Biography

Mirra Rinn Ezo was born on June 21st 2366 in the capital city Rixx on the planet of Betazed to Ostren Ezo and Rinnodi Kapr-Ezo. She has one sibling, an older brother, Osaric Ezo. Her parents were students of philosophy and had met while attending university. Both parents went on to become instructors, as did her brother once he reached adulthood. Knowledge was considered a blessing, and broadening horizons and enthusiasm for learning was certainly nurtured and celebrated.

Growing up, Mirra was very rarely without her best friend Melora, born only 5 minutes earlier than her. Their mothers were childhood best friends and it seemed the bonds of that friendship would be carried on through their daughters. Mirra always had a fondness for science, particularly when it came to medicine, while Melora was determined to be an ornithologist. They made plans to join Starfleet and room together at the academy when they grew up. At the age of 10, Melora began to develop debilitating headaches, and an extreme aversion to light. Her parents thought perhaps her telepathic abilities were developing early. When her condition worsened, it became apparent Melora was suffering from advanced Darnay's disease. She passed away before her 11th birthday. The loss of her closest friend was nearly too much for Mirra to handle. With the support of her family, she was able to come to terms with the loss, although, never far from her thoughts. Mirra wears a silver locket with an engraved song bird on the front, and two interlocking letter M's on the back. The locket carries a picture of Mirra and Melora.

Mirra continued as planned and joined the academy. While training in medicine, she chose the field of genetics, with a focus on epidemiology as her major. Her passion for medicine and her racial predisposition for empathy helped propel her towards her goal. While normally clear headed, a near debilitating fear of the safety of transporters would often cause awkward, and sometimes slightly amusing interactions with her fellow crew members.

Relationships

Antero Flynn A lighthearted Risian Helmsman she met at the academy. The two became close friends and currently serve together on the Columbia. Their playful banter and easy friendship is something Mirra has come to depend on in stressful times.
Nuvia Oori A trill engineering officer she met while reporting for medical clearance, both women quickly became friends, and bonded after the events of her first mission aboard the Columbia.
Theo Whittaker The Columbia's Terran Chief Engineer. Mirra, along with Nuvia discovered his beaten, unconscious body after being knocked out by an unknown assailant in a Jefferies tube. The two became fiercely protective of each other when facing down a well dressed Pirate Queen on a recent away mission.
Tyler Kelly The Terran Chief of Security and leader of the away team on the recent mission to the island Hemix. After suffering serious injury at the claws of a mind-displaced Nugra, both Tyler and Mirra found themselves trapped in a pirate sickbay and forced to fight their way out, bonding in the most extreme of circumstances

Specializations
