{{LCARS-bar-heading|Personality|COLOR=teal}}
Anyone meeting Gila would be hard pressed to identify anything about her save an intense lack of confidence and sense of worth. She’ll rarely be the person to initiate conversations with strangers, or indeed even acquaintances, but once she is in social circumstances, she seems almost obsessively focused on ensuring a productive and enjoyable conversation for everyone involved. The clear impression left behind by Gila is not one of someone who does not enjoy social niceties, but rather one who is dreadfully unprepared and unpracticed in how to participate in them comfortably.


Gila is very much a follower - as is the norm for her people - and does not as a rule fare well in command situations. Her Academy years were plagued by an untold number of reprimands from her superior officers for following orders blindly, sometimes to the detriment of her crew and patients. This is a weakness that Gila is acutely aware of, and yet she struggles with finding ways to overcome it. She has found it easier to hold her ground when it comes to her patients’ safety and wellbeing, but will readily ‘jump off a bridge’ if commanded, as the saying goes.

Gila is the textbook definition of a workaholic, often preferring to be neck-deep in research or a patient’s medical journal than attending to herself. She is at her core a deeply hypocritical person, often employing the philosophy of ‘do as I say, not as I do’, when it comes to the medical concerns of mental health and work-life balance. She is a good doctor, attentive and obsessive about every case, no matter how small, but she can be a bit of a busybody and some patients consider her almost too attentive as she stubbornly seeks out every possible health concern, even ones they haven’t sought help for.


Beyond the above, Gila is an intensely curious and inquisitive person, though for whatever reason, she seems to attempt to keep those particular characteristics of hers dulled. She enjoys learning new things, seeing new places and interacting with objects and people she’s never seen before, but one would never find her actively seeking the information from other people. When push comes to shove, she’s a very ‘hands-on’ learner, preferring experimentation to more passive avenues of learning.

INFJ-T / The Advocate
Anyone meeting Gila would be hard pressed to identify anything about her save an intense lack of confidence and sense of worth. She’ll rarely be the person to initiate conversations with strangers, or indeed even acquaintances, but once she is in social circumstances, she seems almost obsessively focused on ensuring a productive and enjoyable conversation for everyone involved. The clear impression left behind by Gila is not one of someone who does not enjoy social niceties, but rather one who is dreadfully unprepared and unpracticed in how to participate in them comfortably.


+ Creative, Insightful, Principled, Passionate and Altrustic
Gila is very much a follower - as is the norm for her people - and does not as a rule fare well in command situations. Her Academy years were plagued by an untold number of reprimands from her superior officers for following orders blindly, sometimes to the detriment of her crew and patients. This is a weakness that Gila is acutely aware of, and yet she struggles with finding ways to overcome it. She has found it easier to hold her ground when it comes to her patients’ safety and wellbeing, but will readily ‘jump off a bridge’ if commanded, as the saying goes.


- Sensitive to Criticism, Reluctant to Open Up, Perfectionistic, Avoiding the Ordinary and Prone to Burnout
Gila is the textbook definition of a workaholic, often preferring to be neck-deep in research or a patient’s medical journal than attending to herself. She is at her core a deeply hypocritical person, often employing the philosophy of ‘do as I say, not as I do’, when it comes to the medical concerns of mental health and work-life balance. She is a good doctor, attentive and thorough, though she is perhaps the epitome of a Doctor better suited for research than patient consultations.


Beyond the above, Gila is an intensely curious and inquisitive person. She enjoys learning new things, seeing new places and interacting with objects and people she’s never seen before. When push comes to shove, she’s a very theoretical person, eager to test and expand on known knowledge.

'''Likes'''
===Ambitions and Goals===
* Academic work - Reading and peer-reviewing other doctors’ medical journal can seem dry work, but to Gila, it harkens back to a simpler time.
* Visit Denali Station or Vulcan
* Exploration - Anything new and unexplored is extremely interesting to Gila.
* Obtain a physical copy of Surak's Teachings or the Rules of Acquisition
* Alien art - Mizarian art is very dry and unimaginative, void of color. Since leaving Mizar II, Gila has developed a fondness for more expressive schools of artwork.
* Secure Kolya's future as an artist
* Meditation - Spiritualism and faith is something Gila grew up with, and while she doesn’t consider herself religious, she still finds great calm in the act of meditation.
* Return to Mizar IV to make amends
'''Dislikes'''
* Conflict - Gila will actively avoid conflict at almost any cost, often attempting to either extract herself from a situation before it gets heated, or playing peacekeeper, if she sees no other alternative.
* Being forgotten - Due to certain events in her past, Gila suffers from intense athazagoraphobia - the fear of being forgotten or ignored.


* Alcohol - Gila has only gotten drunk once in her life, and it is a sensation she never wants to experience again. As such, she rarely partakes in alcoholic drinks.

Line 116: Line 169:


Gila has been practicing the Mizarian tradition of Ur’tal - a form of journaling where, before sleeping every night, you write down all that has happened through the day, your emotions and concerns, and then burn the material on which you’ve written. She has a complicated relationship with the tradition, as she has previously attempted to stop it, but found herself becoming increasingly more anxious for each day she didn’t perform it.

* Academic work - Reading and peer-reviewing other doctors’ medical journal can seem dry work, but to Gila, it harkens back to a simpler time where she did similar work in the comforts of her home on Mizar II.
* Exploration - Anything new and unexplored is extremely interesting to Gila, and when she's wrapped up in research, solving a mystery or discovering a new area, she comes fully out of her shell to lay bare the curious and inquisitive young woman she could be.
* Alien art - Mizarian art is very dry and unimaginative, void of color. Since leaving Mizar II, Gila has developed a fondness for more expressive schools of artwork, partially spurred on by her desire to help her artistic nephew break the mold of Mizarian artistry.

Madison and Gila took most of the same classes at the Academy while taking their Xenobiology Major, but they didn't really start talking until they both entered Starfleet Medical Academy, and were put on the fast track. Since they both were the 'odd ones out' due to taking both 1st and 2nd year classes simultaneously, they started talking, and the two now have a close relationship. They will often communicate on subspace - with Madison stationed on Starbase 118, and Gila wherever the ''Artemis'' is taking her - both just to talk and to provide feedback and constructive criticisms on each other's latest research.

