Lieutenant Junior Grade Zinna, a pacifistic El-Aurian, is currently a Counselor aboard the USS Atlantis. She recently returned from her short retirement after her coma. She was a former prisoner, serving 10 years. She was also a former Detective on El-Auria and was on the planet when the Borg destroyed the planet. She has had over 20 children and has suffered from domestic abuse and horrible relationships/marriages. She is very old but looks very young and is a very talented singer and counselor. She once thought that there was something evil inside of her that was waiting to be released because she sinned to her Goddess, The Bright Lady, of jealousy. She thought this was a punishment and it had been driving her crazy since. She could hear an evil voice inside her head telling her to do bad things and reminding her that she was a bad person and always saying how her little secret would soon be known and her life would be ruined. She recently took a leave to solve her "crisis of faith.

RELIGIONZinna, unlike most StarFleet officers, practices a religion and it is old and rare; hardly anyone else still practices it. The Religion does not have a name but all followers know of The Divine Doctrine. It is the sacred text that Zinna would read that was given to her by her parents. It has a list of "dos and don'ts" given by The Bright Lady who Zinna believes is her Goddess, or ruler. Zinna's religion is a very ancient and rare religion and she might be the only El-Aurian left alive practicing it. It's so old and rare it doesn't have it's own name, but Zinna has been searching for one and thinking of naming it. Her religion isn't very strict and doesn't require much "prayer", but such things to upset the Goddess will have consequences. She often feels odd or out of place because of this since she only knows one other officer that has a religion. She also used to feel odd when she'd say, "Goddess!" or "By the Bright Lady", but she has gotten over it now and feels perfectly comfortable exclaiming it.
PERSONALITY/MANNERISMSPersonalityThey don't call her a "listener" for nothing. She would rather listen to someone for two hours then talk for two hours. She has the tendency to be *too* curious at sometimes when she wants to learn something she ends up getting herself or others in danger. She likes to learn about new things and will do just about anything to learn. Zinna is also almost like a pacifist believe it or not. Ever since she killed her husband she swore to never take another life. So things like guns, knives, fatal gases, torture chambers, or anything that can be used to kill someone purposely she will act odd towards it and might even get offended. She may be old but she acts very youthful and hardly ever uses her old age as a reference for wisdom. She also does not like to be taken advantage or told she is doing something wrong, meaning she does not like to be proven wrong. Zinna had currently been acting differently then she normally would and that was because she thinks the Bright Lady was punishing her for sinning of jealousy and murder. Zinna was jealous of one of her fellow officers, which was against the Divine Doctrine and she did not apologize to the Bright Lady until she started hearing a voice inside her head which she labeled as "New Zinna" or "Dark Zinna". The voice in her head mumbled evil and mean things and was often trying to blackmail her. She had suffered sickness because of this claiming not being able to sleep because she could see through her eyelids and see "Old Zinna" and "New Zinna" fighting each other. She claimed the "New Zinna" was trying to get rid of the older version of herself. She was currently having these visions of fights. She had not told anyone this because of the dark secret she would have to say in order for them to understand. The voice in her head was blackmailing her because Zinna had did something very bad and refuses to come clean, afraid of what might happen to her. She knows she will have to suffer the consequences but was too hurt, afraid, and lost to say anything, but if she doesn't, the "New Zinna" might emerge and drive her crazy. Manner,
Enthusiastic, idealistic, and creative. Able to do almost anything that interests them. Great people skills. Need to live life in accordance with their inner values. Excited by new ideas, but bored with details. Open-minded and flexible, with a broad range of interests and abilities.
