| Lieutenant Commander '''Skyleena Blake''', (regularly called "Sky" or quite simply "Blake"), a [[Brekkian]] [[Betazoid]] hybrid, is currently the Chief of Security and Second Officer aboard the [[USS Avandar]]. She is also mother to [[Blake, Faith|Faith Blake]], and takes small periods of time off work (essentially going "on call") to spend with her.
| | :''This page refers to Prime Blake. You may be looking for [[Sky Blake (hologram)]] or [[Sky Blake (alternate)]].'' |
| | Skyleena '''Blake''' is a half [[Brekkian]], half [[Betazoid]] serving as Vice Chief of the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]]. |
|
| |
|
| She was previously the Chief of Security at the [[Duronis II Embassy]], onboard the [[USS Mercury]], the [[USS Ronin]], and a Security officer on the [[USS Challenger-A]]. Her record is not the best, as it has many "bents and bruises", but she has put a considerable amount of effort into rectifying it. | | She previously served as a Starfleet officer aboard the {{USS|Challenger|A}}, {{USS|Ronin}}, {{USS|Mercury}}, {{USS|Avandar}}, {{USS|Vigilant}}, {{USS|Syracuse}}, and {{USS|Veritas}}, earning the rank of Commander. She retired from active service in mid-2398. |

| | [[File:SkyBlake4.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Blake in 2397.]] |
| | Blake is a humanoid of [[Brekkian]] and [[Betazoid]] descent, sharing emerald green eyes with her Brekkian father but lacks any notable Brekkian features. She is 5'10 and sports short blonde hair, just long enough to be tied back. She wears three rings on her right hand, denoting her marriage to [[Sabor]], placed on her thumb (a plain copper band), second (a plain gold band), and fourth (a stainless steel band with emerald gemstone) fingers, respectively. |
|
| |
|
| ===Personality===
| | Because she is part Brekkian, Blake's body temperature is higher than that of the average humanoid. Her skin is surprisingly warm if not hot to touch. She often wears layers when operating aboard Federation vessels, adding additional pieces to her uniform to remain warm in what are otherwise regular temperate environments. She may even go so far as to wear thick thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform or add more layers underneath it. |
| *Has a telepathy rating of T4 Long Range Uncontrollable.
| |
|
| |
|
| *In recent times, Sky has been viewed merely as a mother and a caring officer. She has become more trusting of her staff, and has even attempted to help with their problems. She has also become more independent.
| | She will wear comfortable form-fitting clothing when dressing outside of duty. Usually consists of brightly coloured, but otherwise plain clothing — typically a t-shirt and shorts. Blake thrives in hot climates and enjoys this casual getup when possible. Outside of her quarters, and in temperatures under 30 degrees, she is not known to allow much exposure of her skin, and she will wear well-fitted, long-sleeve shirts with a neckline no lower than her collar bone. If it is still too cold, she will resort to wearing thick thermal skins designed to retain her body temperature, and gloves if necessary. |
|
| |
|
| *Although she is viewed as a helpful superior and officer, she does have her times where she can get harsh. She has most notably bitter when it comes to the Avandar's Intelligence Officer, [[S'Lone i-Ra'thleifl tr'Khellian|Lieutenant tr'Khellian]], of whom she claims to be one of the most controlling Intelligence officers she has ever met - however, the ''exact'' reasons for her dislike of tr'Khellian are unclear. Many speculate it's to do with the large amount of telepathic activity Sky has "indulged" herself in.

|
| *Sky has shown herself to be a lot friendlier than she was on previous postings. It's speculated that this is because there is nobody she has previously served with on the Avandar. The more she warms up to the ship, however, the more comfortable she gets, thus she's more likely to speak her opinion about everything.
| | Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the [[Shoals]]. Her position aboard the ''Veritas'' and her role as a Starfleet Ranger provided her with a purpose she didn't have prior to re-joining [[Starfleet]]. She takes threats to the [[Shoals]] region incredibly seriously and becomes frustrated when her fellows (especially those in Starfleet]] don't show the same level of commitment to the rules and regulations of the areas—such as [[Kelrod]] discharging a phaser to stop an escalating physical conflict in a [[Ketar V]] establishment, which ultimately lands he, [[Wil Ukinix]], and Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] in Colonial Coalition Marshals holding cells. Comparatively, when an officer is untrusting of the Marshals, Blake becomes equally frustrated, regardless of whether she knows they are right in their assumptions (as is the case with [[Hannibal Parker]]). |
|
| |
|
| ===Appearance===
| | Blake prefers an advisory role specifically in the Shoals — which is the reason she was re-recruited back to Starfleet in 2392. She even admits to Rahman that she doesn't ''like'' being aboard starships because of the ongoing impact the environment has on her ill-suited physical health, but continued to serve for the positive influence the purpose of service provides for her mental health. To some, Blake may have been a controversial choice of executive officer for {{USS|Veritas}}. She is highly critical of Starfleet as an organisation, perceiving its current operations as being a flawed result of increased paranoia following the events of the Dominion War. |