Madison and Gila took most of the same classes at the Academy while taking their Xenobiology Major, but they didn't really start talking until they both entered Starfleet Medical Academy, and were put on the fast track. Since they both were the 'odd ones out' due to taking both 1st and 2nd year classes simultaneously, they started talking, and the two now have a close relationship. They will often communicate on subspace - with Madison stationed on Starbase 118, and Gila wherever the Artemis-A is taking her - both just to talk and to provide feedback and constructive criticisms on each other's latest research.
Gila first met Vailani Zoyara when the latter was unconscious in the Artemis' Sickbay, but the first time they spoke was when Gila was being accosted by a particularly hypochrondriac Bolian hybrid in the Brew Continuum on her 'break'. In the aftermath of that encounter, Vailani and Gila became fast accomplices to each other's workaholic tendencies, and enjoyed a good while of companionable working silence. In spite  of their radically different tempers, they became fast friends, and while distance has restricted their opportunities to truly lean on each other in times of distress, they still remain in subspace contact with handwritten letters, and even took trips during shore leave together. They recently reunited when LT Vailani was transwarped along with the crew of Amity Outpost to a Borg Cube, that Gila was aboard. Not the ''ideal'' reunion, but one that brought a great sense of relief with it...

The Captain of the Artemis-A was one of two Starfleet Officers who oversaw Gila and Madison's final test before graduation. Though Gila had little opportunity to converse with her future Captain, she felt both excitement and deep fear at the idea of being assigned to her vessel. While their working relationship started out tested by Gila's fear of what real Starship combat sometimes required of officers, the two were eventually able to have a proper talk about what being a Doctor serving in Starfleet sometimes means. The oath 'Do No Harm' sounds easy, but as Captain Mackenzie says, the job sometimes tests you in ways you'd never imagine. Gila knows that the Captain's words are true, but remains hopeful that she won't understand to what extent for a long while yet...

The Captain of the Artemis-A was one of two Starfleet Officers who oversaw Gila and Madison's final test before graduation. Though Gila had little opportunity to converse with her future Captain, she felt both excitement and deep fear at the idea of being assigned to her vessel. The two of them spent most of Gila's first mission in close proximity, and while the Captain seemed competent and reasonable, her willingness to risk the lives of Suliban pirates astonished the new Doctor. A small altercation occurred, after which an ashamed Gila has been seeking every possible excuse to not meet her unnecessarily...

|'''{{nwhite|Yogan Yalu|Yogan Yalu}}''' - ''First Officer''
Gila's first meeting with the Betazoid then-Second Officer was on the surgery table after he endured severe trauma during the Suliban boarding, but in the time that Gila's served on the ''Artemis'', she's had plenty of opportunities to form a more well-rounded opinion on the Lieutenant Commander. He's been a source of comfort in her most troubled times, most recently talking Gila out of a shameful resignation, and while Gila remains undecided on whether the crew is truly better off with her a part of it, she's dedicated to serve to the utmost of her abilities while she's here. She remains deeply concerned about the Lieutenant Commander's general health, as their encounters always give her the general impression of man who carries the world on his shoulders, but how does one ease that burden from someone all too stubborn to accept help?
[[File:Yoganyalu5.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]


While in each other's company for the majority of the Drill-Gone-Wrong, Gila and the Trill First Officer spent very little of it talking with each other. She got the sense that he's a very capable helmsman, and also that his personality is far warmer and approachable than their Captain's. Which would make him a decent First Officer, she supposes...

{|style="background:black; color:white; "
Through no true merit of her own, Ensign Lyara ended up taking center stage in a rather tumultuous time of Gila's life. When Gila returned from her trip home to the Mizar System with her nephew in tow, it was the Bajoran Ensign who piloted the shuttle that was slated to take the three of them back to the USS ''Artemis'', Ensign Lyara and Kolya's new home. Due to their close proximity to each other for that journey, and Lyara being the first Artemisian Kolya encountered, Gila feels that - perhaps - their paths are intertwined. For better or for worse, remains to be seen.


|'''{{nwhite|Talos Dakora|Talos Dakora}}''' - ''Second Officer''
[[File:Lt_Dakora_Artemis_Portrait.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]


Gila's first meeting with the Betazoid Second Officer was on the surgery table after he endured severe trauma during the Suliban boarding. As first impressions go, it went about as well as could be expected, with the Commander clearly deeply affected by the experience. Gila found him a pliant patient, a pleasant man and a gracious senior officer, even if his adversion to counseling has her deeply concerned for his mental well-being.

Savel's Vulcan mannerisms have made him something of a safe harbor for Gila as he reminds her of one of her dearest Academy friends. When she required assistance with phaser training - per her counselor's instructions - Lieutenant Savel was the one to come to her aid, and thanks to his logical instructions and intuitive understanding of her behaviour, the training was a success. Gila is certain that the Lieutenant's wisdom will be a great source of comfort to her in the future, and she looks forward to continuing her service with him.

|'''{{nwhite|Vitor Silveira|Vitor Silveira}}''' - ''The Tempest''
Lieutenant Silveira and Gila's relationship is characterized by an uneasy dance between friendship and professionalism. The colloquial ease with which the Lieutenant consistently discards all social decorum, coupled with his far too observant interest in Gila's past, causes the secretive Mizarian to remain on her guard around him at all times, and yet, it also remains true that few aboard the ''Artemis'' has been as consistent in making Gila feel welcome and part of the crew. Last shoreleave, Lieutenant Silveira had invited Gila and Lieutenant Jovenan to cooking night in the Holodeck, and while anxiety was a constant companion as ever, Gila found that, perhaps, one day, she could consider the mischievous Tactical Chief a friend. (But that's an opinion that she'll keep to herself for a while yet. Wouldn't do to encourage him.)
[[File:Sil-Picard_Uniform.png|100px|thumb|left|]]


The third in a row of senior officers needing medical aid, Sil-''net'' made his mark as the most social of the lot. His inquisitive nature and seemingly tireless zest for life both inspires and terrifies Gila, particularly since her own past and secrets have been the object of his scrutiny. She has, however, come to accept his company, and perhaps even enjoy it, when his tempestuous behavior isn’t aimed at her directly.

