Nawanda Sato (D18)

Nawanda Sato (born 25 years before the Cylon War) is a restless young woman from Picon. She is an Engineer (mining) working for the 'out of systems' Operation of a Caprica Mining Company and understands her work is rather important. Friendly, sociable and a relaxed person by nature, her work does stress her though. Originally she came to the job thinking it would be easy cubits but has since found it hard, isolating work where she'll typically spend six to eight months out of the Four Systems with a Mining Team and four months off back in the Colonies.

Her life is spent stranded aboard a Mining 'Mother' Ship where she'll be investigating data the probes brought back, writing reports or drafting feasibility studies. Her time off is spent interacting with the same geologists, engineers and miners everyday and as a person who likes new faces this does bother her and she'll shut herself in the ship gym when frustrated by it (everyday). She relishes changes to her schedule and routine, and will jump at the task of going down to an asteroid, moon or world even if its a bit hostile to survey the place because its a 'change of scenery'. She has a private pilots licence and has bullied and charmed her way behind the controls of the ship's shuttles on a few occaisions; she is good friends with the attached shuttle crew. But the most fun and what brings her the most release is when the Mining vessel pulls into a fringer port for a few days; it is a good chance for her to go wild and splash that stash of cubits she earns while aboard. When she returns to Picon she goes back to 'civilized' mode and lives normally though lavishly. She has been thinking of leaving the mining sector to do something 'more'.

Traits
Blonde haired and blue eyed, with a rectangular face and distinct features; she looks easy going and sure, the kind of person who works hard and plays hard. Broad shouldered and tall, she is athletic and cannot be mistaken for otherwise- being the workout fanatic that she is. She finds exercise a balancing force that allows her to sweat out anxieties and irritations leaving her feeling great afterwards. Not intimidating, she can throw her body around but prefers 'play fighting' instead and is usually seen being touchy feely like that while enjoying a laugh. Her style is 'sporty' though she enjoys having her hair done and being made up whenever is practical because 'if you look good you feel good'.
