Her southern drawl comes more to the fore when angry or stressed (or flirty).

Biography
A Southern girl through and through, Dianne Koch Tracy has seen hardship in her life and has persevered over it. The only daughter and oldest child of Garrett and Elisabeth Parkhurst, she was always a leader, whether at home with her brothers, or at school, where she excelled in both the arts and the sciences. Dianne earned degrees with honors in family medicine and emergency medicine and became certified in both family practice and emergency medicine. She earned her license to practice from the State of South Carolina and through Doctors Without Borders.
After completing her residencies, she spent 6 months on the coast of west Africa, treating people in clinic settings with her uncle, Dr. Andrew Carmichael of Mercy Hospital in Los Angeles. As part of that experience, Dianne had to obtain her private pilot's license and has kept up the license ever since. Upon her return from Africa, she took a position as an emergency room physician at St. Francis Family Hospital in her hometown of Greenville, South Carolina.
Despite being abandoned by her father at age 9, she has managed to forge good relationships with good men, in particular, Richard Allen Koch, her one and only husband and lover. They were married on August 17, 2050 and four years later had their only daughter. Two boys quickly followed, and the family lived happily until tragedy struck. On March 22, 2063, a terrorist bomb blew up part of the building where Rick, a supervisor for the US Customs Service, worked. Rick was among those killed in the blast, and a newly-widowed Dianne found that her life had changed forever. Burdened down with grief, she spiralled into a depression, one so deep that her mother, Elisabeth, made her promise not to leave her children without a mother. Prodded into counseling by both mother and uncle, she regained her emotional equilibrium and pulled out of the depression. With hard work and the unflagging help of her mother, she managed to raise her children, keeping them in the private school that they had attended, and doing her best to be both father and mother to them.
She met Jeff Tracy through the auspices of her uncle Andrew. Jeff, an old friend of Andrew's, asked him for referrals, saying he was looking for a new resident physician for his family. Andrew, realizing that Jeff's qualifications fit Dianne almost exactly, gave Jeff her name. Setting up an appointment, Jeff Tracy soon knew that this woman, even encumbered as she was with children, would make both an excellent family physician and a fine Chief Medical Officer for International Rescue. Dianne took the challenge and moved her family to Tracy Island to live. Within a year, Jeff and Dianne had fallen for each other and were married on October 13, 2066. Jeff then adopted Dianne's children in early 2067, making them legally his own.
Entrance
Dianne is an established character for the purpose of this storyline. Her story is told in flashback fashion as time and the story permits.

Family
Two brothers, Alexander (age 11) and Tyler (age 9). Mother, Dianne Koch Tracy. Natural father, Richard Koch, deceased. She was adopted by Jeff Tracy in 2067. Grandmother Elisabeth "Lisa" Parkhurst.
Biography
First born child and only daughter of Richard and Dianne Koch, Cherry was only eight when her father died. Of Dianne's three children, she retains the strongest memories of her natural father and they are not colored by nostalgia, but are clear and truthful, often revealing sides of Richard that her brothers either do not know or have forgotten.
When the family moved to Tracy Island in 2066, Cherry mourned the loss of her friends and budding social life, but tried to make the best of the move. She made herself useful, claiming the job and title of Island mail carrier, and generally helping Ruth Tracy and Kyrano in the kitchen, and her mother in the infirmary. She was ecstatic to see the romance between her mother and Jeff Tracy blossom and welcomed the idea of Jeff as first her stepfather and then her adoptive father. She soon accepted him and his role in her life wholeheartedly and he was thrilled to finally have the daughter he craved for so long. Jeff alone in the family calls her "Princess".
Since the adoption, she has grown close to her oldest brother, Scott, as well as developing a good relationship with her new grandmother, Ruth Tracy. She has managed to keep up with her friends back home through computer messaging and planned get-togethers. Her nickname and her silliness caused her friends to call her "Fruitcake" a name that she does not like to be called outside her circle of friends.
Cherry is a sensitive and very feminine child, artistic and a voracious reader. She likes outdoor pursuits to a point, and gets along well with her brothers, especially Alex. Her chattiness amuses the denizens of the Villa, and she is beginning to look at the opposite sex in a more romantic way. Fashion is starting to be important to her; a development that puts her in conflict with her mother who prefers her daughter to wear more modest clothes and still has veto power over what Cherry purchases to wear.
Her favorite subject is art, but she has been an A-B student in all of her other subjects during junior high and now into high school. She considered living with her grandmother so she could finish her high school years at her old school with her friends, but circumstances made that impossible. Now she is involved with a local art class and making friends in nearby Christchurch, NZ.
Introduction
Cherry is considered an established character.

