Personal History		Born on the USS Medusa, just two minutes behind her brother, Freyja was quick to prove just how mouthy she could be… something that would never change with her. While she took after her mother, her brother had the slightly pointed ears that gave way to a hint about their father. A story that they would learn as they got older. Once the twins got old enough to make the trip, Amelia headed back to earth to surprise her parents. It was a surprise that was met with mixed reviews. Ultimately though, the twins quickly warmed their way into their grandparents heart. A good thing for that, as Amelia had a huge favor she was planning to ask her parents. Could they raise the twins? While it took a bit of talking and time, it was agreed that the twins would stay with them while Amelia went back to Medusa to continue her engineering career on that ship. With temporary guardianship given over to Amelia's parents, she gave a sad goodbye after her two week leave and headed out. As Starfleet can be, time went by and the twins grew up with seeing their mother at very random times. It was hard at first for the kids, they finally grew enough to understand why she wasn't a big part of their lives. But their grandparents made sure to show them lots of love and gave them the freedom to learn all they wanted. Between school and traveling the kids where given lots of interesting experiences to meet new people, species, and see new places. While both the twins new that Starfleet was their end game, after all it was it was in their blood. Their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and parents where all in the fleet, it was only logical they too joined, it was just a matter of what part they would join into. While Alex opted for Security, and eventually finding his specialized area of K9. She started in the science area, only to discover forensics. While Freyja threw herself into her studies and maintained top of the class grades, she also kept up with anything extra she could find do to, pushing herself to try anything and everything. Running, shooting, debating… she tried it all, after all it was illogical to just do the basics at the Academy, although her best friend tended to disagree with her on that. Graduating from the Academy, her brother went straight out to active duty. She on the other hand, opted to take one more year of specialty training, she wanted to get into crime scene forensics with her eyes on one specific ship she hoped to join. Halfway through that year, everything went crazy. Getting the message that her brother had been killed, Freyja headed back to earth for the services with her family. After spending two weeks with them, she finally got ready to head back… only to have a wrench thrown into those plans as she received a message from Commander Gorden to come see him at the K9 Unit of the Academy. Arriving for her meeting, she was introduced to Nyx… her brothers partner. While she'd seen pictures of the dog, they had looked nothing like the shell of a dog that was now in front of her. With Alex gone, Nyx had, for the most part, given up. Shown the dogs file, Freyja discovered the young dog had already had a rough time with bonding to her handlers. So the fact that she'd connected to Alex and then lost him, had made things even harder for dog. Logically, Freyja knew that if something didn't change, the dog would be dealt with humanly, but Starfleet preferred to try everything they could before doing that. Hence why she was there. As the two slowly gave each other a chance and learning to trust each other. She became the handler for her brothers dog, something that would put her into the ESU now. Slightly disappointed with the change, Freya was at least happy that this department would likely still put her going to the ship she wanted to be on… eventually. Finally... after four long years at the Academy, one short year Forensic Training, and one crazy year K9 Training, they were sent out to join the crew on the USS Artemis.
