A- for Ysanne

The thing about being fourteen and a leadership protege is... you still have to go to high school. Get normal education.

The thing about being quantum leaped into a life you've been living for a year is that you get tossed into high school social dynamics you used to know but now sure don't.

The thing about being Ported in from a spacefaring society is that sometimes your teachers are definitely wrong about physics.

Anger may be of the Dark Side, but dropping your school bag on the ground with a notable thud? THat's of the Teenager Side

B- Open

The fit of teenagerness passes, of course. She has enough else going on that she can't stay in a funk for very long. THere's another major challenge to being a teenager in this world. She's too idealistic for it, she wants to do something. And that means looking for people who will help her change it and convincing them to actually take her seriously.It' s not always easy, looking for members of the Resistance. But she wants to help so she's trying to seek them out anyway.

"Director Poirier trusts me to look out for myself." The closest thing she has to an adult, here. Since Uncle LUke is... doing whatever he's doing in the Empire of Light. Things he shouldn't be doing.

Really, don't you want help from someone the Director-General trusts to look out for herself? Clearly a good bullet point on the resume she doesn't actually have. "I'm pretty resourceful."

The casual namedropping gets a raised eyebrow. While the Director-General has been a useful ally over the years (mainly for her funds), that doesn't necessarily mean Ashley trusts her judgment on everything.

"Really," she says, tone deliberately even. "And what exactly do you need to be resourceful for?"
