'''Lina Dahlquist''' is currently serving as a '''Science officer''' aboard the {{USS|Gorkon}}.  

Lina Dahlquist was born as a second child to Frederik and Maria Dahlquist in Goteborg, Sweden on Earth. This was where she grew up. Unlike her older brother Anders, who was very private and reserved, Lina was an extroverted and outgoing child. As a child she always wanted to be in the center of the attention. Lina herself had never had the closest relationship to her older brother, but she and her younger sister Malin are very close.

Her older brother always seemed to be her father’s favourite child, but Anders died due to a tragic accident when he was eighteen years old. This was of course a blow for the whole family. From one day to the next, the childhood ended for Lina. Because of the loss of his oldest son, his father suffered from depression. Then eleven-year-old Lina also felt guilty for not having had the best relationship with her older brother. Her deceased brother was put on a pedestal by her father and it seemed that Lina, could never be ‘adequate’ and was not able to do anything correctly in her father’s eyes. Lina was constantly compared to her ‘perfect’ older brother. Her way to deal with the grief was to try to make other people happy and be and sometimes play the cheerful one. However, her father saw this as a sign that she did not really miss her brother as he did not understand her way of dealing with the loss. This only served to further divide her from her father.

Lina is a social and generally happy person. When she is nervous, she tends to talk too much. But she also had to learn that showing her real emotions would only make her more vulnerable, so she became an expert in hiding her real feelings behind an always happy, optimistic and jovial mood, even if she is not in that mood at all. She really values harmony and does not like conflicts. Towards others, Lina could be described as a helpful, warm and empathetic person, as she knows what it feels like when nobody really cares about you.
