Bravo Fleet
Summary
Thisbe is a mixed race person of Cardassian and Bajoran descent. Her father is Cardassian, and mother was Bajoran (mother now deceased). She was raised on Cardassia Prime by her father. Her Cardassian features are more prominent-the ridges above her nose, but she does not have the ridges in her neck, owing to her Bajoran genes. Her father was a Cardassian warrior, and her mother was a Bajoran prisoner.
Appearance
Like most Cardassians, Thisbe has grey-ish skin and dark skin, though she has blue eyes and no ridges of scales on her neck. She has the hallmark ridges above her nose, in a slight blue color, and curly hair, which is a Bajoran trait, as all known Cardassians have straight hair.
She owns, but does not wear the Bajoran traditional/religious earring, except for special occasions. Hers was her mothers.
Out of uniform, Thisbe is usually found in traditional garb or sometimes loose, casual clothing, like lounge outfits. She likes to wear her hair in a long braid, as it is very thick.
Personality
Like both of her parental races, Thisbe is very smart, with a head for engineering science and mathematics. She attended only Cardassian schools, starting at three years of age, where she learned many traits of leadership but does *NOT* have a photographic memory, because of the Bajoran genes she has.
Unlike her Cardassian forbearers she isn’t a warring type, even going so far as to physically remove herself from confrontation (some people call this being a pushover). She is very caring, warm, and personable-her father said she was a “broken” Cardassian, because when he tried to get her to fight in the military, she would not. She does not even raise her voice.
History
Born on Bajora but raised on Cardassian Prime, Thisbe moved around the Cardassian Empire because her father is a government official. He was a Major in the Cardassian Army during the Occupation of Bajora, but now serves as an Advisor to the Ruler. As such, she was raised to and was expected to hold a decorated military career of her own. However, because of her own idealistic morals, perhaps owing to her Bajoran mother, or to an inherent character flaw, she could not pick up arms against other species. Once her father realized that she’d never be a decorated solider like himself, instead, he arranged for her to be married to another senior politician’s son. That son, Ban’gore Ruk, was a General by age 29. Wanting more for her life than just being a wife or a trained, mindless killer, she left the planet in the dark of night, leaving a letter for her father that she was going to Bajora to find her mother’s family, that she loved him, and would see him again someday.
After “procuring” a spaceship through a friend who had a crush on her, she, instead, headed for open-air space. Being sighted by the Breen that kept a continual watch on Cardassian airspace, though, she was soon engaged in a battle of wits (and actual weapons). Using a wormhole, she was able to escape, but not until she sustained much damage to her ship. Lost in the Galaxy, she floated helplessly, unless she was spotted by the USS Revere Scout ship in the deepest throws of space, and was rescued.
After the CO of the Revere determined her tale to be truthful, or at least as truthful as he believed a Cardassian could be, she was allowed to stay aboard, and was dropped off at DS9 during a refueling. From there, she hooked up with a contingency of Bajoran Starfleet officers, who took her under their wing, and she was able to learn their ways. She soon met an American Starfleet commander, a man called Jonathon Reynolds, who helped her to secure an engineering job on his vessel as a civilian. Commander Reynolds helped her to apply to the Starfleet Academy, using her Bajoran genealogy to justify why she isn’t as war-like as her compatriots. She was accepted, and graduated last year, at the rank of Ensign. Soon, she was on the roster for several assignments, choosing this as her first “Starfleet home.” Someday, she hopes to see Cdr. Reynolds again, to thank him.
