'''Gila Sadar''' is currently serving as a '''Medical Officer''' aboard the [[USS Artemis-A|''USS Artemis-A'']]. | |||
(''' | {{Heading|Appearance|Teal}} | ||
* '''Height''': ''1.82 m (5'9")'' | |||
* '''Hair''': ''None'' | |||
* '''Eyes''': ''Dark brown'' | |||
* '''Build''': ''Average build, long and awkward limbs.'' | |||
* '''Posture''': ''Hunched and nervous, intentionally attempting to seem smaller, unless she’s working.'' | |||
* '''Taste in Clothing (when off duty)''': ''Gila is never caught anywhere out of her Yael-robes - the customary robes donned by all Mizarians - though they are often in slightly more colorful hues than other Mizarians don. She has a substantial ring collection.'' | |||
* '''Voice''': ''Slightly deeper than most, quiet and hesitant. Will talk to herself in an almost mechanical droning while working.'' | |||
* '''Handedness''': ''Right-handed.'' | |||
{{Heading|Personality|Teal}} | |||
Anyone meeting Gila would be hard pressed to identify anything about her save an intense lack of confidence and sense of worth. She’ll rarely be the person to initiate conversations with strangers, or indeed even acquaintances, but once she is in social circumstances, she seems almost obsessively focused on ensuring a productive and enjoyable conversation for everyone involved. The clear impression left behind by Gila is not one of someone who does not enjoy social niceties, but rather one who is dreadfully unprepared and unpracticed in how to participate in them comfortably. | |||
Gila is very much a follower - as is the norm for her people - and does not as a rule fare well in command situations. Her Academy years were plagued by an untold number of reprimands from her superior officers for following orders blindly, sometimes to the detriment of her crew and patients. This is a weakness that Gila is acutely aware of, and yet she struggles with finding ways to overcome it. She has found it easier to hold her ground when it comes to her patients’ safety and wellbeing, but will readily ‘jump off a bridge’ if commanded, as the saying goes. | |||
Gila is the textbook definition of a workaholic, often preferring to be neck-deep in research or a patient’s medical journal than attending to herself. She is at her core a deeply hypocritical person, often employing the philosophy of ‘do as I say, not as I do’, when it comes to the medical concerns of mental health and work-life balance. She is a good doctor, attentive and obsessive about every case, no matter how small, but she can be a bit of a busybody and some patients consider her almost too attentive as she stubbornly seeks out every possible health concern, even ones they haven’t sought help for. | |||
Beyond the above, Gila is an intensely curious and inquisitive person, though for whatever reason, she seems to attempt to keep those particular characteristics of hers dulled. She enjoys learning new things, seeing new places and interacting with objects and people she’s never seen before, but one would never find her actively seeking the information from other people. When push comes to shove, she’s a very ‘hands-on’ learner, preferring experimentation to more passive avenues of learning. | |||
==== Likes and Dislikes ==== | |||
* Academic work - ''Reading and peer-reviewing other doctors’ medical journal can seem dry work, but to Gila, it harkens back to a simpler time.'' | |||
* Exploration - ''Anything new and unexplored is extremely interesting to Gila.'' | |||
* Alien art - ''Mizarian art is very dry and unimaginative, void of color. Since leaving Mizar II, Gila has developed a fondness for more expressive schools of artwork.'' | |||
* Meditation - ''Spiritualism and faith is something Gila grew up with, and while she doesn’t consider herself religious, she still finds great calm in the act of meditation.'' | |||
{{Heading|Service History|Gold}} | * Conflict - ''Gila will actively avoid conflict at almost any cost, often attempting to either extract herself from a situation before it gets heated, or playing peacekeeper, if she sees no other alternative.'' | ||
* Being forgotten - ''Due to certain events in her past, Gila suffers from intense athazagoraphobia - the fear of being forgotten or ignored.'' | |||
* Alcohol - ''Gila has only gotten drunk once in her life, and it is a sensation she never wants to experience again. As such, she rarely partakes in alcoholic drinks.'' | |||
{{Heading|Hobbies|Teal}} | |||
'''History and Culture Studies''' | |||
