.:Physical Appearance:. Gena is an average sized young woman. She has a fit and slim physique, keeping herself fit through sports meant for self defense, apart from working on her feet almost all day. Gena has light brown hair with natural curls to it, that she likes to style up a little, depending on what her mood is on. Like many she dresses with what little she has, but she dresses for comfort rather than to impress, so usually in shirt and a comfortable size fitting pair of jeans. Only sometimes, when she feels like it, does she bring out the few more opulent clothes her family owned: Dresses with beautiful patterns, falling just short of her knees. She rather dressed a little warmer than to waste what little resources she and her family had on heating the apartment too much.
.:Height:. 5"7'

.:Personality:. Gena is a generally pleasant person, unless you piss her off. She knows how to fight back, not only with words, but with her hand and feet and teeth. She is not the kind of woman to let anyone walk over her. She’s compassionate and kind most of the time, with a sense of humor and a sometimes biting tongue. She’s loyal to a fault, but sometimes easy on the judgment. Gena dislikes disrespect and falling out of line without a good reason and without looking out for others and potentially getting innocents killed without reason. She can be quite mischievous, loving the occasional lighthearted joke or even prank.
.:Special Skills:. Cooking, Mixing drinks, basic hand- to- hand

.:Birthplace:. The Ark – Farm Station
.:Family:. Her father died during a riot on factory; her mother died during the crash of the Ark as she was on Factory at the time.
.:Occupation:. Bartender, helping with giving out and preparing food
.:History:. There is not much to be said about Genas birth or early childhood, even though she got lucky. She was born not a year after her parents decided to apply for a permit. They loved her and raised her with care and kindness. The lucky part was that unlike other kids of her non privileged position, her parents had saved up to allow her to go to the regular school instead of home schooling her, hoping to give her better chances for her future. Those chances sadly were only an illusion. Her father got killed during a riot on factory station where he helped pass out food. He was just an innocent bystander, trying to stay out of things, according to her mother, but he got caught between the fronts and died.

Being alone with her mother, Genas choices for a job were limited. She could have tried, spent effort and time to maybe get another job, but she wanted security for her and her mother and went into the job both her parents had. It had been predetermined for her in many ways and she was good at making and giving out food. Within the first months of working partially on factory and farm, she was often handled roughly, because people were desperate. Not wanting to cal the guards, she decided to go and spend a few savings on self defense lessons. She was by no form as good as an guard, but it was good enough to deflect an untrained brute if she had to. That was her initial purpose for training, but she soon found fun in it. It helped her unwind after a long day at work.

The Martins went about their work and life quietly, especially during the crisis. They were in a lucky position when the dropship got blown off, both surviving that. When it came to bringing the Ark to the ground the two women separated. Gena came down with Mecha, her mother with factory, which only had one survivor. In Camp Jaha Gena immediately started up working with cooking and now with bartending.
