Bio:
	Stick Shift has a passion for making things move, and doing so gracefully. Grew up in a family of spaceship technicians and repairponies, and got smart fairly quickly from being taught physics, mathematics and spaceship operation at an early age. This caused her to get irritated with other kids, because she couldn't say anything around them that they would understand. Eventually, while watching her parents do a test run of flying a ship to make sure nothing was still broken, she saw the possibility of what she could do, and began to take the steps necessary to become a pilot.
	Shift and her family moved up to Harmonium after she finished primary education, due to her parents' jobs requiring it. Throughout her secondary education and flight school, her parents let her learn the basics of piloting on a small little cargo skiff (Essentially the equivalent of a space forklift). By the time she had graduated flight school, nearly top of her class, she had already found connections to work for a Germane cargo company. They hired her almost as soon as she applied, and she was put on pilot duty for a small, messy cargo ship to shuttle goods back and forth from Harmonium, and other commission jobs.
	After about two years for working for them, they had an encounter with pirates. Now, pirates are by no means uncommon, and they have fended off small bandit attacks in the past (one of the reasons why she has gotten as much experience with weaponry as she has), but this time it was too much. All of the crew was killed, except for Shift, and she only survived because she was able to get the ship back to the Station before oxygen ran out. The pirates turned back as soon as they saw she was headed for the station, but fires were still raging on.
	After that, she decided to go to a more casual job in Harmonium. She went to work retail, and made her living that way. She's been making some extra pocket change repairing some small skiffs and other machinery, using her knowledge from what she learned from her parents. She even saved up enough to get one herself, and she's been... experimenting with it on occasion. Some small adjustments like increasing it's speed, making it bigger... adding concealed automated weaponry. You know, only the necessities. Recently, she's been looking for more eventful work options, and has ended up with Security Team 3.
