- Telepathic status: E6/T6 (See Telepathic/Empathic Scale) Zinna is a very powerful telepath and empath, which is very uncommon for El-Aurians. It is rumored that El-Aurians could be empathic but never heard of one being telepathic. Some of the people worshiping the Bright Lady often told Zinna that this was a sign that the Bright Lady have given her a special gift to help others. At once a few of them believed she was half Goddess and half human. Zinna used her abilities on El-Aurians to help the Police find out who was innocent or not and to gain more information.

The Divine Doctrine & The Bright Lady
The Divine Doctrine is the sacred text that Zinna would read that was given to her by her parents. It has a list of "dos and don'ts" given by The Bright Lady who Zinna believes is her Goddess, or ruler. Zinna's religion is a very ancient and rare religion and she might be the only El-Aurian left alive practicing it. It's so old and rare it doesn't have it's own name, but Zinna has been searching for one and thinking of naming it. Her religion isn't very strict and doesn't require much "prayer", but such things to upset the Goddess will have consequences.

- When a non-empathic person tells her she's making someone else angry, sad, or feeling worse. She get's angry about this because Zinna is an empath and she knows how they're feeling.
- Special Skills:
- Singing: Zinna has an amazing voice. She used to sing karaoke for money and now is a professional singer. She sung at the Mess Hall a nights at the Academy. She usually sings Pop, R&B, Rock, and Slow Love Songs. Zinna also has the talent of different styles of singing. Zinna knows how to use her voice to produce falsetto, growls, and even whistles!!!
- Listening: Her race is El-Aurian which is also called the race of "listeners". Zinna loves to listen to people talk, not only their problems because she's a counselor, but good things as well. This is special because she can listen for very long periods of time.
- Not getting sick: Zinna eats a lot off cookie dough and cake batter and never gets sick. It's not her El-Aurian body system because her son who is El-Aurian ate raw cookie dough and got sick. Her daughter ate cake batter when she was baking a cake and she got sick. Zinna considers this a miracle.
- Telepathy and Empathy: Zinna is a highly powerful Empath and Telepath. She can sense a single persons emotion from the distance of hundreds of miles. Empathy and Telepathy is very rare for El-Aurians and she has both. None of her parents or grandparents have this gift. She is also a very skilled at reading minds and communicating with her mind and sending different thoughts to other minds. At a time she was a forensic scientist where she should act as a cop on El-Auria and read the minds of criminals to see if they were guilty of committing the crime.
Origin
Zinna was born to two very good parents on 218911.07. She was born and raised in a very middle class family where they weren't wealthy, but hardly ever struggled financially. When Zinna was around 20-40, she would go outside at night and watch the stars and every now and then see ships pass by and wonder what it would be like to be on one. When she was young, she had heard rumors about a species known as the Borg. She was told they were nothing but enemies and the Bright Lady did not like them. They were similar to demons to Christians. However, Zinna only thought these were mere myths and legends.
She worked with the El-Auria Police Department as an Interrogation Specialist with the rank of Detective. She often did crime scene investigation work and used her telepathy to aid in discovering a criminal's truths and lies. Her boss was Commissioner Dedato, and also a very good friend of hers. She worked at this position from 2219 to 2265. She also did some espionage work, but none major. Dedato and Zinna made the perfect team and always brought justice to El-Auria.
Not too soon in 2265, when Zinna was 76, her home world was assimilated by the Borg. Her parents didn't make it because they were crushed by a pile of rubble. Zinna's parents begged for her to help but Zinna was too afraid of Assimilation herself. She told them sorry and headed straight for the rescue ships. Once aboard, she saw Borg drones capture her parents. She considered herself the murder of their lives rather than the Borg because she had a chance to save them, but was too afraid.
Zinna also survived through the destruction of the two starships that carried refuges (SS Lakul and SS Robert Fox) She and a few other El-Aurians were saved by the USS Enterprise-B. She was then put on Earth in an orphanage. But was so strange was that Zinna didn't tell her other siblings they could transport to Earth. She was the last one transport off leaving her brothers and sisters to die! She didn't tell her siblings that that couldn't transport to Earth because they had been angry with Zinna ever since she left their parents to be assimilated by the Borg. They held a grudge against her and she held a grudge against them resulting in their murders.
