Personality

Enith is bookish but adventurous. As a precocious child, she experienced a broad variety of adventures in deep space. As an adult, she spent years tucked away on Earth, hiding from the excitement and danger of life in space. Now, with a renewed spirit and energy, she seeks to find new frontiers of adventure and reclaim the life that was once hers.

  • Temperament: Enith is bold in her approach to space travel, but tragic events caused her to be shy of it for many years. While she seeks to be the daring adventurer her parents raised her to be, she is sometimes cautious of danger and wary of risk.
  • Professionalism: As a doctor, Enith seeks to emulate her father’s compassion and strength in practicing the medical arts. She will not back down from a threat, and will always fight with all her ability to protect those in need.
  • Telepathy: Because of her Betazoid ancestry, Enith is able to use limited telepathy. Due to her Human ancestry, one limit to her abilities is that she cannot use telepathy from a distance. Sometimes, she is not even able to muster any abilities even at close range, but usually she is able to make telepathic contact within a range of about 10 meters. On occasion, a particularly powerful telepath has been able to reach Enith’s mind from a greater distance, but this is rare. Typically, she does not use her abilities, and does not understand the complete openness and honesty of Betazoid society, not having been raised in that environment.
  • Taste in Clothing: As a girl in the 2350s and 60s, Enith wore every variety of jumpsuit, and wishes she still could. She is always in love with the fashions of her past, and as an adult, she favors simple, functional looks. She will dress for formal occasions, but fears being seen in anything resembling the gaudy, outrageous fashions popular in Betazoid high society.
  • Quarters: Most of the treasures of her early adventures were lost along with the Raleigh. Now, Enith keeps her quarters standard issue, though comfortably appointed, not spartan.
  • Habits: As a child, Enith was sure that most of the doors in Raleigh’s corridors led to nowhere. Now, she makes a habit of popping her head in where it doesn’t belong, in an effort to see every corner of the ship, especially those places that are seldom seen.
  • Hobbies and Pastimes: Enith enjoys reading novels, sampling alien cuisine, and trying new sports. She avoids holodecks, having been trapped in one too many malfunctioning programs aboard Raleigh.
  • Favorite Food: Something Spicy
  • Preferred Drink: Something Cold
  • Fears: A powerful interdimensional energy being called Lok-Etai who frequently plagued the USS Raleigh in the form of a giant head or hand floating in space. Several times in Enith’s youth, he preyed on her telepathic abilities. Once he possessed her father’s body. Later, he was responsible for her mother’s death and her father’s loss of sanity. Lok-Etai appears to have been killed in a final battle that ended almost twenty years ago, but Enith knows he was thought to have been killed several times before that, and fears the day when he will return again.
  • Ambitions and Goals: Enith’s goal for many years was to evade the dangerous life of a deep space explorer. After a career at Starfleet Medical on Earth, Enith wondered if she was serving Starfleet to the best of her ability. Her goals changed with time, and she seeks to be an effective officer and a strong healer in the dangerous areas of deep space.


Personal History

Enith Lahr grew up on a starship. Like many other children of officers aboard Starfleet’s vessels of deep space exploration, Enith was constantly exposed to new adventures, dangerous excitements, and fascinating encounters. Roaming the boundaries of known space, she was often caught up in the strange phenomenon and wacky shenanigans of her parents and their crewmates.

Enith’s mother, Commander Loretta Lahr, was First Officer of USS Raleigh, as well as its subsequent rebuilds, Raleigh-A and Raleigh-B. Enith’s father, Commander Grenn Bex-Lahr, was CMO of the USS Raleigh throughout all of its adventures. A cast of regular characters rounded out Enith’s childhood neighborhood aboard Raleigh, including brave Captain Ndengo, lovably inhuman Lt. Commander Ubai, and Efraim Halston, Enith’s childhood friend and eventual love interest/junior helmsman.

During its two seven-year missions, USS Raleigh was regularly plagued by an energy-based being named Lok-Etai who appeared as a giant face, or sometimes a hand, floating in space. After the launch of USS Raleigh-B, Lok-Etai went too far in his quest for transdimensional power, causing the destruction of the ship with many hands lost, including Enith’s mother. As part of Lok-Etai’s destructive game, Enith’s full Betazoid father’s telepathic ability was altered and pushed to its extreme limit, causing insanity and hospitalization in a Federation psychiatric facility following the destruction of the ship and the death of his wife.