Special Skills
ORIGINBefore the BorgZinna was born to two very good parents on 218911.07. She was born and raised in a very middle class family where they weren't wealthy, but hardly ever struggled financially. Zinna was taught, by her parents, that the Bright Lady awarded the good and punished the bad. Her parents expected success out of Zinna and always gave her a strong talk when they thought she was slacking. Education was very important to them because they wanted Zinna to be very intelligent and do something with her life other than what her parents did. Her father was a chef and her mother was a seamstress. After pressuring Zinna with her education they realized they were doing the wrong thing and told her instead to chase her dream. She started doing things that were fun instead of studying for school. She began taking singing lessons and was actually a pretty talented singer. Zinna lived six other siblings who treated her very badly sometimes and that was because of her special gift: her telepathy and empathy. Zinna was an outcast at school and hardly any of the parents wanted their children around someone who could read minds. Telepathy was very rare on El-Auria and hardly ever seen, and when it was people considered it a curse rather than a gift. Zinna grew thinking she was cursed. Her siblings would tease her and also blame everything on her. One day, a religious leader had told people that Zinna wasn't cursed and that it was a special skill sent from the Bright Lady. This helped ease the tension in Zinna's life and she was finally able to go outside without getting dirty glares. When Zinna was around 20-40, she would go outside at night and watch the stars and every now and then see ships pass by and wonder what it would be like to be on one. When she was young, she had heard rumors about a species known as the Borg. She was told they were nothing but enemies and the Bright Lady did not like them. However, Zinna only thought these were mere myths and legends. Even though she had heard many people speaking of the rumors, her parents always told her to ignore them and that they were not real. She got her first job at an El-Auria Police Department as an Interrogation Specialist with the rank of Detective. She often did crime scene investigation work and used her telepathy to aid in discovering a criminal's truths and lies. Her boss was Commissioner Dedato, and also a very good friend of hers. She worked at this position from 2219 to 2265. She also did some espionage work, but none major. Dedato and Zinna made the perfect team and always brought justice to El-Auria. Although Zinna never really had a problem with reading people's minds for the truth, she felt like a murderer when she used it to hurt people. There was a man named Nealo who tried to attack Dedato and Zinna and she used her telepathy to hurt him nearly leaving him brain dead. The End of El-AuriaNot too soon in 2265, when Zinna was 76, her home world was assimilated by the Borg. Her parents didn't make it because they were crushed by a pile of rubble. Zinna's parents begged for her to help but Zinna was too afraid of Assimilation herself. She told them sorry and headed straight for the rescue ships. Before she left they told her that it was okay and that it was no use saving her and told her to go o. Once aboard, she saw Borg drones capture her parents. She considered herself the murder of their lives rather than the Borg because she had a chance to save them, but was too afraid. Zinna also survived through the destruction of the two starships that carried refuges (SS Lakul and SS Robert Fox) She and a few other El-Aurians were saved by the USS Enterprise-B. But was so strange was that Zinna didn't tell her other siblings they were supposed to transport to Earth. She was the last one to transport off leaving her brothers and sisters to die! She didn't tell her siblings that they were supposed transport to Earth because they had been angry with Zinna ever since she left their parents to be assimilated by the Borg. They held a grudge against her and she held a grudge against them resulting in their murders. On EarthAfter finding a place on Earth, she became a professional singer. She started off singing at bars, where she soon met a man named Conner, and had her first child in 2317, who is now seventy-two years old. She then began singing at weddings and other special events that paid a lot more money where she could support her first child. Her partner/pianist, named Edgar fell in love and in the year 2345 she had nine kids who are now forty-four. Once Edgar found out about the news and all the kids, he left her. Zinna was left alone for a while raising the kids until she hired two nannies who would help her raise them. Zinna still was a professional singer and also making a lot of money and more than enough to support her ten kids. Around 2350-2360 she got a second job to make even more money to help her kids get into college as she became a very successful forensic scientist and outstanding interrogator because of her telepathy and empathy. Zinna was married for the first time in 236112.09 to Rio McDonald. The marriage wasn't a happy marriage at all considering that Rio beat Zinna whenever she did something he didn't like, which was nearly everyday and night. They lasted for two years when Zinna found out he was cheating on her. An immediate divorced was decided. Exactly 10 hours after the divorce Rio broke into Zinna's house and stole some of her things. He apologized and asked to put them back but Zinna stabbed him nineteen times killing the man. Moments later authorities were called and she was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 236309.15. She served her years and now REFUSES to take another life. Zinna meets a famous writer named Fulian Xonhar who often wrote about Starfleet, the Federation, and space. They met each other when Zinna was being interviewed about how Starfleet can mold former prisoners