PERSONAL DETAILS
Name: Lysandra Helena Tavoularis
Gender: Female Age: 26
Personal Goal: (secret)

Appearance:
Lysandra is an attractive woman with hair so blond most people think it's bleached and a figure most cheerleaders would kill for. Lys isn't unaware of her appearance, and dresses apropriatly. Her standard attire when working is conservative, her hair kept up and out of the way. She also wears glasses, being nearsighted.

Personality:
Lysandra is patriotic and intelligent, inquisitive and skilled. She is however a bit of a social dunce, having never really had a real relationship. She can seem ditzy at times, and has a habit of stuffing just about anything small enough into anything big enough to hold them on her person.

Background:
Lysandra is lucky. Born to an Afghan veteran bomb tech who survived several IED encounters, and that year's Miss America, Lys inherited her father's patriotism and technical skill, and her mother's looks, and both of their luck. She got lucky in the public school system, getting helpful teachers who nurtured her intelligence. She was one of twenty students accepted to a new program at MIT and one of only two who graduated. The program was something of a recruiting device for intelligent people by the military.

A new division of the army was working in joint with the Canadian military to gather information and artifacts of extreterrestrial origin. The unit, known as NEST (Non-Earth Science Task-force) was formed when an ecological restoration project at Niagra falls uncovered a ruin of extra-terrestrial origin, which impelled both countries to cooperate to study the structure. NEST operates outside of the normal structure for both countries and officially doesn't exist, granting their agents more freedom than CIA agents. NEST's headquarters lies under the iconic falls in the alien structure while smaller unit headquarters are located near similar sites in both countries. West NEST HQ sits under Mt. St. Helens, North NEST HQ is located at Alert, South NEST HQ is the infamous Area 51 of New Mexico, and East NEST HQ sits near the Manicougan crater in Quebec.

Lys was attached to West NEST and from there was sent to investigate several sites where it was thought that alien activity had occured. She investigated the location at Tunguska and several deep-pacific sites, but her break-through at Ayers Rock is what brought her to the attention of Central NEST. She was sent, along with a small contingent to London after the first official extra-terrestrial encounter with humans where they butted heads with Torchwood. NEST and Torchwood clashed several times clandestinly over the alien technology. At one point, Lys snuck into the hospital where one of the dead aliens was being kept. Not trained in infiltration, she was found by the soldiers guarding the body, but was saved by the timely intervention of an odd man and the dead alien revealing that it wasn't actually dead. Lys quickly slipped out of the hospital in the confusion.

After that event, Lys was sent to a small egyptian town outside of Cairo where a Nazi weapon supposedly crashed into the sea. As her true work is confidential, she is obstnesiably on vaction. The events at the town have been minor enough that NEST has decided to have her operate solo with occasional contact to report her findings.