Her fun childhood adventures having come to a disturbing end, Enith retreated to her mother’s childhood home on Earth, a humble planetary location the starfaring girl had always romanticized, called Pennsylvania. Enith applied to the Academy as she felt she was expected to do. Every other kid she ever knew who grew up on a starship was accepted into Starfleet, and so was she. She also pursued a career in medicine, following in her father’s footsteps and continuing the training she had begun as Raleigh’s Junior Sickbay Assistant.

After earning her medical degree and graduating Starfleet Academy, Enith declined several ship assignments. The consequences to her family of their dangerous, adventurous Starfleet life were too great, and Enith was afraid to go on living that life. Instead, she requested and was granted a job on Earth, and spent more than a decade hiding in the safe halls of Starfleet Medical.

At her five year review, it was finally noticed that Enith was still an ensign and had done little to achieve anything beyond her initial appointment and her quiet, out-of-the-way life. A mentor helped change Enith’s priorities, and she was encouraged to reach for the rank of lieutenant and work towards an active duty role. She discovered that she did have a yearning for the adventurous life of her childhood and youth, after all. With support of Starfleet mentors and peers who had come to know the hardy spirit her upbringing instilled in her, Enith’s request to transfer from her desk job to active duty on a ship was quickly accepted. For Enith, a new chapter of deep space exploration has begun.

Family

Enith’s direct relatives are few. She considered the crew of USS Raleigh to be her true family, and the few who remain are like aunts and uncles to her. With her mother gone and her father in a care facility, Enith’s nearest relatives include only her uncle and cousin on Betazed.

  • Parents
    • Grenn Bex-Lahr: Enith’s father, a Betazoid physician who served as CMO of USS Raleigh for 18 years. A powerful telepath and talented healer, he was known for his compassion toward all patients and his ferocity against threats to those under his care. Grenn Bex was a member of the Xth House of Betazed, and in a nod to his traditional Betazoid roots, took his wife’s last name, even though she was Terran. He taught his daughter about Betazoid culture, but moreso taught her what it meant to be a caring healer. In a final conflict with Lok-Etai, Dr. Bex-Lahr’s telepathic abilities were manipulated by the evil being, and he was driven to insanity. He is housed in a Starfleet care facility on Earth, treated by Starfleet’s best telepathic healers. After many years of treatment, his condition has never improved.
    • Loretta Lahr: Enith’s mother served as first officer of USS Raleigh for 18 years, following a distinguished career in deep space exploration that made her a top choice for the position upon USS Raleigh’s commissioning. A Terran, Commander Lahr’s ability to mix leadership with friendship made her popular with her crew. She was well-read, with a keen interest in history, but also a sharp eye on the future. She considered raising her daughter among the stars to be her greatest achievement. In a successful bid to save the lives of the majority of her crew, including her daughter and husband, Commander Lahr bravely piloted a runabout into Lok-Etai’s giant floating space head and breached the warp core, destroying the powerful being at the cost of her own life.
  • Siblings: None
  • Family on Betazed:
    • Borix Orai: Eniths uncle, her father’s only brother. They were sons of a powerful woman in Betazoid society who unfortunately was not able to have any daughters. While Grenn married a Terran woman for some reason, at least Borix was able to make a good marriage into a noble house. A widower, he devotes his life to making a good home for his daughter.
    • Nareen Avame Bex Orai, Daughter of the Xth House of Betazed, Defender of the Honored Nef of Rhee: Enith’s first cousin, a well-connected member of the elitist Betazoid house system. She continues to rise through the ranks of Betazoid society, determined to claw her way to the top. Nareen is constantly appalled at her cousin’s distaste for Betazoid pomp and ceremony. Rivals since childhood, Enith and Nareen have followed very different paths and grown into very different women.


Relationships


Roster-blank.jpg
Romance
Efraim Halston
Efraim was the son of USS Raleigh’s astrometrics officer. He and Enith were the same age and grew up together on the ship, often sharing strange adventures. At thirteen, they shared their first kiss in the holodeck, just as the program was shut down and Enith’s parents appeared next to them. The early romance, colored by that embarrassment, never took off. Efraim became Raleigh’s Junior Helmsman, but his Starfleet career didn’t last. After the destruction of USS Raleigh-B and the disbandment of the remaining crew, Efraim pursued a career as a pilot in the private sector. Though she thinks of him often, Enith only keeps in touch with Efraim infrequently.
