Appearance

With dark hair and grey eyes, Alex’s Slavic roots are evident, and Aleksandra is always impeccably turned out in a crisp uniform.
Personality
Lt Commander Vodrova is ambitious and assertive, partly due to her diminutive stature – Alex tends to seek to take the initiative and can seem combative and overly assertive as a result. Nevertheless, Aleksandra is an astute judge of people and their motivations – her Russian heritage often meaning that she will openly state her thoughts and opinions without filters or “window-dressing”, making objective statements seemingly without thought to their impact.
History
Aleksandra Aloyna Vodrova was born in Liteyny Prospekt in St Petersburg in 2371, moving to Luna with her family when her father gained employment a Worker bee operator at the Copernicus Shipyards.
As a child, Alex would sometimes hitch a ride with her “Папа” as he worked, looking out in wonder at the superstructure of a Starfleet Vessel as it was slowly born, her mind teeming with the possible futures that the beautifully – lined vessel would one day transport her crew towards.
Starfleet Academy was the logical and only career pathway for Aleksandra and although she sometimes struggled with her academic studies, she applied the same dogged resolve that typified all of her actions and persevered to complete the Bridge Officer’s course & graduate the Academy as an Ensign in 2391.
Ensign Vodrova was assigned to 4th fleet as a Junior Helm Officer aboard the Sovereign Class Exploratory Cruiser USS Hyperion and thrilled at the opportunity to pilot such a magnificent vessel.
Aleksandra’s next posting was less Prestigeous, as she transferred to the Nova Class Survey Vessel USS Cousteau. Nevertheless, Alex applied herself to her role as Chief Helm Officer with customary aplomb and rose to the rank of Lt (SG).
With advancement to the rank of Lt Commander, Aleksandra Vodrova elected to tread the path of a Command Officer and put in for a transfer to the California class Utility Cruiser USS Sacramento as Executive Officer – correctly assuming that this posting is a sensible career step towards gaining her own command eventually.
