Joan's four brothers, all of whom are more than two meters tall, play for the Bayasur Total, an Epa'ani club, where they are known collectively as the Four Horsemen. Epa'ani is a sport descended from Australian rules football, though it is more strenuous and hazardous on its players than the sport it is derived from.
Background
Lolagi IV
Joan was born and raised on Lolagi IV, one of the earliest human colonies, predating the founding of the Federation. Thanks to its three moons, which limits the planetary tilt, along with a near perfect circular orbit in the optimal zone around a yellow dwarf sun, Lolagi IV enjoys mild seasons, with a climate reminiscent of Earth's Oceania. Lolagi IV has similar water coverage as Earth, though its land masses are smaller, as are its polar caps.
Despite her English name, Joan's physical features are similar to those of the original settlers of Lolagi IV, who were mostly from islands in Earth's Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Besides its human colonists, Lolagi IV also hosts a dolphin population, who migrated to the planet along with the original human colonists. There is also a sizable community of Haliians, who migrated to the planet approximately a hundred years ago. Numerous intermarriages have occurred between the Human and Haliian communities, including Joan's parents.
Medical
Joan suffers from Pomare syndrome, a rare genetic condition occurring among the female children of a Human and Haliian bonding, where the father is human and the mother is Haliian. Individuals with Pomare syndrome display the following characteristics:
- Diminished height
- Smooth forehead (most children of Human-Haliian bondings display the forehead ridges of their Haliian parent)
- Inability to mentally connect with other telepaths
Joan was once mistaken for a holographic figure by a Betazoid classmate during a holodeck exercise. Joan's family take extra care to insure Joan does not feel isolated from the rest of the family due to her condition.
Personality