Family
Older sister Cherie (Cherry age 14) and younger brother Tyler (age 9). Mother, Dianne Koch Tracy. Natural father, Richard Koch, deceased. He was adopted by Jeff Tracy in 2067. Grandmother Elisabeth "Lisa" Parkhurst.
Biography
The first son of Richard and Dianne Koch, Alex was born three years after his older sister and was five when his natural father was killed. At the time, his grandmother told him he was "man of the house" and from then on became very protective of his family, especially his mother.
When the family moved to Tracy Island in 2066, he had a hard time adjusting to the change in his life, and an even harder time adjusting to his mother's marriage to Tracy patriarch, Jeff. For quite a while, he was leery of Jeff's intentions towards his mother and kept a sharp eye on his step-father for some months after the wedding, watching Jeff's interaction with Dianne to see if the new husband was going to be worthy of his mother. Eventually, seeing his mother happy in her marriage, he relaxed and became acclimated to his new life.
Alex has been a life-long scientist and observer of the natural world. His particular sphere of interest may change from time to time, but he always looks for every bit of information he can find on his current passion. He is an intelligent child and knows it, and is prone to giving out his tidbits of knowledge to all and sundry, and not at the most opportune times. He is also given to bringing captured wildlife into the house without permission, to the consternation of the residents but the amusement of his mother.
He is close his younger brother and his older sister, but never both at the same time. He has also developed close relationships with Alan, Virgil, and Peter; particularly Peter as his scientific role model. His relationship with his adoptive father, Jeff, was rocky to begin with. Of the three Koch children, he was the only one to balk at adoption, wanting to give up neither his place as "head of household" nor his memories of his natural father. Jeff made a special effort to convince the boy, and after a one-on-one fishing trip, Alex agreed to the adoption with the stipulation that he could use his original family name as his middle name. Since then, the father-son relationship has grown stronger as Alex has been able to stop being "head of household" and just enjoy being a son again. He also has very close ties to his grandmother, Lisa Parkhurst, whom he adores.
Alex's favorite subjects, after science, are math and history, and he has long been a straight A student. He is an imaginative child, always asking "what if?" and trying to come up with a new, fun thing to do that is usually impossible for one reason or another. He can be belligerent and is given to sulks. He does not make friends easily, but has a few from his years in Greenville, especially his best friends Dennis, Marty, and Carlos. His nickname within the family is "Bud" and occasionally "Bugboy".

Alex is considered an established character.

Health
Retinal damage to one eye made his vision fuzzy in that eye, the other eye compensated, but the retinal damage has resolved itself and his vision is now near perfect. He also has developed a stress-related eating disorder and is under counseling to help him deal with the stress of life as a Tracy child.
Family
Older sister Cherie (Cherry age 14) and older brother Alexander (Alex age 11). Mother, Dianne Koch Tracy. Natural father, Richard Koch, deceased. He was adopted by Jeff Tracy in 2067. Grandmother Elisabeth "Lisa" Parkhurst.
Biography
Third and last child of Richard and Dianne Koch, Tyler was only three when his natural father died and therefore has only fuzzy memories of Rick. He has always been the baby of the family and a bit spoiled despite Dianne's efforts to treat him and his siblings fairly. Unlike his siblings, he adapted well to the move to Tracy Island, soaking up the sun and the busy atmosphere, even though he occasionally felt overlooked.
The affection that Jeff began to show to his mother caused Tyler to look up to the Tracy patriarch in almost hero-worship. He was very excited to have Jeff as his stepfather upon Jeff and Dianne's marriage, and welcomed the idea of adoption with open arms. His relationship with Jeff has always been strong, but he has also grown very fond of his older brother, John, to whom he has taught the finer points of pinball.
Tyler is openly affectionate to his family, but has trouble making friends with his peers. He gets along well with his natural siblings, but tends to have more conflict with Cherie than with Alex. His intelligence has made him very conversant with computers, and he finds a challenge to his mind in many different kinds of games, from computer-based ones to old-fashioned board games and word puzzles. He is a master pinball player and can often be found in the games room tutoring one of his adult siblings. He enjoys building things and creating stories to go along with what he builds. Math is his favorite subject in school and he is generally an all-A student in his current curriculum.
Tyler is also infamous for being the pickiest eater at the table, which often leads to conflict at dinner. He is slow to wake and get dressed in the mornings unless properly motivated, and breakfast is not his favorite meal. Unlike his older brother, Alex, Tyler has remained slight of build and height, and is quick on his feet as a result. His nickname in the family is "Spud".

