Gwen'ora Tasen Friend & Roommate Gwen'ora and Sevantha came from the same graduating exam on Starbase 118, while they talked little while there, the two were assign to the USS Astraeus in 2401 and arrived together. As Ensigns the two share a room together and Gwen's extroverted personality often serves as Sevantha's motivation to go exploring. Sevan is comfortable enough with Gwen that often times she speaks strictly telepathically. |
 |
Sylvie Doucet Acquaintence & Superior The Acting Chief of Medicine and Sevantha have had brief encounters on the ship, that were mainly professional with a little personal. Sevantha respects her for having to take on so much so fast and is curious about their shared struggle with their past. |
 |
Kris Fianna Professional Acquaintance The two have only recently met in a professional setting and Sevantha is already very aware of how driven Dr. Fianna is in the field. She respects her drive and focus though she can tell the two of them think on very different levels, she hopes it is complimentary in the future. |
 |
Charles Matthews Power Ranger Teammate The two met in the Pagrati Lounge when Cadfael Peters and him invited Gwen and Sevantha to join them for a little holodeck endeavor. Charles thinks a lot and its super hard for Sevantha to ignore despite her efforts, but she appreciates his taste in movies and martial arts. |
 |
Cadfael Peters Power Ranger Teammate The two met in the Pagrati Lounge when Cadfael and Charles invited Gwen and Sevantha to join them for a little holodeck endeavor. The man with the plan and somewhat mystery, Sevantha is curious about the inspiration of the Chief Engineer's hobby but rather just experience the event to learn. |
 |
Chris Caldwell Power Ranger Teammate Another recruit into Charles and Cadfael's Power Ranger team up, though she's uncertain how willing he is. He did however advice for both Gwen and her on their exploration of ship during shore leave which she was appreciative of. |

Morro Caras Akward One Night Hook-Up Morro and Sevantha met briefly at a party while Sevan was attending Starfleet Medical Academy. Hiding from an Ex who had recently broken off things, she spoke the Orion to distract herself. He was both idiotic and smart, a paradox with simple thoughts, which she admitted she needed at the time. After letting herself cut loose & revel in the emotions and dance of the party, the two had a one night stand, which she snuck out the next day to avoid any awkward talks. They have not spoken since. |
Personality
Sevantha is a fairly quiet, reserved and professional individual when people first meet her. Her image is carefully cultivated, she thinks before she speaks, but like most culturally raised betazoids she is honest to a point that seems rude to most cultures. Still most people will find it rare to see Sevantha expressing herself freely, a precaution that comes with Sevantha’s struggle to stop her abilities from permeating any environment she is within. It’s all too easy for her to feel the emotions of others and take them onto herself. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t like to be around others, in fact she rather enjoys feeling the joy of others but has been fairly cautious due to the events of Ohmallera’s destruction which caused a cultural grief that left her developmentally regressive for much of her youth.
When Sevantha does open up, she is curious, inquisitive, and likes belonging to a group. As infectious as others emotions can be, her joy or grief are some of her strongest projections. As a doctor she is dedicated, caring, and determined. In her sport hobbies she can be even a little competitive. It takes time to get her to open up but when she does, she’s a good friend to those around her, even if it’s difficult for her to verbalize it. She actually prefers talking telepathically to those she is close to due to she finds herself more articulate in her mind then when she tries to speak.
Manners
- Quarters::Sevan's space is rather minimalistic currently and is kept relatively clean. Her space is shared with Gwen'ora Tasen as they're both Ensigns. Plants of Gwen's collection have inevitably invaded her side of the room which she has little complaints of. There are some Betazed homeages in the room, primarily imagery of flowing waterfalls with sounds often filling the room to help her meditate with incense and candles, which unintentionally enhances the naturalistic aspect of the room.
- Favourite Room: On the Astraeus Sevantha is very fond of trying to schedule time on the Holodeck, she has a program of a meditation garden with waterfalls and a starry night sky above where she loves to just relax in.
- Temperament: Sevantha is quiet, unobtrusive most of the time, and speaks softly even when she is mad or annoyed, she tries to present intentionally neutral in tone until she warms-up to people in which she is more comfortable being more expressive of her emotions.
- Mannerisms: Sevantha stands with her hands clasped infront of her, she struggles with eye contact with strangers when speaking but if she is comfortable will focus heavily on that individual due to how her focus affects how potent her telepathy is.
- Habits: Sevantha sometimes stares distantly while listening or feeling the emotions of those around her.
- Favourite time of Day: Night Time, she loves the colors of the skies and stars when there is no light pollution blocking them out.
- Favourite Food: A hybridization of Kimden Rolls with the Terran food Kolaches. She loves blended Betazed and Terran foods. Breakfast is her favorite meal time.
- Favorite Drink: Jestral Tea and Raktajinos
Hobbies
- Dancing: She has long enjoyed dance as a personal hobby, she does not enjoy performative, she just enjoys moving to music as it helps her mind relax and sharing the experience mentally with others she finds a satisfying intimate experience.
- Martial Arts: Sevantha is a well studied practitioner of Betazoid Martial Arts, specifically Tassa'Akai, having used it to develop discipline for her abilities. She has interest in learning more and likes to take up anything that allows her to practice with actual partners and not holodeck studies.
- Meditation: As an important part of Betazoid culture, Sevantha enjoys exploring other cultures' traditions of Meditation. She has recently started delving into Vulcan methodology after recommendation of a Lorian, a Vulcan Security Officer, who she worked with during her intern rotations.
- Movies: Attending the academy on Terra Sevantha was exposed to the more narrative style of story-telling movies offer. She enjoys anything with martials arts involved or detective stories or actions movies, but doesn't like movies that conjure lots of emotions due to she likes turning her mind off.
- Music: She is a fan of soothing music and sounds, they help her relax and keep her emotions in check. The hobby tends to mix her enjoyment of dancing and meditation.
- People: Her predestined path was to be a counselor and even though she was unable to pursue it, understading people is something that has never left her heart despite her struggle with her overactive empathy many people find invasive. Understanding how they work, they think, sharing experiences is important to her as a Betazoid despite her more anti-social nature.
- Studying: Sevantha is a forever student type, she loves reading, she loves studying, investigating things she doesn't understand. Her favorite subjects of interest being Xenobiology, Neuroscience, and Xenoarcheology. If she has a chance to learn from someone more skilled in the field she happily takes the opportunity to hear them out.

- .