| |
| Has been called the "spitting image" of her [[Blake, Lila|mother]] several times, but has her grandmother's eyes. Some people have even had trouble remembering this fact, thinking Sky as Lila, or Lila as Sky. She has stated several times that "it's ridiculously annoying to be confused with a Scientist, especially my mother".

|
| * '''Height:''' 5'11
| | Blake sometimes struggles to "switch off" from her duties, making it hard for others to connect with her on a personal level. Some may find it easier to only engage with Blake on duty, but with persistence, it is possible to break through her all-work-no-play psyche, revealing an easy-going woman. She surrounds herself deliberately with colour, having subscribed rather heavily into Ornaran colour psychology, and is considerably bright and charismatic when faced with relaxed social settings. Blake is strict with herself and tries her best to abide by social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies. |
| * '''Hair Color:''' Blond
| |
| * '''Length of Hair:''' Just above shoulder length and wavy.
| |
| * '''Eye Color:''' Bright Green. However, the left eye has taken a different color compared to her bright green due to extensive damage that has not been repaired.
| |
| * '''Birthmarks, Scars, Tattoos:''' Scar on her lower back from a Bajoran dagger piercing her spinal cord. For some unknown reason, she refuses offers to remove it.
| |
| * '''Build:''' Athletic and curved.
| |
| * '''Taste in clothing (Off Duty):''' After the birth of her daughter, something purely simple. Only ever wears formal clothing if the situation is just that; formal.
| |
| * '''Taste in clothing (On Duty):''' Has a taste in the long field jacket, but only wears it on away missions. Wears StarFleet uniform just like everyone else.
| |
| * '''Voice:''' Seritonian accent when speaking a Brekkian language. Has something that could be considered as an American accent when speaking Earth English. Is in the middle range of an alto and a soprano.
| |
|

| | Blake will ask questions and press for more information when she feels she does not have all the answers she requires, though admittedly becomes frustrated if others refuse to provide them. When required to make decisions, she prefers all have had their say first so that she can determine a course of action based on the information provided — though she has on occasion been known to make rash, ill-thought-out decisions when the crew is on a time crunch, possibly explaining her constant need for information. |
| <br>
| |
| * '''''Note:''' Due to being a hybrid, Sky could be easily mistaken as a [[Terran]] due to her bright eye color (many people have noted that Sky could not be a telepath, as Betazoids have black eyes), and lack of nose ridge that are commonly featured on a Brekkian.''
| |
|
| |
|
| <br>
| | If irritated, she becomes cold and blunt. However, she will not raise her voice when speaking to others. |
|
| |
|
| ===Manner===
| | Blake has struggled to set down roots and maintains homesteads in several different locations—including on [[Brekkian#Home World|Delos IV]], [[Shadow's Edge]], and [[Meridian]]. Though not originating from the Shoals, she is rather "patriotic" about the area, going so far as to demand the [[Colonial Coalition]] flag in her official Starfleet portrait. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Habits:''' Tends to throw knives at random things (most notably a dart board when she has run out of darts) when she's in a bad mood. Also tends to swear in Seritonian Brekkian when she thinks the situation requires it.
| | {{Quote box |
| *'''Religion/Spiritual Devotion:''' Norssian
| | |border = none |
| ** Believes in a Brekkian goddess called Noree, although, due her pregnancy with Faith, she now has more faith in Skyleena. Sky rarely gets time to pray anymore due to most of her spare time taken up by Faith, but she does send the occasional thought to her. She plans on attempting to raise Faith in the Norssian religion, but has decided that she will allow Faith to do whatever she pleases in that area of her life should she not choose to be a Norssian.

|
| ===Hobbies and Pastimes===
| | In this regard, Zhou had been lucky. He’d never heard of or met Sky Blake before his mission to go find her on Ornara and recruit her help when Veritas had been tasked with dealing with Brekkian drug smuggler pushing felicium into the Shoals. Perhaps that was why she’d been willing to let him get so close. |

| ** It has been noted by [[Zell, Deven|Deven Zell]] that yelling at Sky when she's yelling at you will get the situation nowhere, as she's built herself to take verbal abuse, and to just throw it back. Talking calmly, or even waiting for a few seconds for her to cool off, has proven more likely to work.

