Mireille Dembélé

Background

Mireille Dembélé was a first tier operative of the 4e compagnie (counterterrorism/urban reconnaissance) of 1er RPIMa, COM FST, COS*** on family leave attending to her dying sister when the hamlet where her sister's family lived was razed/abducted by extraterrestrial forces. Her sister, three nieces, brother-in-law, and mother all vanished in the early hours of the morning along with four dozen other people. Another fifty were slain as the hamlet was left to burn.

This was early days, late 2017. The French government covered it up. Industrial accident. Dembélé had seen the ship, though, and tried to use her military and government connections to pursue the matter. She was shut down, hard, eventually losing her commission before going on a personal vendetta to uncover the truth and rescue her people. Six months in the wild drew the attention of X-INT, who scooped her up during the Green November attacks. Her global-tier experience with urban reconnaissance and her extraordinary identification and recall abilities served her well in that mission, but she wanted more. When the X-COM Project was activated, Dembélé worked her way to the front line for a Sword team.

Edges

Eidetic Memory
Requirements: Smarts d6
You may not be particularly brilliant, but you have a mind like a camera. You gain a +2 bonus on Common Knowledge rolls, and on Smarts rolls made to remember something.

Commando
Requirements: Novice, Agility d6+, Smarts d6+, Spirit d6+, Strength d8+, Vigor d8+, Fighting d6+, Shooting d6+, Stealth d8+
Commandos tackle the toughest missions on the front, but often operate behind enemy lines with little chance of coming home. They are almost always outnumbered and outgunned so they need to be mentally sharp to stay ahead of the enemy. Commandos add +2 to all Fatigue rolls made against environmental hazards (including cold and heat), sleep deprivation, foot marches, and +2 to all Survival rolls. As much of their work involves getting close to their targets for a silent takedown, they receive a +1 to Stealth rolls and a +1 to Pace. All of these bonuses are cumulative with those derived from other Edges.
