==General Description==
Ito is a petite thing. At 5'1" and 105 pounds she barely came up to the shoulder of most people. She has the look of a full blooded Japanese woman, and keeps her body in top physical condition. Her hair, solid black and thick, is cut so that it does not fall into her eyes yet is over her shoulders.

==Personality Overview==
Ito was born in Japan, but when she was not even a year old her parents were reassigned to the eastern coast of the United States, in Virginia near the shipyards. Growing up in two cultures, American in the outside world and Japanese at home, she learned to see everything for what it really was, and do what she could with it. Thus she does not let her size get to her, and she'll fight for something she thinks is right, no matter what the final outcome might be.

==Strengths & Weaknesses==
Coming from her background Ito cuts her own unique path in the 'verse. Growing up as she did, with both her parents working 14 hour days she had to learn to fend for herself at a young age. Because of that she doesn't see any limits to what she can do if she sets her mind to it. Which can be a good or bad thing. She is a very confident woman in her beliefs, which she keeps to herself. And she can have a bit of a temper, though she has a very long fuse.

On the downside she can be a bit vain about her appearance. She knows she turns heads and sometimes plays that to her advantage. Also at times she can set her sights on something and forget the big picture, and may need a nudge now and again in reminder.

==Ambitions==
Ito would eventually like to command her own ship, and is working in the command track to get that done. Along the way she wants to excel in the tasks she sets herself. She also would like to have a family, but knows her main two ambitions conflict with each other.

==Hobbies & Interests==

As part of her teachings as a child her parents had her initiated into the martial arts. She didn't take it too seriously then, only obtaining a Brown belt in Kung Fu. In the past several years she has taken a renewed interest in the sport and has progressed to a second degree black belt. She also enjoys oil painting and three dimensional mazes. 

But her main thirst is flying. She wants to fly, at least once, every flight worthy craft she can get her hands on. In her personal logbook she has flown over two hundred different craft and she is looking forward to increasing that number every chance she gets.

==Personal History==
Growing up as someone that was "different" in the San Francisco public school system Ito learned to take care of herself at a young age. She would do what she could to avoid confrontation, but when it could not be avoided she went into the fight to win, not to be fair. This earned her the reputation among her pears as someone you did not go after unless you were very serious about it.

Because of that she had relatively few friends. She spent most of her time either at the dojo practicing her moves or on the 'net, looking up her newest interest. 

One day, when she was twelve, she got the opportunity to go up in a sub-orbital craft for a school assignment, and she was hooked. The thought of becoming a pilot able to fly something like that grabbed her and would not let her go. She begged her parents to let her take flying lessons at a local airport, and after many discussions they finally agreed. She took to it like a fish to water. By the time she was 16 she had the civilian equivalent of a license to fly the ship that started it all. 

By the time she was eighteen she realized that she wanted more. She wanted to pilot ships in space. And the easiest way to do that was to join Starfleet. Which she did, and subsequently passed the requirements to graduate in the top fifth of her class. And, better yet, at least in her eyes, she had set her course in Flight Operations, learning to fly the many different configurations of ships in Starfleet. She could not have been happier.
