Amberjill Middleton

Overview
Amberjill Middleton was an Admiral in the Ikarian Navy during the First Great War and the Ikarian Civil War. She held the rank of Grand Fleet Admiral, which is equivalent to the present-day Fleet Admiral, though she acted as the Fleet Admiral of the Navy during the Ikarian Civil War and became the first to accept the rank in Ikarian history. She complemented her wife, Jutte Betham in this regard as Betham was also the first to serve as the highest rank in her respective branch in Ikarian history.

Birth and Childhood
As a child, she and Jutte were actually good friends. At one point, when she refused to go to Jutte's house, Jutte took a knife, cut a lock of her own hair, and then begged Amberjill to come to her house, to which she agreed. It would later turn out that this action taken by Jutte was to protect herself from her own father.

As a child, she was adventurous, curious, and overall interested in highly complex and strange ideas. Though nobody quite understood where that would take her in life.

Promotion to Fleet Admiral
Like Jutte Betham and many of her friends, she enlisted in the Military at a time of Ikarian Disarmament, and the Navy suffered the most out of any branch, so naturally she rose through the ranks with ease, becoming an Officer almost immediately as standards had gotten that low.

Soon, however, she was promoted to Grand Fleet Admiral, a now dissolved rank that has been replaced with Fleet Admiral. She, in the year 212, gratefully accepted the role, though in early 213, just as the Ikarian Civil War started up, she accepted the newly created rank of Fleet Admiral of the Navy.

Ikarian Civil War
As the civil war began, men and women signed up in droves, and a good percentage, by some estimates around 27% of all who signed up, went to the Navy, bringing its manpower up from around 20,000 to well over 700,000 by the end of the year 213, with the number only continuing to rise.

Amberjill's involvement was mostly in strategic and advisory role, advising the newly crowned Empress in daily military operations alongside her newly wed wife, Jutte Betham, and many of her friends, including Eloisa Upton and Silja Digby, though some of her friends including Erisa Yuki and Ichijou Maiko, who were lower ranking officers in command of a Rangers Company were in the thick of things.

Amberjill constantly lamented the fact that she had no time to herself or to spend on her newly wed wife, saying that it was "possibly the worst time for us to have tied the knot," so to make up for this fact, she spent almost everyday of the next year with her wife.
