Vital Statistics
Name: Faryul Nishal
Rank: Ensign
Position: Nurse
Assignment: USS Independence-A Medical Department
Species: Bajoran
Gender: Female
Age: Late 20s
Place of birth: Ilvia, Bajor
Tone/Voice: Casual and often playful. She usually prefers using the term "doc" instead of "doctor" if not addressing physicians by their first name in the same way she does with the rest of the medical staff. The notable exception is her mentor Nurse Mitul Shah, whom she always refers to with his title or "sir" in her speech and simply "Shah" in her mind.
Backstory
Faryul Nishal is a nurse aboard the USS Independence-A. Faryul (her given name is Nishal and said after her family name per Bajoran custom) is a member of the medical staff in her late 20s. Unlike most Bajorans, Faryul is neither religious nor particularly spiritual (in fact, she is an atheist), which would surprise her father, the Vedek of Ilvia. Though she does not hide her unorthodox views from most people, she still wears the traditional Bajoran earring bearing her family's symbol as a mark of her love for them.
It is her sense of respect for the precious and temporary nature of life rather than religion that has led her to a life in healing. She has learned much from working with Mitul Shah, and although he comes across as stern compared to her bedside manner, she still enjoys when the two are assigned to the same shift.
The same cannot be said of her relationship with Tori Parker, a nurse's assistant. In 2387, Parker violated patient privacy protocols and helped Chrissy Bennett, a medical technician, gain access to Captain Sidney Riley's medical records. Once Faryul discovered the transgression, she informed Doctor Zhou. During the confrontation, Faryul and Parker exchanged hostile words, with the latter woman feeling particularly resentful about the perceived favorable attention being given to Faryul by the chief medical officer.
