Manor

  • Quarters: A picture of her mother and herself, a small portable (and old) music player from Betazed (formerly her mother's) that can sense rudimentary thoughts and plays appropriate songs to fit. However the AI personality seems to have been implanted with a sadistic sense of humour, playing some songs at exactly the wrong moment, creating awkward situations at points, it's thought this is what caused Maria Alenaas to give it to her daughter.

There is also a communications terminal (the music player sits next to this on the desk) and a resonable size couch with a small table next to it in the main quarters which she's separated from the bedroom area with a screen. The room itself has a large realatively empty space in the centre in which she can dance and stretch to remain limber.

  • Favorite Room: None in particular, though likes to be in any reasonably open space, withing a building she'll normally stick to the walls.
  • Mannerisms: Apologises quite a lot. Tends to fiddle with the end of her ponytail when nervous and rarely laughs outright, usually smiling instead, though she uses many different types of smile.
  • Physical Limitations: Physically weaker than most crewmembers, but flexible and agile, preferring speed over strength.
  • Temperment: Quiet and submissive but intelligent. Shy introvert. Tries not to be too extreme in her own emotions, especially anger. Extremely patient.
  • Habits: Tends to sink into the shadows a lot but will help anyone in any way she can, wakes up very fast and alert as soon as she does.
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: None that is distinct, is known to meditate through dance.

Personality

Quiet but cheerful, also intelligent and has a tendancy to come up with strange ideas that work. However she has quite a low confidence and can be very nervous around most (especially men due to her father) until she gets to trust them. At present has little control over her empathy and needs more extensive training in it.

She will always try to help people even if she dislikes them and usually keeps a calm head in hectic or dangerous situations, in effect cutting herself off from her own emotions. She also tries and usually succeeds in not getting angry at people. However she is likely to shrink away if someone shouts at her.

Hobbies and Pastimes

  • Dancing, preferably to Betazed music, but other music also.
  • Reading romance/psycology books.
  • Challenging herself.
  • Learning all she can, currently focusing on increasing engineering and medical knowledge.

Ambitions and Goals

She wants to become the best counsellor she can be and help as many as she can. This came from when she completely lost control of her empathic abilities and a vulcan counsellor helped her to regain control and teach her some rudimentry empathic control. She wants to be able to assist in the same way.

Personal Achievements and Disappointments

The major achievement so far in her life was graduating from the Starfleet academy as she doubted her ability to either get in or get out, despite her common sense telling her she did fine in the final exam. She was also pleased at her exam results from school, as she had passed with nearly all A's and A*'s. However she celebrated these quietly and celebrated her father being imprisoned even more quietly.

A very great achievement for her was being approved of by the Captain, mostly due to high authority not only noticing, but approving.


Family

A single child with Beatazoid mother and terran father in an arranged marriage. Her father was aggressive and bad-tempered when drunk, and got so increasingly often since he lost his job and gained a very low-level one. After a particularly nasty incident he was arrested and imprisoned, the marriage dissolved and Cara was allowed to drop the name Mil.

Her grandmother, Miss Josephine, on Betazed is the matriarch of the Alenaas family and a recluse to society as it fits her cause. She arranges everything that goes on in the family, often aranging entire lives in order to make contacts and connections. This is not only due to wanting a feeling of control after she was jilted by her engaged husband but also on the discovery o a remote connection to the great Houses of betazed. It is clear that Josephine not only wants the Alenaas' to become a great house but also for her to lead it.

Spouse

  • Marital Status: Single

Children

None

Parents

Mother was Maria Alenaas from Betazoid, she was betrothed by her parents (mainly her mother Josephine Alenaas) to Anton Mil. She was also a victim of Anton's abuse as she was a betazoid, though she was reasonably pretty. She taught Cara about Betazoid culture and was about to organise a teacher for her empathic abilities when she was discovered and forced to cancel arrangements. She only accepted the marriage as it would take her away from her scheming mother who continually makes plans to have a web of contacts spread throughout the galaxy, her final aim being to have her own spy network and therefore a higher position in Betazoid culture.

Anton Mil was Cara's father and a spaniard from Zaragoza on earth. He had xenophobia and was forced to marry someone alien, not his ideal choice but his parents are fiercer than him and he grudingly admitted as the money from the drowry was waved at him. In return he didn't treat them too badly at first until he lost his job three years before Cara entered the academy, steadily getting worse since until a few weeks before the entrance exams for Starfleet.

Personal History

Currently Cara's history has been normal for any girl raised on earth in a mediocre part of a spanish city, with the exception of her father and the final incident concerning him which left her with a partial nervousness around men and the larger scars on her body. Due to her tendancy to listen when people tell her information she did quite well in all of her subjects, though languages were never her strong point despite her mother being a translator/linguist. However she can speak Spanish and English fluently.

The most notable friendship in her life so far is with Sidney Riley, however it is the most notable as it happened so quckly, Cara normally takes so long to trust that feeling a connection so soon is a very strange event for her.
