Tone/Voice

Ivanova is a spirited young woman who enjoys both colorful metaphors and the company of colorful friends. She has no reservations about bringing up difficult topics when she feels someone close to her needs to say something. She hates apologies and apologetic people. Her humor—if not her entire demeanor—is quite crass, but she means well.

Friends and Notable Colleagues

Betazed

• 

  Dr. Tenzin Zhou

• Tenzin Zhou: A human/Trill doctor stationed with the Starfleet Division on Betazed.

Zhou met Ivanova in 2384 while she was stationed on Betazed as an ensign. The two formed a close friendship, with her playful personality being a nice foil to Zhou's tendency to overthink and take things too seriously, especially in the wake of the separation with his wife. Ivanova is one of the few people with whom Zhou—or "Spot" as she likes to call him—feels able to truly relax and show his sillier side, and it was her enthusiasm that partly inspired Zhou to then join Starfleet himself after he completed his post-graduate training.

• Charles Sampi: The chief medical officer of the Tiger.

Sampi met Ivanova in May 2387 soon after they were both assigned to the Pioneer. Ivanova was the object of Sampi's affections early on, but those affections ultimately went nowhere. The two were reunited when Ivanova was reassigned to the Tiger.

• Eyas Wulfantine: The assistant chief of security of the Tiger.

Afflicted with a mysterious disease that causes him to mutate into a hideous creature, Wulfantine has been diagnosed with a grim prognosis. Unless an alternative cure can be found, the young Pythron will either die in a few months from his current treatment or mutate permanently into a giant reptilian creature. He stepped down from his position as chief of security because of his health and has grown less-confident as time goes on. A former chief of security herself, Ivanova and Wulfantine have developed a friendship based on a mutual understanding of the stresses of the job and the heavy price they pay for serving as the guardians of their shipmates.

Early Life and Betazed

Lidia Ivanova was born in 2359. She joined Starfleet at the age of 21 and was assigned in 2384 to the Starfleet Division on Betazed after she graduated from the academy. On Betazed, she met her good friend Tenzin Zhou as one of his patients. The two continued to keep in touch after Zhou left Betazed in 2386 to begin his own Starfleet training.

USS Pioneer

In May 2387, Ivanova was assigned as a security officer to the USS Pioneer under the command of Captain Jodhani. There, she met Charles Sampi, one of the ship's new medical officers.

Ivanova was promoted to lieutenant junior grade later that year, and by 2388, she was a full lieutenant, assigned as the ship's chief of security. She took up the position after her superior Sven Rebane was severely injured in the line of duty. Rebane was taken to Medical Starbase 253 and has not recovered from his injuries.

USS Tiger-A

In late 2388, Ivanova sought a transfer from the Pioneer and was subsequently reassigned to the USS Tiger-A as a security officer, reuniting her with Sampi. Since her time on the Tiger, she has started to get to know her new colleagues, especially the ever pensive Eyas Wulfantine.
