Description Jaime Reteef is a JD, fc (Junior Diplomat, First Flass) for the Corps Diplomatique of the Pax Universae Protectorate.  As you can see, she may have fairly aggressive ideas about what constitutes diplomacy.  Her superiors send her to various places where conflict and disagreement can be amended with a bit of judicious "diplomacy".  They would certainly clutch their pearls and suffer the vapors if they knew her favorite trouble shooting team consists of Rose Anne Rokkette and the crew of the PUP cruiser Fairlight.

Molly's art notes: This was created in Poser Pro 11 and tweaked in Photoshop.  The costume is   created by .  I have modified it a bit by retexturing the belt and refitting the whole costume to Dawn (it was designed for V4).  It is a lovely piece of content and I recommend you donate to Terrymcg and get your own copy.  The background is old... OLD, I tell you.  I found it in our runtime and Mad-Mikhail thinks it is more than 10 years old.  It's called "spaceship" and by a content creator called Omega.  It always amazes me how a good mesh holds up over the years!  I confess I did add a bit of glow to the buttons and screens but that's the only modification I did on it.

Now... as to the character of Jaime Reteef.  She hails from the Royal Family of Stella Magna, a star system that has been part of the PUP since it's formation hundreds of Annis ago.  I confess she is shamelessly based on the character James Retief created by Keith Laumer.  Google it.

Well, another character anyway.  I don't really have a story going as such in the Space Ranger corner of the Mollyverse... but I enjoy creating characters as much as I enjoy telling stories (and it's easier when I need a break from setting up and rendering complicated scenes from stories).  I'm glad you like Jaime enough to comment, my dear.

Jamie appears to follow the same line of thinking as Theodore Roosevelt, 'Speak softly and carry a big stick.' She is also most delectable!

If you read any of the Retief stories you will find that the hero, James Retief, was a Diplomat who generally ignored protocols and such to get things done. Keith Laumer, the author, had been a diplomat (embassy Vice Consul, I think) somewhere in East Asia around the time the US slid into trouble in Vietnam.  He had plenty of experience with diplomacy gone wrong...  That's the way I see Jaime.  Retief had a bumbling immediate superior who often took credit for his subordinate's victories.   reminded me of that and I am considering whether or not to bring an analogous character to life in the Mollyverse.

Don't have to Google it--Love Retief!  But where is her bumbling, by-the-book friend, Mangan?

I remember Ben Magnan, too.  I wonder if he should be gender-bent or remain male if I was to recreate him?
