Born and raised off the coast of Maine, Sabrina spent much of her youth confined to her little island. She had always loved to explore, which was a luxury that had been largely denied to her. It was common to find her sitting in a tree or on a bluff, staring wistfully at the mainland. Before long, she had become familiar with all of the nooks and crannies of the island. During the next few years, a new hobby began to manifest--she began sketching. At first it was just small sketches of her favorite places or what she could see of the mainland and the other islands. As she became more familiar with scale and distances, however, a new idea came to her. She began making maps. At the beginning, their focus was broad, encompassing the entire island. This quickly became repetitive, however, and she quickly moved on to smaller, more highly detailed drawings.
When she became old enough for military service, the choice seemed very natural to her. She signed up a few days after her birthday, and after three of the longest days of her life, she was finally sailing away from the island where she had spent her entire life. Though excited, she couldn't help but feel a tremendous sense of loss at the same time. Things got even worse when she arrived at the military base that would be her home for the next few weeks--as soon as she stepped off the boat, there was a drill sergeant shouting orders at her. She had known it wasn't going to be a picnic, but she hadn't been prepared for that. From there, though, things slowly got better. She began to get used to the discipline and the training, and before she knew it, basic training was over.
She found herself on another boat, this one heading east. Her skillset had earned her a position as a scout, and she was assigned to a detachment that was working closely with the Canadian military. Over the next few years, she was finally able to fulfill her dream of seeing the mainland. Perhaps more importantly, however, it was there that she met Shane Lou. The two quickly became best friends, and Sabrina would request to work with her whenever possible. It was during this time that she found herself on a ship blown far off course and approaching a strange land...
