Deb figgered there needed to be another thread as the old one was loading slow due to SO many pictures - I do agree, so here is a new thread to carry on with.
The old thread can be found thu this link:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=17&t=3530
I'll post the synopsis here in the alpha post of this thread as soon as I distill it from the original and add in the changes.

Here is an interesting fact I found.
A Dragonfly is the fastest insect in the world. It can fly at 30 to 60 miles per hour! You may think - Not very fast in comparison to the fastest animal, the Perigine Falcon (100 to 200 MPH).
I wonder what a Dragonfly's 'scale' speed would be? Considering an average Dragonfly is only 50 to 100 mm with a wingspan of 80 to 150 mm, compared to a Perigrine Falcon at 400 mm to 510 mm in length and a wingspan of 915 mm to 1112 mm.

NOTABLE MARKINGS ETC:
If seen outside her burka - Elaborate Toltecah tattoos done in cobalt: across cheekbones, around wrists up to her forearms, ankles to thighs, abdomen and a few other, undisclosed areas.
KNOWN HISTORY:
Approximately 6 years ago a small 17 year old, beaten and nearly naked, female collapsed in the Emergency ward at a hospital on Ariel. She was clutching the remnants of an Alliance card that the authorities were able to retrieve her name and Alliance, ID number. After a satisfactory background check, the Authorities added her case to the nearly infinite case log with similar Modus-Operendi.
She lay in a coma for 3 months. Post coma, the Doctors thought she had suffered brain damage due to her inability to speak. Brain damage was never truly established as she forged ahead in therapy with an uncommon intensity. Slowly she began to speak, but rarely. While in therapy, it was noted that she had a natural talent for organization and cleaning so efficiently, that it indeed made a visiting Drill Sergeant tear up a tad. Although her metal faculty recovery was nearly miraculous, yet she still seemed emotionally withdrawn and untouchable.
With nothing more they could do, they released her with a fresh Ident card and access to her accounts that had been held in trust until her recuperation. Of course, after remuneration for her stay at the Hospital.
With this finite capital, she embarked on an itinerant lifestyle. Moving from job to job, planet to planet, she solidified her 'underground' reputation for attention to detail. Never advertising, she never was at a loss for clients.