|
| * '''Holodeck/Outside:'''
| | Despite her committed relationship to [[Rairen Caide]], Blake still wears three rings denoting her marriage to [[Sabor]], her [[Vulcan]] bond-mate who was killed in 2391, on her right-hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers. Though she is protective of her children and their privacy, she frequently entrusts others to watch over them when she is not available—which is often the case for her son [[Ayeden Blake|Ayeden]], who has had countless guardians over the last two years alone. |
| ** It's true, Sky spends most of her free time in the Holodeck, especially with her daughter. As Faith grows up, the more Sky attempts to teach her to appreciate the landscape.
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Work:'''
| | If faced with information about her life prior to her amnesia, Blake will recoil and immediately attempt to retract herself from the situation. She fears her "past life" and does not wish to be someone she is not. She encourages [[Tristam Core]] to delete [[Sky Blake (hologram)|a holographic version of herself]], adamant that a second Sky Blake (from years ago) is of no benefit to anyone, and considers the hologram as nothing more than a dangerous ghost. |
| ** When not with Faith, Sky can be considered to be bored. She prefers to be doing field work, and tends to get sour at paperwork - at some points, she didn't manage to complete all the work she was given before transfers.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Likes=== | | ===Personal spaces=== |
| All of the above should be counted.
| | Blake considers her quarters to be much too large to inhabit, preferring small work areas. Her office is described as having been deliberately cluttered with items of various origin, though none are truly personal to her. The door is programmed to remain open unless privacy was required to encourage walk-ins, and is a deliberate attempt at forgoing a formal feel. Blake attached a bar to the ceiling of the room of which is used for exercise, an accompanying safety mat can also be located within the office. Shelving with various PADDs can be located to the right of the room when walking in. On the left, a display connected to the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] database updates. |

|
| * '''She's a Choco-holic:'''
| | ===Other information=== |
| ** Starts to have what seems like withdrawal symptoms if she goes without some for more than two weeks, but seems to be determined to stay away from it after Faith's birth.
| | Blake is (begrudgingly) a vegetarian, though not by conscious choice of her own. She mentions to [[Wil Ukinix]] that it is a psychological result of her bond to [[Sabor]], a [[Vulcan]]. |
| ** Is a sucker for Brekkian White Chocolate.
| |
|
| |
|
| * '''Cats:'''
| | She's proficient in the Brekkian language of Seritonian (her mother tongue) and is also surprisingly fluent in at least two Ornaran and Vulcan dialects. Blake is a Federation citizen by marriage—as is her son by birth. Her daughter, however, is currently considered a dual citizen of Brekka and Ornara, making relocating her particularly difficult when Brekka creates policies disallowing permanent relocation. When the Federation refuses to provide assistance, the [[Eleventh House of Betazed|Eleventh]] and [[Twentieth House of Betazed]] steps in, as Blake is a member of the former and Ilakai is revealed to be a member of the latter. |
| ** Sky has always - ever since a child - wanted a kitten or a cat, just so that she wasn't alone in her quarters or room. Sky seems to have a loving tendency for them.
| |
| ** She was introduced to cats by Marloy.

| * '''Bullies:'''
| | ==History== |
| **It's understandable that she doesn’t seem to like bullies, especially when she was bullied and teased her whole life. She stands up to anyone who harasses or bullies other members of the crew, and constantly suggests to her officers to lay charges if other people, who are in StarFleet, ever threaten, harass or bully them.

