Background
Exerpt from 'Looking Forward' by Billy Collins
Whenever I stare into the future,
the low, blue hills of the future,
shading my eyes with one hand,
I no longer see a city of opals
with a sunny river running through it
or a dark city of coal and gutters.
Nor do I see children
donning their apocalyptic goggles
and hiding in doorways.
All I see is me attending your burial
or you attending mine,
depending on who gets to go first.
Immediate Family
An extended family from her home planet, including a smattering of brothers, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and so on and so forth, most (nearly all, in fact) who are in some sort of science field or another. They're out there, somewhere.

Physical Features
At 5'6" with 120 pounds of lean muscle and a bit of female flesh, it might be difficult to believe this woman to be any sort of physical threat. Pale ivy eyes are near to grey, perhaps her most striking feature, and are filled with an inquisitive intelligence that has proven to drive others to distraction and or retreat. Scars are visible on her person, dependent upon her mode of dress, but the easiest to spot is that which slashes through her right eyebrow. Others often seen are a jagged rip from left wrist to elbow, a nearly matching long scar along her right, definitely made by knife and similar to that of correct suicide attempts. It is a bit forgotten by time, but fresh enough to remain a mild crevace in her skin. Finally, a very new sliver down her same-sided cheek, new as the healing scar on her left arm in fact.

Trivia
Kaja's a fatalist with a fascination for explosives and electronics, with a few scars to prove some learning experiences along the way. Not one for sleep, she's often found after hours in one of three places: the galley, the BioChem lab, or the Athletics area.
