BiographyFor hearts long lost and full of fright, - Oath of the Star Sapphire Corps Carol Ferris grew up having a rather privileged life as the daughter of Carl Ferris the owner of Ferris Air. She was particularly close to her father because of the 'death' of her mother, a lie she was told from a young age to protect her from the harsh reality of the mental illnesses her mother suffered from. She only knew her mother Christine for a short time before she was sent to live in a care facility in Europe but she loved her deeply, never forgetting her time with her. For Carol her dream had always been to fly military aircraft having watched them take off from the Ferris Airfield as a little girl and later training to fly as a teenager; piloting some fairly advanced models of aircraft that the company had been working on. After graduating from College with a Bachelor's degree she surprised everyone she knew by applying to the U.S.A.F. against the will of her Father, but she had already signed her papers and there was no way he could stop her. After attending Officer Training School, she was commissioned and would later be deployed overseas as a fighter pilot, Carol 'Sapphire' Ferris becoming a known ace. Carol loved her father, so much so that when he claimed he was too ill to run Ferris Air in an attempt to get her to resign her commission in the military; she gave up her promising career, broke up with her boyfriend and put her business degree to good use running the family company. As the years have passed Carol's love of flying has not diminished, even as she's catapulted Ferris Aircraft into a position as one of the nation's top 100 companies and a premier defense contractor for the military. The success of Ferris Air was such that in order to deal with the supply and demand new facilities would be needed, with Carol and the bulk of the company moving to Metropolis where the conditions were much more favourable. Her life would change forever with the recent Atlantean crisis, when trade around the world was brought to a stand-still and the United States was under constant military threat; Ferris Air had been among the many groups brought in as private contractors for the Air Force who were on high alert during the crisis. Carol along with several other Ferris Air pilots had been assigned to coastal defense patrols along with National Guard pilots to keep an eye out for Atlantean attacks. When the final attack came, Carol and her fellow pilots engaged the highly advanced Atlantean forces in an attempt to stop them from pushing inwards towards Metropolis. The Atlantean forces managed to shoot down and kill several of her fellow pilots, a handful among them her employees from Ferris Air. Carol had been filled with a great sense of loss for people she had loved like family and the overwhelming sorrow in thinking of how many others might have to deal with such loss if she didn't stop the carrier approaching Metropolis. As she began a desperate attack upon the carrier that had claimed the lives of her friends she was chosen by the Sapphire Ring and in that instant Carol Ferris also became Star Sapphire; as well as the chosen Queen of the Zamarons whether she wished it or not. |