After finding a place on Earth, she became a professional singer. She started off singing at bars, where she soon met a man named Conner, and had her first child in 2317, who is now seventy-two years old. She then began singing at weddings and other special events that paid a lot more money where she could support her first child. Her partner/pianist, named Edgar fell in love and in the year 2345 she had nine kids who are now forty-four. Once Edgar found out about the news and all the kids, he left her. Zinna was left alone for a while raising the kids until she hired two nannies who would help her raise them. Zinna still was a professional singer and also making a lot of money and more than enough to support her ten kids. Around 2350-2360 she got a second job to make even more money to help her kids get into college as she became a very successful forensic scientist and outstanding interrogator because of her telepathy and empathy.
Zinna was married for the first time in 236112.09 to Rio McDonald. The marriage wasn't a happy marriage at all considering that Rio beat Zinna whenever she did something he didn't like, which was nearly everyday and night. They lasted for two years when Zinna found out he was cheating on her. An immediate divorced was decided. Exactly 10 hours after the divorce Rio broke into Zinna's house and stole some of her things. He apologized and asked to put them back but Zinna stabbed him nineteen times killing the man. Moments later authorities were called and she was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 236309.15. She served her years and now REFUSES to take another life.
Zinna meets a famous writer named Fulian Xonhar who often wrote about Starfleet, the Federation, and space. They met each other when Zinna was being interviewed about how Starfleet can mold former prisoners into good officers. In 2366 they fall madly in love and have seven kids who are now twenty-three. Fulian had already had two kids, who are now twelve, but working and providing for them wasn't hard at all. Zinna soon marries Fulian in 237905.22. In 237912.05 Taxo is born and Fulian has just about had it with all of the kids driving him crazy. He tells Zinna he needs to go to Risa to write in peace, but by then Zinna was a cadet hard at training and couldn't keep the kids while he went to Risa. Around 2387 Zinna was continuously suffering from domestic abuse.
In Zinna's academy years she met a very interesting woman named Scarlet Delores. After they became very good friends Zinna finally told her how she was being abused by her husband. Scarlet told Zinna to toughen up and to not let things weaken her. Zinna thanked her for the advice. They were really good friends and even had some bad times when Zinna would what Scarlet would call "annoying" by:
- Sipping her drinks to loudly, eating elegantly and proper.
- Being nice
- Being forgiving and helpful (despite it's her job)
- Being compassionate all the time
Despite their many differences and nearly being opposites, they both love each other and are very very good friends and wouldn't want to have it any other way.
On 238807.22, Zinna was promoted to ensign and decided to be stationed on a ship. Fulian did not take the news well. He was furious because this would mean he would have to watch all the kids. He moved to Risa with the kids while Zinna served on the USS Independence-A.
On 238811.13, Zinna and Fulian were divorced for good, and Zinna was decided to keep Taxo and not the rest of the kids because they would rather stay with Fulian and have fun on Risa.
On 238901.07, Zinna went into a coma and temporarily lost her telepathy. During this time she eventually recovered and half remembered things and nearly forgot how to walk. Dr Kolar helped her, but she instantly fell in love with him. Soon, Dr. Kolar left to go on leave and she's been sort of "love sick" about him. She needs a man in her life, but is currently afraid of suffering domestic abuse again.
Relationships & Friendships
Commissioner Dedato
Dedato was the Chief of El-Auria police and also Zinna's boss and loyal friend. He often gave the counselor good advice when she was on a case and often had her do things with her telepathy that they could have done with machines, but frankly, he trusted Zinna more. Dedato and Zinna had a very close non-romantic relationship. It was almost as if they were family, but Dedato was significantly older than her, but not that it mattered. When they served together, he was in his 200's while Zinna was in her 70's, but she was his most trusted officer. He didn't even trust his right hand man more than Zinna. Dedato was almost killed, phasered to death, by a conspiracy theorist named Nealo, but Zinna saved him in the nick of time by permanently brain killing Nealo. This was the first time Zinna had used her telepathy to kill someone and the first life she had taken. Dedato helped her cope and get through it though and told her that was one of the consequences of being a "cop": not knowing if you're going to have to kill another person or not. During the Borg invasion Dedato led an assault trying to murder as many drones as possible. Zinna helped when she could, but when she sensed that more El-Aurians were being killed than killing she fled. Luckily she saw Dedato make it to a refugee ship, whether or not he was lucky enough to get to safety before it was attacked by the Borg and destroyed is beyond her knowledge.
Rio McDonald
This was Zinna's first husband. Rio was a very stunning looking man that seemed so nice, but under that shell was pure evil in Zinna's opinion. She fell in love with him around 2361 and married him in 236112.09. It was what she was known as "the trap". Rio was fun, entertaining, charming, and enjoyable during their dating stage. When he asked her to marry him Zinna couldn't say no because she figured their marriage would be like the relationship they currently had. Well, she was wrong. Rio was very tyrant and only delivered her pain whenever he didn't approve of what Zinna was doing. Zinna believed this was just some stage that all marriages go through, but hadn't expected it to be so quickly.
