Name: Marcia Halpern
Loyalties: Ringovinda StarYards
Role: Personal assistant to Charzon Loulan
Development Threads: If necessary
Age: 29
Species: Human
Force Sensitivity: No
Appearance: See above image
Personality: Can be a little ditzy at times but at other times she can be level-headed; sometimes curses memories of her schooling, especially as it relates to graduate school, and also considers her memory as a curse
Weapon of Choice: Taser pistol (D-level)
Wealth: Nothing out of the ordinary, but not impoverished either
Combat Function: She would be a liability unless at close range; she is a little myopic
Skills: Computer hacking, starship repair
Notable Possessions: A taser pistol
Other Notes: As a child, she was known as a prodigy of the humanities, whereby she pursued her studies in literature all the way to the doctoral level, dropping out with ABD status (i.e. mastering out; on Ringo Vinda one undertakes graduate school directly into a PhD program and MAs are awarded if one leaves graduate school with ABD status) due to "traumatizing medical issues", from which she took years to recover. After spending five years on Assurance-Chômage, Ringo Vinda's unemployment benefits system, she was finally employed by Ringovinda StarYards due to the company's longstanding policy to prioritize hiring people who have been longtime recipients of unemployment benefits provided they were otherwise fit for the job.
Her job was once jeopardized due to a terrible mistake. Nevertheless she kept the job despite making one horrible blunder about Phenex Industries' needs for drydocks.
Intent: She is a character there to assist in the corporate operations of Ringovinda StarYards
