Agent Tanya Verde is a self-insert, so I have the whole multiverse to pick from. Let's go with Trekverse. I like playing in Trekverse.
Her home fic begins with her and her BFF, Mary Sue, taking their Starfleet Academy entrance exams. Sue gets in easily, while Tanya doesn't make it at all. The PPC agents comment to each other that it took Picard two tries to get in. Sue expresses her sympathies, then promptly shoves Tanya into a plothole as she time skips to graduating the academy (top of the class, of course) and getting immediately assigned to the flagship of the fleet, the Enterprise-D. (It's only now we figure out that the fic is TNG-verse - the summary said so, but nothing in the fic up until this point has indicated anything.) She is obviously the best, and gets to work with all the senior officers on a regular basis, especially Lt. Commander Data. Only…could she possibly be developing a crush on the android? Oh, why did she fall for a man with no emotions, her senior officer to boot! He could never love her! They manage to become friends, but that's just not enough! Meanwhile, the Enterprise has just been assigned to carry a group of scientists to a planet for some purpose (the particular scientific discipline or purpose is irrelevant), and Tanya is one of them. They reconnect, and Sue thinks that's great until Data starts working with the scientists (discipline still unspecified) - and Tanya confides that she's starting to have a crush on him too! To make matters worse, Data's spending less time with Sue and more time with the scientists. Sue breaks down and cries, because she'll never get him, even though she's so gorgeous and smart and perfect! (the wangst goes on much longer). Finally, she resolves to admit her feelings to Data. She bursts into the science lab and proclaims her love for Data in front of Tanya and a group of Generic Scientists. Data spontaneously develops emotions, and starts crying, saying that he loves her. She asks him why he was spending so much time with the (still unspecified) scientists, and he says it was purely work, and that he missed her. Tanya looks griefstricken, and Data and Sue move as if to close the distance between them…except that the PPC steps in and reads off the charge list, culminating in the charge currently paralyzing Data - making an android emotional. Sue is killed, canon reverts to normal but for Tanya still standing in the middle of a science lab. The agents ask her if she wants to join the PPC, she asks what they do, and when they respond "kill people like her" and gesture to Sue's body, Tanya responds "Oh hell yes!", and joins.
I don't know where her sister fits into this, though. So if she was recruited this way agent Joani wouldn't exist, unless perhaps Joani appeared in a Voyager era fic by the same author as the BFF of that Sue. They were recruited seperately, and due to timeline confusion on the part of the Suethor are three years apart in age.
That was fun.
