- Saskia Castel | Female | 32 years old when joined | Armory Officer (Starfleet) | 54 years old at death (asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen while stranded on a drifting shuttle)
He’s (Orrin) 6’1” and light skinned, with the typical spotted pattern of his people running down both temples and sides of his body. The hair often kept short and blonde neatly combed. Grayish blue eyes and a lightly muscled frame. His current rank in Starfleet being a Lieutenant Commander within the Science Division. Serving onboard a Starship. Mostly seen wearing the blue collared shirt, from the Starfleet issued uniform, along with its corresponding pips and Delta comm badge.
Eden Shepherd: Biological Mother, happens to be a 45 year old human female from Washington State, USA, Earth who serves the United Federation of Planets as a Diplomat and Ambassador residing on Trill. She was the one who took care of Skye throughout most of her childhood, although they are not as close as they could have been.
While she was the one to raise her, tensions between the two never seemed to subside. While she still cares about her mother, the corruption of their relationship doesn’t allow for much closure to occur. Although the young hybrid has tried for their bond to improve, only so much can be done.
For an American woman, she is considered to be tall standing at 5’10.” Her build is similar to Skye’s by having an athletic frame with some lean muscles. All features are light, with blonde hair reaching the upper half of her back and gray eyes. Often seen within her diplomatic garments. With fancy hairstyles due to her diplomatic and ambassadorial background.
Background
Personality:
Skye Shepherd is a compassionate and deeply empathetic individual, always wanting to make a positive impact on those around her. Her anxious nature often causes her to overthink, especially when faced with new or unpredictable situations. She worries about making mistakes or letting others down, and this fear can sometimes make her second-guess herself. However, her determination to be a good Starfleet officer keeps her going. Skye is diligent and meticulous in her duties, often preparing extensively to avoid potential problems, and is known for her thoroughness in her scientific research.
She genuinely cares about her colleagues and will go out of her way to offer support, even if it means pushing through her own anxieties. Skye’s kindness is evident in her interactions, as she always tries to see the best in people and empathizes with their struggles, regardless of their background. She is especially sensitive to the balance between her human and Trill sides, often feeling caught between two worlds. This internal conflict makes her particularly attuned to others who feel out of place or are struggling with their identities. Her determination shines through in her scientific work, as she dreams of making discoveries that could help others understand and appreciate diverse life forms across the galaxy.
Skye may come across as overly cautious or nervous at times, but her kindness, empathy, and determination to do what’s right make her a cherished member of any crew she eventually joins.