'''''Silveira''': Well you can check my records and never really know anything about me. What I mean is that even as complete as records can be there is nothing like first hand knowledge, and I am a strong proponent of sharing knowledge. I mean we had lessons at the Academy, we weren’t just given PADDs to read. Do you think I am wrong?''</center>

|'''{{nwhite|Jovenan|Jovenan}}''' - ''Esteemed superior''
While in different departments, calling Lt. Commander Jovenan Gila's aspired goal would not be remiss. In the time since joining the ''Artemis'' Gila has been able to rely on the professionalism and good sense of the Edo Lieutenant time and again, and while confidence is a rare feeling to Gila, she finds that she's able to better emulate it when considering the bravery with which Lt. Commander Jovenan faces her own fears and insecurities and the kindness that she has showed her. While most of Gila and Jovenan's acquaintance has been overlapping endeavours during the ''Artemis''' many missions, their shared acquaintance - Lieutenant Silveira - has started enabling the two to form an attachment outside of their duties as well, and most recently, the three of them shared a homecooked meal in the Holodeck 2. Hoping to be friends with a superior is very much at odds with how Mizarian Unit Theory works, but in spite of that, Gila finds herself actively seeking out Lt. Commander Jovenan in moments where she feels most insecure, knowing that her leadership will see them through all tasks ahead of them.
[[File:Jovenan_2400.jpg|100px|thumb|left|]]


On her very first mission aboard the ''Artemis-A'', Gila spent most of her time in the company of the Edo Lieutenant. While their acquaintance doesn't go beyond professional, Jovenan demonstrated integrity, adaptability and talent during the mission that made Gila keenly aware of the versatility that Starfleet demands of its officers... And how lacking she herself is in that department.

{| style="background:#00008b; color:white; "
Gila first encountered the Galadoran Lieutenant JG during a temporal displacement to Romulus prior to the supernova, where the mission profile was to assassinate a Romulan Senator. Beyond her discomfort with the mission profile, Lieutenant Gnai was also Gila's first proper encounter with someone new after her promotion, which triggered a lot of anxious fidgeting for the newly promoted LtJG. This apprehension came to a head when the two of them were the only representatives of the USS ''Artemis''-A sent to reinforce the {{USS|Kitty Hawk}} during Frontier Day. Facing the crisis of the century amidst strangers forged a dependant bond between Gila and her junior officer, and while she's still not entirely sure she's behaved in a manner befit her station, she feels significantly more at ease when interacting with the Galadoran Ensign now... Probably a side-effect of carrying it in a backpack for two hours.

[[File:Luxa_Lorana_Ensign.png|100px|thumb|left|]]


Gila first met Ensign Lorana in Sickbay, when Lorana checked on her roommate who'd gotten hurt on the prior mission. During their first meeting, Lorana diagnosed Gila as a severe case of workaholic and applied herself to find some way to ensure that Gila actually rested during the upcoming shore leave. Gila found the Caitian an agreeable person, if yet another example of how utterly social her new crew was.

{| style="background:teal; color:white; "
Commander Genkos Adea is a consummate professional in many circumstances and an intolerable tease in most others. The Commander's primary goal in their working relationship is - as far as Gila can tell - to push her as far out of her comfort zone as possible, and while this is an attitude she recognized from others as well (notably Captain MacKenzie herself), the Commander may have pushed her one step too far. On a recent mission, Gila, Cdr. Adea, LT Jovenan and Ens Gnai were all transplaced to Ki Baratan, with a singular goal. To fake the Dominion's assassination on a Romulan Senator. It is perhaps unfair to aim the blame for that mission and the toll it took on her mental state on the Commander - it was a no-win scenario, after all - and yet Gila can't quite help it.

A Doctor willing to throw themselves into phaser fire is a deeply concerting idea to Gila, which this Human officer embodies fully. Doctor Jones showed great enthusiasm and kindness to Gila during their consultation - as well as a firm belief that the two would be fast friends - that Gila initally shared. That is, until she learned that he'd just recently been reassigned to Ship Counsellor...

{| style="background:#ed820e; color:white; "
Attending the Academy on Starbase 118 from her third year onwards, Gila had to get accustomed to a lot of new things - chiefest of which was life aboard a politically charged Starbase at a nexus point in Space. She followed the careers of the resident senior staff with keen interest - they were, after all, already considered some of the best in Starfleet - and Lieutenant Commander Fairhug was one of these staff members. While her opinion of the majority of Ops' senior staff is based on nothing but respect and admiration, Lieutenant Commander Fairhug turned out to be her CO on her final test before graduation, and Gila spent the better part of the mission under his direct supervision. They say you should never meet your heroes, but the Commander's competent leadership, kind guidance and magnanimous grace only further served to cement him as a figure worthy of respect in Gila's eyes. She realizes he probably won't remember her if they ever meet again, but she nevertheless hopes to conduct her Starfleet career in a way that won't betray the potential he saw in her during her final test.

Lieutenant Commander Fairhug was Gila's CO on her final test before graduation. Gila spent the better part of the mission under the direct supervision of the Bardeezan officer, and while the two of them butted heads over his order to leave behind a fellow cadet, his subsequent attention to her emotional state assured her that he is a good person.

They haven't had time to touch base since the Luxa’s transfer to the USS Ronin, but Gila keeps her in her thoughts, and hopes they get to meet gain one day.

Gila has very few things in life that she feels genuine pride over, but her ability to save LtJG Flint from a life identified by his Borg implants rather than his own character - as well as her success in breaking the Borg Queen's hold over him during the Frontier Day Crisis - had made the Human Lieutenant one such highlight in her life. To say that the two share a personal connection would be a gross exaggeration, as Gila has perhaps exchanged two-three sentences with the man since meeting him, but once a patient of Doctor Sadar, always a patient of Doctor Sadar. And for once, it's a patient who might actually count themselves happy to have been in her care...

