Bra Size: 36D
Build and Skin Color: Physically unimpressive from a variety of standpoints. Chief is of average build, possessing no remarkable physical characteristics or peculiarities. She easily blends with crowds as a result, especially when in casual clothing. The only real point of interest is her somewhat dark skin, a smooth shade of cinnamon brown.
Facial Features and Eye Color: Chief has a slightly plump face, retaining a measure of childlike appearance but no adornments or markings; she has dark ruby eyes instead of the common violet or the ultra rare and test weapon-specific red, leading some to believe that the pigmentation is in fact artificial and the result of a change from an undesired color.
Hair color and Style: Chief has the common green hair, which is trimmed short on the left side, falling above shoulder level, but long on the right, which is usually seen tied into a very crips braid that hangs down draped against her front reaching almost to her stomach.

Distinguishing Features:

Psychological Characteristics
Personality: The product of a calculating parent and long periods devoted to studies of practical sciences and mathematics has Chief as somewhat of an aloof individual. Socially she is quite the wallflower, observant and disinterested at first impression; interpersonally she shows a great deal of understanding for her fellow beings and strives to be as accomodating as possible--within reason of course.
Therefore it is easy to say that in her personality Chief is very much the follower of others, but she does have her own strengths and ideals. In her opinion though it is not so much a matter of do they exist or not as it is will voicing them be any good in the situations she might find herself in.
Regardless of this reservedness Chief will never hesitate to speak her mind when it counts.

Likes: Chief likes it best when everything goes according to plan. The fewer complications the better. Therefore she has a tendency to prefer regimented and routine activities and tasks that have very little chance of having something unexpected occur.
Dislikes: Random outbursts tend to unnerve Chief, as do unexpected changes in routine, though she handles the latter well enough to continue working. Since she maintains a level of detachedness at all times few other things bother her; she does however have a profound hatred for most varieties of insect.
Goals: Chief is very unambitious and strives mainly to ensure that everything runs smoothly. So far as nothing disastrous occurs on her watch she is content to stay right where she is and advances through the ranks entirely at need, assuming command only as directed by her superiors or the chain itself.

History
Life on Albini was rather uneventful for the fledgeling and future Chief. Her mother worked as the accountant for a small business, and endeavored to teach Tetsuko the same skills. From the time she was five years old Chief was kept on a steady program of studies and exercises in various concerns such as market depreciatin, war effect on futures, and economic theory.
Consequently while she learned a great deal about how to manage people she spent little time in direct contact with them, until she joined the army. Prior to that she had spent most of her time assisting with the acquisitions of goods and personnel, which helped her greatly in the academy as due to these experiences she became adept at learning where people were best suited to operate despite their preferences.
Tetsuko has since been assigned to various logistics positions, though she also has command rank.

Skills:
Communication: Chief learned only as much as necessary to pass basic; she is however still up to par with regulations regarding communications knowledge within the Star Army.
Fighting: Disdaining combat, she is fast and efficient whenever possible to dispatch her opponent, rarely resorting to direct violence and preferring only to injure, killing only when necessary. Her marksmanship could use some work but she is quite skilled with automatics.
Technology Operation: Fully proficient in the highest-level computer systems she can access Chief knows exactly what to do and which button to press to get the job done. Oftentimes ensuring that things arrive on time involves anticipating needs and making sure the computerized inventory matches her own observations.
Mathematics: An integral part of logistics flow. She also has a rudimentary knowledge of n-dimensional mathematics.
Humanities: Knowing how to stroke the ego of a recalcitrant transport pilot can grease the wheels much better than a handful of money can. Of course sometimes the opposite is true but no matter what the situation Chief has the skill she needs to make sure that others are doing their jobs so she can do hers. Which brings up...
Leadership: The ability to inspire your followers is very important when you approach the chain of command. The captain relays orders and her subordinates see that they are carried out. Being a subordinate, it's Tetsuko's job to get people moving.
Maintenance and Repair: Everything that her underlings use, Chief herself can use. When something breaks down and there's no technician on hand to fix it, Chief usually walks the worker through the repair process if she's not doing it herself.
 
I see no glaring problems (then again, he made this character on my request). In fact, I think it's a rather good bio.

If you're wondering about the rank, I am giving Concerto some privliges in my plot as assistant GM and second officer (or first officer if Osaka doesn't make a character). Thus, he should be considered to have my authorisation in that regard.
 
That'll do - a tentative promotion in regards to Pisces, considering how desperately logistics is needed, as well as her limited command experience.

SAPM would recommend her to be part of the command structure, to oversee the flow of goods. (And there are a lot of goods...)
