Arcadia Samantha Williams wasn't much, nor did she have much really to start with. She was a girl who was born on Proteus Three to a mother who was always away from home and a father who had died a year after Arcadia was born. After getting into fights at her school, causing a ruckus, and getting into street fights, she finally met a person who changed her whole situation.

Captain Amelia was the person who saved Arcadia's life. The Captain had been hired to secure a cargo of miscellaneous goods and transport them back to the person who had purchased them. While Amelia was on the planet she had witnessed Arcadia getting into a fight. She saw how Arcadia could adapt to the various fighting styles of the men who were harassing her and was immediately intrigued.

"You there, girl." Amelia called out to the barely teenage girl.

The girl let the body of an incapacitated, four legged alien drop to the ground before turning to face what may be a new opponent. When the girl's stiff purple gaze rested on the feline Captain, who was wearing full Captain regalia, she immediately dropped her fighting stance.

"What d'you want, miss?" Arcadia yelled back.

"Where did you learn to fight so well?" Amelia asked her, stepping closer with her hands clasped behind her back.

Arcadia narrowed her eyes, wary of the newcomer. "Ya pick up a few things, livin' like me."

Amelia's left ear twitched at the lower class cant the girl was using. "So, you're accustomed to a harsh environment, correct?" All truth be told, the girl piqued Amelia's curiosity.

"Aye, what're ya makin' of it?" Arcadia asked, her muscles now completely relaxed and hands in her pants pockets.

"I'll be honest with you. My crew could use a girl such as yourself." Amelia said bluntly.

That was one thing that the girl wasn't expecting. "'Scuse me?"

"You heard me perfectly well. I want you to join my crew. We'll be heading away from here by noontime. You have three hours to decide. I'll be at the port until then." Without another word the feline humanoid walked back to the ship, leaving the girl confused beyond reason in the middle of an alley.

Sure enough when noon came, the girl had packed what little things she owned and stood on the dock in front of the Captain and her First Mate, Mr. Arrow. He scared her beyond reason at first, due to his large and stone-like presence.

Soon enough they were off to the person that had bought the goods currently stowed in their cargo.
