Jutte Betham

Overview
Jutte Betham, the first General of the Air Force and the first Air Marshal of the Ikarian Air Force, enlisted in the newly opened Air Force when she was just 15. Having come from a period of Ikarian Disarmament in which the Ikarian Military at its lowest had just about 150 Officers total, she quickly rose through the ranks and in the span of just 6 years, she became the General of the Air Force and the first Air Marshal. An impressive feat and as the youngest of her friend group. One of her best friends, Erisa Yuki, was just a year older and sat just at the rank of Captain, though she was later made a Marshal in the Army, a now dissolved rank which has been replaced with the rank of General.

Birth and Childhood
Jutte was born in the city of Nedeer in the year 192. She went on to join the Ikarian Army in the year 207 and by the age of 21, she had become the first General of the Air Force and the first Air Marshal.

As a child, she often was reserved and quiet, though once she joined the Military, her boisterous and obnoxious personality came front and center and she was known for yelling at her subordinates almost daily, though her troops were known to be some of the most well-disciplined and behaved in the entire Military.

Relationship With Her Father
Jutte's relationship with her father was always one of the worst experiences of her entire life. Her father was an alcoholic who constantly emotionally and physically abused Jutte, though she was finally taken in by her mother at the age of 12, with whom she lived with for the next 3 years before joining the Army Air Force and then becoming one of the first Officers to join the Ikarian Air Force.

The First Great War
Being one of the first nations to adopt an Air Force, Ikaria mostly ruled the skies in the early periods of the war in which the Empire of Ardenia and Nodria declared war on the Empire of Ikaria, the Holy Kingdom of Istra, and the Knights of Ciron. Jutte herself took to the skies to rain hell upon the Ardenian Forces in the North while many other soldiers from the Ikarian Army Air Force took to the South to defend against the Nodrian Army. After the Great War, most nations followed Ikaria in adopting an Air Force.

Marriage
In the year 212, just before the Ikarian Civil War broke out, Jutte Betham married Amberjill Middleton, an Admiral in the Ikarian Navy. Before the Civil War, the two often were in their own little bubble, but once the war broke out, their relationship was quite professional and they weren't able to take much time to spend time with one another, though once the war ended, they went back to their normal lives, skipping on many things to spend time in secret together.

Dates of Rank
