===Personality===
Prior to her return to active service aboard the USS ''Veritas'', Blake was found residing on the [[Ornaran]] homeworld, working with law enforcement to rid her area of residence of further crime incited by black market drug trade. She was located in a bar winding down from a days work by [[Zhou Tai-Sheng|Commander Zhou Tai-Sheng]], and was assigned to the ''Veritas'' as the ship's Strategic Operations Officer for the ongoing [[Operation Safe Harbor]].
Blake is of a calm and collected temperament, receptive to criticism, and is a cool-headed thinker unwilling to take unnecessary risks. As evidenced by discussions with her crew mates [[Kelrod]] (about how to proceed when arresting a higher ranking Starfleet officer) and [[Chythar Skyfire]] (regarding her more recent seizures and memory loss), she is willing to follow the instructions of others even when she's not entirely convinced of their merits. In fact, she relies on her crew mates counsel for most matters, as despite having served in the Shoals for longer than her fellow senior staff members, the reality is she has the ''least'' amount of experience as a Starfleet officer, due to retrograde amnesia. She will ask questions and press superior officers when she believes more information is required for herself and or the crew, though never usually does so guns-blazing.  


Blake is occasionally referred to the 'doom and gloom' character by her fellow crew, and has been heard verbalizing worst case scenarios sometimes to a point of fault - though she is not without positivity. 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 that don't involve her Starfleet uniform. Off duty on a colony world or civilian station and with no prior commitments, Blake can usually be found in a bar, chatting up locals and becoming suspiciously cozy with the bartender.
On stardate 239307.21, Blake was lended to [[Peaceforce Five]], posted to the {{USS|Syracuse}}, after reports of suspicious activity involving [[Voreic Industries]] in the Menthar Corridor - given her intimate knowledge of a key player within the organization, it was believed her knowledge would be of benefit. The first week of her stay proved uneventful, but the Syracuse, assigned as a support vessel to the {{USS|Invicta}}, was caught up in conflicts surrounding [[Adovan]] territory, one involving [[Titus Vassily]]. After the incident, she ignored all requests to assist a small taskforce formed by Starfleet Intelligence in examining all records pertaining to Vassily, claiming an irritation of Starfleet's inattention to the Federation's local problems.


It is evident that Blake takes her job and learned mannerisms within the Shoals seriously, as she thoroughly believes in the rules of engagement set for the area. Because of this, she is considered by her fellow crew to have a particularly 'sharp' demeanor. When irritated, she becomes considerably cold and blunt, but if Blake is known for one thing, it's that she hardly ever raises her voice to others. She dislikes speaking of her personal life whilst on duty, though is still mildly uncomfortable doing so off-duty (though this seems to occur more with those who knew her prior to her retiring Starfleet service aboard the {{USS|Vigilant}}).
She remained on [[Astrofori One]] during the Syracuse's shore leave, and along with Commander Zhou, assists the Syracuse and Invicta crews in refurbishing the {{USS|Venture}}. On it's way home from a parade, the Venture is thrown into the mid-2200s, coming up against the [[ma:Planet killer|Doomsday machine]] - during this period, Blake acts as the Venture's First Officer.


Her bond-mate, [[Sabor]], was reportedly killed during domestic terrorism attacks on Brekka four months after their son's birth - this has left its mark on Blake's psyche, and while she is doing well and moving on with what remains of her family, she is still not ready for a committed romantic relationship. Despite engaging in many ''casual'' relationships, she still wears three rings denoting her marriage to Sabor - located on her right hand thumb, second, and fourth fingers.
Safely returned to their home time of 2393, she was placed on a six month leave of absence to spend time with her family, of whom she'd been estranged from with little contact for over two years. During this time, Blake relocated her children's residence to [[Bintac]].  


===Physical appearance===
Five months into her leave of absence, she returned to the Shoals and headed directly for [[Shadow's Edge]] to assist the small research settlement of Cakapunnual with ending hostile raids on their resources, working closely with colonial marshal [[Tydo]]. Shortly before being recalled to the Veritas, Blake took possession of a two hundred year old [[ma:EM pistol|EM-33 plasma pistol]], of which had been smuggled into the settlement illegally, with the intention of locating it's origin within the Shoals. When patrolling the main colony with Lieutenant [[Elena Sands]], news of [[Rosa Carrero]]'s death broke. Blake immediately contacted the Veritas back to retrieve its crew members, before it was recalled to [[Star Station Esperance]] for a new captain. During this time, Blake arranged a memorial service for Carrero.
[[File:SkyBlakeUniform.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Blake wearing the new duty uniform introduced in 2395.]]
Blake is a Brekkian/Betazoid hybrid, standing at 5'10 with shoulder-length blonde hair. Identifying features include emerald green eyes and a two-inch long scar on her lower back. Remains of her original medical file seem to indicate that she was once capable of telepathic abilities, but scans will show that her telepathic lobe is no longer active.


