She appears distant, but not necessarily cold. She can be quite friendly
at times and she's strong with a sharp mind. She also has the ability
to blend in wherever she goes, much like a chameleon. Being Tanzaran
does help. Though she doesnt trust easily, if you win her trust,
youll be keeping it for a long time to come. She also has a thing
about protecting kids.
Jaya was born on Tanzaria as Christianna Lisette Webb with her twin
Christian Jarrodin Webb. Her father was a teacher and her mother was
in the medical research field though she doesnt remember much
about that time. A few years later Tanzaria was attacked and they were
killed. Her and her brother were taken from Tanzaria and raised by another
family. Eventually, Christianna found herself as a doctor, with a forte
in Medical research.
While doing work for Starfleet, she met David Avante, a Starfleet Intel
Officer. They hit it off so well that only six months later, they were
married. Their happy union was filled with jobs they loves, vacations
together, but their greatest moment was when they had their daughter-
Emily Rose Avante. Though Christianna and David kept working, they lightened
their schedules to be with their daughter as much as possible.
Then when Emily was six year old, devastation struck. Christianna had
come home late from the lab having been on the verge of a breakthrough.
But just as she arrived home, and was approaching the walk up to the
door, it opened. But just as Emily began running out to her with David
smiling behind her, the house was engulfed by a fireball. David was
dead almost immediately, but Christianna managed to get to her daughter
and hold her. She watched Emily die.
After that, all Christianna wasnt to do was die. Alexander Conklin,
who knew her and knew her husband well knew that he had to do something
to help her through this or he would lose her as well. Finally, he offered
her a job, a very dangerous job, but one he knew she would take. It
was to become Jaya Bourne the assassin known as the Black Tiger
so that she could take down the Dark Shadow, another notorious
assassin. In fact, the assassin that had bombed her house killing her
family.
The day her family died was the day Christianna Avante died, and Jaya
Bourne was created. She trained hard and became the best at what she
does. But she felt empty and dead inside. The house she was set up in
was on Parissean III, but after so long, she needed to get away. Encouraged
to find a place to relax, she found herself on Serenity. After acquiring
a place to stay and doing some exploring, she ended up meeting Tyran,
the owner of the Starlight Inn. There was instant chemistry and for
the first time in six almost seven years, she began to feel alive again.
Its something she hasnt felt in a long time, and her contact
isnt sure its a good thing.
