Line 1:
Paula Trainor is the best friend of [[Amy Barksdale]] in [[Brother Grimace]]'s "[[A Path of Roses and Thorns]]." She is the Associate Dean of Military Sciences at Tennyson University, and a full Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. She possesses several degrees, including Master's and doctoral degrees in Political Science and a Master's in biology (with a specialization in genetic abnomalities).
(It is never stated exactly what Paula's duties in uniform entail, but it is known that she was the commander of a nuclear missile site at one time, and served at some time during the Reagan Administration (between August 1981 and June 1984) as the officer who "carried the Football." She also apparently has enough authority to allow her to intimidate Federal officers, and be immediately appraised of emergency situations throughout the government.) It has been recently revealed that Paula's last posting, before she was assigned to Tennyson University, was as the Director of Project Fast Forward
Paula is an African-American woman of thirty-nine, very attractive and slightly vain about her appearance (she once bragged about having the same clothing size since her time in college), and not at all reluctant to speak her mind. Paula is also a lesbian, and while she is not openly gay (because she wishes to remain in the military), she does have a semi-public relationship with [[Sammi Rudolph]]. She does not let her sexuality act as the primary focus of her life (she once jokingly remarked that she has saved that position for her quest to get Amy married). She is a native Rhode Islander and presumably quite wealthy (according to the car she owns - a custom-made BMW roadster - and the eclectic mix of A-list persons that she knows; she once insinuated that she has a personal relationship with members of Great Britian's Royal Family). She also has a slight dislike of Southerners (or perhaps just of [[Daniel St. John]]).
