:* '''Species-Specific''': She displays the typical [[Kriosian]] spot pattern, which runs from her temples to the back of her neck and down to a point about midway along her spine. This pattern looks similar to and is often mistaken as that of the [[Trill]]; however, Kriosian spots are typically more subtle in their contrast to the overall skin tone and do not continue down across the front of the chest and along the lower limbs.

:* '''Scars/Physical Trauma''': Rahman was seriously injured in 2383 from a major accident that occurred aboard the USS ''Tempest''. She required lengthy rehabilitation at [[Medical Starbase 253]], and her Kriosian physiology was not as responsive to standard dermal regeneration treatment. She has a set of scars on the left side of her face that run across her cheekbone. Her left arm was so badly damaged from exposure to [[ma:plasma coolant|plasma coolant]] that the medical team initially feared they would need to replace it with a prosthetic. They were ultimately able to salvage the limb and restore function through the use of myoelectric implants to supplement destroyed nerve and muscle tissue. Her fourth and fifth fingers on her left hand were amputated and replaced with mechanical substitutes. With the loss of muscle mass, her left upper limb is noticeably thinner than her right, appearing as if there is minimal flesh over the bones with extensive scarring remaining all along her left hand, arm, and shoulder. She normally keeps these areas covered, with only the scars and mechanical fingers of her left hand remaining as hints of the past trauma.

Rahman was a gifted student in her primary and secondary education. In particular, one of her teachers noted, she "displayed extreme intuition about all things mechanical." Although neither of her adopted parents were in Starfleet or had a family history in the service, Rahman chose to attend Starfleet Academy for the chance to work with the latest developments in starship engineering.

After completing her undergraduate education at the academy's Beta Ursae Minor II campus in 2378, she stayed for an additional two years to earn her master's degree in engineering. She then served on two vessels, the ''Shanghai'' and the ''Tempest'', as an engineering officer.