into good officers. In 2366 they fall madly in love and have seven kids who are now twenty-three. Fulian had already had two kids, who are now twelve, but working and providing for them wasn't hard at all. Zinna soon marries Fulian in 237905.22. In 237912.05 Taxo is born and Fulian has just about had it with all of the kids driving him crazy. He tells Zinna he needs to go to Risa to write in peace, but by then Zinna was a cadet hard at training and couldn't keep the kids while he went to Risa. Around 2387 Zinna was continuously suffering from domestic abuse. The AcademyAfter being released from prison Zinna instantly headed to StarFleet Academy to apply. She had made a promise to Fulian and she wanted to keep it so on 238308.10, Zinna was accepted and made a Cadet 4th Class. She chose to major in counseling thinking it would be the easiest course. Zinna excelled in Diplomacy but was extremely weak in Engineering. At one point in her cadet year she was nearly going to fail because of the Engineering courses and was considering dropping out. Most of her roommates didn't like to be near her because they knew she was a former convict and also a telepath, and those two things they did not trust together. Whenever something went missing they'd first look at Zinna and politely ask if she stole. Also, most of her classmates were severely younger than her, by about 180 years. This was also a key factor as to why she didn't have that many friends. In her Academy years she was also doing poor in Science but didn't let it get to her. While at the Academy her marriage with Fulian was not going well. The several kids were driving him crazy and he had also started hitting Zina when things were not going his way. Zinna was feeling hurt and lost and didn't know what to do. That's when she met a very interesting woman named Scarlet Delores. After they became very good friends Zinna finally told her how she was being abused by her husband. Scarlet told Zinna to toughen up and to not let things weaken her. Zinna thanked her for the advice. They were really good friends and even had some bad times when Zinna would what Scarlet would call "annoying". Despite their many differences and nearly being opposites, they both love each other and are very very good friends and wouldn't want to have it any other way. Zinna was finally doing good at the Academy especially in counseling, diplomacy, medicine, and her one intelligence course. She was doing average for her Engineering and Science classes, but that didn't bother her too much. On 238708.10 she took her cadet cruise on the USS Centris-A. Fulian was still abusing her because he wanted some alone time to write his stories. Zinna took her final exam and passed it. Starfleet CareerOn 238807.22, Zinna was promoted to ensign and decided to be stationed on a ship. Fulian did not take the news well. He was furious because this would mean he would have to watch all the kids. He moved to Risa with the kids while Zinna served on the USS Independence-A. On 238811.13, Zinna and Fulian were divorced for good, and Zinna was decided to keep Taxo and not the rest of the kids because they would rather stay with Fulian and have fun on Risa. Zinna also learned the death of her God Mother and inherited a headdress. On 238901.07, Zinna went into a coma and temporarily lost her telepathy. During this time she eventually recovered and half remembered things and nearly forgot how to walk. Dr. Kolar Ren helped her, but she instantly fell in love with him. Soon, Dr. Kolar left to go on leave and she's been sort of "love sick" about him. She needs a man in her life, but is currently afraid of suffering domestic abuse again. RELATIONSHIPS & FRIENDSHIPSCommissioner DedatoDedato was the Chief of El-Auria police and also Zinna's boss and loyal friend. He often gave the counselor good advice when she was on a case and often had her do things with her telepathy that they could have done with machines, but frankly, he trusted Zinna more. Dedato and Zinna had a very close non-romantic relationship. It was almost as if they were family, but Dedato was significantly older than her, but not that it mattered. When they served together, he was in his 200's while Zinna was in her 70's, but she was his most trusted officer. He didn't even trust his right hand man more than Zinna. Dedato was almost killed, phasered to death, by a conspiracy theorist named Nealo, but Zinna saved him in the nick of time by permanently brain killing Nealo. This was the first time Zinna had used her telepathy to kill someone and the first life she had taken. Dedato helped her cope and get through it though and told her that was one of the consequences of being a "cop": not knowing if you're going to have to kill another person or not. During the Borg invasion Dedato led an assault trying to murder as many drones as possible. Zinna helped when she could, but when she sensed that more El-Aurians were being killed than killing she fled. Luckily she saw Dedato make it to a refugee ship, whether or not he was lucky enough to get to safety before it was attacked by the Borg and destroyed is beyond her knowledge. Rio McDonaldThis was Zinna's first husband. Rio was a very stunning looking man that seemed so nice, but under that shell was pure evil in Zinna's opinion. She fell in love with him around 2361 and married him in 236112.09. It was what she was known as "the trap". Rio was fun, entertaining, charming, and enjoyable during their dating stage. When he asked her to marry him Zinna couldn't say no because she figured their marriage would be like the relationship they currently had. Well, she was wrong. Rio was very tyrant and only delivered her pain whenever he didn't approve of what Zinna was doing. Zinna believed this was just some stage that all marriages go through, but hadn't expected it to be so quickly. Rio never kissed Zinna after their wedding kiss. Zinna did nothing but work, cook, and clean while they were married. Their