Doctor Ikaia Wong and Gila met under less than ideal circumstances, with Gila temporarily assigned to the USS ''Kitty Hawk'' during Frontier Day. Due to Gila's second-hand knowledge of Anti-Borg pharmacological research, she ended up accompanying the Klingon Doctor on that dark day and together, they managed to synthesize 'Borghistamines', a medical formula that would prevent the remote assimilation signal from controlling their fellow officers. Soon after the crisis had been dealt with, Doctor Wong picked Gila as his surgical assistant for a groundbreaking surgery on an injured Changeling, further building upon their professional relationship. Gila find Doctor Wong a familiar spirit - he reminds her a lot of her colleagues aboard the ''Artemis'' - and as a Doctor, she trusts his judgment utterly.

It would be bad form to claim that Gila doesn't like LT Iko - as truly, they don't know each other nearly well enough to make such blanket statements - but she is one stranger that Gila will actively avoid at any given moment.

===Pre-Academy===
|-|Hallia Yellir=
    Gila is the younger daughter of Koja & Cefli Sadar. Koja is a Spiritualist and Educator, travelling all of Mizar II to teach the Ways of the Kahlto - 'the Wheel of Existence' - to Mizarian youths and the family's life was completely defined by it. His two daughters were raised with utmost adherence to the pacifist and normconforming ways of the Kahlto, ensuring that they grew up to be good and law-abiding citizens. Gila was unremarkable for most of her youth - intelligent, but not more so than most - and she preferred to keep to herself. Her sister, on the other hand, thrived under their father’s teachings – eventually securing herself a place as a Councillor’s Aide – but Gila’s inquisitive nature often angered her father, and the subsequent discipline enforced on her aimed to quell her curious spirit. It met with apparent success.

    Gila eventually graduated with rather good marks from the History Programme at the Fourth University of Pozaron and worked as a textbook writer for many years. She enjoyed her work immensely, considering it a job that helped enlighten and nurture future generations of the Mizarian people. But then, a survey dig in the northern hemisphere of Mizar II exposed her and her colleagues to something that could potentially shake the Mizarian cultural identity to its core. Pressure immediately came down on the history department to exclude the find from future textbooks, and to not speak of it to the outside world. This caused Gila to have a crisis of faith and she soon quit her job. A historian is only as useful as their integrity, and Gila had none.
Gila first encountered the ''Artemis''' Chief Engineer during a mandatory drill organized for her and other fellow Ensigns, but it wasn't until the Lieutenant's physical check-up the following shore leave that the two had proper time to talk. During this check-up, LT Yellir accidentally misranked the newly promoted Gila, inadvertently committing one of the greatest social faux pas in Mizarian culture, and resulting in a ''very'' tense consultation. This consultation, however, proved a vital turning point for Gila, who'd just weeks prior considered resigning her commission after a particularly trying mission. After all, if she felt so strongly about a new rank - that she wasn't even sure she had earned - was she really ready to give it up? Gila isn't sure she'll ever muster up the courage to admit to the Lieutenant what her harebrained mistake meant to her, but safe to say, Hallia Yellir's made a big impact on Gila's approach to her job in Starfleet.  


    Choosing to go on a spiritual journey of sorts off-world, Gila got a ticket on a transport vessel heading for Mizar IV and the Starfleet colony located there. On the way, a medical emergency happened on board and as her ID identified her as 'Dr. Sadar', Gila was all but pushed to handle the situation. Needless to say, she failed and the individual she’d been charged with perished. While this was a personal loss and a source of great guilt for Gila in the years to come, it was also a defining moment that ushered her on the route to apply to Starfleet Academy. She wanted to do something with her life that led to real and definitive good in the universe.


===The Academy Years===

    Gila’s four years through Starfleet Academy were quiet by comparison – she wasn’t particularly social and merely focused on her work, but compared to many of her peers, her previous university experience helped buffer her through the worst crunches and pitfalls of higher learning. The initial two years were spent on the San Francisco Campus on Earth, and while this was the longest Gila had lived on an Alien planet thus far, she spent the most of her time doing coursework rather than enjoying the novelty of the world around her. She simply worked through the motions of her Degree, choosing to double-major in Xenobiology and Xenology. The latter major led her to move away from Earth again, switching Campuses to the Academy Campus on [[Starbase 118]], where a lauded Xenologist was doing a research project simultaneously with teaching Academy courses. Graduating from the Starbase 118 Academy, she then applied for the on-station Medical School Branch as well. The social aspect of her new calling - patient communication, review boards and ethical guidelines - was all very challenging to her, but she demonstrated great skill and proved a more than adequate physician. Her tenure at Starfleet Medical was shortened to a three-year track due to her already having completed most of the material while doing her Xenobiology Major, and as such, the already socially inept Mizarian had an even harder time bonding with any of her fellow doctors-in-training, as she took both 1st and 2nd year classes concurrently.

Her worst grades were in the courses of ‘Medical Ethics’ and ‘Diagnosis’, as she had the tendency to readily accept others’ diagnoses and orders, and act on them, even if she knew they were wrong. This is something she has worked to correct, but she still shies away from open conflict with fellow doctors and officers. Upon graduation, Gila was assigned to the USS ''Artemis-A'' and sent off to Starbase 224 to embark on the next leg of her journey forward.

Crew of the USS Artemis-A

Gila-Sadar-2.png

Lieutenant Gila Sadar

Lieutenant Gila Sadar is a socially inept Mizarian, who prefers to keep her head down and do her work without ever being noticed. She is currently serving on her very first assignment, the USS Artemis-A, as a Medical Officer.

An accomplished, but disgraced historian from Mizar II, she hopes to find a new lease on life with a career in Starfleet.

