She was born to parents Frederick and Iris Finch in the Falkland Islands of Earth as the last of four siblings. Although living on a beautiful island of coastal beaches, cliffs and grasslands, her home was far less organic; each floor, wall and ceiling were lined with mechanised contraptions that made for constant entertainment, and also a neverending need of repairs, all the result of her brothers and their determination to become mechanical geniuses. | She was born to parents Frederick and Iris Finch in the Falkland Islands of Earth as the last of four siblings.

Although she too dabbled and tinkered with machines and robots —— being particularly skilled with shuttlecraft and anything that moves —— she was more family oriented than her brothers and preferred to make the most out of her youth, enjoying adventures with friends and helping to care for her family and their house in whatever fashion that took. She was skilled at engineering just as they all were, particularly good at fixing things rather than inventing them like Wallace, but her interest in the subject fell to the wayside sometime around the death of her father whose passing sent their mother, Iris, into a deep and dark depression for many years to come.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/SWGhnQqB_XE "Written in Stone"], | Although she too dabbled and tinkered with machines and robots —— being particularly skilled with shuttlecraft and anything that moves —— she was more family oriented than her brothers and preferred to make the most out of her youth, enjoying adventures with friends and helping to care for her family and their house in whatever fashion that took.

Eventually each brother left to become Starfleet Engineers, and in doing so abandoned their responsibility to care for their rapidly deteriorating mother who had delved into agoraphobia. This signalled the beginning of a distance between the siblings, and a notable divide between Doz and Wallace, one that would see them grow apart as the years went on. But the one true source of support who remained behind was Murphy who did all he could to ensure that Doz not only had a friend but also a person she could rely on. Piling together their own talents in engineering, they continued to maintain and fix all of the contraptions stood around the family home, and even went as far as to lending their skills to those in the neighborhood, to stay as busy as they could. | Eventually each brother left to become Starfleet Engineers, and in doing so abandoned their responsibility to care for their rapidly deteriorating mother who had delved into agoraphobia.

After graduating the Officer Candidate School, she was reassigned to the [[USS Gorkon]] as an Engineering Officer under the Command of Vice Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]. Immediately thrown into action, she was tasked with piloting the USS Azetbur, the USS Gorkon's primary shuttle, down onto the "Rogue Planet" that threatened the destruction of the Tyrellian moon, Palanon. After navigating wild kaleidoscopic clouds, the shuttle was successfully landed in a zone where Lt. Commander [[Alieth]] and Lieutenant [[Corliss Fortune]] waited for her. Once introductions were made, and the main objective explained, Doz suggested that they used the Azetbur's onboard scanners to aid them in the search for underground tunnels. Once discovered, the team made their way through crumbling tunnels weighed down by yellow waters thrashing above, and after some creative engineering, broke into a patchworked ship that held a number of refugees. Once secured inside again, Alieth and Fortune left to heave the old freighter up and out using the Azetbur, whilst Doz remained inside, ensuring that every individual was securely strapped in. Though challenging as it was, they managed to exit the planets atmosphere moments before it zipped away. | After graduating the Officer Candidate School, she was reassigned to the [[USS Gorkon]] as an Engineering Officer under the Command of Vice Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].

As months went on, Doz and many other officers throughout the ship were pulled into a strange shared dream experience, known as "Skarbek", which initiated her second mission with the Gorkon——though she wouldn't know it at the time. In this alternate reality, she was known as "[[Doz Finch/Skarbek|Gramma]]", a cold and rather dour woman who lended her skills to a Maquis group, mostly to escape the clutches of her nemesis, Norström (who in the real world was actually her best friend who had died some years before: [[Murve Norström]]). An ex prison convict, "Gramma" worked with [[Tahna Meru/Skarbek|Lark]] ([[Tahna Meru]]), [[Alieth/Skarbek|N'Alieth]] ([[Alieth]], [[Seva Reeshe]] and a Bajoran man named Imul, in attempting to recruit civilians to their cause, hoping to build up a resistance and eventually beat the Cardassians who had taken over the colony of Witherington. | As months went on, Doz and many other officers throughout the ship were pulled into a strange shared dream experience, known as "Skarbek", which initiated her second mission with the Gorkon——though she wouldn't know it at the time.

Going from warehouse to a farm barn and then onto another warehouse, in a relentless neverending rain, tensions were high. After taking out two guards, Gramma, Lark and Imul ran quickly inside and collected a number of supplies, namely medical, with the intention of returning them back to the barn. It was here that Doz (as Gramma) suggested stealing a Cardassian shuttle from a landing pad outside, feeling it was not only the most practical means of transferring the items they had collected, but also slightly for herself, so that an escape route was always there and feasible should she need it. Though reluctant at first, Lark eventually agreed to the idea. Once they had scaled the innards of the warehouse and escaped to the landing pad, they found themselves in the sight of a worker, and in a quick flash, Gramma pushed Imul into him, believing him capable of handling it, and so that their window of opportunity was not lost. Although he did indeed win the fight, it also created a disconnect between him and the others——though mainly Gramma——and any trust he had for them severed from then on. | Going from warehouse to a farm barn and then onto another warehouse, in a relentless neverending rain, tensions were high.
