The native language of Lolagi IV is Federation Standard, though there are numerous "loan words" from the languages of the original settlers interspersed in native dialogue.

Joan is self-assured to the point of (occasionally) being cocky. That being said, she is actually hesitant to put herself forward among strangers, though if required to do so, she won't be hesitant about giving her opinion. For the most part, Joan is an optimistic young woman, confident in those areas she considers part of her bailiwick. She won't (or tries not to) represent herself as knowledgeable in areas she feels she has no training or education in. | Joan is self-assured to the point of (occasionally) being cocky.

For the most part, Joan is an optimistic young woman, confident in those areas she considers part of her bailiwick. She won't (or tries not to) represent herself as knowledgeable in areas she feels she has no training or education in. This confidence and optimism, however, has recently been tempered in a situation where she felt her "psychic nullness" was actually a hindrance in her ability to perform her duties. | ||

The exercise programs she has to duplicate sports from her home world, such as surfing or mountain biking, are deliberately made incomplete (holodeck competitors are made to look like wire framed figures, etc.). This is due in part to having been mistaken for a holographic figure, and also due to an embarrassing situation where she walked into a fellow cadet's holodeck program where a holographic representation of Joan was the central figure of the holodeck adventure. | * Joan has an aversion to realistic holodeck novels.