Description

  • Portrayal: Shweta Tripathi
  • Height: 1.82 m (6'00")
  • Hair: None
  • Eyes: Dark brown
  • Build: Average build, long and awkward limbs.
  • Posture: Hunched and nervous, intentionally attempting to seem smaller, unless she’s working.
  • Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Gila is never caught anywhere out of her Yael-robes - the customary robes donned by all Mizarians - though they are often in slightly more colorful hues than other Mizarians don. She has a substantial ring collection. Most notably, she always wears a black obsidian ring, that she twists whenever she feels uncomfortable.
  • Voice: Slightly deeper than most, quiet and hesitant. Will talk to herself in an almost mechanical droning while working.
  • Handedness: Right-handed.



Personality

INFJ-T / The Advocate
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Creative
  • Insightful
  • Principled
  • Passionate
  • Altruistic
  • Sensitive to Criticism
  • Reluctant to Open Up
  • Perfectionistic
  • Avoiding the Ordinary
  • Prone to Burnout

Anyone meeting Gila would be hard pressed to identify anything about her save an intense lack of confidence and sense of worth. She’ll rarely be the person to initiate conversations with strangers, or indeed even acquaintances, but once she is in social circumstances, she seems almost obsessively focused on ensuring a productive and enjoyable conversation for everyone involved. The clear impression left behind by Gila is not one of someone who does not enjoy social niceties, but rather one who is dreadfully unprepared and unpracticed in how to participate in them comfortably.

Gila is very much a follower - as is the norm for her people - and does not as a rule fare well in command situations. Her Academy years were plagued by an untold number of reprimands from her superior officers for following orders blindly, sometimes to the detriment of her crew and patients. This is a weakness that Gila is acutely aware of, and yet she struggles with finding ways to overcome it. She has found it easier to hold her ground when it comes to her patients’ safety and wellbeing, but will readily ‘jump off a bridge’ if commanded, as the saying goes.

Gila is the textbook definition of a workaholic, often preferring to be neck-deep in research or a patient’s medical journal than attending to herself. She is at her core a deeply hypocritical person, often employing the philosophy of ‘do as I say, not as I do’, when it comes to the medical concerns of mental health and work-life balance. She is a good doctor, attentive and thorough, though she is perhaps the epitome of a Doctor better suited for research than patient consultations.

Beyond the above, Gila is an intensely curious and inquisitive person. She enjoys learning new things, seeing new places and interacting with objects and people she’s never seen before. When push comes to shove, she’s a very theoretical person, eager to test and expand on known knowledge.

Descent of Decency - NOT as good as Gila says it is.

Favorites

  • Color: Orange
  • Music: Rhythm and Blues
  • Book: “Descent of Decency” by T’Rim
  • Sport: Dancing (spectating), Figure Skating (Spectating)
  • Food: Meduilae (Mizarian Jellyfish) Soup
  • Beverage: Bizzberry Frappé

Ambitions and Goals

  • Visit Denali Station or Vulcan
  • Obtain a physical copy of Surak's Teachings or the Rules of Acquisition
  • Secure Kolya's future as an artist
  • Return to Mizar IV to make amends

Interests

 History and Culture Studies

Gila’s original field of study was firmly within the humanities, specifically history and culture development. She seems to almost actively avoid the subject, but she’s unable to entirely cut ties with it, and most of her favorite reading material is academic journals and publications about alien history and cultural development. She does not, however, possess any of her own publications, or indeed any about the Mizarians themselves.

 Cooking

Calling Gila a ‘cook’ would be an insult to the profession, but it is something she enjoys doing when she’s stressed or worried about something. Following a recipe and disconnecting her mind for a while has an almost meditative effect on her, and while her skill is far from excellent, she has started to develop some skill in it after cooking her own food during her Academy years.

 Sewing

A more recent hobby of Gila’s, born out of necessity as the state of her Yeal-robes started deteriorating after Gila’s prolonged absence from her homeworld. She’s not skilled at it by any means, but it is something she practices with dedication and focus, and it allows her to feel closer to something akin to a feeling of home without having to face some complicated feelings directly tied to her past.

 Journaling

Gila has been practicing the Mizarian tradition of Ur’tal - a form of journaling where, before sleeping every night, you write down all that has happened through the day, your emotions and concerns, and then burn the material on which you’ve written. She has a complicated relationship with the tradition, as she has previously attempted to stop it, but found herself becoming increasingly more anxious for each day she didn’t perform it.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes

  • Academic work - Reading and peer-reviewing other doctors’ medical journal can seem dry work, but to Gila, it harkens back to a simpler time where she did similar work in the comforts of her home on Mizar II.
  • Exploration - Anything new and unexplored is extremely interesting to Gila, and when she's wrapped up in research, solving a mystery or discovering a new area, she comes fully out of her shell to lay bare the curious and inquisitive young woman she could be.
  • Alien art - Mizarian art is very dry and unimaginative, void of color. Since leaving Mizar II, Gila has developed a fondness for more expressive schools of artwork, partially spurred on by her desire to help her artistic nephew break the mold of Mizarian artistry.
  • Meditation - Spiritualism and faith is something Gila grew up with, and while she doesn’t consider herself religious, she still finds great calm in the act of meditation.

Dislikes

  • Conflict - Gila will actively avoid conflict at almost any cost, often attempting to either extract herself from a situation before it gets heated, or playing peacekeeper, if she sees no other alternative.
  • Being forgotten - Due to certain events in her past, Gila suffers from intense athazagoraphobia - the fear of being forgotten or ignored.
  • Alcohol - Gila has only gotten drunk once in her life, and it is a sensation she never wants to experience again. As such, she rarely partakes in alcoholic drinks.

Relationships

title=Family
Koja - Father

Gila and her father had a rocky relationship all through her upbringing, and while no one ever doubted that Gila loved and admired her father very much, her father’s prolonged absences from home and generally strict demeanor towards his daughters has since driven a wedge between the two. This wedge only deepened with Gila’s resignation and subsequent admission to Starfleet Academy.


Cefli - Mother

Gila’s mother had a limited impact on Gila’s upbringing. Busy as she was with her work, she was also completely subservient to her husband when it came to raising their two daughters. There is love between them, but more than anything, Gila has a tough time confiding in her mother due to an underdeveloped relationship. Cefli often asks her eldest daughter Eyla how Gila is doing, though she doesn’t have the courage or will to contact her daughter herself.


