BASICS

NAME:  Alessandra Iannucci AKA:  Alex, Sandy, Ally, Lassie   CODENAME:  Thyme AGE:  30 years old GENDER:  female [she/her] ORIENTATION:  demisexual / demiromantic OCCUPATION: USN SEALs officer

TRAITS

POS:   loyal, observant, reliable, responsible, intelligent, quick-witted, dedicated, friendly, open-minded, adaptive NEG:   stubborn, reckless, confrontational, mischievous, temperamental, sensitive, expressive, insecure

SKILLS  

>  trained in krav maga  ,  aikido  ,  and judo >  skilled in CQB  --  both hand to hand and with weapons >  has apt understanding of firearms and non-firearm weapons  ,  projectile weapons >  trained in defensive driving >  has intent of being trained as a sniper  --  working towards qualifying for the training

QUICK BIO

            Born on July 24 to Teresa Chen and Captain Michael Iannucci, Alessandra grew up in a very military oriented family but had never felt the pressure to join the Forces. As a child, she often see her mother more so than her father due to the nature of their occupation; her father, a captain, was often away due to missions or due to his job while her mother was a military doctor so she was often home to look over Alessandra. Despite having spent most of her time with her mother, she loves both parents equally and unconditionally.             Throughout her childhood, she was encouraged to do sport activities and the sport changed as she aged but a constant one she practices is aikido and judo. Though the sports were of her choice, the martial arts were something her father pressed onto her but she didn’t mind, as an active child, she was an eager learner for anything new.  She kept up a competitive attitude with her siblings, fueling her want to improve herself physically when she was younger.             There was an underlying reason as to why she was encouraged to do sports, be it a team sport or individual competitors. Her father was a constant supporter of her and he did so with a sprinkle of his own wishes; he wanted her to join the military as well. As a family whose lives revolved around the military, Michael wished for his children to be part of the action as well. In a way, playing sports was a way to train her to be a team player but also an independent person. Aikido and judo was the basics into hand to hand combat but due to the fact that weapons were not allowed off base, her father was unable to teach her the usage of the firearms; Alessandra was more adept to hand to hand combat and close range combat than she is with long range.             Influenced by her father and her environment, Alessandra felt herself naturally gravitating to joining the US Navy. Joining of her own volition once she finished her education (high school and university  --  this was at the request of her mother), she started her service at the age of TWENTY-SIX. It was about three years later that she decided to attempt her hand at the selection and training process for SEALs. She manages to pass the training and is officially enlisted as a SEALs officer, but she’ll often say that she passed by the seat of her pants, just barely.
