{{SectionRounded|History| Blue}}
*Sibling: Half Sister - {{n|Sabrina|Holly}}


Hsina was born 107-years-ago in Iraq to an Iraqi father and a Greek mother, the youngest of four children.  Hsina's farther was a police officer in Baghdad, and was killed in the line of duty when Hsina was only 6-years-old.  Her mother, a medical doctor, raised Hsina and her siblings until Hsina was 13, at which time she literally slipped and fell down a flight of stairs, to her death.  At that time, Hsina was the only minor child, her sister Nuri the next youngest was already 23-years-old, and a police officer like their father.  Her other sister, Samira, took her own life days after the death of their mother.
Parents:
*Mother - Karo Zox (Betazoid, Female) Deceased
*Father - Kieth Holly (Human, Male)




Hsina was taken in by brother Uday, who was something of a nut-job, but a very tough nut-job who made his living as a professional boxer and an amateur drunk.
{{SectionRounded|Background| Teal}}


When Keith Holly was in high school, he was sweethearts with  a Betazoid woman named  Karo Zox,  just after high school they married.  There marriage was short and didn’t even last past the honeymoon. When they split, Keith didn’t know she was pregnant.
Karo was graced with a daughter, whom she named Veena. Karo kept Veena a secret from Keith. Karo secretly kept tabs on Keith over the years, including his new family when he remarried.  Karo encouraged her daughter to follow her heart and it led her to Starfleet and upon Veena’s graduation from Starfleet Karo told Veena the truth about her father.
A week after Veena found out the truth, Karo tracked down Keith and told him about their daughter, there was a massive fight between the two of them and they parted on bad terms.


While Hsina's upbringing was disjointed and unconventional, she remained very close to her two surviving siblings as she grew up and while always a social misfit, was also always an exceptional student. She graduated from high school at age 16 and college at age 19, receiving a full scholarship to USC for her masters, and a full scholarship to Oxford for her doctorate, where she then served for 17 years as a professor and later department chair and assistant dean.  Like most archaeology professors, she was always very active on digs, and is one of the leading scholars on the poorly understood ancient race known as the Preservers. Her claim to fame was deciphering the mysterious Preserver written language by finding its "Rosetta Stone", the discovery made in all places in a previously undiscovered temple in ancient Iraq, barely 160 miles from her birthplace.
Veena's life was spent among the stars. She was born and raised on Luna Colony, but she was happy and spent a lot of time moving around with unquenchable wanderlust. When Veena was eighteen she headed for Earth. Veena obtained her bachelor’s degree in Nursing, two Doctoral Degrees, the first in Medicine and the Second in Psychoneuroimmunology. When she entered Starfleet she felt all that was left was for her to pass the officer conversion course. When Veena was eighteen she and her bond mate Doxen Kode also got married, and they supported each other through everything, including the birth of their only daughter, Kixen. They were both assigned their first Commission on the USS Venus where they were happy until Doxen's transfer to Luna Colony in 2392. Feeling that a Colony would be the best place for Kixen, Veena insisted he take her with him, and it nearly broke her heart. As such she put up a wall around her heart as she was transferred to the USS Tell.


{{SectionRounded|Education|Teal}}


Hsina's achievements in her field are due in no small part to her exceptional memory, which allowed her to recall clues from books read years before and piece them together for that "a-ha" moment in which she realized that an ancient sumerian poem was actually coordinates on an equally ancient Sumerian map. One of those mysteries who's answer had been staring scholars in the face for centuries.
*B.S. Nursing, M.D. , Ph.D. Psychoneuroimmunology
*Starfleet Officer Conversion Course




Contrary to what her resume might suggest, Hsina is no bookworm.  The combination of her tumultuous childhood, extreme height and being raised by a brother who was a professional boxer and an amateur drunk, Hsina couldn't help but come out slightly odd, 51-50, playing slightly short of a full deck, etc.  She is beyond fanatically fit, with her exercise routine more masochistic than merely fanatical.  At 6'1" she is extremely tall, a trait she got from her mother and shares with her brother, who is 6'5".  She is proportional for her height, with a definitely feminine build, but one subjected to masochistic workouts to produce a body that would make most Klingons jealous.  Also like her mother and brother, she is freakishly strong, easily out-muscling the vast majority of men.  Her height, massive build and stern countenance are often intimidating to people who do not know her well, and even to some who do (the whole she's crazy thing).

Hsina has no fear.  This is not a heroic, courageous kind of no fear, but more a mentally defective, "death is merely the end" and of the "she likes pain" kind of no fear. The kind of no fear that put her in the hospital when she was mugged at knife point in London and attacked the mugger with her fists, breaking the muggers arm, jaw and four ribs, but getting stabbed three times in the process.

