Jyn grows up the daughter of a farmer, but her mother teaches her to fight, and her father to think. She may be a farmer, but she still has an Imperial accent.
Defiant and not jaded by her upbringing, hoping for something more, Jyn runs away to join the rebellion without knowing her parents' past. She butts heads with Cassian more than once, mostly for her refusal to reveal her last name, much less her past.
Then, the Alliance intercepts a coded message: Someone named Galen Erso has been put to work on the Empire's newest, deadliest weapon at Eadu, and he has breathed new life into the project. It is almost complete.
Cassian is sent to kill Galen Erso, and Jyn, unable to help herself, follows.
And then ~things happen~, I guess. It's all your ballgame from here.
+ Lyra becomes a hostage, and the impetus for Galen's cooperation. ++ Bodhi is a Rebel pilot, because fuck yeah, he doesn't need Galen to push him to defect, he would do that in any timeline. +++ Jyn and K-2 are BROS, and Cassian hates it, until he doesn't. (They're only bros in the first place because K-2 knows, statistically, that Jyn is good for Cassian's survival probability.) ++++ Chirrut and Baze are part of the story somehow, for the love of all that is holy and Force-like.
Cassian/Jyn, Krennic finds Galen far later
