CONSTANCE J. GREENE
“Given the right amount of time, one’s imaginations and earnest efforts can establish a bright hope for the morrow. But Chase Lewis if you pay no attention to the present, you will suffer a dull life indeed…in more ways than one!
Constance, 16, is from Baltimore, Maryland, 1906. “CJ” is kind, energetic and the cheerful optimist of the bunch. But don’t mistake her optimism for naiveté; Constance is very intelligent and outspoken. She is tactful with her wit…and her left hook!
Her upper body strength is just as powerful as her mind, and she easily slips into her tomboy personality. Despite being extremely beautiful, she lacks confidence in her femininity and struggles with behaving “appropriately.” Being caught between two very different times doesn’t make matters any easier!
Constance is fascinated with the biological and physical sciences and that is especially evident in her thoughtful approach to problem solving. She is also very concerned with the health and well being of the team, sometimes to a fault.

Each year for my family Christmas cards, I illustrate our family doing something (because the holiday season isn’t busy enough I suppose.) Here is an image of our 2009 Hampson family Christmas card.

KAIA CHIYOKO
(sarcastically) “Chase, this wouldn’t be a problem for you in my future. Progress has left us with plenty of time to focus on what matters most to us. Whatever that is.”
Kaia, 18, is from Kyoto, Japan, 2079. She has dark hair, green eyes and a sleek physique. She is extremely agile and a gifted gymnast…a skill that comes in handy when stealth is required. Her unique blend of martial arts and aggressive style makes her the tip of the spear on missions.
Kaia has great confidence in the progress of science and relies heavily on technology but lacks confidence in her own intellectual abilities. This is especially true in cultural and historical perspectives.
She is stoic and sometimes unexpressive which can easily be misinterpreted as aloof and relationally detached…although relationships are definitely not a strength. Her touch of future snobbery doesn’t help in that department either!