In addition to her unhealthy lack of fear, Hsina also has a very unhealthy prejudice against certain professions and generally dislikes regulations that she sees as silly or unnecessary.  Its not that they are silly or unnecessary, just that she sees them that way, and quickly decides that they don't particularly matter to her.  Thus far she has been reasonably lucky and nothing has gotten her into too much trouble, as very few men complained when she would use the men's restroom 50% of the time, just using whichever is closer rather than caring for what she considered stupid segregation. Her disdain for rules extends to a disdain for bureaucracy and bureaucratic professions, which she considers one step above a prison sentence and wonders what kind of spineless insectoid weasel would ever consider a career as a file clerk, secretary or what-not.  She's smart enough not to outright insult such people when they are in a position to cause trouble, but its always quite a struggle.

Hsina frequently takes unnecessary risks and participates in extreme sports to center herself. When such activities are not available she tends to drink heavily, and never that synth nonsense.
:''To end your bio, we're going to drop in some code here for your ship's crew template, which should appear at the bottom of your bio and will help members of the fleet easily browse other bios of your shipmates. Change the name of the ship below to whatever the name of your character's ship is, unless of course you've been assigned to the USS Gemini! Don't forget the letter suffix for your ship if yours has one (such as the USS Darwin-A).'' -->


{{Crewnav|USS Athena}}


Finally, while Hsina is unbalanced and not quite right, she is very good at hiding it.  She actually suffers from a genetic disorder that makes her completely psi-null.  She has absolutely zero psionic potential where most humans have some, and while that means she can never learn some of the mental disciplines like walking on hot coals and the like, it also prevents empaths and telepaths from getting any reading at all, though a Vulcan mind-meld, which is a direct physical connection, will get a reading, but only if done intrusively as she is incapable of consenting as that involves opening up a part of the brain that simply doesn't work.  There have been two instances, however, when somehow (Hsina doesn't yet understand it) two telepathic/empathic individuals were able to get something of a fuzzy-peripheral read on Hsina, while at the same time Hsina heard their thoughts as well.  Defective hardware is Hsina's best guess.

Since completing her doctoral studies, Hsina  has spent most of her life in academia.  Much like the fictional 20th movie character Indiana Jones, Hsina spent the years following her studies teaching classes on archaeology, history and anthropology while also participating in and often leading archaeological digs both on Earth and in deep space. 
 
 
It was on one such dig, a classified mission by the Starfleet vessel USS Curiosity to recover a Preserver artifact of incredible age found drifting intact near Romulan space, that Hsina was lost and presumed dead.  USS Curiosity recovered the artifact, but before they could return it to Starfleet for study, the ship was attacked and lost with all hands. 
 
 
What really happened was that a Romulan team infiltrated and boarded Curiosity, and made a play to capture the ship and the precious Preserver artifact.  By the time the fighting was over, only five of Curiosity's crew and Dr. Hsina Amman, who was on board as a civilian mission specialist remained alive, and the Curiosity herself was dead in space, venting atmosphere.  The Romulan survivors escaped with the Preserver artifact.
 
 
THAT WAS SIXTY-YEARS-AGO.  The six survivors went into stasis, certain that someone would find the drifting, derelict starship.  They did, 60-years-later, but only one of the six stasis chambers remained active, that of Dr. Hsina Amman.  Hsina woke up at Starbase 118 OPS, then spent a few weeks at Star Fleet Academy for a direct commission course (she did not attend a regular academy) and finally posting as an ensign on the USS Discovery-C.
 
 
Hsina's older brother died twelve-years-ago while she was in stasis on the Curiosity.  Her older sister lived until the age of 115, and did get to meet with Hsina once when USS Discovery took shore leave.  Hsina's only surviving relatives are an 80-year-old nephew and his three children, whom she has only met twice.
 
 
Hsina has never been married, but has had two committed romantic relationships.  The first with Dr. Alexander Martin, another professor at Oxford.  Hsina and Alex parted romantically after being together for 12 years, and remained close friends.  When Hsina dissappeared, Dr. Martin eventually married one of his female students (Hsina was also once one of his students), had a family and died 25-years-ago at the age of 108.  Hsina's other long-term relationship was with one of her under-graduate and later graduate students, who died in her arms on USS Curiosity.
 
 
Since waking up, Hsina has been promoted quickly through the ranks on USS Discovery despite her rather abrasive personality, eventually serving as the chief science officer and more recently the chief of security.  In her months on board she has almost caught up with the last 60 years of technology, at least when it comes to operating modern computer systems, and has earned a reputation as an unfeeling b!tch, but one who gets results and will go to extremes to protect her shipmates.
 
 
Most recently, Hsina and her shipmates spent some time on the planet Kjenta II, a high-gravity planet with similar physiological effects to Ba'ku inside the Briar Patch.  While the effects varied by individual, the older one was physically, the more their physical age reverted while on Kjenta II.  The effect is such that the longer one spends on the planet and more one exerts oneself while there, the more pronounced the effect, which in its end state would have a person age backwards (or forwards normally if very young) until they reached their physiological prime.  To make Hsina's age more complex, she essentially got ten-years-younger in her time on Kjenta II, and while she was born 104-years-ago and has lived for 44 years, she is physiologically 34-years-old.
