Biography
Reese is 32 years old during the events of Earthrise. [1]
Six years prior to the events of Earthrise a mysterious benefactor, later revealed to be Liolesa Galare sent Reese an encrypted message and enough money to get Reese out of debt. [2]
Most of the crew of the TMS Earthrise were hired 3 years before the start of the book Earthrise. Reese hired the twins (Sascha and Irine) first, then Kis'eh't 3 months later and Bryer 1 month after that. [2] The exception to this is Allacazam who had been with Reese for 7 years Earthrise begins.
Reese was in the Mediplex of Starbase Kappa for 2 days, having her esophagus "repaved" (ie, replaced) by Hirianthial. [1]
During the Solstice Vigil, Reese received a stack of patents from Kis'eh't, a joint calligraphy scroll with Hirianthial from Bryer, a Founder's Stone on Mars from Irine and Sascha (plus new nightclothes and underthings from Irine, all tasteful). A peach to coral ombre velvet hooded cloak, lined in cream colored satin and fur was next, plus a fillet of gold with three stones in the middle, two cabochon rubies roughly the size of Reese's thumbnails and between them a tawny fire opal known as the Dorolith opal, roughly the size of Reese's thumb. It was part of the Jisiensire jewel trove and was gifted to Reese from Hirianthial. From Liolesa, a choker of apricot-colored moonestones and rubies, faceted. It was not a historied piece, ordered due to the colors chosen for Laisrathera not being common in the gem hoards of Ontine. [3]
