all the things. i'm going to c/p! i'm still piecing her together so all i've got right now is that she has a doctorate in history with a specialized focus on military history. she has a wild fascination with guns, ships, and things of that nature that led her into working with some big corporate weapons manufacturer at a consultant level. while the engineers did the techy stuff, she was there more to point out why something did or didn't work in the past and kind of sell buyers on the tactical uses. she gave it all up though when she came across some specs that she couldn't let get put into production and she stole them and through vash is somehow going to end up on the sparrowhawk as the gunner because she likes things that go boom!