Tyler is considered an established character.

Six grandchildren of which three belong to her daughter, Dianne (Cherie, Alexander, and Tyler), two (twins-Jared, Jr. aka J.J. and Jeremy) to her son, Jared, and one (Stephanie) to her son, Douglas.
Biography
Lisa is an old-fashioned Southern girl from the lower middle-class. She completed high school, then went on for a two-year degree in cosmetology as well. Marrying Garrett Parkhurst right after graduation, she soon became pregnant and had her first child, Dianne, at age 19. Two sons followed, spaced out by two or three years.
Soon after their marriage, it became apparent that Garrett had a drinking problem, one that swiftly progressed into actual alcoholism. When drunk, which was often, he became abusive to Lisa, both verbally and physically. At first, the pattern was the classic one; beat her up one day while drunk, come back full of remorse when sober. But as the years progressed, the remorseful episodes became fewer. Garrett started staying away from home and when he did return, it was to reassert his dominance over the family. In the meantime, Lisa tried hard to keep the family together and to hide what was to her a shameful situation. She began to spiral down into depression and apathy.
One night, however, an angry, 9-year-old Dianne stepped between her father and her mother and became the target of her father's rage. Seeing her child so badly hurt shook Lisa from her lethargy and galvanized her determination to leave Garrett. She swore out a restraining order and a warrant against him, then contacted a lawyer to gain sole custody of the children and begin divorce proceedings. Upon learning his wife's intentions, Garrett promptly disappeared.
For two years, Lisa looked for her wayward husband, determined to be legally free of him forever. She worked two jobs to make ends meet; cutting hair in her little salon, and cooking and serving food in an industrial cafeteria. She was supported both emotionally and sometimes financially by her younger brother, Andrew, then a doctor living near Myrtle Beach. Finally, Garrett was discovered in Florida, arrested on the outstanding abuse warrant, and brought back to South Carolina to stand trial. He was jailed, and many of his assets were liquidated to pay back child support and alimony. The divorce was finalized, and Lisa and her children were free. Eventually, Lisa quit her cooking job, focusing on her little shop, and raising her children on her own.
When she found out her daughter's dream of becoming a doctor, she took it on as her own, and did everything she could to put her girl through medical school. At her shop she was fond of saying, "my daughter, the doctor", indicating her pride in Dianne's accomplishment. And she was very happy to see her daughter marry Richard Koch. Lisa knew him to be a good man, the kind of man she had hoped Garrett was, and she loved Rick like she loved her own sons. Devastated by his death, she realized that Dianne and her children needed her more than ever, and she stepped in to be her daughter's strength and support. When Dianne reached rock-bottom in her grief over Rick, Lisa required a promise of her, to never voluntarily leave her children without a mother, a promise that Dianne kept and remembered.
She was not pleased to see her daughter and grandchildren move so far away to a South Pacific island for her daughter's new job as family physician to the Tracy family. And she was flabbergasted to learn of her daughter's engagement to one of the richest men in the world. She was flown out for the wedding, and, in spite of her initial misgivings about Jeff Tracy, decided that he would make a good husband for her daughter and a good father-figure for the children as well. While at the wedding, she was introduced to Kyrano, who was as taken with her forthrightness and flamboyance as she was impressed by his gentleness and calm demeanor. They became romantically involved and enjoyed a flirty, long distance relationship, much to the chagrin of their children. As of this update, they are newlyweds. They were married on December 28, 2068.
While visiting the Island, Lisa became suspicious of rumblings and vibrations she felt and of the concerted efforts of her family and of Kyrano to deflect her from time to time. She nosed around as only she could and discovered a secret: the Tracy family ran International Rescue. Knowing that this was a secret she must keep at all costs, she determined to do so, not even telling her daughter that she knew. Eventually, Jeff and Dianne brought her into the loop as far as IR was concerned, and she surprised them by telling them that she already knew! Since then, she has been a help and encouragement whenever she could come out to the Island, lightening the load for the support staff and keeping an eye on her Tracy grandchildren, now eight in number.

