Biography

Early life

Caroline was born on Naboo, late in the year -3 CGT. Her parents were settling down on naboo for Caroline's birth, but soon after they had to leave. They left Caroline in the hands of an old friend who grew to be an aunt, and a member of the family for Caroline. As her father was due out on another mission, he and his wife, Caroline's mother, left, and didnt return until 14 years had passed. Caroline inherited an Emerald Eye trait from her grandmother, which is present in the Merlyn Children of Kairi Merlyn (Deveraux) and Jasper Merlyn. Caroline is the younger twin sister of Callum Merlyn, and the older sister of Rahni Merlyn.

Growing up wasn't very hard. Caroline's family had a decent chunk of credits -One of Caroline's ancestors had been the Queen of Naboo, and the family had strong business connections these days-, 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 same 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.

After returning from a business trip, Caroline's parents rejoined her life. After this they came to visit as often as they could. But with them both being aligned to two different factions in the Galactic Civil War, Caroline was lucky to see them 4 times a year in secret. She enjoyed seeing what she could see of them, and each and every time, it ended in arguments due to the fact that they were rebels and each side tried to get the other to join them. Caroline was too loyal to the empire to ever be a rebel as she grew up with Imperial ideals and had a strong connection to her Imperial Grandmother Bailley Zion before she died. She has no knowledge of her Grandfather just as her mother didnt know who he was either.

At the age of 16, Caroline was in the running to become the Queen of Naboo. She lost, however, by a very small margin. Even though she lost, the fact that it was so close earned her and her family a fair amount of prestige, and they used this to secure a number of high level positions. This included a job in government for Caroline. At the age of twenty, Caroline had seen all she wanted to see of Naboo for a while. She was comfortable, but didn't want to stay there. Too old to really run for Queen again, but too young for any good job, she decided to build a life in the Empire.

Imperial Academy

After leaving Naboo, Caroline applied to, and was accepted into the Imperial Academy. Despite some people in her life urging her to stay at home, Caroline wanted to go out into the galaxy. This was clearly part of her father's 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.

The Army

Following Caroline's commissioning, she was assigned to a brigade just returning from a long assignment. There were a lot of jobs to do for her, and she did them dilligently. As a reward for her excellent service, Caroline was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant on Year 17, Day 353.

While serving in the Army, Caroline met an unfortunate fate when she was tragically killed. While she and a number of troopers in her platoon were cleaning their weapons, one of the troopers negligently discharged their weapon, instantly killing the young Lieutenant.
