She enjoys her work and takes pride in it. She is friendly, open and generally happy, a fun loving individual always up for a joke. She is generally a good influence however has been known to play the occasional harmless practical joke.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Juliet was born at sea, her parents were similarly in the Merchant Navy and served aboard the same freighter together. Her father was a bridge officer her mother one of the canteen staff. Juliet's childhood and upbringing was almost entirely aboard ship. Her education handled by her parents where possible and others of the crew at a communal 'school' of sorts for the few children aboard.<br/><br/>Growing up aboard ship Juliet was exposed daily to all manner of shipboard life, yet she found herself constantly drawn to the machine shop. There was something about taking a dead or floundering machine and returning it life that spoke to her deep down. Always a bit of a tom boy and a mischief maker it seemed a good way to keep the girl out of trouble so her parents turned a blind eye to it. By the time she was ten, when she wasn't studying, she had pretty much asserted herself as a mechanics mate. By fourteen this arrangement had been formalized to an apprenticeship.<br/><br/>At sixteen Juliet left the comfort and familiarity of freighter she had been living on her entire life to study Mechanical Engineering in a formal way in mainland UK. She attended Southampton University while also working on ships in the docks to help pay for her tuition and her accommodation. She gained her masters at the end of her four year course and found herself working at the docks for a while as an on call Engineer.<br/><br/>The money was very good, yet there never seemed to be enough work to go around and Juliet fast found heself becoming terminally bored. The mischief bug set in pretty hard and it was certainly time to move on to greater things after she pulled an all nighter rigging her bosses office to slowly degenerate over the course of the following day into a heap of bits and pieces of furniture.<br/><br/>Finding herself a commission in the Merchant Navy was fairly easy with her background and skills and Juliet settled into life aboard ship again for a number of years, earning a reputation for doing exceptional work with limited materials.<br/><br/>The offer to train for and possibly be a part of a mission to Mars was quite a large shock, a new challenge, one beyond imagination, and one that Juliet jumped at.<br/><br/><strong>Other info:</strong> Julie does not tend to reveal her given name as Juliet to anyone. She prefers to go by Julie.<br/><br/><strong>Avatar:</strong></del><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a3/Petty_Officer_Juliet_Franklin.jpg)