| ===Quarters=== | | ==Trivia== |
| [[Image:BlakesLivingRoom.jpg|270px|thumb|right|Part of the living room of Sky's quarters. They are always clean due to [[Sabor]]'s presence.]] | | *At some point before joining Starfleet initially, Blake was a gymnast.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/82BL2DcI5oA/azexbKsNAwAJ ''"Cakapunnual."''], LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Invicta}}, SD 239311.20</ref> |
| | *When [[Zhou Tai-Sheng]] shows up at the Ornaran bar Blake frequents, he orders a Xarantine ale. Blake's first mission in the fleet was {{USS|Challenger|A}}'s [[Between a Rock and a Hard ? (Challenger-A)|Between a Rock and a Hard ?]], where the Challenger was tasked with mediating a dispute between the [[Klingon]]s and the [[Xarantine]]. |
| | *Blake remembers piloting techniques from a [[Dero Goi|helm officer]] she served with, but not his name.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-invicta/TyBxq6PJN6I/EZiEVD8kBgAJ ''"Running out of paddles."''], LtCmdr S.Blake, {{USS|Invicta}}, SD 239309.27 <br><small>''What could only be described as an excellent yet batty warp jump (rivalling some pilot skills from a man whose name she couldn't possibly remember for the life of her), she'd almost fallen off her chair.''</small></ref> |
| | *As she's assigned to the Bajak Laut sector, Blake's title is technically "Bajak Laut Ranger" - which literally translates to "Pirate Ranger". |
| | *According to [[Tristam Core]], Blake is rich in latinum thanks to her father's involvement in the continued development of felicium before his death. Core wasn't sure exactly how much she has, but supposedly she could "fund a semi-united [[Brekkian]] government for five years and still enough left over for a nice little retirement with her kids on Ferenginar".<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/fTV2TBvDGZk/YQ8iaw45AwAJ ''"Rip-off."''], LtCmdr T.Core, {{USS|Veritas}}, SD 239504.01</ref> |
| | **However, due to her father having earned it through decades of exploitation of the [[Ornaran]]s, she has only accessed these funds whilst living on the Ornaran homeworld, using them to house her daughter (and her caretakers) and funding Bintac LE's anti-felicium operations. She also accessed the account to pay for Zhou's drink when they first met, but this was refunded to her. |
| | *Blake's middle name is "Serrella", taken after her father's personal assistant - whom she claims her father would have been nothing without.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-veritas/qb_tb9QJ_z4/snEbGc9qFQAJ ''"From nothing to something."

|
| |
|
| Due to Faith, Sky doesn't inhabit the usual crew quarters - instead, she has a family quarters, with two bedrooms (one for when Faith is old enough to be by herself). There is the occasional ornament on the shelf, but it is usually Faith's things that dominate the quarters. She plans on making good use of Faith's room, as she plans on moving her in when she's a year and a half old, but for now, the eight month old currently sleeps with her mother in her crib that attaches to the bed.

| About three small boxes with a set of five weapons in each, are in a locked draw of her tallboy (and why wouldn't they be with Faith around) along with two of her phasers.

| The living area has a few Brekkian paintings, and a gold necklace with a bright green gem is featured in a picture frame (a relic from the Blake family's past), and a few images here and there of Sky with a few friends(most notably with [[Martinez, Hannah|Hannah Martinez]], [[Zell, Deven|Deven Zell]] and [[Parker, Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]]).

Although she is Sky's only pet and loves her a heap, the attention to Kitty has had to take a back-seat with Faith's arrival. Faith, however, has taken a liking to Kitty, and Sky's glad that Kitty isn't game enough to attack Faith. Kitty currently sleeps in the spare bedroom, and only rarely comes out unless its to eat, drink or ask for attention.

|
| |
| ===Workplaces===
| |
| [[Image:Officers Office.PNG|180px|thumb|left|Due to the Avandar's layout, the Chief of Security and the Chief Tactical Officer are required to share an office..]]
| |
|
| |
| Previously sharing an office with [[Eerie|Commander Eerie]] before he was transferred, Sky now has the office all to herself - until such time the Avandar can appoint a new Chief Tactical Officer. While there is room for "personal improvement", Sky's side of the office is more or less bare. Her knife collection was immediately put in the second draw of her desk, but thankfully doesn't need to be locked away due to the required security clearance to get onto the deck.
| |
|
| |
| After her dartboard fell apart due to it's misuse as target practise for knives, there is now a large piece of wood that's 'designed' for Sky's continuous target practise - it is set to the left of the door, and can usually be seen with at least two knives stuck in it. She also has one or two images of friends (specifically Deven Zell and [[Parker, Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]]), and one of the crew of the [[USS Mercury]] when it was first launched. Her phaser-gun, which was a present Parker gave to her when she first became the Acting Chief of Security on the Ronin, is usually left on her desk in it's holster.
| |
|
| |
| Sky no longer has to "travel every deck" to get to things or check up on people. The Luna class design has made a Security Officer's life slightly easier - something Sky would call "certain luxuries". The whole of [[Avandar Deck Layout#Deck 08|Deck Eight]] is for Security and Tactical, and only people with that type of Security access can actually get onto it - much like [[Avandar Deck Layout#Deck 10|Deck Ten]] for the Marines.

