Jeanine Yamada

Jeanine Yamada is the daughter of the famous Admiral Yuske Yamada. Ranked as a Gunnery Sergeant in the Alliance, Jeanine is skilled as a combat pilot yet her ranking suggest she is a trained marine. She is notably agile and quick when on the field.

Jeanine is disciplined and strict. She expects respect from alliance soldiers below her rank, and not becuase of who her father is. Regardless of her passion towards the Alliance and the rules it upholds she usually prefers to operate alone.

Background
Jeanine has never lived anywhere for more than a year unless it was a ship she was serving on. Born in 2161 aboard The Rising Sun I (her father ship-to-be) to Admiral Yamada and Doctor Marx-Yamada, Jeanine has literally spent her whole life aboard Alliance vessels. Her mother was transfered to another vessel in which the Alliance lost communication with. Yamada worked his way up until Captaining the Rising Sun I until he handed it off to his First Mate and claiming the Rising Sun II.

Jeanine followed her father, and was one of few children allowed on exploration vessels. She truly understands the social life of soldiers due to this, and started training at a young age.

Like her father she worked her way up the moment she could enlist, however she obtained more combat training than him. She briefly left his ship to work as a marine on his previous ship. Upon returning she would end up being stationed aboard the SSV Jughead at her fathers request to "keep the crew in line."

Mass Effect: Resurgence
Jeanine got off on the wrong foot with Thatcher and Barnes, and is still uneasy about them being in command. She does her job as requested, but always questions their orders. Much more serious about transmissions than the previous pilot, Jeanine is constantly talking to Thatcher through the intercomm to tell him about nearby planets, stations and mass relays.



Jeanine surprisingly got a drink for Elijah on the Citadel, and ended up helping him capture Asimov. While Thrash, Thatcher and Mike chased after the drug dealer; she climbed the Citadel's platforms to capture his wife and partner. Jeanine than went to the Universe to watch te crew celebrate shore leave, however she did not participate in any of the dancing.