Family: Parents died in family yacht accident when Elise was 9. She was raised by her father's older sister in Denver, CO. Before his death, her father, Francis 'Frank' Collins had been an officer in the USAF. He was an ex-pilot who became a teacher at the USAF Academy. He enjoyed sailing as a hobby. Her mother, Helen enjoyed skating, being an officer's wife and raising their daughter.
Hobbies: Elise learned to figure skate at an early age. She gave it up in her teens, because the cost of competing became to high and her aunt could no longer afford it.
Elise is the only daughter of USAF officer Frank Collins and his wife, Helen. Orphaned by a family yacht accident when Elise was 9, she was raised by her father's older sister, Victoria Collins, in Denver, CO. Her childhood was relatively normal despite being orphaned. She did well in school, made friends and was generally very popular. Elise learned to figure skate at an early age, but gave it up in her teens, as the cost of competing became too high and her aunt could no longer afford it. She was a member of the Air Force ROTC in high school, and graduated near the top of her class. This led to a scholarship to the Air Force Academy, where she majored in Humanities, and flying became her passion. While in the Academy, she was a member of the Ultimate Frisbee team, taking the championship in her sophomore year.
After graduating, she served for nine years with the USAF as a helicopter and jet pilot. At some point during her Air Force career, she served under Capt. Scott Tracy, and during that time had an unforgettable run-in with a Fireflash prototype. When her term of service was up, she obtained a private corporate license to pilot helijets and jets, obtaining a job with a private company, ferrying businessmen across the US.
Eventually, she became displeased and unsatisfied with her employment, and Elise started looking for a more challenging position. Through the aviation grapevine she heard that Tracy Ind. was looking for quality people including corporate pilots. Knowing that TI is owned by multi-billionaire Jeff Tracy, she figured if she got "in", she'd not only get herself her dream job, but also be able to fly some of the most advanced aircraft in the world. The fact that she knew Scott Tracy from her AF days would be the key to help her "get her foot in the door". She applied to, and was hired by Tracy Industries and sent to New York City to work flying helijets. Eventually, she was called upon to take Jeff himself on what would be a fateful and life-changing flight.
Elise is serious when working, and dedicated to what she is doing. She is independent, but sociable with a good sense of humor when the need arises. She is strong-willed, yet kind hearted and can be counted on in a crisis, however big or small. She tends toward impatience, which may also spark her sharp temper, and her occasionally sharper, sarcastic tongue. She enjoys wine, country music, dancing, and a good night out with friends. Elise would someday like to get back on the ice to figure skate just for pleasure. She does like to sing, and usually sings in the car or the shower but is not afraid of a karaoke machine. She doesn't follow sports per se, but will always root for the AF Academy or a Colorado team when they're playing. She's still a wicked Frisbee player, and is always up for a game.
As a result of the yacht accident that killed her parents, Elise suffered for many years with severe hydrophobia and a fear of boats, making it difficult for her to fly long distances over water. Later investigation would show that she also suffered from PTSS and survivor's guilt. She is getting professional help to deal with these issues
She was hired by Jeff Tracy as a private pilot. While piloting Jeff to a vacation home in New Hampshire, they ran into bad weather and crashed. International Rescue responded and she was stunned to discover the Tracy family actually ran the organization. After some soul searching, she joined the team.

Nationality: American
Height: Six feet, two inches
Build: Tall and muscular, but not in a body-builder fashion.
Hair Color: Medium brown, natural highlights

Is able to take and give orders in a professional manner. He has been known to be insubordinate when orders contradict with his own training and instincts.
Luke is homosexual. While not blatant about his sexual preferences, it is no secret either. Circumspect has been often used to describe his dating history.
Luke lives for a challenge. He's fond of saying, "I'll try anything once."
Likes: Not a big party go-er. Luke is happier kicking back and celebrating with friends. Enjoys reading, everything from Shakespeare to sci-fi and fantasy.
Dislikes: Is not a big fan of television or movies. Would much rather have his nose in a book. Also hates shopping.

Best Qualities: Fiercely loyal and protective. Has an affable way about him, very easy going. A good sense of humor, once he's out of his shell.

