Physical Description		Jane is average in terms of height and weight for someone from her homeworld, but Terrans might describe her as taller and slimmer than average. She is fit to within normal Starfleet health standards, but prefers to spend her time in a garage than a gym. Jane's skin tone is very slightly tan, reflecting the multicultural history of the Proxima colony. Many would say she is pretty, and since she began seeing Alisha she spent more time to maintaining her appearance. When not on the bridge, Jane prefers more comfortable variations of the duty uniform that permit her to get dirty in a machine shop or maintenance bay. She regularly wore a coverall jumpsuit when working at the Proxima Maintenance Yards, and that became her preferred uniform even when she entered the Academy and when she was posted to starships as an officer. Off-duty, Jane's style is eclectic and usually very bright. Jane's accent is typical of those from Proxima Colony, which superficially resembles a midlands England accent. As a native of Proxima Centauri II, which has a gravity of 0.68g, Jane’s bone structure is weaker than most Humans. She tires a bit more quickly under heavy exertion, and her bones are likelier to fracture.

Family

Partner		Alisha Reno
Relationship Status		Engaged
Father		Robert Sinclair (deceased)
Mother		Ellen Sinclair
Other Family		Jane had a fairly large family, which keeps on growing. Family was always an important thing to her mother, and became important to her as well. Her mother was always talking with her siblings, and so Jane grew up very close to her maternal aunts, uncles, cousins, and eventually nieces and nephews. Because her father died before she was born, and his family was so small, she lost contact with that side, but because of the lessons in family her mother taught her, she eventually reached out and became close friends with her father's older brother as well. She’s maintained a number of very close friendships with people from the Interstellar-1 scene, including in particular T’Ren, the team principal of Proxima-Renault Racing.

Personality & Traits

General Overview		Jane grew up on the Proxima Colony and spent a significant amount of her time growing up in maintenance yards and garages, as well as in the air. She learned how to fly ships of various sizes at a young age and fell in love with flying fast. She has close ties to her family, most of which are still on Proxima. She tries to make friends wherever she goes. She had not had much success with long-term romance until she met Alisha on the Helena. She has a strong view that fascism should be resisted at all costs. This has gotten her into trouble before.
Strengths & Weaknesses		+Mechanically-inclined. Can rebuild and repair shuttlecraft components with her eyes closed. +Very gifted pilot with quick reflexes. +Very hard-working. +Quick to act (good, rapid instincts, especially behind the helm). -Speed demon. She has been chastised for flying shuttles in ways that to her are perfectly safe and in control, but are outside Starfleet standards. -Quickness to act can lead to bad decisions. -Can be unsure of herself when trying new things, especially if underprepared. -She cannot cook to save her life.
Ambitions		Jane has wanted to be a pilot since she was a small child, and most of her ambitions are still directed to flying. She wants to spend some time behind the helm console of as many starships as she can find (ideally even non-Federation ones). She continues to have a passion for small craft racing. If she ever left Starfleet, she would without hesitation want to try re-entering the Interstellar-1 Championship. Otherwise, she is content where she is, flying starships for the advancement of Starfleet’s mission, alongside the love of her life.
Hobbies & Interests		If left to her own devices, Jane would gladly spend all of her spare time in shuttle bays or garages, tinkering with engines and flight controls. As a teen, she designed and built her own shuttle and used it to travel throughout local space. As a racer, she spent a lot of downtime with the engineers of her shuttle. She also has a great interest in reading, particularly old science fiction and depictions of future technology that are set in her relative past (but the author's future). She sometimes uses the holodeck to race shuttles but doesn’t find it as thrilling as the real thing. She does enjoy holonovels, especially where she and/or Alisha are the heroes doing incredible deeds all while looking fabulous.

