Summary

Having always been fascinated by space and the stars since she was a young girl she knew her path would lead her to Starfleet. She is an incredibly brilliant individual when it comes to most areas of science as things just click for her but she has always struggled to make personal connections with those around her. This aspect of her personality has always bothered her as she wants to be more outgoing but really struggles to open up with people and has always had an issue picking up on even the most oblivious to most social queues.

 

Appearance

Standing at 1.55 meters and weighing 50kg she has brown hair but started dyeing it blond at the academy and blue eyes.

Model: Avril Lavigne

Personality

She has always struggled when it comes to dealing with and interacting with people outside of her immediate family or when it comes to non-work-related topics. Fully aware of this it has always bothered her that she is shy and hesitant to engage with others though she has never been able to figure out why. To overcome this she has adopted a fairly formal manner of speaking with people she has to interact with people.

 

History

Early Years

Showing promise early in life when it came to the academic pursuits she fell in love with space and the stars so she knew her path would lead her to Starfleet. Growing up in the northwest of what was the UK, in Liverpool she was lucky that she was also able to get away from things and escape into Wales and the surrounding countryside when she needed peace and quiet.

Academy

Enrolling in the academy at 17 she left home and moved to San Francisco. Finding it difficult to click with the other students outside of her science class she did harbour a bit of jealousy and resentment for being on the outside and missing so many of the more social aspects of the academy in terms of extra circulars but also on a more personal level. Due to this she threw herself completely into her study and graduated in the top 3% of her class hoping to land an assignment aboard one of the fleet’s science vessels or research stations.

USS Daradax

Assigned to the USS Daradax after graduation as the science and medical officer. She always felt the medical part was odd as she had little more experience than most graduates.  She was disappointed that it has not one of the fleet’s science vessels as she has requested. Though disappointed she intends to make the most of it to get where she wants. But she is concerned about working with the new crew for an extended period of time in such a confined space as she cannot lock herself in her room when she is off duty – maybe this will force her to get past her shyness she hopes.

Here concerns where unfounded as the two other junior officers, Belania and Ril took her under their wings and helped her open up a bit. Though still shy she is slowly opening up to new people.

USS Sojourner

Reassigned with the Daradax crew to the new pathfinder class vessel, the USS Sojourner, she was promoted to become the chief science officer on the long-range science vessel. definitely feeling out of her depths she plunged into the delta quadrant with the rest fo the crew.