Hobbies: Enjoys reading, hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, and snowboarding. Almost anything to do with the outdoors.
Talents: Expert carver and whittler.
Clothing Style: Has been likened by his friends to be a poster child for the LL Bean catalog. In other words, rustic casual. Khaki shorts/pants, shirts of a similar nature, outdoorsy kind of clothes. But has been know to don a suit coat and tie when the occasion warrants it. Luke wears a medal of St. Bernard, the Patron Saint of Mountaineers, around his neck.
Education
A graduate of The Ranger School of the College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Wanakena, New York. Worked for the US National Park Service in the Colorado Rockies before becoming a fully accredited member of the Mountain Rescue Association, with specialties in avalanche and mountain search and rescue. Completed the NASAR Search and Rescue Dog Training Program. His 3 year old German Shepard, Rommel, is a highly trained SAR dog.
Luke has also received the necessary medical training to assist in rescues. He is nearly qualified as a full paramedic.
Health
Overall in good heath. Suffered a broken wrist and ankle during a rescue five years ago, but has had no problems because of it.
Family
Luke has one older brother, Roger, a successful businessman. Roger and his wife, Eve, have three children, Sarah, Heather, and Jason.
Luke's parents, Richard and Melisa, own a sporting goods store in Bozeman, Montana.
Rommel is Luke's three year-old German Shepard.
Biography
Luke grew up in a rural Montana, spending most of his time exploring the woods around his home. He and his friends would often be found fishing or camping out, rather than at the local high school dances.
Luke played ice hockey for four years in high school, helping his team make it to the state championships, his senior year. The team lost in overtime.
Luke knew from an early age, that he wanted to be a Park Ranger. While working in Yosemite National Park, he took a weekend survival course which then led to his interest in search and rescue. After three years at Yosemite, he applied to NASAR and became a certified SAR employee.
Luke has recently broken up with his partner of four years. Barry wanted a more traditional relationship, instead of only seeing his partner 6 or 8 times a month. The break-up, while painful to both, was congenial and the two remain friends.
Luke's family is completely fine with his lifestyle. His mother considers Rommel her "Grand-dog".
Entrance
When a plane crashes in the Colorado Rockies, Luke and his team go out to assist, meeting Lena Matumbo, who was on the flight. Feeling dissatisfied with his current job, he eventually replies to an ad with Tracy Industries. A recommendation from Lena helps secure him an interview on Tracy Island and he is invited to join the IR team.

Hair Length: Short
Hair Style: Very curly
Eye Colour: Green
Glasses/contact lenses: No.
Unique marks: A small birthmark on his left cheek. No, not that cheek..
Anything else: A smattering of freckles on face and arms; also he power naps five or six times a day for about 20 minutes each time, so he can stay up late to get things done without interruptions. He can sleep just about anywhere.
Personality
Quiet: he prefers to listen. He seems to instinctively know the right questions to ask to get someone to open up, but doesn't talk much about himself or his family. He isn't often spontaneous, but when he is, he accepts the consequences if it goes wrong. Highly intelligent, he can absorb and process information easily, enabling him to make decisions quickly. When it comes to trivia games, he more than holds his own. He was on the swim teams in high school, and at the Naval Academy. He has a wicked sense of humor and if a practical joke is played on him, he'll laugh it off. He enjoys learning new things. When working, he is methodical, but works to get it done right, and quickly.

