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 whom 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 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 interests. 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 at her time there despite making some friends along the way. Digging into her books, she made a deeper connection with her relationship for 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.

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.
