Personal History
Early Life/Pre-Starfleet Career:
Aleiana Kniffin was born on the Elyse Outpost on the outskirts of the Alpha Quadrant. It wa a small settlement outpost that was a last stop kind of place for those ships going deeper into space etc. It was restbite. It was a medical stop. It was many things. Life was quiet and pleasant. Her mother was a medical officer in Starfleet and her Father an engineer.
She spent a lot of time playing with her younger brother Alek. She liked to swim, sing and draw in her spare time, and follow her mother around like a shadow. That was her favourite thing to do.
“Go and play!” she would say, but of course Ana as most people called her wasn’t having any of it. She liked to watch and learn. She would ask question after question. She grew up like this. Happy, healthy until she was able to apply for starfleet.
Academy/Technical Academy (if Starfleet):
She began the academy at the age of 18 like most humans. It wasn’t a breeze. She struggled with some parts of the academy. Temporal protocols for one. All the protocols were very very confusing, but she made it through. She wasn't first in her class, but she wasn't last. She was a wonderfully middle of the road student and finished the academy at 22yo. Then came the 4 years of Medical training with Starfleet. Now that was a lot of fun.
Scary, but fun. She enjoyed it, even when she thought she was so far out of her depth that she might drown. Anatomy and physiology she had down. Surgery and Diagnostics were her favourite areas to study. Psychology she excelled at (her father had always said there was Betazoid blood way back in the family. It was kind of like a running joke. All the women seemed to be good at reading people and a room).
She graduated at age 26 and was looking forward to her first assignment.
Previous Assignments (if applicable): None
Birthdate: 22nd May 2356

Personality
Department Preference: Medical
Commissioned, Enlisted or Civilian: Commissioned
Reason for joining Starfleet or moving to a Federation base:
This is next in her career. Her mother was a doctor, her father an engineer at the outpost but she wanted to go into star fleet to explore. To travel. To excel. She didn’t want to just stay put.
Academy/Tech Majors and Interests: Medical, Singing, Bioluminescence, Diagnostics
Hobbies:
Drawing (not amazing, just a hobby) and Singing. She loved to sing and perform as a child. She thinks of medical work as a kind of improv performance. The outcome should be the same. People should feel more whole, taken care of, seen and better than when they arrived.
Short-term Goals: Get out on her first mission.
Long-term Goals: To go on a deep space mission, or find the cure to an incurable ailment, reach command. She flits between them. Lofty goals for sure!
Defining Characteristic: Chatty, enthusiastic and compassionate
Sense of Humor: Quirky and often dry/slightly off the wall. A little...odd.
Phobias or Fears: Deep water and Parasites.
Favorite Things: Researching in Medical journals, surgical skills practice, Cheese, singing, Mr Squish
Least Favorite Things: The Temporal Prime Directive
Bad Habits or Vices: Nail biting, Butting into conversations or anticipating peoples words and jumping in without letting them speak.
Achievements (personal or professional): Completing her training at starfleet medical and being assigned.
Disappointments: Losing Mrs Squish
Illnesses: None of note to date
Strengths: Medicine, interacting with others, comforting others
Weaknesses: Confidence, second guessing, knowing her boundaries.
Prejudices: Seaweed. And strawberries. Deplorable organisms.
Please write a brief answer to 3 of the following (a sentence or two for each is fine):
Your character's most painful experience
Physically, her most painful experience was dislocating her hip once in the pool. She had been diving, and she did a backwards roll to try and push off the side, and just….pushed too hard at the wrong angle and popper her hip out of place. It was sorted very quickly, but until then it was incredibly painful.
Emotionally was when she went off to star fleet academy, and her younger brother Alek didnt want her to go. He understood she had to, but he was going to be left pretty much alone. There weren’t many children at the outpost, not of his age and he was very attached to Ana. She had to watch him cry as she waved goodbye. Now they write as often as they can and visit when they can. He’s following into star fleet academy too so she hopes to see him thrive soon.
Your character's best or favorite experience
When she saved her first patient. It was nothing spectacular, but a young boy had been brought from a nearby colony that had little to no medical facilities or training, and she was let to lead the proceedure to routinely correct a heart defect. The feeling when the family and the boy thanked her it reinforced that feeling that she was doing what she loved and what she should be doing.
Your character's most crucial experience
Responding to a plasma fire accident at a nearby workplace and helping run the trauma on the scene, learning to take a moment to centre herself, breathe, and dive in. Quick decisions. No hesitation. It was the first time she had very competent. While she wasn't in charge and of course still in training, she helped and didnt screw up that day. It was a turning point in her training.
Please write a brief sample post from your character’s perspective:
“Dont forget pants!!”
Came a yell from the other side of the partition.
“Im not going to forget my underwear Rupe!” she hissed, shaking her head. Her hair was damp and hanging loosely about her bare shoulders.
“Where is my..” she began looking up and seeing her favourite red blouse being dangled over the partition.
“What are you going to do without me hmm?” he asked. Rupert had been her saviour several times during the academy. He made his way round and plonked himself smack dab in the middle of her bed just then and grinned as she hurriedly tried to put her top on.
“Im going to be late! I’ve only got 3 hours with them today and then Im off on the next shuttle!” she almost wailed. He leant forwards, folding the top over her head and then grabbed her shoulders and kissed her roughly on her forehead.
“Its fine. You will see them before you know it. Its hard saying goodbye.” he soothed.
“I assume” he added this part afterwards with a overly dramatic sigh.
“Oh shut it, just because you think yourself a lone wolf. Unloved! Uncherished!” she faked a swoon mocking him, and ducked as he aimed a pillow blow towards her head.
With a huff of an exhale she slumped onto the bed and let her head fall back with a grumble, then looked sideways at him through her eyelashes.
“Im gonna miss you too you know” she said more seriously now. He just smiled at her, and touselled her still damp hair.
“Nah, you’ll never look back!”