Worst qualities: He hates having to apologize, even when he realizes he needs to. He'll do so, but will quietly chide himself first, for getting himself into a situation where he has to. Fortunately, he doesn't take long to do this, and it's usually with actions, rather than words. He waits until he has no clean clothes left before he washes any, despite his military training.. He can be impatient with people, if he feels they aren't keeping their word.
Hobbies: Water sports/activities, hands-on working on cars, planes and jets, both rebuilding and maintaining them
Talents: Plays harmonica; can carry a tune; also whistles beautifully; has been known to completely dismantle and rebuild a car engine in one day; he's done it three times since he was a teenager to three completely different vehicles. He learned several magic tricks when he was a kid, and has not forgotten them, though he hasn't done them in a while. He has a quirk where he tends to drop the "g" on any verb ending with "ing" when he is stressed, excited, overwhelmed, angry, etc.
Clothing style: Neat and comfortable
* Education
Will graduated from the US Naval Academy with degrees in mechanical engineering and systems engineering. During his senior year, he also studied computer science in the academy's Trident Scholar Program.
* Occupation
Will was in the Navy for ten years. During that time, he commanded a team of mechanics, working alongside them on the jets, and on various systems aboard the ship. He took a leave of absence, due to a family emergency that lasted for 18 months. He decided not to return, got a discharge, and currently works for his father in the San Francisco branch of repair shops. He could become the new mechanic, able to work on auto, boat, and jet engines and systems. He could also work on other systems, helping to maintain, upgrade and possibly help reprogram/rebuild them.
* Health: No allergies or phobias; is in excellent health
Family
Will is single. His parents (Leonard and Joanna) are still alive. He has two siblings, both younger - a sister, Jenny (30), who is married with three children, and a brother, Mitchell (28)
Biography
Will was born in Carefree, Arizona and learned to fluently speak both English and Spanish before he even started school. He learned to read and write by the time he was four (when he was able to start school), and this, plus his ability to learn things easily, caused the school to have him skip the second grade. While in school, he learned French and German. His father owns a string of auto and boat body/repair shops in two states (Arizona and California), and Will spent a few hours after school and weekends - starting when he was fourteen - working at the one closest to home. Prior to that, he'd worked with his father on their own cars. During the summers, the entire family would vacation at a place where they could indulge in water sports, as both parents grew up around water, and the kids inherited their love for water based activities. (FYI, Arizona has the second highest number of boat sales in the country - the contiguous 48 states.) Will, his father and his sister all learned scuba diving during one vacation in Florida, where they have a second home.
He graduated high school as salutatorian, only .001 points behind the valedictorian, his high school sweetheart. Since he was only sixteen, he was unable to enter the Naval Academy right away (minimum age is 17), and used that year to take online courses in computers, continue working for his father, and indulge in his hobbies. When he did enter the academy, both his intelligence and his high work ethic enabled him to receive two separate degrees, and he left with the rank of lieutenant and an additional language learned - Russian. He was also able to enter the academy's Trident Scholar Program (see below) during his senior year, enabling him to do in depth research in mechanical engineering. He spent his entire time in the Navy aboard one aircraft carrier, where he planned to remain until he retired.
But his brother got hooked on a new narcotic, and caused the entire family a great deal of trouble. Will resigned from the Navy to help his family try to straighten his brother out. They were successful with Mitchell, but his parents' health suffered. It took another six months for them to recover, helped by the month long Mediterranean cruise the three siblings sent them on. During their vacation, Will took over for his father, and even managed to make some improvements in procedures, without ruffling any feathers. When his parents returned, his father was impressed with how well Will took care of the business. He'd opened a branch in San Francisco three years before, but it was only breaking even. So he offered Will management of it. Will accepted the offer enthusiastically, and within two years it had become very popular.
Entrance: Will has managed the San Francisco branch of his father's repair shop so well, it practically runs itself. He has trained a few people to be able to take over for him, or take over if his father decides to establish another shop. But he misses the "hands on" approach. One day, browsing through want ads on the internet, he sees one for a mechanic for Tracy Industries. Since he has acquired a taste for travel through the Navy, and never got to go to Australia, he decides to send in an application.

Biography
Born to an up-and-coming American businessman and a chain-smoking Irish schoolteacher. It was a short-lived relationship, and his father left shortly after his birth.
Dominic worked at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, before moving out to America on the invitation of his estranged father, Matt Hawkins, after his mother died from lung cancer. Dominic took up a job in a local hospital as a surgical nurse, and while there befriended a young intern, Margaret Houston, with whom he had a brief romantic relationship. Margaret became pregnant, and at twenty-five Dominic was the proud father of a baby boy, Joshua. Sadly, Margaret found work elsewhere, and Dominic agreed to take on full parental responsibility.
Juggling his career, being a dad and getting to know his own father was not easy, but Dominic managed it. He continued to work in the same hospital until he took a transfer to the medical unit on the Tracy Industries airbase in Kansas. Matt Hawkins suffered from a crushing guilt for years because he abandoned his first-born son, intensified by the death of the boy's mother, Roisin Kelly. As such, he tried to do as much as possible for Dominic. Although they did not get along very well, they kept in touch.
Entrance
Jeff is looking for medical personnel, and a respected business associate, Matt Hawkins, points to his son, who is not only a proficient surgical nurse, but has also worked for LifeFlight. As Dominic is both a nurse and a pilot, he proves to be a good choice for International Rescue.

Glasses/contact lenses: Wears glasses
Unique marks: Ears pierced, one hole in each lobe
Personality
Izarra wants to know everything about everybody. She exudes confidence, and will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger with ease. She is very charming, and flattery will get her everywhere when used on everyone but the most strong-minded people. This makes her very good at getting information from people, even when they don't initially want to divulge it. It also makes her incredibly nosy; however, this has led her into the underworld of espionage, and she has become an accomplished spy.
General Information
Likes: Long conversations, listening, debating, sleuthing, sunbathing, going to parties, and in general any social occasions.
Dislikes: Not having the opportunity to express her opinions, hearing people insulting others behind their backs, catching herself insulting others behind their backs, evasive people, being deceived.

