* '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Her favourite is the old 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 competitions where individual skill is less important (such as netball or soccer). 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'). | * '''Hobbies and Pastimes''': Her favourite is the old Earth bar game of darts, at which she's quite proficient.

* '''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); science (she finds new discoveries 'cool' and interesting, but is in no way academically interested in studying them); she's possibly one of the few officers to prefer replicated meals (she likes the practicality of the replicator vs. the unnecessary mess of home made (even if she's not the one making it) - whether she prefers the actual taste of the food is another matter); fighting, under organised, sanctioned conditions - she's unlikely to start a random brawl in a bar without good reason (but unfortunately very likely to get stuck in if one occurs). | * '''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); science (she finds new discoveries 'cool' and interesting, but is in no way academically interested in studying them); she's possibly one of the few officers to prefer replicated meals (she likes the practicality of the replicator vs. the unnecessary mess of home made (even if she's not the one making it) - whether she prefers the actual taste of the food is another matter); fighting, under organised, sanctioned conditions - she's unlikely to start a random brawl in a bar without good reason (but unfortunately very likely to get stuck in if one occurs). | ||
* '''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). | * '''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); "Bloody Romulans" - she is entirely distrusting of, and prejudiced against, any Romulan. | ||
* '''Ambitions and Goals''': To make every day better than the one before it, and to end each day distanced further from her past. She has no particular career ambitions, but views Starfleet as like a big family which has adopted her and almost certainly saved her life; she cannot imagine leaving. | * '''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. | * '''Achievements in Life''': Surviving her teenage years, joining Starfleet Academy (she almost considers this more of an achievement than graduating), graduating from Starfleet Academy. | ||

Nessa was born in London, Earth. She was an unhappy child, despite her parents' best efforts, and was constantly causing trouble. In her teenage years, running away from home became a game. To begin with she had self-justified reasons for doing so, but after a while it became a case of seeing how long she could go without being forced to go back. Eventually, aged 15, she left for good, and lived rough on the streets for a number of years and became involved in the seedy underworld of London, joining one of the criminal gangs that the Federation would rather you didn't know existed. | Nessa was born in London, Earth.
