History: River was born on the planet of Osiris to Regan and Gabriel Tam five years after her brother Simon was born. She was a hyper intelligent child and had a ready grasp of complex subjects. She was also a passionate dancer and closest to her brother Simon. She and Simon would play games with one another and Simon said River had a third eye since she always knew what girls he liked. Simon states that river could make him look like the idiot child and that she was correcting his spelling when she was three years old. She was fourteen and in university level classes.
She was fourteen when she got accepted to the Academy, a government run learning facility. River was excited to go to a school that would challenge her high intellect and her parents sent her believing it was going to nuture her hyper intelligence, but in reality it was just a cover for the experimentation that was going on behind the walls of the academy. River was experimented on secretly and they stripped her amygdala which prevents River from filtering emotions. She descends into insanity and nurtures psychic and intuitive abilities. It is assumed that River had some form of latent psychic abilities prior to being recruited to the academy. This translated into her full mindreading ablities.
The Alliance isolated River from her family, she did manage to send a call for help in coded messages to her brother Simon. Three years after she was in the academy her brother Simon saved her after he lost all of his money. River has since been moved to the ship Serenity. She is making friends on Serenity and working on getting better. She has shown some great skills in hand to hand combat taking out people without much trouble and without injury. She is also skilled with firearms and her intelligence allows her to look at the field and memorize it.
