Claribel Mayrose

Claribel Ann Mayrose is an American astrophysicist, planetary scientist and quantum physics & effects scientist who was chosen to fly on the REVERIE-1 mission as the ship's physicist. She now lives in Vancouver, where she is a research associate. She has four degrees, and a doctorate in Planetary Science, but she does not consider herself a "genius" by any means. She is simply curious about the universe around her.

Early Life
Claribel was born in San Francisco, California, where she was raised as an only child by her father Terrell Mayrose, after her mother died in a car accident less than one year after she was born. Claribel was always treated well by her father; Claribel considered him his best friend. She had plenty of close friends in school, and did very well in school, graduating high school with the latin honor summa cum laude. She was inspired by the colonization of Mars, dating back to when humans first set foot there in 2029, to become a planetary scientist.

Adulthood
It was around this time that she had begun to develop large mood swings that can occur out of the blue. She is currently taking medication to try and "cure" it.

She went to college and graduated with a degree in physics, astrophysics, mathematics and German. She wanted to further her education and went to graduate school for Planetary Science, where she got her PhD. Immediately after she graduated, she decided to take her first trip off of Earth on a month-long space cruise around the Solar System. This is where she first met Bryony, who was piloting the cruise ship at the time. They talked about exotic astronomical phenomena, and Bryony even invited her into the cockpit to continue talking to her. They became friends after that, and less than a year later they were both asked to fly in the spaceship Reverie to travel to the nearest star system to the Sun. At first she was in shock, because at the time she was only 35 years old and there were people way more intelligent, capable and "hands on" people than here that would be more than willing to take the position as the mission's onboard physicist.

She was told that she has an inspiring ambition and the yearn to learn more about anything, and she knows very much already about physics in general, and being young and in fit helps.

REVERIE-1 Training
A thrilled Claribel immediately began mission training, along with Bryony and Quinn. She was fascinated by the mechanical and quantum workings of Reverie's warp drive. The worst part about the training was the physical workout routine she had to undergo, along with g-force testing. The best part was learning about the Alpha Centauri system, the flight plan, as well as getting to know her fellow crew mates on a more personal level.
