Personal History		Rie Takagi, was born in Japan on Earth. She attended a normal school and showed good results having good grades. She led a pretty normal life and showed aptitude to arts and crafts, including making models of boats and planes. It was more of a boy hobby, she eventually switched to making doll houses. She enjoyed making everything in minature, it became a somewhat obsession over her early teen years. In high school she met Yuki Nishikata who was placed next to her in class. She had a huge crush on him and could only display it by teasing him. She would often play silly pranks on him to make him uncomfortable, not knowing he felt similar. At a Festival, he dragged her away and 'accidently' made it obvious that he felt the same way. After graduating High School at Eighteen, she asked Yuki what he was going to do. He was wanting to become a chef. He loved food and wanted to one day open his own Japanese restaurant. Rie had decided to go into Starfleet, she wanted to get out of Japan and find her own way in life. They parted ways and it felt heavy on her heart. After the mandatory officers training in the first year, Rie was offered two different departments to choose from. She could go into a specialised field of Engineering or Operations. From building the doll houses in her youth she chose Engineering and decided to become an Engineering Officer. The next three years she studied hard to become an Engineering Officer. She made a few friends, but she often found herself wondering about what Yuki was doing and if he ever thought about her. After graduating she was awarded the rank of Ensign and assigned to a Starship as a Junior Officer. She was assigned to the USS Lightning, a Centaur Class Destroyer as a Junior Engineering Officer. At age twenty two she was one of the youngest officers on the ship along with several other transfers. She served aboard the Lightning for two years, serving as the standard two years as ensign. At Twenty Four, she was rotated out with the annual crew rotations. She was also put on the promotion list for her next assignment. She was assigned to Outpost 271 as a Engineering Officer. The outpost wasn't a big starbase, but did have a small promenade. She was surprised to run into Yuki on the outpost who was on his way to Risa for a vacation. Instead of going to Risa, Yuki decided to spend some time with Rie as he hadn't seen her in a long time. They decided to catch up and after more than 'a few' drinks she woke up next to him the following morning. She was embarrassed that she had let her old feelings take over, however it sparked something inside both of them. Before she knew it Yuki had admitted to always liking her, to which she explained she felt the same. They ended up becoming a couple. Yuki relocated to live on the Outpost as a Civilian along with Rie so he could continue his relationship with her. Two years into their relationship, Rie married Yuki and officially became Rie Nishikata. Many believe that this marriage was because Rie was actually pregnant at the wedding, roughly six weeks, however she claims she didn't know beforehand. As expected, Rie gave birth to her daughter on Outpost 271. Chi Nishikata was a demandant child, always keeping both of her parents up at night. When Chi was a year old, Rie was promoted to the assistant chief engineer of the outpost. She now had more responsibility and was often in command of the Outposts Engineering needs when the Chief was not on duty. Together, both Rie and Yuki took it in turns to raise Chi. Yuki was often the stay at home dad and helped his daughter through her early days whilst Rie worked. Rie was enjoying married life, she loved that Yuki was so hands on with her and their daughter and that she could still work close to the family. She was perfectly comfortable on the Outpost. Five years later, shortly after Chi's sixth birthday a new opportunity came up and was passed to Rie by the Captain of the Outpost. Starbase Typhon was looking for a capable officer to take the Chief Engineers position. The starbase had ben recently damaged and needed a good engineer to oversee repairs. It also allowed Yuki to take his dreams and to open a Japanese Restaurant on the starbase's huge promenade. After discussing it with Yuki, they both decided that this would allow them to do what they wanted and to progress as a family. She accepted the position and was also given a rank boost to full Lieutenant before she left Outpost 271. She was excited to start on a bigger assignment, and she was also happy that Yuki could finally open the restaurant he wanted. A larger starbase would also allow Chi to go to school and meet other children her age and make her own friends.
