Character Information

Gender Female
Species Orion
Age 45

Physical Appearance

Height 1.75 meters

Eye Color green
Physical Description This green skinned Orion woman carries herself with an air of quiet detachment. She has slightly narrow green eyes which gaze out at the world in a manner some might consider cold and void. Between them rests a long, narrow nose, a few centimeters above a pair of dark red lips. Framing her sharply angled face is honey gold hair which is short at the front and grows longer the further back one looks, until it is brushing the base of the back of her neck.
She has slightly narrow, slanted shoulders which support a pair of long, moderately muscled arms and hands with long fingers. Her fingernails are neatly kept and colorless.
Natira has a decent sized bust which falls closer to being above average than below. Looking down, her frame grows narrower before it flares out at the hips, which support long, toned legs and dainty feet.

Family

Father Rello Dareese
Mother Mekara Dareese

Personality & Traits

General Overview Direct, calculating and confident. Natira believes there's a place for everything, everyone, and that everything in the universe has a function. While decent with people, she prefers the simplicity of machines, conduits and experiments she can measure. She often treats rules more like guidelines and believes that "good enough" is rarely good enough. She also does not like standing idle when there are boundaries that she could be pushing or when her ship is functioning at anything less than its established peak performance, regardless of the reason.
Strengths & Weaknesses Strengths:
Exceptional mental mapping/high count variable tracking
Resilient
Quick thinking
Weaknesses:
Easily socially burned out
Can fixate on projects to her detriment
Can appear cold on the surface
Ambitions On a personal level, Natira wants nothing more than to grow the most beautiful garden in the quadrant. Professionally, now that she is in command of her own ship, and a prototype at that, she seeks to push the boundaries of its capabilities as far as is possible. She does not seek an admiralty, even though she is a big picture thinker, instead being content with progressing this far up the chain of command.
Hobbies & Interests Though Natira has a variety of interests, some of her more prominent ones include botany, alien music, alien cuisine and Starfleet history. Sometimes she can be found tinkering with a device or a piece of machinery. Other times she can be found getting her hands dirty with her own ship, either conducting repairs, maintenance, or just trying to squeeze a 0.1% increase in throughput out of a plasma relay.

Personal History Natira was born in space aboard a family run Orion free trade vessel, the New Dawn. Far from the common perception of Orion's, her family had no interest in piracy, manipulation of others or the slave trade. She was the only child aboard the small vessel, which meant she didn't often have the opportunity to socialize with those her own age. When she did, she did not have the opportunity to make lasting friendships. This lead to her being standoffish and isolating herself, either in her mother's shipboard hydroponic garden or in her quarters playing one musical instrument or another.
When she was fifteen, the New Dawn was attacked by privateers, and though everyone managed to get off the ship, the New Dawn was destroyed. Finding herself and her family scattered across the surface of a barely hospitable L class planetoid, she struggled to stay alive for weeks before a Starfleet vessel, the USS Hornet, located her and her family.
Aboard the Hornet, Natira was befriended by the ship's chief medical officer, Doctor Elizabeth Baxter, who told her all about Starfleet. Intrigued, Natira researched as much Starfleet history as she could before her and her family were dropped off at a Starbase. A few months later, wanting to learn how to survive and better protect herself, she signed up for Starfleet Academy, to the concerned support of her family.
