GENERAL INFORMATION
- Personality: Friendly, personable, good sense of humor, emotional to some extent, and has excellent communication skills. She is not afraid of taking on anything new as long as it holds her interest. Anything that does not present a good challenge is deemed boring. She is competitive by nature, and her favorite thing to do involves verbal sparring.
- Personal Assessment: "I am a 'loner' - unconventional by most standards. I enjoy solitude, but know that is not always possible." In spite of it, her Southern hospitality comes natural and is evident in the way she accepts new people.
- Personal Beliefs: "I believe that people are like fledgling birds. Some stand around flapping their wings, reluctant to leave the nest. Some take off running and fall to the ground. And some go to the edge of the nest, flap their wings and take flight, catching the first breeze and begin to soar. And oh, how I love the solitude of soaring."
- Pet Peeves: Toni doesn't care for "pet" names when it comes to romance. Any suitor referring to her as sugar, honey, sweetheart, babe or names like that, may as well hang it up as he already has three strikes against him.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
- Married to Major Heath West]] on 238507.15 - Courtship and Marriage
- Their marriage produced two children, Vee by adoption, and Garth by natural birth. Vee and Garth's Godparents: Major Dade Adarnis(Heath's best friend) and Lt. Commander T'Lea (who was like a sister to Toni). Unfortunately, their three-year marriage dissolved due to Kerelian Law marriage dictate, and the fact that Heath was MIA presumed dead. For the sake of their children, Toni had to move on with her life, but knew she would always love him and carry him in her heart.
- Under the command of Major Heath West, Wallace took it upon himself to help his grieving widow, and having too much to drink one night, they awakened to find that they had slept together. Realing it was not meant to happen, they decided to just stay away from each other from then on. Little did they know, that one night would produce a pregnancy, and wanting to do the right thing for the child, they considered marriage, but later, Toni lost the baby, and Wallace and Turner parted company for good. And later, when Heath was found alive, she reconciled with him.
Just when Toni thought she would concentrate on her career and children, and love would pass her by, until a spooky Halloween night prove her wrong. Dressed as Helen of Troy, she met her Paris, each not knowing who the other one was, but before they could reveal their identities, they lost sight of each other. However, she had hopes that they would someday meet again, and they did. Tallis & Toni's Marriage: 239003.17
After her marriage to Ambassador Tallis Rhul, a Bajoran, Toni maintained the name as Toni Turner professionally, but when accompanying her husband, she used a name more fitting for Rhul's Bajoran heritage - Tallis Antonia. Unfortunately, and officially, Ambassador Tallis Rhul was killed defending Til'ahn from a Bluegill infestation that came through an ancient Iconian Gateway, ending their seven-month marriage. Toni was two months pregnant at the time of his death. That pregnancy produced a daughter, Breeana Turner-Tallis.
When Toni joined Starfleet, she had hopes of living "happily ever after" with someone she loved, and have a career too, but that was the one thing Starfleet and the Marines has yet to (as evidenced in the timeline below). Toni has fulfilled her duel career instead as CO and Mother of three.

PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION
After graduation from Starfleet Academy, Toni was assigned to her first post as a counselor at the Embassy on Duronis II. It wasn't long before the CMO noticed that she had an aptitude for a career as a Medical Officer and began training her to take over his job when he retired. The more she learned the more she wanted to learn, so she enrolled into a correspondence course studying for her degree and interning under the CMO's direction. Most things she learned from watching him, and when he retired, she stepped into the role of CMO, but kept up her studies until she had enough credits to become a full fledged Doctor of Medicine. It was during this time of learning that Toni realized that she could accomplish anything, as long as she wanted it bad enough.
In 2388, immediately after the Destruction of Romulus and Remus, rioting broke out as anti-Romulan protesters took to the streets in an attempt to drive Romulan forces from the planet. The Romulan Ambassador was recalled to help with more pressing diplomatic issues elsewhere, but a number of Romulan operatives remained in control of government ministries. The Laudeans, having watched their culture deteriorate during their alliance with the Romulans, took the opportunity to contact the Federation, inviting them back to Duronis II for protection from renegade Romulans, the fragmented Tal Shiar, or any other opportunistic species that could endanger their culture. The Federation agreed, and sent the crew of USS Thunder, captained by Toni Turner, to reopen the Embassy, and serve as its staff. This could not have pleased Toni more, as it had always been her desire to return to the Embassy as Captain of her own ship. She had learn to love the planet, and it's people, and felt at home there.
By the time the USS Thunder arrived, the Laudeans had ousted the remaining Romulans, and had taken over the Federation Embassy for their own office use. Prime Minister Ahishma Chandra, now back in office, gave the Federation representatives, the newly renovated Romulan Embassy instead as insurance that the Romulans would not try to reoccupy it.
