Quarters

As a recently graduated Ensign, Isabel shares her quarters on the USS Darwin with another crew member. The two get along, but nothing more.

Hobbies and Pastimes

One of the very first hobbies Isabel picked up was dancing, a passion she invested a lot of time in. However, she had to step down when entering Starfleet Academy. There she took part in the extra-curricular theatre course. The only hobby that prevailed through the demanding final year of medical school was her fondness for good books, both fiction and non-fiction.

Likes

Isabel enjoys the classic literature of the late 22nd century, especially drama. She likes to picture herself in the leading roles of these plays, which generally are greatly influenced by the new founded Federation.

Dislikes

There is nothing more obnoxious to Isabel than the de-facto mandatory shooting practice with phasers. She sincerely hopes to never being forced to use this weapon.

Another thing would be the study of languages: In a time of universal translators, Isabel was capable of seeing sense in every Academy subject except the languages.

Ambitions and Goals

Isabel is very keen on the medical oath and expects from herself to always live up to it’s highest standards. Besides that, she plans to do good work, gaining „naturally“ more responsibilities. Privately, she dreams of a family of her own, but only with the right guy and at the right place.

Family

---

• Parents: Raffa Pond (Civil Engineer), Kylani Pond (Lawyer)
• Siblings: Younger brother, currently studying in a program of the Symbiosis Commission
• Spouse: No time for that so far

Background - Road to Ensign

Early Life

Isabel Pond’s parents met and lived on earth, even though both of them were Trill and neither of them was a member of Starfleet. They decided to move back to Trillius when the birth of their first daughter was imminent. Isabel was raised solely on the Trill homeworld, the only remnant of her parent’s connection with Earth is her given name.

Pre-Academy

Isabel’s parents had high hopes for their daughter. They tried to persuade her to apply for being joined with a symbiont, but Isabel had other plans. From very early on she dreamed of becoming a member of Starfleet to explore the galaxy. The parents quickly accepted the decision, especially after her younger brother proved to be a promising candidate for the joining procedure. She first thought about a career in the command section, but she quickly agreed with most of her friends, who all had no connection to Starfleet, to go for a „real“ job. In a last minute decision, she enrolled at the Division of Arts and Science.

Undergraduate Course

Detailed course list and results: Academy Transcript - Undergraduate Studies

It was not easy to decide for a specialisation. It was a professor in the mandatory „General Xenology“ course who convinced her, that xenobiology could be something for her. After some reading, Isabel planed her further studies according to this focus, already considering continuing with the medical school.

Taking every opportunity to learn something, Isabel filled every possible slot with courses. This panned out more stressful than she would have liked. She couldn’t just let not that important courses slide, which probably resulted in a lower overall grade in the core subjects.

Isabel took a few more uncommon elective courses to broaden her experience. Being interested in arts, she took pop culture at the history faculty and „Application of Creative Design in Holodecks“ from the engineering course catalogue. However, specially the later one was a disappointment, since it focused more on the technical than the creative aspects.

Medical School

Detailed course list and results: Academy Transcript - Medical School

Directly after graduating from the undergraduate program, Isabel continued her studies at the Starfleet Medical Academy. Having already completed many of the required xenobiology courses, and her having already 60 credit points, she was allowed to complete the required courses during the first three semesters and continue with the clinical rotation the following two years. Therefore, she could complete the required internship in her forth year directly at the Academy, resulting in a complete MD at graduation day, followed directly with her first assignment.

Her academy days were as instructive as uneventful. She was a welcome guest at the various events on the campus, but her visits became rarer during the later years. Isabel had to study extensively, but since she grew more and more interested in the subject, this was no downfall for her. She is particularly interested in alien physiology and non-humanoid intelligent life forms. Eventually, she graduated from the theoretical exams with a solid grade, but without any special accolades.