| ===Achievements and Disappointments===
| |
| * '''Achievements:'''
| |
| ** Graduating Starfleet Academy top of her security class.
| |
| ** Getting promoted from Ensign to Lieutenant JG.
| |
| ** Was promoted to Acting Chief of Security onboard the [[USS Ronin]].
| |
| ** Was promoted to Lieutenant and Chief of Security on the same day onboard the [[USS Ronin]]. Although she claims that she doesn't exactly like the role of being a department head, she has already done well.
| |
| ** Received seven awards.
| |
| ** Found out she was pregnant with a girl, and gave birth to Faith Juanita Blake onboard the [[USS Thunder]].
| |
| ** Promoted to Lieutenant Commander at the [[Embassy of Duronis II]].
| |
| ** Given the role of Second Officer, which is to go along with her duties as Chief of Security, onboard the [[USS Avandar]]
| |
|
| |
| * '''Disappointments:'''
| |
| ** Her childhood. She was never really accepted into anything, which made a big impact on her personality now.
| |
| ** Was involved with the Brekkian civil war, and was caught in the middle of the bombings.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Ambitions/Goals:'''
| |
| * Sky currently just wants to be a good mother, and a good Chief of Security.
| |
|
| |
| ==Family==
| |
|
| |
| ===Father===
| |
| [[Blake, Rex|Rex Blake]], Sky's father, was a full [[Brekkian]], and was a Seritonian scientist. The relationship between Sky and Rex was not even there, as Rex believed Sky was a specimen of his (she was, at that time, the only Brekkian Betazoid hybrid on record), and dedicated himself only to his work. Although living with her parents for sixteen years, Sky barely knew Rex.
| |
|
| |
| Rex was killed during the Kekorna bombings, which was to oppose the new Seritonian Prime Minister. His funeral was held, but neither Sky or Lila attended - but not because they didn't want to, but because they were unable to due to the distance between Brekka and Duronis II.
| |
|
| |
| [[File:LilaandRexBlake.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Lila and Rex.]]
| |
|
| |
| ===Mother===
| |
|
| |
| [[Cole, Lila|Lila Cole]], Sky's full [[Betazoid]] mother, is currently somewhere on [[Betazed]], and her reasons to be there are unknown. Sky originally didn't get along with her mother, until she joined StarFleet Academy - of which time her mother went after her to talk with her. Opposite to her father, Lila actually cared about her daughter's whereabouts and her wellbeing. She managed to get their relationship to the point where Sky would communicate with her every day, and Sky would tell her what’s on her mind.
| |
|
| |
| Lila was the first to be notified of Rex's death, but was unable to attend due to the distance between Duronis and Brekka. She divorced Rex because he was too controlling, and returned to her maiden name of Cole. It's presumed that she's currently taking care of his will.
| |
|
| |
| ===Godfather===
| |
| [[Marloy]] was Sky's full time Mentor for all Intents and Purposes. He was there for Sky during her childhood years, and managed to get her to enrol in StarFleet. He currently resides somewhere in Kirsch, with his new student.
| |
|
| |
| ===Spouse===
| |
| [[File:Sabor2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Sabor in 2389.]]
| |
|
| |
| Currently in a relationship with [[Sabor|Lieutenant Sabor]]. Due to being in a relationship in Sky, he became the de facto father to Faith. Regardless of his conditions, the [[Vulcan]] has become brave enough to play with the baby, and looks after her when Sky is unable to. Her relationship with him only became public when the two were transferred to the Avandar - something that was influenced by one Hannibal Parker.
| |
|
| |
| Sabor suffers from OCD and germophobia, which only became a problem for the two when {{n|Chase|Valaine}} tampered with the ship's replicator system to get back at Sky for a prank - Sabor was unable to access replicated water, and he found it excruciatingly difficult to deal with having water from the kitchen tap. It resulted in him having an outburst about it in the ship's armory, where he told Sky of Tuvrem's death and how it affected Sabor and his sister. It made her realize the gravity of his situation, and she has become increasinly supportive of him attempting to "cure" his problems.
| |
|
| |
| * '''Past Relationships'''
| |
| ** '''[[Parker,Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]]:''' Parker and Sky have somewhat of a history. They were on the same posting until Sky was transferred to the Avandar, and Parker was not especially pleased. They didn't get goodbyes due to Sky being shipped off straight away, but she did attempt to leave a note, which failed to reach its destination due to the communications system at the Embassy being taken offline. It's unknown exactly what damage has occurred to their relationship.
| |
| ** '''[[Valentino, Michael Angelo|Angelo Valentino]]:''' Not even something Sky considered a relationship, but a one-night-stand. It resulted in a fight between Valentino and Parker. Afterwards, Valentino came to her home, mainly wanting the privileges she took from him reinstated. Instead, he spent a little bit of time with Faith, who seemed to like Valentino very much. The two did not get to say goodbye to each other, due to Sky's unexpected leaving.
| |
| ** '''[[Zell, Deven|Deven Zell]]:''' A relationship that Sky now considers her best, although, Deven was reassigned, and did not attempt to tell her goodbye. He returned to the Mercury in a bad shape, having a break-down in front of Sky. The two agreed that they'd help each other, but shortly after being transferred to the Embassy and the Thunder, he had suffered yet another break-down, and was sent to a Medical Facility on Earth while Sky was not onboard the Thunder. It was not explained when he left exactly, but it was explained that he was transferred by the order of an unknown Medical officer.
| |
| ** '''[[Ozera, Alixis|Alixis Ozera]]:''' Was in a stable relationship with Alix, until he suddenly disappeared without a trace on stardate 238902.19.
| |
| ** '''[[Herrera, Diego|Diego Herrera]]:''' Neither of them could bring themselves to admit that they loved each other. Unfortunately, Diego was told to report back to [[Earth]], with Sky to report to the Ronin. The goodbye was short and difficult, but Sky has the feeling that he won't contact her any time soon.
| |
| ** '''[[Sullivan, Rowan|Rowan Sullivan]]:''' A fling that lasted only a night. The two still talk to each other, but it is difficult to keep up with Rowan. Sky may not admit it, but she was actually torn over him and the very short physical relationship he presented. She promised herself that she wasn't going to do it again.
| |
| ** '''[[Mycroft, Carina|Carina Mycroft]]:''' Apparently the start of her sexual relationships, Carina was her first, and currently only, bisexual relationship. She was 'returned' to Sky by the order of the BTA due to some rule breaking whilst mentoring three students, which earned her a suspension.

