Ravenna Carter: Difference between revisions

'''Ensign Ravenna Carter''' is currently serving as a '''Medical Officer''' aboard the {{USS|Constitution-B}}. She specializes in Anthropology/ Archaeology and has a background in Medicine and Psychology.  

* '''Height''': 5’6”

* '''Personality''': As a child, Ravenna struggled with anger issues that stemmed from her father's death, her mother abandoning her, and not fitting in as a child. This lead to several suspensions due to violent outbursts. It was a struggle for much of her youth. As an adult, Ravenna comes across as an outgoing individual who works well in a team. She does struggle with anxiety, however, it only gets really bad when she feels something is wrong; in which she is always right. She struggles with her feelings in romantic relationships based on the example set by her mother which led to her father's passing. She makes friends fairly easy, however, there are only a few that she feels secure confiding in. She cares very deeply about her friends and she would work non-stop if it meant helping them. She is notorious for her 21st-century pop culture references and her absolute love for physical books.   

* '''Hobbies''': Her hobbies include reading from real books rather than her PADD and continuing her education as advancements occur. She has a special interest in Forensic Anthropology that is separate from her area of expertise. Her MD paired with Anthropology allows her to understand the area extensively, but it is not a part of her common practice so she considers it a hobby.  

* '''Father''': [[Daniel Carter]] (deceased) - Daniel was a medical doctor at a local emergency and trauma center in Brooklyn. He attended Emory University in Georgia for both pre-medical and medical school. He had a rough marriage to Elizabeth Quinlan, which ended in divorce. He was kicked out of the house after learning about her affair. From there, he joined Starfleet as a civilian doctor in an attempt to help the war effort. He moved to Betazed where he was on the front lines while fighting for custody of Ravenna. He was killed in an act that was classified as a war crime before he won the custody battle. When Ravenna was little, he taught her the importance of learning, and even though she was very young, he enjoyed reading medical texts with her. Her love for learning helped her graduate from high school early and got her accepted to Emory as well, where she followed in Daniel’s footsteps. The love for learning he instilled in her saved her life in so many ways; it was one of the things that has always kept them tethered together. Daniel was survived by Elizabeth Quinlan (ex-wife), Ravenna Carter (daughter), Samantha Carter (younger sister), and Jonathan Carter (older brother).  

'''[[Brommel Fortune]]''': Brommel is Corliss' older brother and Ravenna's Fiance. They maintain a strong long-distance relationship that would be considered open, though Ravenna herself doesn't partake in any outside physical relations. He is a Ranger with Starfleet that takes him to nondisclosed parts of space and he often doesn't have the ability to visit. Notably, Brommel left a picture of the two of them at Corliss' Ball dancing as a bookmark in Ravenna's poetry journal marking a poem about being madly in love with the person you are with. He is currently visiting on the Constitution during their mutual shore leave.  

Ravenna was born and raised in New York City, New York, Earth. She is the only child of Daniel Carter and Elizabeth Quinlan. Daniel, for the first few years of Ravenna life, worked at the local hospital in the Emergency and Trauma Center; however when Ravenna was five, he was forced to take a position as a Civilian Doctor with Starfleet for reasons unknown to her. Elizabeth is a semi-well-known Archaeologist with a specialty in metallurgy; she often was out of the home by design as she did not like her home life. This lead Ravenna and Daniel to have a very strong bond that made is death, coupled with the physical abuse and neglect from her mother, particularly hard.  

Ravenna and K'Vash discussed the artifact that her mother had been sent to help with and they put together a plan to identify the artifact. After Dr. Foster left to lead the medical relief team, Ravenna was tasked with prepping the sickbay for incoming injured by Dr. Ed Spears. To Be Continued.
