Didrik's personality is highly influenced by the culture in which he was raised.  While Earth is the Federation capital and one of its most cosmopolitan worlds, there are areas where day-to-day life has changed little over the centuries.  Northern Norway, where the Stennes family calls home, is one of those areas.  Despite his knowing better, Didrik still carries with him a somewhat parochial and narrow view of the universe, and tends to view things from an Earth-centric perspective.  Joining Starfleet and serving with members of other species has opened his mind significantly, and has done much to challenge his outmoded thinking in many ways.  Didrik is at times taciturn and contemplative, and at others lively and jocular, mainly depending on the level of familiarity he has with his present company.

* '''Temperament:'''  Didrik adheres strongly to the old maxim, "Say what you mean and mean what you say," and often listens far more than he speaks.  He is even tempered and rarely raises his voice in anger or upset, leading him to occasionally be mistaken for aloof or distant.  On the contrary, he feels things deeply, something that leads to inner conflict in his role as a counselor, as he occasionally struggles to maintain a professional detachment.  Didrik uses humor (or at least what he thinks is humor) to relate to people, and copes with difficulties by not taking himself too seriously.  He values politeness, and often says "vær så snill" ("please") and "takk" ("thanks") when giving orders.
==Manner==
* '''Quarters:'''  Didrik's quarters are located in the drive section of the USS ''Darwin''-A on Deck Eight.  The apartment is approximately 45m² in area and has a open, single-room layout.  A combined living and working area occupies the majority of the space, with a sofa, a table and chairs, storage shelves, a food replicator, and a workstation equipped with an LCARS computer terminal.  A vidscreen is mounted into the aft bulkhead for video communications and entertainment viewing.  Against the forward bulkhead is a sleeping alcove with a single berth, and a private bathroom with a toilet, sink, and sonic shower.  The windows along the starboard side provide a spectacular view of space.  While he doesn't have much in the way of memento, mounted on the walls in his quarters The Daystrom Award in Biosciences and the J. Bruce Bioengineering Award, given to him by Aron Kells.

==Personal history==
: ''See [[Stennes, Didrik/Biography|Biography of Didrik Stennes]].''
Born in Norway in 2360, Didrik Stennes is the fourth of six children.  Showing interests in writing and the outdoors as a child, he developed a desire to join Starfleet as a teenager, during the Dominion War.  Upon completing secondary school in 2378, Stennes unsuccessfully applied to Starfleet Academy and enrolled at the University of Bergen instead.  Upon completing undergraduate study in the field of military history in 2382, he reapplied to Starfleet Academy, and was this time successful.
==Professional history==
: ''See [[Didrik Stennes/Academy Transcript|Starfleet Academy transcript of Didrik Stennes]] and [[Didrik Stennes/Awards and Commendations|Awards and commendations received by Didrik Stennes]].''
==Personal relationships==
===Psychological Profile===
Didrik dislikes crowds and raised voices, and avoids them whenever possible.  He is an outdoorsman and an explorer, an able hiker and mountaineer.  Didrik is fond of wordplay and sarcasm, and will take whatever opportunities he can to make a good-natured quip.  While fluent in Federation Standard English, he often configures his combadge to transmit simultaneous translation into Norwegian, mostly because he finds it amusing how the computer so frequently gets it wrong.


Didrik is his harshest critic, and has trouble accepting compliments or taking credit for things he succeeds at.  While he shrugs it off as Nordic modesty, he secretly is driven by a desire to fit in and be liked.  An average tactician, Didrik has embraced his natural aptitude for Ops and Helm, and is looking for opportunities to grow in that area, rather than sit by and wait for a tactical post to open.  When on duty, he prefers to operate the helm manually rather than allow the NavComp to fly the ship.  To that end, he has devised a number of unique console layouts that allow him to pilot the ship while monitoring other departments in the absence of an Ops officer on duty.

: ''See also: [[Stennes, Didrik/Biography|Biography of Didrik Stennes]].''


Physically, Didrik is bulkier than the average human.  He is self-conscious about his forehead, which he thinks is too large.  Born with a healthy Norwegian appetite, he has never met a food replicator that he didn't like, and he must make himself exercise regularly to avoid putting on too much weight.

===Familial===
<br>{{LCARS-bar-heading|Languages|110|COLOR=teal}}
* '''Harald Stennes''' (Father)
Didrik's native language is Norwegian, and was educated solely in Norwegian Bokmål until age 14, and both Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk up through his university studies.  As a secondary and university student he learned English and French, and had a basic understanding of Bajoran as a result of his travels to Bajor with his mother.  His lack of non-Terran languages, and his limited mastery of Federation Standard put him at a disadvantage when compared with his Starfleet Academy peers.  While on duty, Didrik usually speaks English or Federation Standard, as the universal translator has a somewhat imprecise translation matrix for Norwegian.

==Quotations==
{{Darwin-A}}
'''STENNES:''' That's all any of us can do, I guess. To believe. To choose. They're not really that different from each other, are they?
<hr>
''(Shortly after being excreted into space by a giant cosmozoic lifeform, the bridge crew watches as the brand-new Ensign Wanda DyAmone executes a daring shuttlecraft rescue of two lost officers.)''<br>'''DANZIA:'''  And once this is over, I'm having words with whoever did that.<br>'''STENNES:'''  Me too.  Where was the daring shuttlecraft rescue option back when I was floating through space inside a piece of poo?
<hr>
''(''Columbia'', at risk of losing two away teams on a planet inhabited by a mysterious telepathic creature.  Didrik, a victim of telepathic torture, has had enough of the attempts to communicate with it.)''<br>'''STENNES:''' Forgive me if I sound like an ignorant Terran, but while we stand here discussing who whispered what into the mind of whom else, we have nearly a dozen people on that planet who are counting on us to bring them back.  Now the deflector is calibrated and ready to transmit, so I suggest we get on with reestablishing real, '''''verbal''''' contact with our people.  Unless you all would rather we just stand around here and bend some spoons.
