Peregrine Cruz

Peregrine "Perry" Cruz is a player character with a current arc. Perry started flying as a hobby at the age of 12, taught by her cousin Bellamy Cruz, a Star Navy fighter pilot.

She is currently serving as Assault Chief on the ERS Hydra.

Personality
Perry is friendly and curious. She's an adrenaline junkie who loves to fly, and she is deeply loyal to her crewmates, especially the pilots under her command. She's the black sheep of her academic family, who worry constantly about her safety. Journalist Miranda Risolde once described Perry as "startlingly intelligent," a description Perry resents as implying that pilots are assumed to be stupid.

Relationships
Her parents, Verity Rossmore and Amela Cruz, are research scientists with tenured positions at the University of Oregon. Her older brother, Kestrel Cruz, is a professor of Biotechnology at Boston College. Her cousin, Bellamy Cruz, was a Star Navy pilot who was killed in action in 2151.

Perry's childhood best friend is Teli Kuromoto. She was romantically involved with Hayden Barca for several months before he was deployed with the Fenris to the Skelow sector.