| |
| * '''[[Blake, Faith|Faith Juanita Blake]]'''
| |
| ** A beautiful baby girl born on Stardate 238905.17 in the [[USS Thunder|USS Thunder's]] [[Thunder Sickbay|Sick Bay]]. Faith is biologically ''not'' related to anyone apart from Sky and her family - in short, biologically, she doesn't have a father. She was conceived between Sky and Alixis Ozera, and it's most likely that Alixis has absolutely no knowledge of her existence due to his disappearance.
| |
| ** Faith has dark green eyes currently - taking after her mother and her great grandmother (Sky's father's side) - and all the features a newborn has. It's reasonable to believe that she will gain the same abilities as Sky - some sort of telepathy, and a Brekkian charge.
| |
| ** Sky named [[Martinez, Hannah|Hannah Martinez]] and [[Parker,Hannibal|Hannibal Parker]] as Faith's godparents. Should anything happen to Sky, and she is not involved with anyone, Faith is to be cared for by either one of her godparents. However, due to Sky's new posting on the Avandar, it has become increasingly difficult to keep in touch with the two.

|
| |
| ===Education===
| |
|
| |
| ====Kekorna Schooling====
| |
| Was born in Kekorna, and thus, went to a Kekorna pre-school for about two years, until her parents moved her to Kekorna Publisse Public School. (A Publisse school means that it's almost all years of teaching).
| |
|
| |
| During this time, she excelled in Physical Education and that of Science and Linguistic skills. Her scores for Mathematics, SSL (Social Skills for Life or "Drama") and History were awfully low due to her low turn-up rate of those classes, and her teachers stated that it was because she was "wagging" them with her friends to seem "cool", when, in fact, her friends were in trouble or Marloy had signed her out of school. One of these instances included an incident of which Bailey Lowe was handcuffed around a Library post.
| |
|
| |
| She continued her education there until she dropped out in Year 9, of which she left Kekorna to go and continue her athletic training.
| |
|
| |
| ====Brekkian Training Association====
| |
|
| |
| After dropping out of KPPS, Marloy requested that Sky become a student of the BTA - an association which keeps people who have either dropped out of school or have been kicked out for numerous amounts of reasons. She was accepted, and Marloy became her mentor full time.
| |
|
| |
| Two years after being accepted, Marloy was put on leave due to personal reasons. The BTA decided that [[Mycroft, Carina|Carina Mycroft]] (a mentor specializing in social activities) would take his place. During the first few weeks, Sky and Carina argued, and Carina even had something thrown at her a couple of times, but things did clear up. After a month and a half, the two became good friends. During her time with Carina, Sky was made more aware of things like alcohol, drugs and sexual activities, as well as special social events like Award and Recognition nights for her gymnastics. Her time with Carina lasted almost two years until Marloy returned.
| |
|
| |
| Whilst recovering from her spinal injury on DS9, the BTA sent Carina to offer Sky a mentoring position, one of which she respectfully denied. However, she is currently a member of the BTA, contributing majorly to the education of children under the age of 12.
| |
|
| |
| ====Linguistic Education====
| |
|
| |
| Was born in the Brekkian country of Seritona, therefore learned Seritonian from her parents and additional education from schools.
| |
|
| |
| Took additional LOTS (Language Other Than Seritonian) classes, learning Terran English and German as well as Brekkian Kornettian. When she joined the Academy, she was given extra linguistic classes for German, and was taught English by [[Sullivan, Renae|Renae Sullivan]], who was her roommate.

