Luna Aelira Donovan is a fifth-generation Terran Sapien who grew up in a proud line of engineers residing in the Ecologis Arcologies, lush, self-sustaining urban megastructures created to preserve Earth's biodiversity after the Great Expansion. Luna embodies the modern Terran ethos: adaptable, diplomatic, and committed to preserving the legacy of humanity's cradle while acting as a bridge to its broader galactic civilization. Shaped by Earth's status as a hub for diplomacy and trade in the United Stars Compact, Luna fluently speaks multiple languages, including several dialects of the genetically adapted subraces and synthetic languages crafted by Aiphrodites. She is known for her calm and measured demeanor, balancing technical precision with the interpersonal adeptness needed to handle interspecies engineering teams. Luna is a firm believer in living within the means of the environment, advocating for sustainable tech solutions and symbiotic engineering — a philosophy she credits to the teachings of her mother, an early pioneer in adaptive energy systems. Luna maintains a close relationship with her family, though personal vulnerabilities are hidden beneath layers of professionalism. Her younger brother, Orion, an Adaptive Council geneticist, often challenges her to consider the moral quandaries of their work, leading to thought-provoking but sometimes tense debates. While she cherishes the familiarity of Earth's ancient traditions, Luna is enamored with the technological marvels emerging from the United Stars Compact. Her mint-colored engineer's jacket is adorned with a brooch modeled after an Aiphrodite crystal lattice, an homage to the shared ingenuity of humans and synthetics. Quietly, her ultimate goal is to contribute to the next great breakthrough—pushing FTL technology to reach the Andromeda galaxy, a venture whispered about in cutting-edge engineering circles. Despite her exceptional skills, Luna keeps her ambitions grounded in reality. Her choice of weapon, a lance-mounted energy manipulator adapted for zero-gravity repairs, reflects her practical approach to efficiency and self-defense.
