Voice Type: Yael Goldstein speaks with firm authority and a controlled intensity. Her voice carries the weight of experience, shaped by years of combat and survival in unforgiving environments. She is direct, measured, and rarely raises her voice—she doesn’t need to. When she gives an order, people listen. There’s a sharp edge to her tone, the kind that comes from knowing that hesitation gets people killed. While she is strict and often harsh, there’s a rare, underlying warmth when speaking to those she considers family. That side of her is subtle, but it’s there—buried under years of hardened discipline and Navarro’s ruthless influence.

Character Summary: Lieutenant Yael Goldstein is a soldier first, a leader second, and anything else comes dead last. Raised in the crime-ridden colony of Chi Chen, she clawed her way out of a world where life was cheap and survival meant being stronger, smarter, and faster than the people trying to tear you down. She found structure in Utukar System Dynamics, where she became a combat pilot and a hardened soldier under the mentorship of Josephina Navarro. Navarro saw potential in her, molded her into a weapon, and brought her into the ARC Project as her handpicked Drop Module Officer. Now, Yael is responsible for preparing her crew for the mission ahead, enforcing discipline with an iron grip, and ensuring no one under her command is ever caught unprepared. She is not cruel, but she is unyielding. Every rule she enforces, every order she gives—it’s all to keep her people alive. Failure is not an option, because failure means death.