- This page refers to Prime Blake. You may be looking for Sky Blake (hologram) or Sky Blake (alternate).
Skyleena Blake is a half Brekkian, half Betazoid serving as Vice Chief of the Colonial Coalition Marshals Service.
She previously served as a Starfleet officer aboard the USS Challenger-A, USS Ronin, USS Mercury, USS Avandar, USS Vigilant, USS Syracuse, and USS Veritas, earning the rank of Commander. She retired from active service in mid-2398.
Physical appearance
Blake is a humanoid of Brekkian and Betazoid descent, sharing emerald green eyes with her Brekkian father but lacks any notable Brekkian features. She is 5'10 and sports short blonde hair, just long enough to be tied back. She wears three rings on her right hand, denoting her marriage to Sabor, placed on her thumb (a plain copper band), second (a plain gold band), and fourth (a stainless steel band with emerald gemstone) fingers, respectively.
Because she is part Brekkian, Blake's body temperature is higher than that of the average humanoid. Her skin is surprisingly warm if not hot to touch. She often wears layers when operating aboard Federation vessels, adding additional pieces to her uniform to remain warm in what are otherwise regular temperate environments. She may even go so far as to wear thick thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform or add more layers underneath it.
She will wear comfortable form-fitting clothing when dressing outside of duty. Usually consists of brightly coloured, but otherwise plain clothing — typically a t-shirt and shorts. Blake thrives in hot climates and enjoys this casual getup when possible. Outside of her quarters, and in temperatures under 30 degrees, she is not known to allow much exposure of her skin, and she will wear well-fitted, long-sleeve shirts with a neckline no lower than her collar bone. If it is still too cold, she will resort to wearing thick thermal skins designed to retain her body temperature, and gloves if necessary.
Personality
- See also: Relationships, logs
- "You're a widow, Commander. Born out of ash and fire with just five years of life under your belt. The things that scare you are complex - they are very real problems. But some of us are simply spooked by a darkened corridor."
- — Kallo Ver, "The unordinary man of the Shoals."
Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the Shoals. Her position aboard the Veritas and her role as a Starfleet Ranger provided her with a purpose she didn't have prior to re-joining Starfleet. She takes threats to the Shoals region incredibly seriously and becomes frustrated when her fellows (especially those in Starfleet]] don't show the same level of commitment to the rules and regulations of the areas—such as Kelrod discharging a phaser to stop an escalating physical conflict in a Ketar V establishment, which ultimately lands he, Wil Ukinix, and Captain Roshanara Rahman in Colonial Coalition Marshals holding cells. Comparatively, when an officer is untrusting of the Marshals, Blake becomes equally frustrated, regardless of whether she knows they are right in their assumptions (as is the case with Hannibal Parker).
Blake prefers an advisory role specifically in the Shoals — which is the reason she was re-recruited back to Starfleet in 2392. She even admits to Rahman that she doesn't like being aboard starships because of the ongoing impact the environment has on her ill-suited physical health, but continued to serve for the positive influence the purpose of service provides for her mental health. To some, Blake may have been a controversial choice of executive officer for USS Veritas. She is highly critical of Starfleet as an organisation, perceiving its current operations as being a flawed result of increased paranoia following the events of the Dominion War.
Blake sometimes struggles to "switch off" from her duties, making it hard for others to connect with her on a personal level. Some may find it easier to only engage with Blake on duty, but with persistence, it is possible to break through her all-work-no-play psyche, revealing an easy-going woman. She surrounds herself deliberately with colour, having subscribed rather heavily into Ornaran colour psychology, and is considerably bright and charismatic when faced with relaxed social settings. Blake is strict with herself and tries her best to abide by social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies.
Blake will ask questions and press for more information when she feels she does not have all the answers she requires, though admittedly becomes frustrated if others refuse to provide them. When required to make decisions, she prefers all have had their say first so that she can determine a course of action based on the information provided — though she has on occasion been known to make rash, ill-thought-out decisions when the crew is on a time crunch, possibly explaining her constant need for information.
If irritated, she becomes cold and blunt. However, she will not raise her voice when speaking to others.
Blake has struggled to set down roots and maintains homesteads in several different locations—including on Delos IV, Shadow's Edge, and Meridian. Though not originating from the Shoals, she is rather "patriotic" about the area, going so far as to demand the Colonial Coalition flag in her official Starfleet portrait.
Zhou: You’ve always been uncomfortable when you’ve met people from that “other” Sky’s past. The familiarity foreign to you.
In this regard, Zhou had been lucky. He’d never heard of or met Sky Blake before his mission to go find her on Ornara and recruit her help when Veritas had been tasked with dealing with Brekkian drug smuggler pushing felicium into the Shoals. Perhaps that was why she’d been willing to let him get so close.
Zhou: I don’t think this is as much about being offended as it is you worried you’re going to find out more about who you really were once… and maybe not living up to that. ::He shrugged.:: Or maybe just finding out how much you’ve changed.
Blake: I’ve heard about the woman I was. ::She shook her head.:: I didn’t like her very much.

