Description :

Slim, but not anorexic, athletic, but not muscular. Her features are plain and delicate, and she has a bright smile.

Personality & Traits:

Bettina approaches things from a simple, straight-forward view, and sometimes this helps her to see deception or obfuscation. She has a knack for healing although she doesn’t have the ability for the advanced education that would qualify her as a physician. She liked to laugh and she likes to play.

Likes:

Flying! Gardening, loves animals, likes the way that they offer simple, quiet loyalty and comfort. She likes music and the arts, and enjoys making things out of the materials at hand.

Dislikes:

She does not trust people who are cruel to animals or children, and especially abhors people who put others down because of their limitations, or will not allow others to meet their potential. She also hates okra and lima beans, hot weather, mornings.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

Bettina has a knack for mechanical things, and has enjoyed since she was a child taking things apart and putting them back together. Her empathy and calm bearing under stress make her valuable in medical emergencies. Because of her own simplicity, she connects well with children.

Prone to trust, and to believe that there is good in everyone, she often doesn see the bad until it is blatantly obvious. Bettina has trouble with reading comprehension...she does well with hands-on learning, but often needs to read something over several times and even then can become frustrated and give up. However, her drive to succeed in Starfleet keeps her trying. Ambitions

Bettina just wants to be in Starfleet, to be able to fly and be in the stars, where her heart has always seemed to pull her.

Hobbies & Interests:

While she can’t carry a note, she has some skill at playing the chanter, and some untrained ability with pastels. She also enjoys outdoor activities such as mountain climbing and horseback riding. She likes to make things grow, and would love to tend a garden, but her obsessive passion is flying and the stars...

Languages: English primarily

History:

The only daughter of a horticulturalist and his naturalist wife, Bettina grew up loved and happy, learning about the earth and nature. But her eyes were always on the heavens, and her heart was in the sky. It was evident early on, that while she was a bright child, she had trouble learning via traditional methods, a frustration for her. But it was evident that she would apply herself to things that interested her, and eventually learn what she had to. From an early age, her quiet nature gave her a way with animals, and local children brought her an assortment of injured and sick birds and animals to tend. Using an assortment of herbs and readily available cures, she did what she could. While she wasn’t always successful, by the time she was in her later schooling, she was being sought for advice for simple medical conditions and injuries. Bettina’s decision to attend Starfleet scandalized and distressed her parents. Bad enough she wanted to join in the structured Starfleet, but they didn’t think she could survive the rigors of the didactic courses, and didn’t want her to be disappointed. But she prevailed, driven by her desire to go to space, and is attending the Academy with lukewarm support of her parents.
