A Verger combat pilot given an honorable discharge for hardship reasons, as the only one left to take care of her 10 year old daughter, Megan. Blue Jay is obessive about protecting Megan and taking care of her. Megan in many ways sees this as a blessing and a curse. Her Mom is someone tha will always be there when she needs her; but, she will always be there when she doesn't want her to be there too.
Blue Jay has her fighter craft with her as an attached escort to the Demon, a long range unarmed cargo/explorer ship and is their main pilot.
Blue Jay is ethical, kind and helpful. She is motivated by her love for her daughter, in fact, she's obsessed with taking care of her, to the point of being dirt poor and not concerned with her own appearance.
While Megan is motivaed by her desire to one day be reunited with her Dad. She anti-authority, flippant and independent. She is good with stuff around a ship; but, getting her to cooperate is another matter entirely.
