PERSONALITY
Tasha is often described as overly energetic or hyperactive and is a big child at heart. She finds everything amazing and almost always has a smile on her face. If somebody tries to challenge Tasha's view on something she will staunchly defend her view, often to a ridiculous extent. Tasha doesn't get angry very easily but when she does she usually resorts to yelling and name calling.
Clothing:
On Duty: Standard Starfleet uniform, with a belt holding an array of pouches and tools.
Off Duty: Tasha prefers to wear comfortable, loose shirts and trousers. She would not be seen dead in skirts or dresses. Although she will often be seen wearing a kilt, a kilt is not a skirt and those people who have tried to tell Tasha otherwise were very sorry later.
Hobbies:
- Tinkering: Tasha is always working on something mechanical in her spare time.
- Music: Tasha plays the traditional Scottish Bagpipes. This led to more than one argument at the academy when she tried to practice and some people didn't like the noise.
- Model Making: Tasha has a large collection of model Starships that she has modified to be flown with a remote control.
Likes:
- Cooking: Tasha is a pretty good cook and isn't a fan of replicating meals.
- Old Style Weapons: Tasha's father is a very traditional man and thought his daughter should learn what he called the "essential old skills" including how to wield a sword. Tasha enjoyed this and one of her most prized possessions is an old Scottish Claymore.
- Scotland: Tasha is VERY patriotic.
- Unicorns: Just don't question it.
Dislikes:
- McFarlane:There is a clear difference between MacFarlane and McFarlane, Tasha gets irritated with people who can't get it right.
- Blood: When Tasha sees blood, hers or someone else's, she will freak out.

PERSONAL HISTORY
Tasha MacFarlane was born on Stardate 236906.01 to Robert and Natalie MacFarlane. There is a history of Engineers in Tasha’s family with bother her father and uncle being excellent ones. When she was 4 years old her father joined Starfleet as an enlisted engineer to help fight in the Dominion war. Roughly 14 months later they received a report stating that her fathers ship had been destroyed and all hands were assumed lost. It came as a shock when shortly after the war Robert returned home having spent time as a prisoner of war among the Dominion. Upon his return he took up a job as a Physics teacher at a local school and much of what he taught there rubbed off on Tasha at home, leading to, among other incidents, Tasha burning down half their house trying to take apart their food replicator to see how it worked. Later that year on Stardate 237609.17 her parents had a second child, a boy they named Nicholas. Tasha loved her brother and despite the difference in their ages they were very close growing up. When Tasha was 11 her school held a science and technology fair. Tasha entered the competition with a scale model of the famous USS Enterprise-A, complete with working engines, allowing her to fly it with a remote control, and working phaser banks, low powered as to not accidentally hurt someone. She won the competition. At school from this point Tasha began to take subjects that allowed her to hone her budding engineering skills. Upon leaving school at 18 she moved to Mars and joined her aunt and uncle working at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards as an assistant engineer. She worked there for a year and a half before her uncle urged her to join Starfleet as he believed she was wasting her talents. She applied to the academy and was accepted very quickly. At the academy she majored in Engineering and decided to minor in Helm and Navigation. Tasha aced all her Engineering courses and did well in her other courses. On Stardate 239311.22 she completed her training cruise and was assigned to the USS Gorkon.
