[edit] Profile

Real name: Juliette Pontoin

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Blonde

Height: 160cm / 5ft 3ins

Weight: 51kg / 122lbs

Juliette Pontoin was born on August 23, 2040 in Paris, France. Her father sent her to a Parisian convent which is where she gained her education. In 2057 she went on to Rome University, Italy. Even though Juliette enjoyed her education she preferred an exciting social life. Due to this she only passed her degree courses in telecommunications and weather control (not all of the courses she had taken). After getting these results, and not knowing what career to choose, Juliette joined the World Army Air force (W.A.A.F) in 2060 as a 'fill-in' job.

Because of her unusual qualifications, Juliette was transferred to the W.A.A.F Intelligence Corps. She was so enthusiastic about her work she decided to follow military intelligence as a career. For another job, Juliette began training as an aircraft pilot and was soon recognised for her skills. She was soon promoted by W.A.A.F officials to Commanding Officer of the new Equal Oppourtunities Program, Women's Fighter Squadron. Juliette excelled in air combat tactics and fine leadership and became the W.A.A.F's best pilot, whilst gaining the respect of other squadrons. However, after three years in the W.A.A.F, Juliette tired of the lack of personal freedom and the strict regimentation that the air force brought and decided to leave and start her own firm of flying contractors.

Due to her amazing ability in the field of intelligence gathering, her faultless record with the W.A.A.F and her brilliant pilotting skills, Juliette was approached by Spectrum in 2065, aged 25, and happily accepted the job of combat pilot and codename Destiny Angel.
