Editing Brianna Frazier (section)

== Education ==
Bree’s early education was received in a tiny private school operated by the paramilitary organization with which her grandparents were associated. Emphasis was placed upon basic reading and mathematical skills, along with a strong dose of fundamentalist propaganda. Thus, she has a greater than average familiarity with the Judeo-Christian Cannon, the Bible, and with various forms of religious doctrines. After leaving home, Bree remained an avid reader, educating herself in a number of areas, including economics and history, and honing her mathematical skills in conjunction with her latently discovered aptitude with complex computer operations and programming. Before entering Starfleet Academy, she earned a Master’s degree in Xenoanthropolgy from a major university. She has also undergone formal voice training since she was six years old, with an emphasis on the traditional Belle Canto style of old earth opera.

In one instance, a particularly insistent suitor, a fellow cadet, was rewarded for his efforts with a short stay in the infirmary, followed by expulsion from the Academy for harassment. 

Bree had long taken a lively interest in politics as they applied to human interaction. During her time in the academy, she began to perceive some… uncomfortable truths about President/Admiral Doenitz and his agenda. She was all too familiar with oppression disguised as peacekeeping... she grew up with it, and had hoped she had left it behind. But the more Bree learned about President/Admiral Doenitz, the less she liked what he was doing. When she quietly voiced her opinion to a few trusted friends, she discovered whispered rumors of an underground movement opposing his policies within Starfleet itself. She subtly let it be known that she belonged with Lodona’s 52nd Fleet.
