is that they had been doing their duties exceptionally well. Eager not to waste such talent in soon obsolete TSFs, the French Army had placed the cadets in the mass-produced third generation Rafale to use both talent and superior machinery to their advantage.

A few years had passed, and together the girls had gained a considerable kill count as they grew ever so close to each other, yet disaster prepared to strike again. Operation Ouka would commence, and so would hell on earth. In a world-wide operation that claimed the life of countless pilots, Elise and Mina would fight against the BETA until their ammunition ran dry. The mission was a success, but there had been countless casualties on both sides; their deaths almost forgotten in favor of a new undertaking. As part of the French contribution to the UN, the girls were placed in the 231st "Grey Wolves" battalion, in hopes that the planet would soon be freed from the BETA.[/color][/indent]
