-* '''Quarters''': Regimental organisation (or Regi-mental, as her former room-mate calls it). She has few decorative possessions, and is obsessive-compulsive about the position and order in which those few are kept. This is at odds with her general demeanour, and is often a source of amusement for people who get to know her.

She has few decorative possessions, and is obsessive-compulsive about the position and order in which those few are kept. This is at odds with her generally lackadaisical demeanour off-duty, and is often a source of amusement for people who get to know her.
-* '''Favorite Room''': Anywhere that features a lively atmosphere, lots of people and - under ideal circumstances - alcohol. The hustle and bustle of cantinas, bars and crowded markets make her feel at ease.
+* '''Favorite Room''': Anywhere that features a lively atmosphere with lots of people. The hustle and bustle of cantinas, bars and crowded markets make her feel at ease. She doesn't enjoy socialising all that much, but gets anxious when alone for extended periods. As with most aspects of Nessa's personality, she is paradoxically most comfortable when alone in a crowded room.
-* '''Habits''':
+* '''Mannerisms''': Nessa rarely laughs aloud, instead she'll normally just grin widely, and wink at the person she finds funny. This is not because she has no sense of humour, but to Nessa the grin is a form of communication in and of itself, and she has a variety for different circumstances.

This is not necessarily because she has no sense of humour, but to Nessa the grin is a form of communication in and of itself, and she has a variety for different circumstances.
 * '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''': None as yet. Nessa's mind is not necessarily closed to this kind of thinking, but she needs something tactile and physical to believe in. She refuses to believe in spiritual, incorporeal beings that she cannot prove exist, and finds people who do foolish but is never one to bring the subject up.
-* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Her favourite is the ancient Earth bar game of darts. She's quite proficient. Nessa enjoys a variety of sports and fitness activities.
+* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Her favourite is the ancient Earth bar game of darts, at which she's quite proficient. Nessa enjoys a variety of sports and fitness activities and is generally considered an active, "sporty" person, though she prefers individual competition (or at least sports that rely on individual skill, such as darts, pool and wrestling, even if they are played as part of a team) to team competition. While she has no ambitions to be the 'best' at any given sport or task, Nessa hates losing and is extremely hard on herself when it happens (though is outwardly a sporting opponent and rarely comes across as a 'sore loser').
 * '''Likes''': Freedom of expression, movement and thought (she admires Betazoids and other telepathic species, for the extra dimension they have in which to do this). Fighting (under organised, sanctioned conditions. She's unlikely to start a random brawl in a bar (but unfortunately very likely to get stuck in if one occurs)).
-* '''Dislikes''': Restriction (of movement, thought or expression), confinement. Judgemental people.
+* '''Dislikes''': Restriction (of movement, thought or expression), confinement, judgemental people, overly 'goody-goody' or annoyingly helpful people, especially when on duty, mess or chaos where there isn't supposed to be mess or chaos (Nessa certainly believes there is a place for chaos, such as a tavern, but that place is definitely not her quarters, office or the bridge of a starship).
 * '''Ambitions and Goals''': To make every day better than the one before it, and to end each day distanced further from her past.
 * '''Achievements in Life''': Surviving her teenage years, joining Starfleet Academy (she almost considers this more of an achievement than graduating), graduating from Starfleet Academy.
 * '''Disappointments in Life''': Basically her entire childhood.
 * '''Temperament''': Might seem dour and angsty to some on the outside, but she's learning to be more optimistic and positive. Not especially quick to anger (thanks largely to her time at the Academy), but she's known to lash out venomously if you manage it.
-* '''Mental problems (complexes and phobias)''': Mild OCD related to personal possessions, mild paranoia concerning her worth and place in the universe. Has a complex pertaining to relationships (she's working on it when it comes to friendships, but it's easier to get close to a prisoner in isolation than to Nessa on a romantic level). Has a form of synaesthesia due to past drug-related experiments in her youth, usually only 'kicking in' whilst daydreaming or asleep. See below for details.

-* '''Physical Limitations''': Nothing abnormal for a female Terran of her stature.
+* '''Physical Ability''': Slightly more agile, sure-footed and athletic than your average Terran female of her age as a result of her childhood 'upbringing' which generally revolved around stealing things and running away from trouble.
