Allyria te Neu

Allyria te Neu is a Verrish born on Vara Tal, and was taken when she was nine years old as a part of Envoy Children program. After she graduated high school she joined the Compact military academy as a Janissary, with the intention of eventually deserting. She joined Red One and became part of the warship's crew after its encounter with the CSFWV Bequeathed.

Appearance
Like all Verrish, Allyria is taller than most other races, standing at around eight feet.

Personality
From a young age, Allyria held a contempt for the Compact bordering on hatred for their conquering of Vara and the genocide of Humanity.

Early Life
Allyria was born sometime after the Compact's conquering of Vara Tal, and told stories of Red One's visit to the Verrish homeworld. Because of this, she never trusted the Compact like her younger peers, and maintained plans to betray the Compact since before she joined the Space Force. She was selected for the Compact's Envoy Children program and sent to Rally as one of the oldest Envoy Children, meant as a role model for her fellow younger Envoys. Initially fostered by the Parker family, she was taken in by Anna Proctor after her rebellious tendencies proved too much for her foster family. She was prone to tantrums because of conflicting accounts of Human history and what she'd been told by her older relatives, and frequently got in trouble for contradicting her teachers. Most of her fostering was with the Proctor family, more specifically under Anna Proctor.

She eventually became friends with Grace Proctor after being comforted after one of her rages. Even after becoming friends, Allyria constantly got into fights with her ruling species peers, especially Tribunes, over Human and Verrisha intelligence and history. She also had longstanding disagreements with Grace about Human and Verrisha technological advancement, from her knowledge of Red One and the The Compact-Confederacy War.

Once she graduated high school, she joined Rally's provisional space force, becoming the first and only Verrish to be enlisted. She was to be representative of the Compacts hopes for Verrish to successfully integrate. She joined with the intention of using what she learned to defect from the Compact, and partially to stay with Grace, as Grace had also decided to join the Space Force.

The Last Angel
In her final year of study under the Compact military academy at age 21, Allyria, along with the rest of her class, was assigned to the CSFWV Bequeathed to take part in a training exercise: a shock to the nearby Terrahope system. During the battle simulation after the shock, she noticed a drive wake left by the UECNS Nemesis leading to the system's primary star and stopped the simulation. After the Bequeathed was brought closer to the derelict and clear readings were taken, Allyria instantly recognised the warship.

Allyria was selected as part of the boarding party to explore the inactive Nemesis, along with several of the graduating class and higher ranked officers. As she explored, she was the first to notice that the boarding party was being watched and noticed several anomalous contacts, however upon bringing this concern up with her superiors, she was dismissed. Undeterred, Allyria continued exploring on her own and following the unseen watchers, finally confronting them in an empty corridor. Nothing came of the contact, and Allyria was allowed to leave by Red One.
