Appearance
This raven-haired woman is tall and thin. She carries herself with confidence, her posture straight and shoulders square. Her lithe frame is long and lean, with the subtly toned musculature and slightly broad shoulders of a classic swimmer's build. Hazel eyes rimmed in kohl are set beneath delicately arched black brows and frame a long nose and thin lips beneath. Her complexion is pale, but bears a healthy flush of color. Inky black hair hangs down just past her shoulders. A few thin braids hang amongst the otherwise loose flowing locks, and a few tiny silver charms have been tied into the braids with thin red string. Both ears are pierced numerous times, featuring a seemingly random combination of hoops, studs and barbells. Two barbells also pierce her left eyebrow, while her right nostril sports a small stud. Centered beneath her lower lip can be seen a small silver labret piercing.
History
Jericho was born and raised in the slums of Persephone, the only child of an addict mother and an unknown father. She was pretty much destined for trouble, and it found her. She joined a gang at 9. She dropped out of school at 10. Her mother died of a drug overdose when she was 15. By age 17, she was well on her way to being a proper street punk when a chance encounter at The Dregs turned her whole world upside down and, she remains convinced, saved her life.
That fateful night, she met Gabriel Kane, a man who would become her teacher, her mentor, a father figure, a tormentor and (ultimately) her salvation. In ten years with him, she never once saw him lose his temper--and she surely went out of her way to push it early on. In time, he tempered her, honed her, healed her. Taught her to read. Taught her to fly. Taught her to play the guitar, to channel emotion into music. Taught her the value of charity, honesty, and hard work. They were hard lessons, and sometimes they hurt, but in the end they made her who and what she is today.
Jericho parted ways with her mentor in January of 2532, to strike out on her own. Intending to follow in his footsteps, she applied to the Bounty Hunter's Guild and her name was added to the rolls. She also signed on with the Mustang as a security hand and part-time pilot, but with the ship being sold a few months later she made a new home on the Wulver with her boyfriend (and Mustang's former XO), Casey Garnet. In December 2532, she transferred over to the Ugly Duckling Corporation where she flew with the Guan-Yin II for a time before transferring to the compound on Silverhold and working there for a while.
Recent Events
Jericho parted ways with UDC in late October, 2533. Nothing in particular drove her from the job, just a sense of restlessness and the need to move on. Although she has been loathe to linger on Persephone for many years, her wandering feet brought her back to the planet of her birth. She rented a tiny studio apartment in the revitalized Eavesdown Heights district, a stone's throw from the tenement where she grew up. Though the building itself is gone now, sometimes she still sees it lurking around the edges of her peripheral vision, the ghost of a memory that time and distance haven't erased. For now, she seems to have devoted herself to training and hunting, with side trips here and there to visit Casey.
