Standing 5'7", Eileen's height and weight balance well at 146lbs. Her hair is a rich copper bob cut just above the shoulders and seems to fall into place naturally, even after running a hand through the thickly-bodied mane. Pellucid eyes of an almost navy blue look out attentively from under brows moderately and gently tapered into soft curves and seem to move before her head does, usually. Her skin is of a medium fair complexion with a light, rosy tint when the temperature drops. While not excessively athletic, she keeps toned and fit with general exercise and her forms. Her face, open and animated, usually wears a content subtle smile on full, rounded lips. Arms and legs, both strong and lithe, carry more work and exercise than they show. Her stance is usually one of an assured and relaxed calm. This is complimented by the alto of her voice, one that resonates lightly but still carries "above the din" one experiences in a busy engineering deck. When not on duty, she is most often wearing a comfortable sundress or jeans and tanks. Like many humans over the millennia, she's right handed but has trained herself to work comfortably with tools in either hand. | <FONT COLOR="#FF9C00">Standing 5'7", Eileen's height and weight balance well at 146lbs.

Unknown to most, she has an identifying birthmark in the form of one ruddy oval (10cm x 5cm) at the base of her neck. She also bears a slight discoloration from regenerated scar tissue along the right side of her torso and right leg. | Unknown to most, she has an identifying birthmark in the form of one ruddy oval (10cm x 5cm) at the base of her neck.

While never quite gregarious or adventuresome, Eileen's "matter-of-fact" nature was born from the example her mother set for her. A strong woman, able and intellectual with a clear view of what she wanted from and for her life; these are some of the examples Eileen grew to know and celebrate within herself. If she has a conviction, she's unlikely to waver. Given the choice of convenient or difficult, she doesn't shy from either but has always gotten her work ethic from her father. Dedication to a goal being a central hallmark of his impact on her life. The drive to not only achieve but to snoop about, responsibly, out past the edge of what her achievement has allowed her to learn. | <FONT COLOR="#FF9C00">While never quite gregarious or adventuresome, Eileen's "matter-of-fact" nature was born from the example her mother set for her.

That would be another hallmark of her father one finds in his daughter. Responsibility. An underpinning vein of the appreciation and expectation of personal responsibility. She carries this to the extent that she finds herself somewhat abnormally conscious of the implications of what one seeks to learn or do. When experimenting, or simply seeking to unravel a mystery the universe has laid in her lap, she always has a select and haunting quotation from the Bhagavad Gita that came to haunt J. Robert Oppenheimer after having witnessed the Trinity test. "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Technology and science for it's own sake or even for the laudable goal of preserving or uplifting mankind must '''never''' be approached with pridefulness or casual disconcern , in her mind; putting her in the sometimes surreal position of arguing against the research, development, or application of any sufficiently impacting technology for fear of falling into the folly of scientists thinking they could control how others would use their research. That scientists and ''especially'' engineers have to remember their moral responsibility in any technologically advanced society. To do otherwise, in her judgement,is to risk ignoring lessons humanity has learned with names like Mengela, Pavlov, Radium Girls, The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Daystrom, Soran and far too many others. | That would be another hallmark of her father one finds in his daughter.

She's leaned on her family to adjust, her mother more than her father. Their relationship began to fall apart as soon as she joined Starfleet. | She's leaned on her family to adjust, her mother more than her father. Their relationship began to fall apart as soon as she joined Starfleet. | ||
Overcoming all of this is something she's more desperate to do than anything she'll admit to most anyone. Almost anyone. Eileen needs to connect with others. Time will tell how well and with whom she'll be able to do so with. | Overcoming all of this is something she's more desperate to do than anything she'll admit to most anyone. Almost anyone.