Eyla - Older sister

The two Sadar sisters had a tense relationship growing up, often competing for their father’s approval - a competition Gila often lost - but after they grew up, the two sisters have gotten far closer than they ever were as kids. Eyla still maintains communication with her sister, and though she initially had difficulties understanding Gila’s reasons for leaving Mizar II behind, recent developments have led to her understanding far more than she ever hoped she would.


Kolya - Nephew

Kolya is Gila’s nephew, and very much the apple of her eye. Kolya is demonstrating uncharacteristic creativity and drive for a Mizarian, a fact that worries both his grandfather and parents. Gila encourages this by telling him stories of her experiences in the Federation and sending him fiction and artwork of many different species. The boy himself doesn’t yet understand the family schism that his talents will cause, and Gila hopes he will never find out.


title=Friends
LT Madison Marsh.png
Best Friend, Starbase 118 Ops

Madison and Gila took most of the same classes at the Academy while taking their Xenobiology Major, but they didn't really start talking until they both entered Starfleet Medical Academy, and were put on the fast track. Since they both were the 'odd ones out' due to taking both 1st and 2nd year classes simultaneously, they started talking, and the two now have a close relationship. They will often communicate on subspace - with Madison stationed on Starbase 118, and Gila wherever the Artemis is taking her - both just to talk and to provide feedback and constructive criticisms on each other's latest research.

Complementing Opposites, USS Ronin

Gila first met Vailani Zoyara when the latter was unconscious in the Artemis' Sickbay, but the first time they spoke was when Gila was being accosted by a particularly hypochrondriac Bolian hybrid in the Brew Continuum on her 'break'. In the aftermath of that encounter, Vailani and Gila became fast accomplices to each other's workaholic tendencies, and enjoyed a good while of companionable working silence. In spite of their radically different tempers, they became fast friends, and while distance has restricted their opportunities to truly lean on each other in times of distress, they still remain in subspace contact with handwritten letters, and even took trips during shore leave together. They recently reunited when LT Vailani was transwarped along with the crew of Amity Outpost to a Borg Cube, that Gila was aboard. Not the ideal reunion, but one that brought a great sense of relief with it...

Captain, USS Artemis-A

The Captain of the Artemis-A was one of two Starfleet Officers who oversaw Gila and Madison's final test before graduation. Though Gila had little opportunity to converse with her future Captain, she felt both excitement and deep fear at the idea of being assigned to her vessel. While their working relationship started out tested by Gila's fear of what real Starship combat sometimes required of officers, the two were eventually able to have a proper talk about what being a Doctor serving in Starfleet sometimes means. The oath 'Do No Harm' sounds easy, but as Captain Mackenzie says, the job sometimes tests you in ways you'd never imagine. Gila knows that the Captain's words are true, but remains hopeful that she won't understand to what extent for a long while yet...

JK - Red Picard v5.jpg
A Burdened Shoulder, USS Artemis-A

Gila's first meeting with the Betazoid then-Second Officer was on the surgery table after he endured severe trauma during the Suliban boarding, but in the time that Gila's served on the Artemis, she's had plenty of opportunities to form a more well-rounded opinion on the Lieutenant Commander. He's been a source of comfort in her most troubled times, most recently talking Gila out of a shameful resignation, and while Gila remains undecided on whether the crew is truly better off with her a part of it, she's dedicated to serve to the utmost of her abilities while she's here. She remains deeply concerned about the Lieutenant Commander's general health, as their encounters always give her the general impression of man who carries the world on his shoulders, but how does one ease that burden from someone all too stubborn to accept help?


Character Page: Talos Dakora

Lyara.png.a74aa194814329054780237adc48ffdd.png
A New Chapter, USS Artemis-A

Through no true merit of her own, Ensign Lyara ended up taking center stage in a rather tumultuous time of Gila's life. When Gila returned from her trip home to the Mizar System with her nephew in tow, it was the Bajoran Ensign who piloted the shuttle that was slated to take the three of them back to the USS Artemis, Ensign Lyara and Kolya's new home. Due to their close proximity to each other for that journey, and Lyara being the first Artemisian Kolya encountered, Gila feels that - perhaps - their paths are intertwined. For better or for worse, remains to be seen.


Character Page: Lyara Alroyo

Ensign Savel.png
Familiarity in a New Package, USS Artemis-A

Savel's Vulcan mannerisms have made him something of a safe harbor for Gila as he reminds her of one of her dearest Academy friends. When she required assistance with phaser training - per her counselor's instructions - Lieutenant Savel was the one to come to her aid, and thanks to his logical instructions and intuitive understanding of her behaviour, the training was a success. Gila is certain that the Lieutenant's wisdom will be a great source of comfort to her in the future, and she looks forward to continuing her service with him.


Character Page: Savel

Sil-Picard Uniform.png
The Tempest Himself, USS Artemis-A

Lieutenant Silveira and Gila's relationship is characterized by an uneasy dance between friendship and professionalism. The colloquial ease with which the Lieutenant consistently discards all social decorum, coupled with his far too observant interest in Gila's past, causes the secretive Mizarian to remain on her guard around him at all times, and yet, it also remains true that few aboard the Artemis has been as consistent in making Gila feel welcome and part of the crew. Last shoreleave, Lieutenant Silveira had invited Gila and Lieutenant Jovenan to cooking night in the Holodeck, and while anxiety was a constant companion as ever, Gila found that, perhaps, one day, she could consider the mischievous Tactical Chief a friend. (But that's an opinion that she'll keep to herself for a while yet. Wouldn't do to encourage him.)


Character Page: Vitor Silveira

Jovenan Lt 2401.png
The Lighthouse in the Dark, USS Artemis-A

While in different departments, calling Lt. Commander Jovenan Gila's aspired goal would not be remiss. In the time since joining the Artemis Gila has been able to rely on the professionalism and good sense of the Edo Lieutenant time and again, and while confidence is a rare feeling to Gila, she finds that she's able to better emulate it when considering the bravery with which Lt. Commander Jovenan faces her own fears and insecurities and the kindness that she has showed her. While most of Gila and Jovenan's acquaintance has been overlapping endeavours during the Artemis' many missions, their shared acquaintance - Lieutenant Silveira - has started enabling the two to form an attachment outside of their duties as well, and most recently, the three of them shared a homecooked meal in the Holodeck 2. Hoping to be friends with a superior is very much at odds with how Mizarian Unit Theory works, but in spite of that, Gila finds herself actively seeking out Lt. Commander Jovenan in moments where she feels most insecure, knowing that her leadership will see them through all tasks ahead of them.

