			<blockquote>''"The Eddings family doesn't have sons. We have daughters." - Gran''<ref>''[[Earthrise (Fiction)\|Earthrise]]'', Chapter 16</ref></blockquote>

			==== Early Years ====
			She grew up in one of Mars's giant hemispherical habitats, "the sixth stop down the rail" from Blue Station, in a township "barely larger than the crew complement on the Alliance's warcruisers" (so slightly over 1000 people). The Eddings household looks like a cottage with a basement twice as long as the ground floor, abutting the Wall. The front lawn was anchored by a eucalyptus (later cut down) that Reese climbed and hung a hammock from as a girl. As a child, she rebelled against the course of life laid out for her by her family: "No evidence would convince her that she wasn’t any good at merchanting... especially if it meant limping back home to her mother and grandmother and enduring their censure for using her inheritance on her misguided determination to break free from the pattern of their lives. Their plan had involved Reese staying on Mars and continuing the Eddings clan with another anonymously-donated batch of sperm. That she’d had other hopes had broken her mother’s heart and angered her grand- mother, her aunts. Even her nieces had found her outrageous."<ref>''[[Earthrise (Fiction)\|Earthrise]]'', Chapter 8</ref>

			With her inheritance, she took out a loan on a Vespa-class trading vessel, the TMS Earthrise, to begin her career as a merchant trader. She acquired Allacazam, then ran into trouble that required her to look to an unknown "benefactor" to bail her out of her financial difficulties, which was later revealed to be Liolesa. Six years later, Liolesa called in her favor to send Reese to rescue Hirianthial; at that time, Reese had had her crew for roughly three years: the twins first, then Kis'eh't and finally Bryer, "when she’d realized she would never do more than break even relying on contractors and the ship’s automated functions to do the work."<ref>''[[Earthrise (Fiction)\|Earthrise]]'', Chapter 2</ref>

			==== Lady of Laisrathera ====
