Skylar Lykke
Relationship: First girlfriend, old friend
Appearance/Stats: Human female. Brown hair, blue eyes, 35, 5'7", hourglass figure.
Background: Sky found Spiegel when one of her friends randomly picked him out of the crowd during some street-side guerrilla improv. She was curious about this curly haired boy who was spouting off about a very obscure catholic saint, who happened to be featured on the shirt she was wearing that day. When this amusing technical prophet extracted himself from the lunatic theater people, she managed to tail him to the restaurant that was his intended destination before he got waylayed by her friends. After some awkward, though interesting, conversation over a meal, he invited her to go out dancing with him. She introduced him to her friends, and found out he has some tricks up his sleeve. From there, they dated a while.
When he left for Starfleet Academy, they broke up on good terms and kept in contact somewhat. His mother would send him play bills from whatever show she was in, and when he was back in the city, he'd try to make it out to see her perform. Once he graduated from the Acad and got his first posting, he started to find it harder to keep in contact with her. It didn't help that about that time a traveling Klingon Opera troupe started to woo her to join them. Spiegel only found about about this step up in her career when they crossed paths as he was transferring to the Rothmore, and she was headed back to earth after her first season of travel with the troupe. They had a delightful fling for old time's sake, and did a better job of keeping in touch after that.
When he was blind sided by Jenni, and eventually conned into marrying her, he ended up cutting ties with Sky because Jenni didn't like her. Sky was angry and hurt by this, having liked Jenni until being forced to lose her friend due to the woman's insecurity. Once that marriage fell apart, Spiegel attempted to get back in contact with Sky, but so far has been unsuccessful.
Jennifer Greenshire-Spiegel
Relationship: ex-wife
Appearance/Stats: Human female. Strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, 27, 5'8", lean and muscular, but curvarious.
Background: The daughter of a ranch hand and the cheating wife of a beef farmer, Jenni was riding from a young age, and learning the ways of a ranch life. In high school, she started into the professional rodeo circuit, and started to make a name for herself.
When one of her friends started going on about how awesome it was to have a man in starfleet, Jenni was naturally curious, and asked her friend to have her man bring along some friends next time he visited. The only one who was pursuaded to come was Spiegel, and Jenni was all over him like a fly on a horse's rear end, trying to present herself so as to best keep his attention. She decided, within twenty-four hours of meeting him, she was going to marry him, and made with the active pursuit. It only took about six months to win him over, and she planned out the wedding of her dreams, made him cut off contact with the most likely source of competition for his attention, and started to plan out the rest of her life and retirement from the rodeo circuit.
He didn't cooperate with her plans, liking starships better than good solid earth, and shipped her back to earth, while staying at his duty assignment on the USS Francisco, after only three months of marriage. She figured he'd come around eventually, and just satisfied herself by starting work on their ranch home, getting the occasional action from the various ranch hands she hired to help out, and was utterly shocked when for their half year anniversary, he had divorce papers served to her. Furious that he'd dare throw such a wrench into her plans for a nice settled life, she put up a rip roaring fight throughout the year it took to finalize the divorce. She eventually picked out the best looking of her various ranch hands, and settled into a quiet life in the middle of Texas.