Gnai.png
Bonds Forged in Fire, USS Artemis-A

Gila first encountered the Galadoran Lieutenant JG during a temporal displacement to Romulus prior to the supernova, where the mission profile was to assassinate a Romulan Senator. Beyond her discomfort with the mission profile, Lieutenant Gnai was also Gila's first proper encounter with someone new after her promotion, which triggered a lot of anxious fidgeting for the newly promoted LtJG. This apprehension came to a head when the two of them were the only representatives of the USS Artemis-A sent to reinforce the USS Kitty Hawk during Frontier Day. Facing the crisis of the century amidst strangers forged a dependant bond between Gila and her junior officer, and while she's still not entirely sure she's behaved in a manner befit her station, she feels significantly more at ease when interacting with the Galadoran Ensign now... Probably a side-effect of carrying it in a backpack for two hours.


Character Page: Gnai

Adea-2400-CMO-Coat.png
A Man of... Healing?, USS Artemis-A

Commander Genkos Adea is a consummate professional in many circumstances and an intolerable tease in most others. The Commander's primary goal in their working relationship is - as far as Gila can tell - to push her as far out of her comfort zone as possible, and while this is an attitude she recognized from others as well (notably Captain MacKenzie herself), the Commander may have pushed her one step too far. On a recent mission, Gila, Cdr. Adea, LT Jovenan and Ens Gnai were all transplaced to Ki Baratan, with a singular goal. To fake the Dominion's assassination on a Romulan Senator. It is perhaps unfair to aim the blame for that mission and the toll it took on her mental state on the Commander - it was a no-win scenario, after all - and yet Gila can't quite help it.

Gogigobo Fairhug Commander.png
Graduation Overseer (and Hero), Starbase 118 Ops

Attending the Academy on Starbase 118 from her third year onwards, Gila had to get accustomed to a lot of new things - chiefest of which was life aboard a politically charged Starbase at a nexus point in Space. She followed the careers of the resident senior staff with keen interest - they were, after all, already considered some of the best in Starfleet - and Lieutenant Commander Fairhug was one of these staff members. While her opinion of the majority of Ops' senior staff is based on nothing but respect and admiration, Lieutenant Commander Fairhug turned out to be her CO on her final test before graduation, and Gila spent the better part of the mission under his direct supervision. They say you should never meet your heroes, but the Commander's competent leadership, kind guidance and magnanimous grace only further served to cement him as a figure worthy of respect in Gila's eyes. She realizes he probably won't remember her if they ever meet again, but she nevertheless hopes to conduct her Starfleet career in a way that won't betray the potential he saw in her during her final test.

Fellow Black Sheep, USS Ronin

Gila first met Ensign Lorana while the latter served aboard the Artemis. During a shoreleave visit to the Caitian Institute of Art, Gila met Luxa's mother, M'aris Lorana, and while Gila’s familiarity with navigating the whims of overbearing parents led to an unlikely friendship with the elder Lorana, she felt an underlying kinship with the ostracized Luxa. They haven't had time to touch base since the Luxa’s transfer to the USS Ronin, but Gila keeps her in her thoughts, and hopes they get to meet gain one day. Black Sheep have to stick together, after all.

Flint-2401.png
The One I Helped, Amity Outpost

Gila has very few things in life that she feels genuine pride over, but her ability to save LtJG Flint from a life identified by his Borg implants rather than his own character - as well as her success in breaking the Borg Queen's hold over him during the Frontier Day Crisis - had made the Human Lieutenant one such highlight in her life. To say that the two share a personal connection would be a gross exaggeration, as Gila has perhaps exchanged two-three sentences with the man since meeting him, but once a patient of Doctor Sadar, always a patient of Doctor Sadar. And for once, it's a patient who might actually count themselves happy to have been in her care...

IkaiaFUTURE.png
Colleague from my Darkest Day, Amity Outpost

Doctor Ikaia Wong and Gila met under less than ideal circumstances, with Gila temporarily assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk during Frontier Day. Due to Gila's second-hand knowledge of Anti-Borg pharmacological research, she ended up accompanying the Klingon Doctor on that dark day and together, they managed to synthesize 'Borghistamines', a medical formula that would prevent the remote assimilation signal from controlling their fellow officers. Soon after the crisis had been dealt with, Doctor Wong picked Gila as his surgical assistant for a groundbreaking surgery on an injured Changeling, further building upon their professional relationship. Gila find Doctor Wong a familiar spirit - he reminds her a lot of her colleagues aboard the Artemis - and as a Doctor, she trusts his judgment utterly.


Character Page: Ikaia Wong

Iko-PFDay.png
First Impressions and All That, Amity Outpost

Gila has many opinions on many different alien species, and Klingons are no exception. The Klingon Security Officer from Amity Outpost lived up to every single one of Gila's preconceived notions of Klingons during Frontier Day, and worse, she's another example of aliens insisting on using nicknames for complete strangers! It would be bad form to claim that Gila doesn't like LT Iko - as truly, they don't know each other nearly well enough to make such blanket statements - but she is one stranger that Gila will actively avoid at any given moment.


Character Page: Rebecca Iko

Past Curiousity

Between the blonde Eltharian's curious culture being completely foreign to Gila, his dislike of needles conflicting strangely with the ease he continuously updates replaces significant parts of his biological body with mechanical prosthetics and implants and the odd way he sometimes carried himself, Gila has rarely met someone who confuddled her as much as Ensign Chevalier did.


