Torvi has a petite build and is slim for her height. She maintains her physique with regular exercise and holodeck programs. She wears her hair quite short. Unlike other Trill, her spots cover over parts of her ears.
She has an odd ability to wear more lesser-known items of clothing from the Starfleet Standards of Dress. On duty is more comfortable wearing the ankle high field boots with her pants bloused into them, or the Skirt/Dress uniform options.
Off duty, is either in Starfleet fitness attire or looking nice in loose flowing clothing, usually with a matching pair of heels. In many of her holodeck programs, she immerses herself in the program, wearing a variety of uniforms or clothing matching particular eras. She has amassed a small collection over the years.
Personality
Many years before she expected to, Torvi was thrust into being a joined Trill, and is still exploring the implications. Having to balance the memories of the Ylvor lineage and her own, blurs the line between her experiences and those of the symbiote. She also feels an obligation to those who had been a Ylvor before her, to someway leave behind a legacy for those hosts of the future. The uncertainly creates an internal struggle which influences Torvi's perspective on her own memories, some of which have been changed due to the merging. She is now trying to shape her understanding of the new situation she has found herself in.
Having had her Academy experience interrupted, she found herself experiencing difficulty in many areas, switching majors to Security, losing her fellow classmates as she took a year away, and not making friends as easily as she used to. Even strange tastes in food, drinks, clothing and in people. A new interest that has fascinated her to no end is observing people and enjoys sitting quietly with her own thoughts in a public space. This could be ascribed to the first host Roban, being an Anthropologist. A heightened awareness has also given her a set of skills that have helped her adjust to a life in Security and Tactical, things like examining exits in a room, watching for body language signs, reading a room's mood and trusting her gut. Torvi is also known to be a great listener with a kind and genuine demeanor. Not exactly following in the predicted plan she put in place for herself, going from a Helm officer major to Security/Tactical instead, Torvi has had to let go of her love of flying. Having experienced trauma with her most recent host Cirila, a shuttle incident has caused long lasting post-traumatic stress from being in shuttlecraft. This became prevalent during her flight training, wherein she lost her natural ability and was prone to panic attacks during training. Mild insomnia has also become an affliction that haunts her, in most cases either not being able to fall asleep or being woken by a nightmare she never remembers. Despite this she is becoming a proficient officer, and strives for efficiency in her work. The occasional ruthlessness in getting tasks done showcases her commitment to duty, with an occasional visible display of concentration as she bites her lip. This blend of determination and focus exemplifies her dedication to excellence in her role. She does have some trepidation regarding her own performance and is still unsure she is doing the right thing. Several previous hosts of the Ylvor symbiote have been in combat roles in the past, and encountered much violence, this has honed Torvi's instincts in her role as security, with many of her combat abilities working like muscle memory. Not requiring much thought, Torvi is competent at many forms of combat, but is still open to learning new skills. The Ylvor symbiote has had many relationships as both male and female and as such has a fluid approach to relationships. Something now Torvi has inherited, finding attraction in any gender and is more attracted to a person's mind and personality than physical appearance. Her occasional flirting reflects a playful side, suggesting that even amidst her responsibilities, she finds moments of levity. She does also enjoy the occasional sarcastic comment or joke, when the situation calls for it.

Personal History
Host: Torvi
Originally born as Torvi Endez, she has had an ordinary life on the colony of Alkenzi minor. An established colony of over 15000 colonists on a lush forested world. Her father’s profession caused him to travel frequently and often Torvi would accompany him travelling to different planets. Travelling to core worlds of the Federation, she was exposed to seeing Starfleet at a young age and was fascinated by the colorful uniforms, starships and shuttles. Noting this interest, her father taking her on a trip to the Starbase orbiting Andoria. Entering the main shuttlebay of the base her face lit up, asking the nearest Pilot, a young human Ensign, about all the different shuttlecraft types and their capabilities. Patiently he answered all her questions before having to return to duty. The Starbase was an amazing new place for Torvi to explore and whenever possible would ask for tours of Starfleet facilities.
Seeing a Federation Frontier Day celebration cemented her desire to become a pilot, seeing the formation flying of the shuttle formations, the fly pasts of Federation starships, especially the historical craft from decades past. At this point she knew almost each and every one of the craft's class and details, to which she would enthusiastically inform her father. She had a wish list of craft that she would love to see, and ticked them off as she grew older, attending more events such as airshows and Frontier days.
Joining Starfleet was her ultimate goal becoming a flight control officer, starting off in shuttles and then moving up to starships. She also had aspirations to become a joined Trill, to experience previous lifetimes in addition to her own was something that she longed for and expected it to happen once she had established herself in Starfleet.
At the age of 13 she decided with all the trips to the Starfleet facilities, she would enter Starfleet as a Pilot, her interest had taken over most of her life, in addition to attending air shows, she had taken up holo-photography to capture her favourite craft. As much as there were performance aircraft of many types, racers, aerobatics and purpose build vessels, but strangely the ones who attracted her the most were those utility craft used by Starfleet and other organisations. Their designs were much more interesting to her.
Alkenzi minor being a colony, didn't have infrastructure to handle private holodecks, so her ability to access her interests were limited. She tracked down the young Ensign who was still assigned to the Starbase around Andoria, about getting into Starfleet Flight Operations, the man, now a Lieutenant was more than happy to help and allowed her to familiarise herself with a couple of the Shuttles in the Hangar. Afterwards Lieutenant Rohman took Torvi to a holodeck and introduced her to one of his favourite flight programs, a historical flight in an F-14 Tomcat from the 1980's. This opened up another world for Torvi to explore, vintage aircraft. Lieutenant Rohman coined the phrase relating to Torvi, 'pouring jet fuel on the fire,' of her interests.
Keeping in touch after several years and on a surprise visit to Alkenzi minor, now Lieutenant Commander Rohman provided his support as Torvi's academy sponsor, which absolutely blew Torvi away. She was overwhelmed that she had lucked out with meeting this man many years ago, she now considers him family.
Symbiont: Ylvor
The Ylvor symbiote has been joined eight times and has been around for 280 years. The hosts have ranged from Anthropologists discovering a feudal world and accidentally becoming a member of their society, to a Starfleet Marine who fought in multiple engagements.
Most uniquely, one host disappeared for 15 years and had little recollection of why or what occurred, it is still unknown. Recently the previous host passed in a training accident involving a shuttlecraft and Torvi was the only Trill in range to assist. Taking a year off from the Academy, she was tasked with undergoing training to fully accept the Symbiote. It is still fresh in her mind, and she is still having issues finding herself.
Quarters
Located on Deck 4, Starboard side, her quarters are directly adjacent to the Junior Officers mess hall. Overjoyed at having such large quarters, she set about making them feel more like home. Adding two Alkenzi Minor native plants, and various personal effects, namely:
A rudimentary Artificial Intelligence program from the JMC.
A model of the USS Hastings, a vessel that one of the previous Ylvor hosts served on, several decades ago.
A Fairbairn Sykes Knife.
