Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the [[Shoals]]. Her position aboard the ''Veritas'' and her role as a Starfleet Ranger provides her with a purpose she didn't have prior to re-joining [[Starfleet]]. Because of this, she takes threats to either ''Veritas'' and its crew (or the [[Shoals]] region) incredibly seriously and becomes frustrated when her fellows 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 their captain [[Roshanara Rahman]] in Colonial Coalition Marshals holding cells. Comparatively, when an officer is untrusting of ''Veritas''' capabilities (or that of the Marshals), Blake becomes equally frustrated. | Blake's life revolves near-exclusively around her job in the [[Shoals]].

To some, Blake may be a controversial choice of first officer. 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 has no ambition to command a vessel and 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 continues to serve for the positive influence the purpose of service provides for her mental health. | |||
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 who cares deeply about the members of her crew. 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. Blake is strict upon herself and tries her best to abide by social norms, rules, and laws of other cultures or colonies, even when doing so may directly contradict her duty as a Starfleet officer. This has been known to sometimes cause friction with her Starfleet crew, as she may place the requirements of a Coalition colony above that of her ship, and become perplexed when others don't do the same. | Blake sometimes struggles to "switch off" from her duties, making it hard for others to connect with her on a personal level.
