A veteran of the war (on the Independents side), "Zāihài" Jane Marta served as a sniper, hiding in the bush and generally harassing Alliance folks when she could. After the war, well, she retreated further into the bush and harassed Alliance folks a bit less. She'd come into town to trade critters she'd hunted for supplies she couldn't make herself. Which is all well and good, but trouble has a way of finding Zāihài Jane no matter how much she might not want to be found. One thing led to another and she ended up killing someone who needed killing. Problem was, not everyone saw it that way, and the person in question had friends. More acquaintances really. Colleagues of a sort. The kind with connections. Zāihài Jane could tell that this was going to snowball into one those situations if she didn't vamoose off planet. The kind of situation that ends with a town on fire, dozens of people dead, probably including her. Now if she could just find a ship that didn't mind a little trouble.

Jane's not the most refined person, and doesn't have a lot of time for what she sees as the little niceties of civilization. Excepting tea. She's always happy to have a nice cup of tea. And a warm bath now and then works a treat on her old bones. People that expect to live off of others annoy her, unless of course there's a reason. Always got a soft spot for a charity case. She's a live and let live sort. But, well, if some fool thinks that means she'll just stand by while they cause trouble for other folks, they might find she can become a live and let die sort awful fast.

==Appearance==
Jane's in her late 40s and looks a little older. Being out in the sun and rain all the time tends to weather a person. Her hair's a steel gray, kept in a 1/4 inch buzz cut. She's lean, wiry, looks like she's made of rawhide, and stands just shy of 5'5". Fancy clothes don't fit her, so she most times sticks with well-worn green and browns and extra comfy boots. If she's hunting for real, she has a hooded camo poncho that she can throw on. Keeps the rain off too.
