Sinda Essen is a half Bajoran, half Cardassian product of the Occupation of Bajor. Currently she is the Chief of Security aboard the USS Drake.

Stats

  • Full Name: Sinda Essen (Bajoran naming convention places her family name first).
  • Race: Bajoran/Cardassian hybrid
  • Date of Birth: 236511.05
  • Place of Birth: Bajor, Musilla Province, Holana Orphanage
  • Age: 25
  • Gender: Female
  • Telepathic status: n/a


Appearance

  • Height: 5'5"
  • Weight: 162 lbs
  • Hair Color: Black
  • Length of Hair: Long. Usually worn tied back while on-duty and loose while off-duty.
  • Eye Color: Black
  • Skin Tone: Very pale, almost grey.
  • Birthmarks, Scars: Right hand bears scars of having been broken and set badly in the past. Evidence of old burns dot her arms. During a shield overload on the USS Eagle an exploding console left Sinda Essen with a spinal injury. Intensive surgery and bio-mechanical implants repaired the damage and helped her walk again.
  • Build: Quite heavy-set. Muscular. Broad shoulders.
  • Face: Cardassian 'spoon' and Bajoran nose ridge both visable. Essen also has partially developed Cardassian neck ridges.
  • Carriage: Walks very quickly. Some would say scurry. Hunches herself up small. Walks with a slight limp as a result of a past spine injury.
  • Poses: Hugs her arms close to her body.
  • Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Austere, simple, practical.
  • Shoes: Boots
  • Voice: Quiet and level, unless she's busy shouting at someone.
  • Handedness: Naturally right-handed, but favours her left (see Scars).

Manner

  • Quarters: Fairly messy with old uniforms discarded across the floor and the bed permanently unmade. Very little sign of personal possessions. A small, untended Bajoran shrine sits in one corner with burnt-out incense sticks and a broken Bajoran earring. An intricate crystal sculpture sits on a shelf, a gift from Pandora.
  • Favourite Room:
  • Habits: Flexes her right hand when not concentrating. Essen often addresses non-Bajoran's by their surnames rather than first names, a habit picked up from the Bajoran convention of putting family names first.
  • Mannerisms:
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Bajoran spiritualism (lapsed).
  • Temperment: Often defensive, quick to take offense. Secretive, finds it hard to trust others.
  • Mental problems (complexes and phobias): Essen suffers from issues over her heritage.
  • Physical Limitations: Her right hand has never properly healed from a past injury, although Essen has never allowed a Federation doctor to repair the damage. Her Cardassian genes grant her good nocturnal sight but makes her more susceptible to cold conditions. She has better chemoreception (taste/smell) than Humans but a less developed sense of hearing. The implants in her spine give her considerably above average lower-body strength, although she walks with a slight limp.

Personality

Hobbies and Pastimes

  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion - Bajoran spiritualism (lapsed).
  • Holodeck Novels - Ess likes the escapism that holonovels offer. She likes trying new experiences although she favours mystery novels and the Caitian forest adventure series.
  • Other hobbies - Ess tends to go through hobbies at a fair rate, discarding them when she gets bored or they prove too hard.


Food and Drink

  • Food
    • Ess likes simple rustic food, things she grew up with on Bajor. Soups, stews, Bajoran hasperat, groatcakes and fruit pies filled to the brim.
  • Drink
    • Raktajino - Ess rarely gets going in the morning without at least one cup of strong Klingon coffee.
    • Grapefruit juice.
    • Synthale
    • Kanar - Essen's Cardassian taste buds are very partial to this thick liquor. If she can get her hands on it.


Likes and Dislikes

  • Smells - Ess likes earthy scents such as freshly turned soil, cut grass and wood smoke.


Personal Achievements and Disappointments

  • Ambitions and Goals: To become something more than her mixed heritage.
  • Achievements in Life:
  • Disappointments in Life: A result of a union between an unknown Cardassian officer and a Bajoran labourer, Essen has never been accepted by either species. She sees herself as a constant reminder of the Occupation


Family

  • Marital Status: Single
  • Children: None
  • Parents
    • Father: Unknown - suspected as being Gul Oded of the Cardassian Union Central Command.
    • Mother: Sinda Lo (recently deceased).
