Background and Occupation:

Keira grew up in the colonies on a backwater planet that offered very little besides hard labour in a neighborly commnuity where everyone knows their everyone else.
Such... limited prospects weren't for Keira who always had a knack for fixing up the machinery on her family's farm, but very little patience for the actual farming or non stop gossip, especially since she was far less traditional when it came to romance (if you wanna call getting sucked off or pounded on the kitchen table romance).
You would think that in a world where technology makes STDs a nuissance at worst and pregnancy very much a choice is a little more liberal when it comes to such matters, but it continued causing a lot of arguments with and judgemental looks from the colonists. Her parents were more understanding, but were all too happy to sponsor Keira in getting her pilot's licence.
After finally saving up enough money to afford a second hand spacecraft, she left home in a hurry. In addition to her pilot's licence she also took the courier crash course. Her small craft wouldn't allow her to take on much cargo and she didn't have a mind to become a trader anyways.
Being a courier means she's handling small, valuable cargo, the nature of that cargo can vary between people, dangerous substances or material that needs to be stored under very specific conditions, but most importantly, cargo that can be moved much faster and without being moved from space hulk to landing craft to a storage unit before finally being delivered after going through customs and likely handled by several subcontractors along the way.
The paperwork is still a chore and fuel can make it expensive to price things well to make a decent profit, but Keira doesn't mind not being able to afford a high end luxury lifestyle and if she's in a bind, there's always some quick cash to be made transporting something falling into a bit of a legal grey area. Okay. It's smuggling. Not legal at all, but sometimes you don't get to choose.
Something she had brought along from home is her knack for machinery and tech, she has sold the crappy second hand ship for another second hand ship, but one much less crappy and most importantly, with plenty of opportunity for upgrades and customization. She quickly made this ship her new home, it's not luxurious by any stretch of the imagination, but it's comfortable and it's home. The reason for a more customizable ship are not just based on her personal preference for tinkering, it also allows her to fit different modules depending on the cargo she's transporting or whatever job she's hired to do.