When working within the Shoals, Blake is often equipped with a [[Personal phaser#Type 2 "Aquila" Pattern|Type 2 Mark VIII NL Aquila]], rather than standard phasers. Though Starfleet officers wear a uniform at all times, Blake tends to return to a casual getup when working as an independent Ranger, unconnected to the ship - she has also been known to ditch her uniform jacket when possible, or add additional pieces when the environment is too cold for the Brekkian hybrid. She will also be found wearing a copper ring on her thumb, believed to be associated with her deceased husband.
Upon return to Esperance, Zhou was reassigned to the planet, while Blake was given the role of the Veritas First Officer, one of the few bridge crew officers not to be reassigned when Captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] took command. During this time, Blake aleviated tension with her ex-crewmates (namely that of [[Elis]]) and worked with Counselor [[Raissa Moonsong]] and Chief Engineer [[Luna Walker]] during the transition.


Off duty, two other rings from her marriage to Sabor will be placed back on her second and fourth fingers. She tends to wear form-fitting clothing, though her choices of such pieces depend on the climate. Due to the environmental support aboard many Starfleet vessels, the most skin she would allow exposed is from her collar bone and above (as well as her hands) out of pure necessity to remain comfortable in what she considers to be colder temperatures - compliments of her half [[Brekkian#Physiology|Brekkian]] physiology. When ill, she will go so far as to wear thermal clothing to replace parts of her uniform (or as an aditional layer underneath it). To that end, Blake's skin is surprisingly warm, if not hot to touch.
When tasked with finding evidence and potentially provide a list of suspects, Blake was involved in a minor confrontation with Tydo upon her teams entrance into the Governor's residence. With Walker, [[Kessa T'Dara]], and [[Carter Greyson]], they found wiped security logs, cut power lines - evidence Blake initially thought the [[Coalition Marshals]] of Shadow's Edge had tampered with. T'Dara is injured when exposed to an electrical current, and the team reconvenes on the Veritas. When Sky is unable to contact Captain Rahman and her team on the surface, she pulls the crew back to the ship, concerned for the captain's wellbeing.
 
===Personal spaces===
Blake considers her quarters to be much to large for just herself and her son to inhabit - despite the possessions of her toddler now being present, Blake's quarters feel seemingly bare, with few personal items on display. However, where she has added items, they are colourful and eye-catching, and by no means match the starchy feel of standard Starfleet quarters - a sunshine yellow blanket is draped over the couch; her glassware for some strange reason, a bright green colour; and there is a false plant on her coffee table featuring a neon blue flower. The lights are generally on 90% illumination or higher, and are warmer than the rest of the ship by ten degrees.
 
After months of conflict with [[Brandon Cormac]] came to a resolution back closer to when she first joined the ''Veritas'', Blake chose her office to be just off the ''Veritas'' Command Information Center. It's no bigger than a modest broom closet (it is, in fact, a re-purposed storage area, and she's quite comfortable with the small amount of space it affords). To fit inside the small space, her desk is less than a meter in width - in the adjacent corner, however, a small couch has been placed instead of a simple desk chair across from her. There is a spare set of clothes placed on top of a locker in the third corner, housing her Aquila, tricorder, and holster. More interestingly, PADDs detailing her recovered personnel files and logs from her time on the {{USS|Challenger|A}}, {{USS|Ronin}}, {{USS|Mercury}}, {{USS|Avandar}} and the {{USS|Vigilant}} are also placed inside - however, this is information is by no means secret and is easily found on Starfleet databases. It's possible she keeps these PADDs offline from Starfleet server updates, concerned the files will be lost again. Finally, behind the desk is a wall display, connected to the [[Colonial Coalition Marshals Service]] servers, keeping her updated with Marshal reports in her current designated region of operation as a Ranger in the Shoals (at present, these areas include [[Shadow's Edge]] and [[Antor II]]).
 
===Other information===
 
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 - because of this, relocating Faith to Federation space continues to face complications.
 
Records of Blake's personal history have been removed from the Starfleet personnel database due the deceptive request of her [[Lila Cole|mother]] upon false news of Blake's death, but her service record and partial medical reports remain intact. Blake was required to undergo a full review upon her return to service, and is required to attend monthly check-ups by the ship's medical officer.

Blake was part of the team that boarded what was left of the cargo vessel Falcon. When clues regarding the party responsible for the Falcon's demise arose, Blake and [[Evan Delano]] spoke of the known exploits of the [[Kos'karii]], a large band of Klingon pirates that operated within the Shoals, also supplying the crew with information of the Kos'karii leader [[Jilor]]. Later, Blake would speak to [[Mei'konda]] about her frustration with the Federation Security and Starfleet Administration, believing that Delano's information would have assisted the Veritas and her operations, and was angered that instead of working as a unit, Starfleet, Federation Security, and the Colonial Marshals, continued to knock heads against each other. She would go on to assist Mei'konda in interrogating the Falcon's survivor Sov, a Klingon who was once a crew member of a Kos'karii vessel.
