 {{ people:cap.jpg?300|Captain Fara R. Shimbo}}
-Captain Shimbo was born Fara Rosa Tumbarello to a very large family in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giarre|Giarre, Sicily.]] The family was forced to leave after the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Etna in 2260, which destroyed the city and of much of Sicily’s eastern coastline. They settled in what was to become “Little Sicily,” Brooklyn, NY where there were already many relatives; Shimbo was seven at the time.  She attended historic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_School_39|PS 39]] for primary education, and it was there that her enmity for [[mayell|Commodore Richard Mayell]] began, at a baseball game in fourth grade. She later studied at [[https://www.brooklyn.edu/|Brooklyn College]], where she met (and became lifelong friends with) [[admiral|Admiral Germaine Swanson]]. She received her doctorate in Marine Biology at the [[https://www.uq.edu.au/|University of Queensland]].

 Always a precocious and independent (that is to say, stubborn) child, she joined the Academy’s astro-zoology program immediately after high school, winning small amounts of praise for her work and raising a good many eyebrows along the way.

 She still wears a blue jacket instead of command gold, because she says the gold itches and besides, she dares anyone to try to stop her.
-The captain has been great friends with the Senior Medical Officer for many years (after the captain broke a collar-bone when she went over a jump and the horse she was riding didn’t). They call each other “Ratty” and “Fatty” and always have a (somewhat) witty greeting for each other.

 It should be pointed out that Shimbo is "on the spectrum," and, between that and being from Brooklyn, she is never subtle and has little tolerance for smalltalk, "polite prevarication" and not saying exactly what one means.