Character Page: Jaseb Chevalier

Hallia Yellir Picard Uniform.png
A Kind-Hearted Catalyst for Change, USS Artemis-A

Gila first encountered the Artemis' Chief Engineer during a mandatory drill organized for her and other fellow Ensigns, but it wasn't until the Lieutenant's physical check-up the following shore leave that the two had proper time to talk. During this check-up, LT Yellir accidentally misranked the newly promoted Gila, inadvertently committing one of the greatest social faux pas in Mizarian culture, and resulting in a very tense consultation. This consultation, however, proved a vital turning point for Gila, who'd just weeks prior considered resigning her commission after a particularly trying mission. After all, if she felt so strongly about a new rank - that she wasn't even sure she had earned - was she really ready to give it up? Gila isn't sure she'll ever muster up the courage to admit to the Lieutenant what her harebrained mistake meant to her, but safe to say, Hallia Yellir's made a big impact on Gila's approach to her job in Starfleet.

Personal History

Pre-Academy

    Gila is the younger daughter of Koja & Cefli Sadar. Koja is a Spiritualist and Educator, travelling all of Mizar II to teach the Ways of the Kahlto - 'the Wheel of Existence' - to Mizarian youths and the family's life was completely defined by it. His two daughters were raised with utmost adherence to the pacifist and normconforming ways of the Kahlto, ensuring that they grew up to be good and law-abiding citizens. Gila was unremarkable for most of her youth - intelligent, but not more so than most - and she preferred to keep to herself. Her sister, on the other hand, thrived under their father’s teachings – eventually securing herself a place as a Councillor’s Aide – but Gila’s inquisitive nature often angered her father, and the subsequent discipline enforced on her aimed to quell her curious spirit. It met with apparent success.

    Gila eventually graduated with rather good marks from the History Programme at the Fourth University of Pozaron and worked as a textbook writer for many years. She enjoyed her work immensely, considering it a job that helped enlighten and nurture future generations of the Mizarian people. But then, a survey dig in the northern hemisphere of Mizar II exposed her and her colleagues to something that could potentially shake the Mizarian cultural identity to its core. Pressure immediately came down on the history department to exclude the find from future textbooks, and to not speak of it to the outside world. This caused Gila to have a crisis of faith and she soon quit her job. A historian is only as useful as their integrity, and Gila had none.

    Choosing to go on a spiritual journey of sorts off-world, Gila got a ticket on a transport vessel heading for Mizar IV and the Starfleet colony located there. On the way, a medical emergency happened on board and as her ID identified her as 'Dr. Sadar', Gila was all but pushed to handle the situation. Needless to say, she failed and the individual she’d been charged with perished. This remains a great source of guilt for her. Her time on Mizar IV was defined by her attempt to acclimatize to life away from her people, but she struggled, both because of her rather sheltered lifestyle and because she was the cause a well-liked member of the community had perished en-route. Particularly the man's son showed great distaste for Gila, and the socially awkward Mizarian struggled to bridge the gap between her and the Federation species present on the Colony.

The Academy Years

    Gila’s four years through Starfleet Academy were quiet by comparison – she wasn’t particularly social and merely focused on her work, but compared to many of her peers, her previous university experience helped buffer her through the worst crunches and pitfalls of higher learning. The initial two years were spent on the San Francisco Campus on Earth, and while this was the longest Gila had lived on an Alien planet thus far, she spent the most of her time doing coursework rather than enjoying the novelty of the world around her. She simply worked through the motions of her Degree, choosing to double-major in Xenobiology and Xenology. The latter major led her to move away from Earth again, switching Campuses to the Academy Campus on Starbase 118, where a lauded Xenologist was doing a research project simultaneously with teaching Academy courses. Graduating from the Starbase 118 Academy, she then applied for the on-station Medical School Branch as well. The social aspect of her new calling - patient communication, review boards and ethical guidelines - was all very challenging to her, but she demonstrated great skill and proved a more than adequate physician. Her tenure at Starfleet Medical was shortened to a three-year track due to her already having completed most of the material while doing her Xenobiology Major, and as such, the already socially inept Mizarian had an even harder time bonding with any of her fellow doctors-in-training, as she took both 1st and 2nd year classes concurrently.

    Motivated by the loss of her first - if unofficial - patient back when she first left Mizar II, Gila specialized in triage and emergency care medicine, leading to her achieving the highest grade possible in the Critical Care clinical rotation. Her worst grades were in the courses of ‘Medical Ethics’ and ‘Diagnosis’, as she had the tendency to readily accept others’ diagnoses and orders, and act on them, even if she knew they were wrong. This is something she has worked to correct, but she still shies away from open conflict with fellow doctors and officers. Upon graduation, Gila was assigned to the USS Artemis-A and sent off to Starbase 224 to embark on the next leg of her journey forward.

Miscellaneous

Artemis's "Question of the Week" Discoveries
1) 240007.02 - Gila's taste in music relies less on music genre, and more on the message of the lyrics. That being said, she dislikes all music with too much percussion, growling and screaming, and she also shies away from instrumental and classical music genres due to negative association.
2) 240007.16 - Gila identifies as CIS female, but is unaware of her romantic preferences beyond the fact that she's attracted to male-coded behavior.
3) 240008.04 - If Gila was a Disney character, she'd be Belle from "Beauty and the Beast".
4) 240009.06 - If she was in a Teen Movie, Gila'd be part of either the Nerd Clique or the Theater Kids, while secretly wanting to be part of the Emo/Goth crowd.
5) 240009.18 - If viewed through the lens of the Johari Window, what is Unknown about Gila is that she's stronger than she thinks she is, and for the right cause, she's capable of going far beyond what she thinks possible.
6) 240009.26 - Gila believes in the rights of synthetic life forms and the idea that androids can be sentient, intelligent individuals. She would also not be opposed to having a synthetic family-member or significant other.
7) 240010.09 - Gila can't play a musical instrument, but if she had to choose one to learn, it would likely be an ocarina. (Though Gila's not very musically inclined at all.)
8) 240101.04 - Gila's nightmare shoreleave is either a forced stay on Risa or being left behind to relax while the Artemis is off on another mission.
9) 240101.07 - The theme song currently most representing Gila's emotional state/character arc is "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish.