Worst qualities: She can become overbearing and dominative of conversations. She also tends to argue with people over anything, even if she knows nothing about the subject. She tries to poke holes in what other people say, and pick out their faults, especially those people she dislikes. Also, her need to find out everything about her target can cause her to take risks that can lead her into trouble, though she can usually get herself out of it.
Hobbies: She enjoys camping, sunbathing, reading, and taking walks with friends. She likes cooking and baking when she gets the chance, though her skills are limited and her dishes usually end up burnt. She likes puzzles, especially sudoku, crosswords, and jigsaws.
Talents: She has a silver tongue and can weasel her way out of most situations. She is very light on her feet, and can sneak up on everyone but the most alert of people. She was a Scout from age six, achieving the Explorer Belt at seventeen, and retains much of her wilderness survival knowledge. She speaks Spanish, French, and English.
Clothing style: She dresses elegantly, but without flamboyance.
Education
Received her basic education in Bonao, her hometown, but traveled to Spain at nineteen and graduated with her degree in dentistry (a five year course) from Universidad de Alcalá, Madrid, in 2045.
Occupation
Izarra practiced as a dentist in Madrid for eight years before becoming a partner in a surgery. Through her husband she became involved in the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (National Intelligence Center, Spain), and was an active spy for them up until 2067. She now runs a dental practice in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Health
She is generally in good health, and does not have any known allergies or phobias.
Family
Father, Juan Rúiz Soto (77); mother, Marie Emmanuel Fernandez (76); brothers Antonio (50), Hector (48), Rafael (39), Joaquin (37); sisters Ciel (45), Angela (43), Julia (41), and Diana (30). Husband Sébastian Toulouse (51) is now deceased. She has fourteen nieces and nephews, but no children of her own.
Juan and Marie are gradually phasing themselves out of the running of the company after finally deciding to retire. Antonio, Hector, Ciel and Angela work for the business in the Dominican Republic and as international representatives for the company. Julia is a Christian missionary based in Somalia, Rafael is a soldier, Joaquin is a doctor in New Zealand, and youngest Diana, after working for her parents for a number of years, has gone back to education and is studying an undergraduate degree in International Studies and Politics at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Biography
Izarra was born into a wealthy family, the third child of nine, in Bonao, Dominican Republic. Her paternal grandfather owned a successful gold mine, and became the largest exporter of precious metal in the Dominican Republic. Her father and mother, who had been heavily involved in the business since their marriage, took over the running of the company when her grandfather retired in 2025.
In her youth, Izarra was described as an inquisitive child, and it quickly became apparent that it was not a thirst for academic knowledge that she was developing, but rather a need to know the exact details of everything going on around her. This was a trait her parents often became frustrated with, because it led to the child asking endless questions. It did, however, mean that she had no objections to learning English at school (which was encouraged by her parents), as some of her siblings did. At age six, Izarra decided that it was important to learn the most widely spoken language in the world on the basis that she would be able to understand the majority of people.
At six, she also joined 1st Bonao Scout Unit. Her parents decided to enroll the child in a group that could potentially provide her with an outlet for her inquisitiveness, through its varied educational programme. She remained in the unit for nine years, achieving a huge collection of merit badges. At seventeen she travelled to China to take part in the Explorer Belt Challenge, an event in which older Scouts from around the world travel into the wilderness alone and follow a set trail for seven days, relying only on their survival skills. These include a knowledge of ropes and knots and how to make temporary shelters from natural materials, as well as furniture making, the hunting of small game with handmade traps, tracking, how to build a fire safely, compass and map proficiency, as well as overall safety and first aid.
Izarra was one of only ten Scouts who were successful out of the seventy who participated. After this, she left the unit to concentrate on her final exams before university.
Unlike several of her siblings, Izarra did not wish to join in the running of the family business, or even to remain in the country. Seeking fresh opportunities, she traveled to Spain for her tertiary education, receiving her degree in dentistry. Friends thought that this was strange, considering the stereotype of dentistry being unexciting and formulaic. Fortunately, Izarra found the work compelling, and completed the degree. She enjoyed the precision involved in the dental work, and the fact that every mouth was individual, and could provide new challenges. She also discovered a talent for the delicate and sometimes complicated procedures.
Instead of returning to the Dominican Republic after her studies as her parents thought she would, Izarra remained in Madrid. This led to strained relationships between them for several months after her graduation until her parents became resigned to the fact that she was not coming home in the near future. For the first eight years Izarra worked in a suburban dental surgery before breaking off with two of her closest friends from university to form their own practice in 2053, also in Madrid. It was at this time that Izarra met her future husband. As soon as the flamboyant Frenchman walked into the surgery, requiring immediate treatment, she was intrigued by the way he carried himself, even with a painful broken tooth. It was only after the emergency treatment that she realized he was one of the world's leading fashion designers, Sébastian Toulouse, a man who had created exclusive designs for the English monarchy as well as for the catwalks of Pairs and Milan. In the following three months, she flattered and charmed him, and he the same to her, until finally he proposed.
Izarra moved into Sébastian's stylish apartment in Madrid, where he was based at that time. Life was good for the first few weeks. However, Sébastian started to travel abroad more and more frequently, leaving Izarra convinced he was having an affair. Furious, she began snooping through his papers, and eventually followed him to London on one of his 'business trips'. As she thought, he had arranged a secret meeting with someone named 'Fox'. She tailed him into the back streets of Soho, and caught him red-handed...receiving a package from a tall man in a trench coat. Izarra burst from the shadows demanding answers, and a dumbfounded Sébastian could not react as the other man grabbed her and put a gun to her head. Suddenly Sébastian snapped out of his shock and explained that the woman was his wife. The other man let her go, and disappeared into the shadows. Sébastian spirited Izarra back to his hotel room, furious, but had to explain what was happening. He admitted that he was secret agent with Nacional de Inteligencia, having previously worked for Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, the French secret service, with whom he still maintained strong links. He was exceptionally angry with her, but realized her potential as a spy, and recruited her.
Izarra worked as an undercover agent for Nacional de Inteligencia for the next fourteen years, until tragedy struck, and Sébastian died of a heart attack in September 2067. Devastated, Izarra fell into a deep depression for several months, resigning from the intelligence service and moving back to the Dominican Republic. After counseling and the support of her family helped her back on her feet, she decided to start anew and moved to Christchurch, New Zealand, near her brother Joaquin, buying a long-established dental practice.
Entrance
The dental surgery Izarra buys in Christchurch happens to be where the Tracy family are registered. When Lady Penelope breaks a tooth while visiting the island, she is flown for emergency treatment to Izarra's practice. Penelope recognizes the woman as a former member of Nacional de Inteligencia, someone with whom she had dealings with a few years before. She informs Jeff of this, and of Izarra's record as an excellent spy. Jeff considers making her an agent for IR.

