Born in Leipzig, Germany. Hadley did well in her high school classes - more than well enough to attend most gymnasiums of her choice, when she graduated from high school - but was surpassed by her siblings, who were being offered scholarships to gymnasiums and universities.
Andromaeu came to the attention of Leipzig's authorities when she began breaking the law to get her parents' attention. These efforts culminated at 18, when she was offered a choice between jail and the military; she chose the military, but may have been under duress from her parents.
After going through basic, she was assigned to Berlin, Germany and served there for two years before being reassigned to Persephone.
She is currently five years into a ten year tour of duty and has a commendation for quick thinking under fire during an incident that occurred a few weeks into her tour on Persephone.
