Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Lissa grew up on Starships, Lissa is comfortable around all races and people. Teachers often described her as outgoing, and took note that she was often the one to make sure that new students knew where everything was and made a point to introduce them to the other children and helped them to make friends. She is still like this as an adult. At the Academy, and so far in her history with Starfleet, she has been able to meet and make a lot of friends, and bring a lot of diverse groups of people together and form large, close knit social groups. She likes to throw parties - particularly if there is dancing and live music or karaoke involved. In her career she had early mentors that took her under her wing to build her up, and she was quick to turn around and pay it forward to recent graduates who came after her. |
|
| Strengths & Weaknesses | *social *kind, inclusive *knowledgeable in her field *easily hurt - takes others' words and actions too personally *has trouble being alone for extended periods of time *prejudice against Orions (yes she's half-Orion) |
|
| Ambitions | To find and meet some of her Orion family, or at least find them and see what they are doing. She is currently taking extension courses to help in field medicine. While she once wanted to be a department head one day, she's had her eye on medical officers and what they do to help people and has considered it as a career change. |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | hanging out with friends at parties - doesn't have to be loud and crazy, just people talking and playing games is fine; water sports - swimming, sunbathing, water-skiing, inner-tubing, anything near or in water; karaoke, musical theater |
| Personal History | Lissa was born on a Starship, her father a first officer, and her mother a political refugee at the time. She has no siblings due to the fact that extreme medical intervention was needed for her parents to conceive due to physical torture that her mother had endured in an "unofficial" Orion slave labor camp before escaping to Federation space. The pregnancy was hard on mother and baby alike. Runa called Lissa her miracle, and so she became the only child of her parents, but Lissa made up for it by always finding friends aboard the ship. Lissa loved living aboard Starships, and was no stranger to making friends with the adult officers on board as well. She knew she wanted to go into Starfleet as well. Occasionally the science officers would give her things to do - menial tasks with plants or molds, but they made Lissa feel like an important part of the team. Lissa was always one to find the new kid or the outsider on board to try to make them fit in. This effort she put in to helping others caused her to develop a bit of sensitivity in her own right when she wasn't accepted by someone. She still struggles with this as an adult. When someone doesn't like her she can try too hard... Or retreat a bit an ruminate in her own mind and get into a bit of sadness about it. |
