Additional Information

Giana O'Neil is a young woman who, after winning a lottery drawing, is rescued from Caprica by Sharon Valerii and Karl Agathon.

Her husband served as a medic in the Colonial Fleet near Gemenon and was presumed dead (Miniseries). She has a daughter from a previous marriage.

O'Neil enlists in the Colonial Fleet and becomes a mechanic on the Galactica, putting her civilian experience as an aeronautical engineer to use. She bonds with Chief Tyrol, and immediately picks up on his relationship with Sharon Valerii, stating she knows an "office romance" when she sees one. She she is quickly reunited with her husband and daughter, who managed to get off Gemenon aboard the container ship Cybele. Unbeknown to her, her husband Simon is actually a Number Four model Cylon. He later commits suicide when he is ordered to blow up the Cybele by Brother John Cavil, choosing to die rather than hurt the ones he loved and believing his love for his wife Giana would outlast his death. O'Neil is questioned regarding the incident by Colonel Tigh, and although she defends her late husband and denies that he is a Cylon, she later confides to Tyrol that she knew he was one for some time. She claims his choice was heroic, and she'd do the same if she suspected she were a Cylon too (The Plan). This later prompts Tyrol to ponder and attempt suicide himself (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I).
