Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Calista is generally quiet and takes time to open up to new people. She tries to keep her work life and personal life separate which isn't always the easiest in Starfleet. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | A talented doctor with a background in trauma surgery and infectious disease she's found her skills well used on Starfleet's front line. Opposed to violence except when it's absolutely necessary she maintains only a high enough phaser qualification for activity duty but is skilled in krav maga. She's cool-headed in crisis but can seem distance form those she works with. | |
| Ambitions | With an older sister commanding a starship the idea of trading in her scrubs for a red collar has crossed her mind more than once. For now, she's happy as CMO of a starship. She has also considered turning to teaching and settling down on solid ground. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Reading especially murder mysteries, thrillers, and the odd romance novel. She enjoys hiking but only if it's the real thing, and was one of the top-ranked tennis players during her time at the academy. |
| Personal History | Born in 2360, the second child of a pair of disgusted Trill Doctors she was raised along with her older sister Elewisse, in the Capital. From a young age, her parents instilled in her that she and her sister were expected to achieve great things. The pressure during her formative years meant she isolated herself from friends in order to study and achieve the marks her sister seemed to achieve with much less effort. Accepted into Starfleet Medical school Calista left Trill for Earth, the wound of the Dominion war were healing and Starfleet was pivoting back to exploration. Completing her med school she was accepted into the residency program and Wowemi General, a prestigious hospital and medical college on Denobula. Her two years here saw her earn commendation from her instructors, at the completion of her residency she turned down a chance to remain wanting to finally serve on a starship. Her older sister had shot up the ranks and despite only being in her late 20s was already serving as the XO of a frigate on the front lines. Aspirations of command, while not entirely lost on the young doctor, didn't hold the same allure as practicing medicine in the deep unexplored reaches of space. Her first ship posting was aboard the Galaxy-class USS Providence, deployed with Deep Space Task Force 14 the ship spent two years on the 'far' side of Romulan space. Under the command of Captain Bezitrix, the first Benzite Captain in Starfleet. The Providence charted huge swaths of unexplored space and made first contact with more than a dozen new races. In 2386 the ship returned from its mission, while she loved exploration she also wanted to further her medical training and was accepted into an infectious disease fellowship at Starbase 482, which also served as a key Starfleet Medical centre along the Cardassian border region. In 2388 she was made Assistant Chief aboard the USS Vauxhall. The Cruiser spent two years along the Klingon border helping to fly the flag and keep a tense alliance with the Klingons. In 2394 the Vauxhall went in for a minor refit to prepare her for deep space assignment in the Gamma Quadrant. Aereen joined the crew of the Intrepid-class USS Tro'jor, the ship named for a major Andorian city was near the end of her life. She spent most of her time between core worlds ferrying dignitaries and coordinating training. She served as the flagship for Rear Admiral Kylaor Benic, and hadmore than two dozen cadets as part of her crew. The experience made Aereen long for the deep space exploration she had experienced, but she enjoyed the chance to teach fresh-faced future doctors. In 2395 she requested a transfer and was assigned as Chief aboard the USS Hornet. |
