Editing Firefly: Reavers of the Rim - Imelda (section)

==Background/Bio==
Imelda grew up on a cattle ranch on Jiangyin, following in her parents' footsteps as a ranch hand driving herds across the steppes to new forage and eventually to market. She learned to shoot as a matter of frontier necessity, but soon discovered a real talent for it, both in competition and driving off raids from hill folk and cattle rustlers. Then the War came, and folks (particularly Independent agitators) kept telling her how much of a difference she could make, and she had to admit... The prospect of doin' some thrilling heroics did appeal.

Thrillin' heroics she... didn't, at first. With her competition skills and fine farmgirl looks, at first she got diverted from combat to recruiting, with propaganda channeling the Earth-that-Was revolutionary figure "La Adelita", but the Independents soon ran out of the luxury of being able to keep anyone out of the war, and she was sent off to Greenleaf among the commando units trying to break the stalemate on that world. When the Independents withdrew after intense but ultimately futile fighting, she was shipped off to Serenity Valley and did her part in that last, even more futile battle.

Since then she's been wandering, swinging between trying to quixotically be a knight-errant standing up for little folk and retreating into a haze of guns, girls, & gambling. A proper crew to latch onto might just be the thing to even her keel, though woe betide anyone who does wrong by her new friends...