marriage was going down the drain. She no longer loved Rio in early 2363 and told him she wanted an immediate divorce. He agreed with her and insulted her and told her how horrible a wife she was. 10 hours after their divorce, Rio broke into Zinna's new home and tried to steal all her belongings. Zinna caught him. Rio apologized and promised he wouldn't do it again, but Zinna was filled with anger and just didn't feel like putting up with him again. She stabbed Rio nineteen times (he died on the twelfth stab). Authorities were called and she served 10 years in prison for Murder of her ex-husband. Fulian XonharZinna's second husband. Zinna meets a famous writer named Fulian Xonhar who often wrote about Starfleet, the Federation, and space. They met each other when Zinna was being interviewed about how Starfleet can mold former prisoners into good officers. In 2366 they fall madly in love and have seven kids who are now twenty-three. Fulian had already had two kids, who are now twelve, but working and providing for them wasn't hard at all. Zinna soon marries Fulian in 237905.22. In 237912.05 Taxo is born and Fulian has just about had it with all of the kids driving him crazy. He tells Zinna he needs to go to Risa to write in peace, but by then Zinna was a cadet hard at training and couldn't keep the kids while he went to Risa. Around 2387 Zinna was continuously suffering from domestic abuse. Fulian abused Zinna because he was angry and didn't know how else to calm down. His father abused his mother, so he developed a habit of doing it himself. After their divorce he still lives on Risa writing stories and making money. He's still single and sort of misses Zinna and wishes he never abused her because he would still have that happy relationship with her. Scarlet DeloresIn Zinna's academy years she met a very interesting woman named Scarlet Delores. After they became very good friends Zinna finally told her how she was being abused by her husband. Scarlet told Zinna to toughen up and to not let things weaken her. Zinna thanked her for the advice. They were really good friends and even had some bad times when Zinna would what Scarlet would call "annoying" by:
Despite their many differences and nearly being opposites, they both love each other and are very very good friends and wouldn't want to have it any other way. Zinna and Scarlet did many things together, nearly everything together. She attended Zinna's graduation and Zinna attended hers. At first Zinna was ashamed of Scarlet's loudness and straightforwardness on the USS Independence-A. Most people had seen Scarlet as loud and weird, but Zinna saw it as funny, but wanted to fit in so badly she reacted like everyone else. But as time went on Zinna let the fake persona go and started treating Scarlet like a true friend. T'Mihn Ah'mygahnT'Mihn was the rank of ensign when Zinna met her, and she was what Zinna described as "A ball of pure happiness and sunshine". Zinna would often ask T'Mihn for advice when she needed help with patient, Lathu. She also had a girls night out with T'Mihn and also trusts her a lot. She likes T'Mihn because she never seems to get down and is always cheering people up. Zinna also thinks T'Mihn would make a perfect counselor if she had a degree in counseling. She thinks the best way to cheer someone up is to let them hang out with T'Mihn for a while. T'Mihn is also the second Vulcan Zinna has met to display emotion. She first suspected her to be like Velana, which at that point she didn't like, but soon came to her senses and realize she was nothing like Velana. In Zinna's opinion, she was much friendlier. Zinna hopes her friendship with T'Mihn will go good until the day she dies. VelanaZinna was still and ensign when she met Velana, and so was she. She met her during Velana's psyche evaluation, which Zinna was giving. The two became good friends until their first promotion and awards ceremony. Zinna would would constantly think it was a competition between her and Velana. When Velana was promoted ACMO, Zinna was jealous of her. When Lt. Beaufytor and Lt Cmdr. Tan fell in love with her, Zinna was jealous. When Velana made new friends or received a compliment, Zinna was jealous. When Velana disagreed with Zinna's suggestion of Lathu, Zinna was furious and jealous because Lt Cmdr. Danny Wilde took her side and so did everyone else. Finally, when Velana was promoted to CMO, Zinna was extremely jealous. Not until FltCapt. Sidney Riley ordered them to "make up" in a holodeck simulation that Zinna stopped being jealous of Velana. But before Velana and Zinna could become friends again, she transferred to the USS Mercury. Dr. Kolar RenA civilian counselor who at first Zinna thought was there to steal her job, soon after she fell into a comma, she fell in love with him. Dr. Kolar took a LOA and Zinna's been love sick ever since. Joseph ClarkZinna hard first started out to like the ensign, the rank he held when she met him. And according to her BFF, Scarlet Delores, Zinna had a crush on him. Zinna denied it but had a little feeling in her heart that made her like him because of his enthusiasm. But after they were preparing for an away mission the Helmsman suggested old earth style guns which Zinna hated the idea of and her interest sort of lost in him. She still sort of likes him but not too much because of the gun incident. Brayden JoreyZinna and Brayden have a unique friendship. They both became very close with each other when Zinna entered a coma. She was giving Brayden a counseling session, trying to help him with his vision of the Reapers that they recently encountered in their last mission. Somehow, whatever was in Brayden's mind got into Zinna's and when Zinna went to sleep, she didn't wake up. She stayed in a coma from 239003.26 to 239006.13. She retired the following day. It was difficult for them to communicate when they saw each other six months later as Brayden blamed himself for not being with Zinna when she woke up.
