Biography

Early life

Caroline was born on Naboo, late in the year -3 CGT. Her father was a young Alderaanian man smitten by the beauty of a young Nabooan woman while on a business trip. Caroline was the result of one passionate night, afterwhich the pair would not meet again for several years.

Growing up wasn't very hard. Caroline's mother's family had a decent chunk of credits -business had been good once, before the family had sold it all and lived off the interest-, so little Caroline never lacked a thing. Though she was always rather average compared to her cousins. She started walking and talking at your average time, and didn't really distinguish herself overall.

At the age of 4, Caroline's formal education started. She attended a private school that the family had attended for generations before her -just because she didn't have the Sommers name, didn't mean she wasn't one of them-.

By the time she started secondary school, Caroline was an avid sportswoman. She played several sports, and swimming became her favourite pasttime. She loved being in, and around the water and spent every moment she could doing what she loved.

At around the age of 14, Caroline's father joined her life. He had returned for another business trip, and found that he had a daughter. After this, he came to visit as often as he could, but even so Caroline was lucky to see the man once or twice every three months. Nonetheless, she loved being able to see him at all.

Imperial Academy

At the age of twenty, Caroline applied to, and was accepted into the Imperial Academy. Despite some people in her life urging her to stay, Caroline wanted to go out into the galaxy. This was clearly part of her Merlyn genes, everyone noted when she promptly ignored everyone.

Academically, Caroline scored very well, earning a 94.86% on her theoretical exams --just barely short of graduating with honours. She then started her practical assignments, and flew through them with remarkable speed. On day 263, of Year 17, Caroline graduated from the Academy, and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Imperial Army.