Personal History		Jane Elisabeth Sinclair was born and raised in the city of Cochrane on Proxima Centauri II (Proxima Colony) in 2336. Her father was a Starfleet shuttle pilot who was killed in an accidental crash a month before she was born. Her mother, a mechanical engineer at the Proxima Maintenance Yards, raised Jane by herself, though a large extended family throughout the Alpha Centauri System meant that the two were never truly alone. From a young age, Jane took great interest in her mother's mechanical work, and while she proved very skilled at building and repairing small craft, her true talent lay in flying. Inspired by the stories of the father she never knew, by age 10 she knew her way around the control consoles of almost any air- or spacecraft and by age 12 she was winning local shuttle races, including the Amateur Centauri Grand Prix in 2348. That got her in the door of Interstellar shuttle racing; she was offered a backup position in Interstellar-3 on the Yoyodyne-Toyota team. She was given two races a year in that spot at first, and then half a season at age 14. When she was 15, she won the Interstellar-3 races at Tellar and Ophiucus, leading to a promotion to Interstellar-2 at age 16, she won the Andorian Sabres classic. All the while, her mother insisted she knew everything about the internal operations of the ships she piloted, so that in any emergency Jane could repair any damage and save her own life, as her father had not been able to. As a teen, Jane worked in what little spare time she had to build a custom runabout that she would use to visit a variety of local worlds, spending holidays on Earth, Andoria, and Trill, among others. When she turned 18, she was offered one of the spots on the Dytallix-McLaren Interstellar-1 team. But as much as she wanted to race, she also wanted to contribute. She made arrangements to serve part-time in an enlisted capacity at the Proxima Maintenance Yards. She had leave to travel to race locations and participate, so long as she returned home to serve her duty shifts during the necessary number of working days and during the off-season. When she was 23, she was offered a contract at Proxima-Renault, which she took. In the final months of her term with Dytallix-McLaren, she won the Deneva Grand Prix, her first ever Interstellar-1 win. She would go on to win four more times during her two years with Proxima-Renault, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Interstellar-1 Championships of 2359 and 2360. At age 25, she was given a choice: rise through the enlisted ranks on a permanent basis, quit to pursue racing, or finally earning her pilot’s wings in Starfleet as an officer. She chose the latter, enrolling in Starfleet Academy for an accelerated 3-year program. She was also able to retain a backup slot on Proxima-Renault and could compete on an ad hoc basis, whenever races were within a few parsecs of Sol. At the Academy, Jane was quickly recognized as being one of the best, most natural flight cadets around, but her instructors also recognized her need for discipline and patience. During her Junior Year, she was given the assignment of piloting the twice-daily trip from Earth and Titan and back. She received four citations for excessive speed and was eventually grounded for a month and given remedial training and duties (despite her objections and appeals, during which she stated that she was always in complete control despite her excessive speed; the magister was always sympathetic but insisted she follow the rules). She swore to learn and do better. Eventually, early in her Senior Year, she was given another assignment, the thrice-weekly run between Earth and Eris Station in the Oort cloud. During one of these flights, the ship suddenly lost power and, given their distance from Earth and the small size of the ship, they couldn't expect rescue for some time. While her copilot and some of the passengers panicked, Jane donned a space suit, beamed to the outer hull, and managed to find and bypass the problematic area of the shuttle's power system, restoring impulse engines and permitting them to fly to Eris Station without further incident. One of her passengers, one who kept his cool but chose not to intervene and see how the crisis played out, was Commander Richard Demers, CO of Eris Station, returning from a conference. He watched Jane take control of the situation, calm the copilot and passengers, and lead their way out of trouble. Commander Demers put in a good word for Jane, and recommended that upon graduation her skills be put to good use right away, even going so far as to suggest she be immediately made Chief Flight Control Officer aboard a ship that needed it. In April 2364, Jane graduated from the Academy and was given the rank of Ensign. She was also made Chief Flight Control Officer aboard the Excelsior-class USS Repulse. Jane would be among the first new crewmembers to arrive from Starfleet Command as relief crew for those lost in a recent disaster. She served under Captain Solis for nearly four years. While she was there, she became very good friends with one of the engineers, a joined Trill named Ami Rori. Their bond became like that of sisters, with Ami calling Jane Oni-chan and Jane calling Ami Imouto. In 2367, Jane was promoted to Lieutenant junior grade and assigned to the Ambassador-class USS Helena. It was here that she met Alisha Reno. Alisha was the Chief Intelligence Officer of the Helena, and within a week of both coming aboard, Jane found herself in Alisha’s office to ensure she had the right credentials to access intel files needed for her job. They formed a tight friendship, which over time turned into something more. She picked up early on that Alisha had previously been the actress Alexis Silverstar, and during a date in which Alisha appeared as her other persona, they both re-entered the public spotlight. After some press coverage, Alisha had been cast in the lead role of a Voltron film, and at the end of filming had been captured by people she’d been watching for Starfleet Intelligence. She’d been tortured and slated for execution, but she was rescued at the last minute by Jane and a mutual pilot friend, Mia Amaro, who had disobeyed orders to beam into the enemy compound and retrieve her. Jane had spent some days in the brig after that rescue, but it was worth it. Alisha was alive. In early 2370, Jane faced a tribunal related to potential Maquis sympathies. She’d been heard previously referring to a desire to ‘fight fascism in all its forms’, remembering a particularly serious mission facing unscrupulous colonial administrators on the fringes back in her days aboard the Repulse. Her loyalty was proven, but she was left with a sour taste in her mouth from how ruthlessly Starfleet Security had gone after her. In late 2370, Jane flew the ship on a mission to recover an away team shuttle, which had been under fire. Their friend Mia, flying a Peregrine fighter in support of the rescue op, sacrificed herself so that the shuttle could survive. Her loss deeply affected Jane, who realized who in her life was most important to her. A week later she proposed to Alisha, and she said yes. Partway through 2371, Jane and Alisha had each been offered senior positions aboard the USS Ermiana, a Galaxy class starship. They joyfully accepted.