Rio never kissed Zinna after their wedding kiss. Zinna did nothing but work, cook, and clean while they were married. Their marriage was going down the drain. She no longer loved Rio in early 2363 and told him she wanted an immediate divorce. He agreed with her and insulted her and told her how horrible a wife she was. 10 hours after their divorce, Rio broke into Zinna's new home and tried to steal all her belongings. Zinna caught him. Rio apologized and promised he wouldn't do it again, but Zinna was filled with anger and just didn't feel like putting up with him again. She stabbed Rio nineteen times (he died on the twelfth stab). Authorities were called and she served 10 years in prison for Murder of her ex-husband.
Fulian Xonhar
Zinna's second husband.
Zinna meets a famous writer named Fulian Xonhar who often wrote about Starfleet, the Federation, and space. They met each other when Zinna was being interviewed about how Starfleet can mold former prisoners into good officers. In 2366 they fall madly in love and have seven kids who are now twenty-three. Fulian had already had two kids, who are now twelve, but working and providing for them wasn't hard at all. Zinna soon marries Fulian in 237905.22. In 237912.05 Taxo is born and Fulian has just about had it with all of the kids driving him crazy. He tells Zinna he needs to go to Risa to write in peace, but by then Zinna was a cadet hard at training and couldn't keep the kids while he went to Risa. Around 2387 Zinna was continuously suffering from domestic abuse.
Fulian abused Zinna because he was angry and didn't know how else to calm down. His father abused his mother, so he developed a habit of doing it himself. After their divorce he still lives on Risa writing stories and making money. He's still single and sort of misses Zinna and wishes he never abused her because he would still have that happy relationship with her.
In Zinna's academy years she met a very interesting woman named Scarlet Delores. After they became very good friends Zinna finally told her how she was being abused by her husband. Scarlet told Zinna to toughen up and to not let things weaken her. Zinna thanked her for the advice. They were really good friends and even had some bad times when Zinna would what Scarlet would call "annoying" by:
- Sipping her drinks to loudly, eating elegantly and proper.
- Being nice
- Being forgiving and helpful (despite it's her job)
- Being compassionate all the time
Despite their many differences and nearly being opposites, they both love each other and are very very good friends and wouldn't want to have it any other way.
T'Mihn was the rank of ensign when Zinna met her, and she was what Zinna described as "A ball of pure happiness and sunshine". Zinna would often ask T'Mihn for advice when she needed help with patient, Lathu. She also had a girls night out with T'Mihn and also trusts her a lot. She likes T'Mihn because she never seems to get down and is always cheering people up. Zinna also thinks T'Mihn would make a perfect counselor if she had a degree in counseling. She thinks the best way to cheer someone up is to let them hang out with T'Mihn for a while. T'Mihn is also the second Vulcan Zinna has met to display emotion. She first suspected her to be like Velana, which at that point she didn't like, but soon came to her senses and realize she was nothing like Velana. In Zinna's opinion, she was much friendlier. Zinna hopes her friendship with T'Mihn will go good until the day she dies.
Zinna was still and ensign when she met Velana, and so was she. She met her during Velana's psyche evaluation, which Zinna was giving. The two became good friends until their first promotion and awards ceremony. Zinna would would constantly think it was a competition between her and Velana. When Velana was promoted ACMO, Zinna was jealous of her. When Lt. Beaufytor and Lt Cmdr. Tan fell in love with her, Zinna was jealous. When Velana made new friends or received a compliment, Zinna was jealous. When Velana disagreed with Zinna's suggestion of Lathu, Zinna was furious and jealous because Lt Cmdr. Danny Wilde took her side and so did everyone else. Finally, when Velana was promoted to CMO, Zinna was extremely jealous. Not until FltCapt. Sidney Riley ordered them to "make up" in a holodeck simulation that Zinna stopped being jealous of Velana. But before Velana and Zinna could become friends again, she transferred to the USS Mercury.
A civilian counselor who at first Zinna thought was there to steal her job, soon after she fell into a comma, she fell in love with him. Dr. Kolar took a LOA and Zinna's been love sick ever since.
Zinna hard first started out to like the ensign, the rank he held when she met him. And according to her BFF, Scarlet Delores, Zinna had a crush on him. Zinna denied it but had a little feeling in her heart that made her like him because of his enthusiasm. But after they were preparing for an away mission the Helmsman suggested old earth style guns which Zinna hated the idea of and her interest sort of lost in him. She still sort of likes him but not too much because of the gun incident.
