Ensign JG Rana Apar

Rana is average-sized for a human woman. She wears her straightened, auburn hair, which reaches to the middle of her back, down most of the time. Her tanned skin colour makes her look to be Italian, but she speaks with an unmistakeable Scottish accent.

Rana graduated high school and immediately enrolled in Oxford University. However, after a year there, she decided to drop out because she believed that University wasn't for her.

Rana was born and raised in the Hebride Islands of Northern Scotland. She is the older of a set of twins; the younger of which, her brother, works on a merchant ship. Both of her parents are scientists who work for a branch of the Science Council.

Rana wandered around for a year, working odd jobs here and there, until she reached San Francisco. It was then that she decided to join Starfleet.

Stardate 2406.11.12 Assigned to USS Paladin as Asst.Tactical Chief with the rank of Ensign (jg)

Rana has exceptionally good aim with a phaser, which inspired her to pursue a career in Security.

Rana likes to do things with her hands, whether it be target practice with a phase rifle, or arts and crafts.

When you first meet Rana, she seems to be secretive, determined and charismatic. Others find her utterly seductive but they are also usually rather wary of her. She also has a tendency to explore and understand the dark side of life. She can come across as rather sharp at times, however. However, upon getting to know her better, she shows you that she actually is outgoing, colourful, flamboyant, warm hearted attention seeking, if somewhat unrealistic at times. She loves being the centre of attention in any situation and is a born entertainer. She adores fun, laughter, romance, a mad social whirl, children, sport and centre stage. She likes being boss as long as she's not expected to do too many practical chores. Underneath her confident exterior lies a more insecure personality which can make her over dependent on other people's praise. Humility is not her strong point and she needs to watch a tendency to sulking when everything does not go her way. However, she can also be zany, quirky, rebellious, idiosyncratic and downright eccentric at times, often just to make a point. She loves startling companions, making provocative statements just to stir up the atmosphere and test their reaction. Underneath her bravado, however, lurks a sense of insecurity about one to one relationships. Too much togetherness makes her nervous. As far as she is concerned there is safety in numbers. She always keeps her friends even after settling into a steady long term partnership. Lovers have to be pals, and willing to let her wander. At the first whiff of jealousy and possessiveness she is off. She tends to think about her feelings, rather than plunging into them so he sometimes comes across as too impersonal and detached.
