The Shimoe family: a tale of three siblings.

[WesternPeregrine]

Mizuki (美月） Shimoe
Female, 24 years old



Mizuki Shimoe is the youngest of three brothers who lived on Planet Junyo, in the Shikoku System. A daughter of a fishing and transportation manager, she grew up learning some things related with cargo transportation and commerce networks in Kusari.

In her youth, the War for the Tau Systems occurred. Mizuki's father, unfit for combat duty but having knowledge of cargo systems, was assigned as a crewman for a supply ship for the Kusari front, where supposedly it wouldn't come to harm. However, the unexpected strike from Galia into the Tau Systems caught the Kusari Navy by surprise. Losing track of the fate of the ship, it's unknown if the father managed to escape to Bretonia with the Emperor's fleet, or if he was lost on the onslaught.

The disappearance of her father had an impact on her in the same way has it affected her brothers. Under her uncle's guidance, she continued to learn about trading and navigation. When she became an adult, she told her mother and uncle that she wanted to head into space like her brothers. The departure of her older brother Hiraku into freelancing and of her brother Katsuo to the Navy had put some strain on the family relations. Furthermore, Mizuki's desire to become a trader require an higher investment for it to be successful. Mizuki uncle decided to enroll her on Kasaoka Trade and Interstellar Relations University in Honshu. The move came as a surprise to the people known of the family, because most of the business in Planet Junyo belonged to the Samura keiretsu, while the university was associated to Kishiro.

In the years that she was in the university, she came in contact with many of her future colleagues and competitors in her trade, elements of the new Kishiro backed political circles in the Honshu system, and members of the GMG. Trough the connections of her brothers she had some news of the Kusari Navy developments and the situation in her home system.

Graduating from the university, she was hired by a Kishiro transport subsidiary, and made some runs inside Kusari space, to provide support to her family business at home.. After a few months she was accepted into the Kishiro ranks and took command of a transport called Kishiro|Tengu, and assists in helium-3 extraction operations regularly.

She rose up in the ranks due to her diligence and business tact, and in 821 was promoted to Director, and put in charge of several commercial projects for Kishiro.

In a corporate reorganization a few months however, she was removed from her position and sent back to the shipping divisions. She decided to head back out as an affiliated Kishiro trader and miner, working on her own.
