Charlotte Farnsworth: Difference between revisions

Nevertheless, things had stirred in her from her infancy. Emotional issues of abandonment had always haunted her, though she had never actually known the reason why. She was always restless, and bored with her lifestyle, always instinctively feeling that something unknown was missing from her life. At the age of eleven she turned to a life of crime, picking pockets, developing sociopath behavior and learning to lie. Neither her parents or psychologists ever knew why such impulses were inside her; having no apparent causes in her upbringing.

In November of 2378 Charlotte met (then) Crewman Nate Wilmer at Jupiter Station. She was picking the pockets of aliens and delegates as they came of the transports in the docking area. Nate spotted her immediately, and rather than take her to the Chief of Security, saw intelligence in the girl. He succeeded in convincing her parents in allowing her to join a Starfleet Academy preparatory program. For the next four years, both he and Master Chief Dick Sullivan served as her primary educators for Starfleet rules and regulations.

In 2383, Charlie visited planet Ares III with Nate. She was to take her Starfleet Entrance Exams at the local outpost. However, she ultimately failed her xeno-botany entrance exam due to lack of confidence. Starfleet Academy entrance and admissions personnel also identified several personality flaws in her, including dishonesty, manipulative techniques and lack of moral compass. When Starfleet did not pan out of her, she eventually moved away from Earth, to Jupiter Station, where she got involved with Ferengi, who promised her a job as the new poster girl for the Grenthemen Water Hopper account. For a time their promises of modeling were actually made true. But eventually, like all things Ferengi, her contract ran out, and she had to resort to life as a dabo girl at the Cosmic Cafe on Jupiter Station, to earn income.

Eventually, Charlotte got tired of being pinched, grabbed and prodded by drunk bar partons and took a job a second class engineers mate onboard a Cardassian freighter known as the "Razbu." At one point, at an unknown date (roughly after 2383 but before 2391) Nate and Charlie began dating and spent a vacation together in Switzerland on Earth. There Charlotte was about to propose to Nate. However, that was not to be. Nate announced to her that he was returning to Starfleet Academy Command School, leaving the enlisted branch intending to become an officer. For years while Nate retrained and pursued his officers rank, Charlie drifted.

Upon hearing of Nate's graduation and posting the USS Excalibur-A, Charlotte traveled to his ship. After forging marriage document and lying to the Captain of that vessel telling her that she was in fact Nate's wife, Charlie opened a bar aboard ship. When Nate learned about this, he used the opportunity of transfer to switch vessels to the USS Apollo-A. However, Charlie simply moved with him. This time, gaining permission from Admiral Jaxx, to open up Club Olympus. Vessel after vessel, transfer after transfer, Charlie would follow Nate. She would eventually land a job as a school teach on the USS Constitution-B, where Nate was once posted as First Officer.

Aboard the Constitution, fate soon dealt its hand, as it was scientifically revealed, through medical examination, and a chance encounter with Necessity James, that Charlie and Nessa were both the same person. After intense medical scans, and invasive tests run at Starfleet Intelligence on Earth, it was revealed to everyone that Charlie did not belong in the Prime Universe. However, Starfleet seeing that she wished to cooperate, granted her amnesty and asylum from her mirror universe home, in exchange for an 8 month cooperative study of her physiology and mental capacities. Nessa agreed in exchange for the reinstatement of her officers rank. Nate on the other hand took an 8 month LOA as First Officer, to serve as emotional support for both his friend and former lover. Charlie watched in horror, however, as she sunk further and further into depression, due to her scientific quarantine, and Nate and Nessa grew closer together.

In Charlotte's mind, Necessity James was the pure version and she was the corrupted imitation. But before long, none of that mattered anymore. The tests were over, and everyone was free to go.

However, Nate's career eventually took him to the Delta Quadrant. This time, Charlie did not follow. She wandered the universe in Nate's old Peregrine class shuttle. Wandering aimlessly from port to port, having no home, and no purpose.

Before long however, Charlotte found her way to the USS Blackwell, which was Nate's most current posting. There, after a rekindling of their romance, Nate and Charlotte got engaged, and planned to be married on October 31st, 2394. After helping the crew of the Blackwell with some engineering disasters, Charlie's interest in rejoining Starfleet Academy returned. She speculated that should she return, she would pursue a career as an engineer.