Education
Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Engineering while attending the University of Alabama (hence the favorite colors); went on to Master's Degrees in Bioengineering and Communications Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (but kept her Alabama pride). She completed astronaut training at the World Space Agency, which gave her capabilities to get to the International Space Station and do some work there when needed.
Occupation
Before joining International Rescue, she worked as an environmental engineer and a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) specialist for the WSA in Houston, Texas. She also served at the WSA bases in Moscow, Russia, and Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she learned the languages (Russian and Portuguese, respectively). On call, she went to either Cape Canaveral in Florida or Edwards Air Force Base in California to check and made certain no chemicals from the Space Cruisers affect the nearby environment.
Health
Knee injury forced her to quit martial art training, she also is allergic to tree pollen and cat dander. She also suffers from herpetophobia (Fear of snakes). Whenever she sees a tornado on television, it makes her slightly nervous because she is reminded of a powerful tornado that levelled much of Opp when she was a child, but she won't let it affect her life.
Family
Her parents, Richard and Lorraine, and her two older brothers, Joseph and Brian, run a family business in Opp, Alabama; a rapidly growing steel mill started by her grandfather had started in 2004. Callie herself is single at the moment, the result of a bad relationship while away in college.
Biography
Callie Spencer was born in Opp, Alabama, at a time when her town was experiencing a growth of business and prosperity. Growing up, her family was very popular and easily identified with the steel industry. Callie, though, didn't enjoy this kind of life and wanted something different. She wasn't sure where she belonged, until Career Day at Opp Elementary School. She met someone who worked with the environment and engineering at the same time. She was so intrigued by that she made it her career choice. Her family supported her every step of the way, saying it was important for her to follow her own dreams, even if it means not doing the same thing as the others. She worked hard in high school and college, which led to her graduating Magna Cum Laude at MIT in Bioengineering. The World Space Agency (WSA) hired her upon getting her Master's Degree, and she worked for the WSA...until International Rescue sent out a call to her.
Entrance
After IR had saved astronauts on a Space Cruiser near Cape Canaveral, Callie was called in to investigate chemical interactions between the cruiser's fuel and IR's dicetyline. After being sidetracked, she received a letter from IR itself with the solution to the problem...and a request for her to come to its base. She learned she was not only needed for her scientific expertise, but also as a much-needed third space monitor at Thunderbird Five. Following some reservations, she took the job. Her cover job is Environmental Specialist at Tracy Industries in Honolulu, Hawaii.
