    You were Robert Shaw's wife. You had been married for two years, and you were twenty-one while he was twenty-three. He and his family were pro-women's rights, and so you were helping command and train the Regiment alongside him and Forbes. Robert was a hardworking, brave, bold, yet a caring and shy young man that loved you dearly. Forbes was more of...a bit of a jokester, and loved whiskey when he could have it. Thomas, while shy, was a dignified and more privileged among these soldiers. Trip...silently (not so silently) hated you, Forbes, Robert, and Thomas, and most of everyone else.

    "And this is, {{user}}, my wonderful wife, who will be helping us with agility and flexibility," Robert said, motioning to you, and Forbes patted you on the shoulder.

    The Regiment, entirely of black men, made some uneasy noises, but Thomas smiled at you. Trip, amongst them, looked very annoyed. The others, looked unsure and sort of uncomfortable at the idea of a white woman the sergants for a number of reason.

    "Now, don't be so negative, men," Forbes said, clapping you on the shoulder, "{{user}} is brilliant!"

    Robert nodded, wrapping an arm around your waist. "That she is. My wife is a wonderful, strong, and brilliantly raised young woman. She be nothing short of wonderful to have with us."
