Biography
Background Story:
<Pre-Starfleet>
Winter Kestra Bannin was born on the Cestus III colony the daughter of Aelun Bannin and Nalas Gerron and despite her father being Bajoran, he grew up during the occupation of his home world and with what was left of his family fled the home world where he left everything connected there behind, even to the point of refusing to follow the beliefs of his people.
Winter had a somewhat stable home life as her mother was a teacher and her father was a civilian engineer but she would occasionally get into fights due her mother's genes giving her access to limited telepathy which allowed her to read emotions and thought patterns but she would never be accepted as a full member of her mother's people, but everything changed one day in twenty three sixty five when her father jumped at a chance of a lifetime and was temporally assigned to the USS Enterprise-D and the rest of his family would join him a couple of months later after the end of the local school year.
On stardate 42761.3, that changed.
One day while doing her homework after school when she was eleven, a couple of star fleet officers came to her home and gave her mother the bad news that her father had been killed when the section of the Enterprise's saucer section was cut out by a hostile force that the ship encountered called the "Borg" which broke her mother and lead to Winter having more problems at school until a friend of the family, Chloe Baral, took her under her wing and helped to understand that her mother needed her among other things and the fighting stopped for a while.
<The Academy Years>
Shortly after she turned seventeen in the early part of twenty three seventy one, Winter decided to follow Chole's example and told her mother that she was going to join star fleet which she agreed to and she was on her way to Earth as she chose security as her primary field of study and while she was there she made a few friends but one in particular, Lydda Davis, helped her to come more out of her shell in their first year and the two became inseparable even to the point of Lydda being her first lover which helped to give Winter some semblance of a stable life in a universe that was slowly growing closer to a war.
<The post Academy/USS New Jersey Years>
When the Dominion War broke out during their third year at the academy, both women were assigned to the refitted Ambassador class New Jersey as the need for qualified officers became great in the aftermath of the Klingon War the year prior caused all cadets in their third and fourth years to be moved to active duty with Winter being a security officer and Lydda as an engineer.
For the entirety of the war, Winter served on the New Jersey under Captain Kalmus of Vulcan where she was apart of several of the battles of the war including the horrible battle in the Tyra system where her ship was one of the fourteen ships of the seventh fleet to survive in 2374.
However tragedy struck Winter as during the Kalandra Campaign towards the end of the war, the New Jersey was hit in the engineering deck by a Jem'Hadar torpedo and Lydda managed to save the ship at the cost of her own life and Winter's life was shattered for a while.
<Post Dominion War/The Highlander & Dauntless years>
Winter took some leave after the war to return home to properly mourn her loss and reassure her mom that she hadn't become a total stranger, she revisited some of her old haunts and reconnected with those friends of hers that she had lost contact with after the war began which helped to ground her which slowly but surely allowed her to heal and learn to smile again.
At the end of her leave she found herself assigned to the Highlander, one of the new Sovereign class ships, as a security officer and went about her duties without any problems, even taking apart of the occasional ship talent shows but she turned down an offer to join the Enterprise-E's security department on the grounds due to personal reasons.
She was starting to spread her wings fully when in may of 2379, she was assigned to join the security department of the USS Dauntless, an Akira-class star ship and did well there and eventually was promoted to the rank of lieutenant junior grade.
<The Cayuga Years>
Personality Profile
While on duty, Winter is a professional, usually staying quiet and observing everything that goes on around her in order to evaluate possible situations and trying to create tactical plans to counter any possible threat situations and displays a continuous urgency about investigations that she pursues-a very professional soldier of the Federation while on the clock.
Off duty on the other hand, Winter is laid back and enjoys spending time doing things like sitting in the lounge and drawing or just generally hanging out and listening to music with his friends but she prefers to keep her on duty and off duty lives separate.
Despite having discovering her interest in both men and women at an early age, she is picky about who she takes to bed with her and is a very loyal problem to the point of fighting for those that she cares about, but past pains have usually caused her to keep most people at bay in that regard.
Winter enjoys drawing and does so rather artfully as she has quite the eye for detail allows her to capture details in her drawings that show that in another life, she might have been quite the professional artist.
Physical Profile
Winter is an attractive, curvy yet muscular woman that is a testament to her workout regimen with vibrant red hair that descends in waves down her back past her shoulder blades and a pair of deep green eyes that seem to be piercing at times, however her eyes are a different shade then the Betazoid norm due to her half-Bajoran heritage which also grants her a slightly less pronounced nose ridge more common to full bloody members of her father's race.
Winter works out like it's a religion and it shows by how muscular she is and a flat belly but due to her mother's genetics she also has a plump but perky bust.

Special Notes (Optional)
Like most half-Betazoids, Winter can read emotions and the thought patterns of other sentient lifeforms which she has actually trained herself to focus on one singular thought pattern rather then a group of people and as such refuses to play any form of games of chance unless it's apart of an undercover operation where such knowledge is useful.
