     Character Information
     ---------------------

-Name: Sylrena Reding
-Age: 21
-Sex: Female

-Occupation(s): Solarian Government Worker

-General Appearance: Sylrena is a young, blond haired girl with bright blue eyes.  She has fair 
		     skin and a soft complexion.  There does not seem to be any facial blemishes
		     or scars on her face.  Her hair is golden blond, straight, and cut shoulder 
		     length.  

-Voice: She has a soft, very feminine voice.  Not at all forceful.

-Dress/Attire/Jewelry/Weapons/etc:  Sylrena is dressed in a standard-issue Solarian government 
				    uniform.  The only piece of jewelry is a small ring on her
				    left hand.  The ring is silvery, with a small, blue gem in 
				    the center.  Her only piece of equipment is a silver rod,
				    attached to her belt.  It is the only weapon carried by 
				    Solarian government agents and is basically maintained for
				    self-defensive purposes only.

-Personality: Sylrena, on the outside, is an upbeat, cheerful girl.  However, as all government
	      agents are trained to be this way, it is quite misleading.  Sylrena, when alone,
	      exhibits slight depressive states.  She is not emotionally unstable, but is rarely
	      seen showing signs of happiness of content.  On the job, Sylrenia is loved by all
	      her peers, but she is rarely seen with anyone else off the job.

-Background and History: 	Sylrena is the daughter of a once great Gebler commander, 
			 Mercuran Swanson.  Commander Swanson was in line to become the next 
			 commander-in-chief of Gebler, except for a slight problem.  Commander 
			 Swanson was an outspoken critic of the Solarian treatment of the Lambs.  	
			 He had kept most of his ideals and plans to himself as he rose up the 
			 ranks, but once he gained power, he expressed his views to the dislikes
			 of the Gazel Ministry.  The Gazel Ministry, knowing full well the 
			 destructive influence that a Gebler commander with such views can cause,
			 orchestrated a mock operation for Commander Swanson.  The operation, kept
			 a secret to much of Gebler command, led to a mysterious death of Reding.
			 Along with the death of Commander Swanson, his wife Rhina mysteriously
			 disappeared, leaving behind their only daughter, Serena, who at a 
			 capable age of 16, left her house and ran off to live with a few of her
			 closest friends.
				Upon discovering the mysteriousness of her father's death and her
			 mother's disappearance, she changed her name to Sylrena Reding, and went
			 out on her own.  She received aid from her friends when she could, but
			 managed to do quite well by herself.  Strangely enough, though her DNA
			 scans would indicate her lineage, she has been able to escape discovery,
			 though she has no idea that the Solarian government is involved.  She 
			 managed to land a job working in the Solarian security and customs 
			 department, and has been a security operator to this day.

-Relations: Father - Mercuran Swanson (deceased)
	    Mother - Rhina Swanson (missing)
	    No other relatives, only close friends   

-Hobbies: Spends plenty of time reading.  Has an interest in the military, but knows she has no 
	  chance of joining the Jugend Academy.

-Current residence: Solaris
-Current Life Conflicts: Upon the sudden appointment of Ariath Dracorte as the Gebler commander-
			 in-chief, which caused his popularity and exposure to skyrocket, Sylrena
			 has taken a quiet interest in this dark and mysterious man.  For one 
			 reason, she believes that only he could be able to help her find out 
			 what really happened to her father and mother.  Also, it sure wouldn't
			 hurt if she had a slight crush on him.

-Other notes: Sylrena, along with other agents indiscrete agents, have often been used by Mordon
	      and the Gazel Ministry to keep track of Ariath's off-military actions, which 
	      Sylrena first jumped at the chance.  Quite frankly, anything to just watch the 
	      guy...
