==Manor==
==Physiology==
* '''Quarters''': Decorations, pictures, etc.
* '''Birth Gravity''': 0.83 G
* '''Favorite Room''':  
* '''Body Composition''': High concentrations of salts and minerals, even for her race.
* '''Mannerisms''':  
* '''Unique Physical Characteristics''': Nictitating membrane is clearer than usual, providing no impediment to her vision when closed.
* '''Physical Limitations''':  
* '''Senses''': Average for her race (compared to terran: weaker eyes, better ears, others normal).
* '''Temperment''':  
* '''Physical Limitations''': Unable to perform heavy manual labor (running included) for prolonged periods of time in 1 G. She must follow a strict workout regimen to maintain her strength, but her respiratory system just cannot cope with the strain. In environments equal to or less than her native gravity, she is far more agile, with a seemingly innate grace for microgravity.
* '''Habits''':  
* '''Allergies''':  
* '''Religion/Spiritual Devotion''':  
-- Certain forcefields, such as the annular confinement beam of most [[Transporters]] and most oxygen-permeable barriers (such as those on shuttlebay entrances or in quarantine labs).
-- 'Fresh' water. Too much of it can throw off her osmotic balance, making her sick.
-- Artificial gravity gives her a headache. For the most part, it is a dull ache that she is used to, but damaged or mis-calibrated gravity generators can worsen it. The same applies to starship shields, tractor beams, and other gravity-based technologies.
* '''Resistances''': Unusually high tolerance for radiation.




==Personality==
==Personality==
Introductory information about personality. This section should be the "writer's" assesment of the character's personality. There is also a section for StarFleet Personality Profile below.
Kalpana is a very average person. That is, while she is very capable in many areas, she is by no means the very best (or even one of the best) in any of them. This feeling of mediocrity pervades her view of the world and she can be very tenacious in regards to anything that she considers to be 'her' area of expertise. For example, she has above average skill in piloting a solar sail vessel. If given a position of piloting such a craft, she would work very hard to keep somebody else from usurping her position, especially if she knew the person was less skilled than she.
 
In social situations, she tends to be friendly, but she avoids getting too close with others. In her mind, she has enough physiological issues to contend with, so she does not need to add personal relationships into the mix.
 
===Habits===
 
===Taboos===
Kalpana shares the majority of her culture's views, especially those regarding personal property. In her mind, there is a very clear line between Personal and Communal property, and never the twain shall meet. Things that she owns (such as personal effects, a change of clothes, etc.) are ''hers'' and never to be used without her permission. On the other hand, communal items (such as most replicated items, starships, shuttles, etc.) are meant to be used by the entire community; share and share alike. In her limited-resource culture, stealing - from either an individual or from the community - is one of the worst non-fatal crimes that could be committed.
 
While Kalpana can intellectually understand the occasional necessity to steal something that does not belong to you, it is extremely distasteful to her. She tries hard to understand the terran viewpoint, but they seem, to her, as if they do not care about such things, just smashing and stealing to suit their own needs. This kind of attitude and the mindless property damage inflicted by any number of Starfleet vessels appalls her at times. She's not about to give up her commission, but she did have a bit of a reputation in the Academy for submitting a fairly large number of formal protests concerning actions she was ordered to undertake.
 
In terms of her professional career, Kalpana is enthusiastic and inquisitive. Rarely does a new finding come out that she does not double-check and try to pick apart, looking for where the researcher might have made any sort of mistake. One misgiving that she has, however, is that her choice of speciality (astrometry) plays into what she views to be a stereotype: "Iridians can feel stars, so of course they like astrosciences!" The stereotype is largely within her own mind, but even so, she tries to work against it and prove that she is an astrometer because she loves stars, nor just because her race is more sensitive to gravity.
 
===Phobias===
Kalpana is terrified of holodecks. There is no logical, rational basis for this fear that Federation psychologists have been able to unearth, yet it exists all the same. She has a prescription for a concoction of anti-phobic drugs to fight the symptoms and she uses it whenever she has to enter a holodeck, but every sojourn into those grid-walled rooms is a harrowing ordeal for her.
 
===Religion / Spiritual Devotion===
Like most of her people, Kalpana participates in a form of ancestor worship, particularly on special holidays and during stressful parts of her life. This devotion is largely private, however, and falls into the category of 'personal property'.