Despite her committed relationship to Rairen Caide, Blake still wears three rings denoting her marriage to Sabor, her Vulcan bond-mate who was killed in 2391, on her right-hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers. Though she is protective of her children and their privacy, she frequently entrusts others to watch over them when she is not available—which is often the case for her son Ayeden, who has had countless guardians over the last two years alone.
If faced with information about her life prior to her amnesia, Blake will recoil and immediately attempt to retract herself from the situation. She fears her "past life" and does not wish to be someone she is not. She encourages Tristam Core to delete a holographic version of herself, adamant that a second Sky Blake (from years ago) is of no benefit to anyone, and considers the hologram as nothing more than a dangerous ghost.
Personal spaces
Blake considers her quarters to be much too large to inhabit, preferring small work areas. Her office is described as having been deliberately cluttered with items of various origin, though none are truly personal to her. The door is programmed to remain open unless privacy was required to encourage walk-ins, and is a deliberate attempt at forgoing a formal feel. Blake attached a bar to the ceiling of the room of which is used for exercise, an accompanying safety mat can also be located within the office. Shelving with various PADDs can be located to the right of the room when walking in. On the left, a display connected to the Colonial Coalition Marshals Service database updates.
Other information
Blake is (begrudgingly) a vegetarian, though not by conscious choice of her own. She mentions to Wil Ukinix that it is a psychological result of her bond to Sabor, a Vulcan.
She's proficient in the Brekkian language of Seritonian (her mother tongue) and is also surprisingly fluent in at least two Ornaran and Vulcan dialects. Blake is a Federation citizen by marriage—as is her son by birth. Her daughter, however, is currently considered a dual citizen of Brekka and Ornara, making relocating her particularly difficult when Brekka creates policies disallowing permanent relocation. When the Federation refuses to provide assistance, the Eleventh and Twentieth House of Betazed steps in, as Blake is a member of the former and Ilakai is revealed to be a member of the latter.

Trivia
- At some point before joining Starfleet initially, Blake was a gymnast.[3]
- When Zhou Tai-Sheng shows up at the Ornaran bar Blake frequents, he orders a Xarantine ale. Blake's first mission in the fleet was USS Challenger-A's Between a Rock and a Hard ?, where the Challenger was tasked with mediating a dispute between the Klingons and the Xarantine.
- Blake remembers piloting techniques from a helm officer she served with, but not his name.[4]
- As she's assigned to the Bajak Laut sector, Blake's title is technically "Bajak Laut Ranger" - which literally translates to "Pirate Ranger".
- According to Tristam Core, Blake is rich in latinum thanks to her father's involvement in the continued development of felicium before his death. Core wasn't sure exactly how much she has, but supposedly she could "fund a semi-united Brekkian government for five years and still enough left over for a nice little retirement with her kids on Ferenginar".[5]
- However, due to her father having earned it through decades of exploitation of the Ornarans, she has only accessed these funds whilst living on the Ornaran homeworld, using them to house her daughter (and her caretakers) and funding Bintac LE's anti-felicium operations. She also accessed the account to pay for Zhou's drink when they first met, but this was refunded to her.
- Blake's middle name is "Serrella", taken after her father's personal assistant - whom she claims her father would have been nothing without.[6]

What could only be described as an excellent yet batty warp jump (rivalling some pilot skills from a man whose name she couldn't possibly remember for the life of her), she'd almost fallen off her chair.
