|[[Gran-Gran]] telling [[Spensa]] of her mother's sacrifice during the crash of the ''[[Defiant]]''{{book ref|sky1|45}}

}}

'''Spensa's great-grandmother''' is an engineer on the ''[[Defiant]]'' and the fleet's [[cytonics|cytonic hyperdrive]]. She is married to [[Spensa's great-grandfather]] the mother of [[Becca Nightshade]].{{book ref|sky1|45}}

 

Due to her cytonic abilities, as well as by virtue of being part of the engineers of the ''Defiant'', Spensa's great-mother is resented and feared by the other occupants of the fleet. Gran-Gran implies her mother was the only cytonic aboard the ''Defiant'', and the only one able to jump the fleet using faster than light travel.{{book ref|sky1|45}}

 

Spensa's great-mother travelled as part of the ''Defiant Fleet'' prior to its crash onto [[Detritus]]. As her cytonic abilities are genetic, and the engineers were feared for their abilities, it is likely that her parents were also engineers aboard the ''Defiant'' and she was born on the ship. However, it is implied by Gran-Gran that those in the engineers were the first humans to reach space, making it possible that Spensa's great-grandmother was born on [[Earth_(Skyward)|Old Earth]].{{book ref|sky1|45}}

|[[Gran-Gran]] talking about her mother with [[Spensa]]{{book ref|sky1|45}}

}}

Gran-Gran resented her mother following her death, as she was too young to understand her mothers choices. At some point during Gran-Gran's life, she accepted the sacrifice her mother made, and now views her mother as a warrior who made a courageous choice. [[Spensa's mother]] prohibited Gran-Gran from telling Spensa about her great-grandmothers abilities, a request that Gran-Gran upheld until Spensa brought up the defect and how she thought she might have it.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
