Though I've heard different opinions, I've always enjoyed Spirit as my wingman. She was the first to take us out into combat way back on the Claw and she always let us take the kill. Her father, Major Tanaka Shun was killed in the brutal McAuliffe ambush of '34. Her fiance was taken prisoner by the Kilrathi back in WC1: SM2 and was held as a leverage against her. That eventually led to her death at Heaven's Gate in WC2, where she rammed the station with all of her torpedoes armed, causing the destruction of both her and the station.

If I have made a mistake (even a typo, my 'w' key is very unreliable) or if you feel I've missed an important character then mail me. I promise you'll recieve credit and you'll be doing me a great favour. Thanks :)
