			3) Aaaand nope. No nod to Paracelsus.
			4) It should be pretty clear by now that she's not a double agent.

=Description=
Roboticist, enlisted with the toughs because she wanted "out" [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-03-28|2008-03-28]]]. She is about four and a half feet tall, lightly built, and has tan skin. She has purple hair, done up in a ponytail. Doing the math, Para is eighteen years old: [[schlockmercenary/Captain Kaff Tagon|Tagon]] is 49 [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-10-01|2008-10-01]]], and Para says that Tagon is thirty-one years older than she is [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-04-21|2009-04-21]]].

=Bio=
She had a reputation on the //[[schlockmercenary/UNS Battleplate Morokweng|Morokweng]]'', as evidenced by the instant helpfulness of the drydock 'bots working on the ''[[schlockmercenary/Touch-and-Go|Touch-and-Go]]'' [[[@http:''www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-03-30|2008-03-30]]]. Hired on as an ensign, she was soon promoted to Lieutenant [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-02-09|2009-02-09]]]. She has a green belt in Shotokan Karate, a skill she combines with her powered armor to devastating effect [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-01-24|2009-01-24]]]. She has occasional attacks of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posttraumatic_stress_disorder|PTSD]] [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-02-06|2009-02-06]]] , [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-07-14|2011-07-14]]].

During the [[Tagon's Toughs|Toughs']] expedition to [[Haven Hive]], she suborned the [[Sanctum Adroit]] tar-bots with a dental implant similar to [[Maximillian Haluska|Max Haluska's]] [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-10-20|2011-10-20]]], thus turning the tables both on Max [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-09-18|2011-09-18]]] and on [[Major Alexia Murtaugh|Major Murtaugh's]] force [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-10-09|2011-10-09]]].

It was revealed during the [[Oisr�|Oisri]] incident that Para was an agent of [[@schlockmercenary/United Nations of Sol|UNS]] [[schlockmercenary/Int Aff Int|Internal Affairs Intelligence]] [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-08-22|2012-08-22]]]. After the insane Tagii destroyed the ''Morokweng,'' Para activated a kill-switch to disable Tagii [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-12-24|2012-12-24]]].

Para was rehired by Tagon as a coxswain during the mission to [[Eina-afa]] [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-03-29|2013-03-29]]], since [[Bristlecone]] would take orders only from her [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-03-28|2013-03-28]]].

Possibly the 'Ventura' for which the HV scale for AI intelligence is named, or related? [[[@http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-03-13|2001-03-13]]]
