Once you get passed her cold exterior, Kyra is really just a Viper Jock with a lot of weight on her shoulders. She values people who do their jobs right and don't give her extra problems to worry about.

	She finds it hard to trust people, especially those under her command because she doesn't want to fail. However anyone who get close enough to her will find her to be a woman, a strong one but a woman and she has the same wants and needs that all women have.

	The two had met through their respective careers and hit it off instantly and were quickly married. Having their careers to maintain and progress took it's toll on the marriage. Each of them spent longer and longer away on assignments, neither was willing to give up their career and this brought about the end of their relationship.

The Hyperion had suffered major casualties, losing most of it's senior staff including her EXO leaving no one on board but the Rookies. But there was some hope on the horizon in the most unlikely of forms. A single Raptor baring the [[Battlestar Galactica (Galactica)\|Battlestar Galactica]] IFF signature put out a distress call saying that it was heading for Galactica with survivors and had been cut off with its jump drive damaged in combat. This was the first time the Commander encountered [[Jenna "Selene" Gray (Galactica)\|Lt Jenna "Selene" Gray]] and her [[Crazy half-moon (Galactica)\|Crazy Half-Moon]] manoeuvre.

			As a Commander of a ship she takes protocol seriously and expects the same from her crew. Commander Areol commands respect and is always strict but firm with her crew and prevents herself showing any inner turmoil or conflicts from junior officers. Crew know that they need to be respectful to her unless they want to spend time in the brig for insubordination. Amongst the senior officers, however, she is more personable and fraternises more, especially with Belle and Selene who are her only real confidants and true friends. With them, or those select few she lets into her social circle, she is more friendly and outwardly caring than the crew believes she is capable of being.
