Character Draft Awaiting Approval
"Ashley Kerina" was a Starfleet Science Officer who was born of a rather unique set of circumstances being of Romulan and Orion descent, raised by humans, and brought up in their footsteps. She was on a leave of absence when the struggle between Romulus and the other global powers began. In her attempts to get back to Starfleet, she stumbled upon a few members from the Theurgy when she was on leave who she then joined in their fight with the infested.
Biography
Born on the Orion colony of Tavros, Vondem in the year 2351, Kerina was a protected secret by her Romulan father and Orion mother who were skeptical of their respective governments and the possibility of losing their daughter to the slave trades or worse, the Tal Shiar. To make sure that their governments didn't discover her, Kerina's father had connections within the Federation and reached out to the Nichols for the safe passage of their daughter. At this time, she was around 2 years old. After meeting up, they took her as their own giving her the name, Ashley Kerina Nichols until the day she could restore her Orion heritage and break free as her own person.
As Kerina grew up, she discovered that she was not like those of her parents' friends but that most treated her kindly enough. Unaware of the extent of her hybrid heritage, she followed in the Nichols footsteps with an intense curiosity in the Sciences. Things like time travel, stellar cartography, and cybernetics really piqued her interest. But there would always be this hole related to her needing to know more about where she came from.
Starfleet Academy
As she graduated high school and entered the Academy, she didn't realize the strings that needed to be pulled with her being partially Romulan and Orion, two of the Federation's consistent problem species at this time. She also gained a fair amount of teasing and bullying during her time there despite making some friends along the way. Digging into her books, she made a deeper connection with her relationship with the pursuit of knowledge.
After graduation, she was acknowledged as the first Orion/Romulan hybrid in Starfleet and was also able to have her permanent record reflect her true name. Her adoptive parents encouraged her to take off the Nichols name but she opted to keep her adoptive first name of Ashley, to be known as Cadet Ashley Kerina.
Time in Space
Kerina spent the better part of her early career serving in the science departments of larger exploration vessels. One of her favorites was serving aboard the USS Challenger as an Ensign where she was able to learn in a ship dedicated to exploring the great unknowns. That was however before the Dominion War took hold and she was forced to use her skills for peace and knowledge to that of trying to protect those of her shipments. With the infestation from the changelings and the consistent cloak-and-dagger battles, she was done with war, but still had a role to provide. She was able to discern those who were replaced by changelings however based on a rather complex scanning of their cellular structure using a specialized add-on to the tricorders produced from positronic technology.
After her time on the Challenger, she put in for a transfer to the USS Eagle-A, another Galaxy class vessel where she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and given the opportunity for more specialized research, which appeased her for a time. When she felt she'd begun repeating similar duties and opportunities to her time on the Challenger, she requested some personal leave of absence to further explore her Romulan heritage.
Leading Up To The Theurgy
Unaware of the galaxy being in disarray, she was on her own operating as simply Kerina, and undercover as well as off the books, on the Romulan homeworld as she attended some museums, classes and attempted to find her birth family.
That was when she'd begun to hear of a rather interesting tale of infested not only in Starfleet but across various species and borders. The science nerd in her found intrigue causing her to begin sniffing out leads before she was discovered by a secret away team to Romulus from the USS Theurgy. From that moment, Ashley knew where she was needed and would likely get the yearning she strived for. Still not giving up on the hope of discovering her birth parents, she knew in time she'd unravel that. But for now, she planned to help the crew of the Theurgy as they continued to battle the infested across borders.
Personality Profile
Ashley is intelligent and naturally curious in the sciences as she explores things that consistently boggle her mind. Sort of a bookworm but also not totally aware of her natural beauty despite knowing it's there, sometimes she needs to be reminded because of the lingering comments from her time at the Academy. She sometimes mistakes an individual's interest in her not knowing if it was for her thoughts alone or her beauty due to this. Kerina is often puzzled by the notion of her not knowing her history despite delving deep into what she could in school on the cultures and Starfleet's history. Oftentimes, she can be soft-spoken, and others warm and gentle, or intense depending on her excitement level.
Physical Profile
Physically fit, strong, beautiful, and alluring to the eye with the sheen of Orion skin and the prestige of Romulan ears, she stands a step above most in beauty. Not to mention being a hybrid, she is a hot commodity in the Orion slave trade. In addition to her slender form, she has a great bust and an impressive beach body. No tattoos or body piercings.