''Gila’s original field of study was firmly within the humanities, specifically history and culture development. She seems to almost actively avoid the subject, but she’s unable to entirely cut ties with it, and most of her favorite reading material is academic journals and publications about alien history and cultural development. She does not, however, possess any of her own publications, or indeed any about the Mizarians themselves.'' | |||
'''Cooking''' | |||
''Calling Gila a ‘cook’ would be an insult to the profession, but it is something she enjoys doing when she’s stressed or worried about something. Following a recipe and disconnecting her mind for a while has an almost meditative effect on her, and while her skill is far from excellent, she has started to develop some skill in it after cooking her own food during her Academy years.'' | |||
''' Sewing''' | |||
''A more recent hobby of Gila’s, born out of necessity as the state of her Yeal-robes started deteriorating after Gila’s prolonged absence from her homeworld. She’s not skilled at it by any means, but it is something she practices with dedication and focus, and it allows her to feel closer to something akin to a feeling of home without having to face some complicated feelings directly tied to her past.'' | |||
'''Journaling''' | |||
''Gila has been practicing the Mizarian tradition of Ur’tal - a form of journaling where, before sleeping every night, you write down all that has happened through the day, your emotions and concerns, and then burn the material on which you’ve written. She has a complicated relationship with the tradition, as she has previously attempted to stop it, but found herself becoming increasingly more anxious for each day she didn’t perform it.'' | |||
{{Heading|Relationships|Teal}} | |||
=== Personal === | |||
Madison Marsh | |||
=== Aboard the Artemis-A === | |||
[[Addison MacKenzie|Captain Addison MacKenzie]] | |||
The Captain of the Artemis-A was one of two Starfleet Officers who oversaw Gila and Madison's final test before graduation. Though Gila had little opportunity to converse with her future Captain, she is excited - and terrified - to see how she'll fare under her command out in the real world. | |||
{{Heading|Personal History|Teal}} | |||
Gila’s family life was completely defined by her father’s career as a spiritualist and educator of the Kahlto - ‘The Wheel of Existence’ - and while there is a great deal of love between the different family members, communication has all but broken down in the time since Gila left Mizar II. The only family member she still talks with is her older sister Eyla, and Gila harbors no hope of this ever changing, however much this saddens her sister and mother. | |||
=== Parents === | |||
Father: Koja Sadar - ''Gila and her father had a rocky relationship all through her upbringing, and while no one ever doubted that Gila loved and admired her father very much, her father’s prolonged absences from home and generally strict demeanor towards his daughters has since driven a wedge between the two. This wedge only deepened with Gila’s resignation and subsequent admission to Starfleet Academy.'' | |||
Cefli Sadar (née Ylrahe) – Gila’s mother had a limited impact on Gila’s upbringing. Busy as she was with her work, she was also completely subservient to her husband when it came to raising their two daughters. There is love between them, but more than anything, Gila has a tough time confiding in her mother due to an underdeveloped relationship. Cefli often asks her eldest daughter Eyla how Gila is doing, though she doesn’t have the courage or will to contact her daughter herself. | |||
=== Siblings === | |||
Eyla Aqili (née Sadar) – The two Sadar sisters had a tense relationship growing up, often competing for their father’s approval - a competition Gila often lost - but after they grew up, the two sisters have gotten far closer than they ever were as kids. Eyla still maintains communication with her sister, and though she initially had difficulties understanding Gila’s reasons for leaving Mizar II behind, recent developments have led to her understanding far more than she ever hoped she would. | |||
=== Other Family === | |||
Kolya Aqili - Kolya is Gila’s nephew, and very much the apple of her eye. Kolya is demonstrating uncharacteristic creativity and drive for a Mizarian, a fact that worries both his grandfather and parents. Gila encourages this by telling him stories of her experiences in the Federation and sending him fiction and artwork of many different species. The boy himself doesn’t yet understand the family schism that his talents will cause, and Gila hopes he will never find out.{{Heading|Service History|Gold}} | |||
