Physical Appearance: Tall and slender though well muscled through
training and hard work growing up on a trading ship.
Personality: Quiet and somewhat shy, but very true to her friends. She
is accepting of all xeno-species both from having adopted siblings and growing
up visiting a wide variety of worlds.
History: Atira is from a variety of ethnic heritages including British
Isles, Japan, Native American. Her height and green eyes are from a variety of
Celtic families through the centuries, but she has the angular bone structure of
the Native American (Cherokee) ancestor in her family.
Atira is especially close to TRana, who was adopted when Atira was
three-years-old.
Although Atira is certified in a number of fields useful in Starship duty.
Because of her upbringing on a space going vessel, she followed her mother into
the field of medicine, as Chahandra was a physician and researcher.
Atira entered Starfleet Academy at age 17. She was posted to the USS MARRON,
USS KiINGSTON and transferred to the USS PHOENIX as Senior Nurse.
One item of interest is that through her Japanese ancestry, she is a very
distant cousin of the well known Hikaru Sulu who served aboard the ENTERPRISE
NCC 1701.
