Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Seras has a vivid and outspoken personality with a love for life. She's straightforward about her opinions, often bordering on blunt, and she loves her work. She can be something of a work-aholic, but she just can't stand being idle. Dedicated and loyal, there just about nothing she wouldn't do for a friend. As a Cairn, she has trouble remembering her boundaries when it comes to privacy. Since her people evolved without the ability to speak, she makes use of a vocal synthesizer implant to communicate. As spoken languages are not natural for her, she can and often does make mistakes when speaking. |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | Work and Archery. Music is appealing to her, but she can't sing, although she is fascinated by a cappella. She finds reading utterly boring. Before her interest in the Federation was sparked, she was studying alongside her twin sister to become a weaver, a family tradition. |
Personal History
| Personal History | In her youth, Seras was part of a foreign exchange program to help the Cairn adjust to verbal communication as well as Terran culture. She was hosted by a family in Montana where she learned about school and verbal socializing. She improved her vocabulary and interactive skills dramatically through the program and developed a deep love of her host family. While in Montana, her 'family' sparked her interest in bow hunting and eventually an interest in Starfleet. They took her to San Francisco to see Starfleet Academy and it was then she decided that this was something she wanted to do. After returning to the Cairn home world, she shared her experiences and helped to improve her culture's ability to communicate with outsiders. When she was old enough to join Starfleet, she left her home world and never looked back. To date, she's the only Cairn to join Starfleet and been able to adapt and graduate to become an officer. |
Prof. History
| Service Chronology | Since graduating from the Academy, Seras has spent most of her years of service on the USS Avalon, a Nebula-class starship. At first her career was unremarkable; she was a solid worker but was having trouble fitting in socially. Once she found her feet, she became outgoing and even assertive. She started out in the Cargo Bays, keeping stock of ship supplies and maintaining the Cargo Bay transporters. She proved to be a skilled technician and was later assigned to man the primary transporters on a regular basis. By 2386, her department head came to the realization that her skills were being severely under-utilized; the Operations Assistant Chief left the Avalon for better opportunities, and Seras ended picking up the slack in work from his departure. Though young, she had a meticulous attention to detail and was rising to the challenge of this void in the department. The Operations Chief took a chance on her and recommended Seras for a promotion, and since then she continued to serve as the Avalon's Assistant Chief of Operation until 2388 when she was transferred to the USS Arizona. | |

Medical History
| Medical Profile | Seras, like a number of her kind, were briefly studied at Starfleet Medical in an attempt to understand the differences between Cairn and other telepathic species. After that, her medical history was littered with regular visits to get updated vocal technology. Upon joining Starfleet, she was again subjected to an in depth physical to document any unique characteristics for her Medical file. In recent years, she has been pressured to exchange her vocal synthesizer, an external device she wears on her neck and is concealed by her uniform collar, with a bio-mechanical implant. She has refused this new device on the grounds that it would not be able to recreate her current vocal signature to her liking. |
|
| Psychological Profile | It's not uncommon for Seras to be unable to read social situations to be able fit in, which means it can take a while for her to become sociable when placed in new environments. But once the ice is broken, she is friendly and cheerful and loves to take part in social interactions. She sometimes feels like an outsider because of her inability to comprehend figurative speech, not to mention the mistakes she still makes when speaking, but she never lets it get her down; she always keeps trying with an optimistic attitude. |
