Background:
Avanoa le Gataifale used to be a marine in The City of Bridges. She was a squad commander when her entire unit was wiped out during an engagement and Avanoa herself was left barely alive and grievously wounded. She recovered as well as could be expected, but her injuries left her unable to continue her career in the fighting forces and she was honorably discharged. Not content to retire and become a veteran just yet, she spent all she had on implants and augmentations that restored some measure of her combat capabilities. In some respects she's both more and less than what she was.
She had fully intended to return to the army, but found that she could not deal with the loss of her unit and the psychological scars she had suffered were impairing her ability to function at the level she demanded of herself. Seeking some peace and quiet, Avanoa moved to the small town of Sandpoint, where she took a job in the local guard. The sheriff is glad to have someone with her experience and background, but he is also concerned by her reclusive behaviour. She has few connections among the townspeople and even her fellow guards cannot claim to know her all that well; her spare time is spent mostly training, sleeping and taking long walks in the hinterlands around the town.
