Personality
Eshia keeps her hair meticulously groomed to keep flyaway hairs slicked down, and her resting facial expression is stern, with an often-furrowed brow. She loathes the chilly temperatures and bright lights that Federation ships run by default, and tries to combat the cold by wearing thick sweaters— her favorite is Pakled-style and was gifted to her by a patient, though she aloofly only wears it in private. She can be moody and has a direct, no-nonsense attitude that often comes off as cold, but she respects those who respect her and cares deeply about her career in art therapy.
Regularly, Eshia creates intricate pieces on her pottery wheel and then smashes them so that the clay may be recycled again and again. This cycle of creation and destruction is something that she sees herself in, and something that has helped her to learn to change what she can and let go of what she cannot. It is her favorite technique to practice with her patients.
Eshia gets along poorly with people whose opinions of Cardassia are too positive or too negative, and prefers people whose opinions lie somewhere in the middle— those who condemn the wrongdoings of Cardassia but also acknowledge the beautiful culture that it has to offer. She doesn’t try to conceal her past and never lies about it, but people who probe impatiently for the information instead of waiting for her to offer it readily may find her significantly more difficult to befriend. She is a lonely person who tends to distance herself from most people, but simultaneously wishes that she had more meaningful companionships.
Background
Eshia Kilak is a Cardassian trans woman. She was born on Cardassia Prime in 2320 and given the name Shokam Kurat.

In 2365, she was posted at a labor camp for the first time and was tasked with the disposal of the remains of children— it was too much. She ran and never looked back.
After deserting the Cardassian military, she effectively exiled herself. She began her gender transition, took the name Eshia Kilak, and struggled to form a new identity. For years, she lived in denial of her role in the atrocities of the occupation. Eventually, she took up art as an outlet and began the hard work of accepting her past.
