Physical

Revna is average in height with the coppery blonde hair typical of her Nordic heritage. She often wears it in double braids that are then braided together with small ornamental beads woven in. Though she is built enough to pass physical fitness tests, it is not how she spends her time.

Personality

Revna is extremely compassionate. She is a natural listener and is never quick to give advice or empty words of comfort. She believes in honoring the trust that friendship implies. Revna is the least judgmental person you can ever meet. She forms opinions slowly, but can be interfering. She tries to understand why people do what they do rather than simply judge them on what they do. She is slow to offend and anger as she always gives the person the benefit of the doubt.

Personal Information

Revna was born along the North Sea on Earth. Her family honored the traditional customs of her Nordic heritage. She was always compassionate and in the middle of any conflicts between the people around her.

She attended college to earn her degree in psychology and then joined star fleet immediately after. Her first tour of duty saw her working with officers and civilians traumatized by the Dominion War. Feeling she had inadequate knowledge or skills to help her patients, Revna returned to school to earn her doctorate and training in Trauma counseling. Once she had graduated she returned to active duty with Star Fleet to continue her work.

After being injured in the line of duty Revna spent a year and a half recuperating and then left Star Fleet to pursue a new career with the Diplomatic Corp.

Revna’s father was The Edman meaning he was the clan chief. Revna is his oldest child meaning when he stepped down Revna became the new chief. Family

Education:

Cambridge University: Attended four years to earn her Bachelor of Science in psychology her focus on general psychology and pediatric psychology.

Interests:

Revna, though having little talent, is an artist. She spent a great deal of time sketching the landscapes of the North Sea near her home on Earth. She loves the sea and chooses to take leave anywhere she can be on a boat. She likes great literature though she never takes the time to read it, but she loves movies and theater. She also has a secret love of dancing.

Revna can use any distance weapon: phaser, phaser rifle, throwing knives, slingshot, bow and arrow. She’s scary accurate for someone whose life revolves around helping people.

But Music is the passion in Revna’s soul. Her voice is often referred to by everyone in her clan as their most precious and secret of treasures. When she was injured it was the loss of music that she could never cope with. Revna only sings for family, not a performer, but her husband, Mike, has an uncanny magical ability to get her to do it. (See the section on their ‘sing off’ in the Seek and Ye Shall Find...Whether You Want To Or Not thread).

Medical:

Revna was an active child and had several injuries from that time. After becoming an adult Revna has been very healthy.

While on Centurion, Revna suffered injuries while in the line of duty. A patient, suffering from a mental break obtained a weapon. Revna stepped between him and another recovering patient. Her lungs were severely injured. She was transferred to the USS Atlantis after she was deemed healthy enough for travel. After almost a year the scar tissue on Revna’s lungs began to create severe complications for her to breath and her lungs work normally. She was transferred back to Centurion as a long term patient and finally underwent surgery to replace her damaged lungs with two artificial ones.

Psychological Profile: Revna is level headed, patient, forgiving, and excellent at reading people. She has a knack for defusing situations. She also has a very bad habit of getting physically between people. The incident of her on duty injury was not the first time she’d put herself in the middle of a tense and even dangerous situation. It was not the first time she’d been injured but the first time she had been seriously injured. Revna still suffers from flashbacks and night terrors from the incident. She prefers to avoid extremely loud and large crowds, but is working through this preference in her counseling sessions and making progress. Revna, having worked as a trauma specialist before taking a civilian job, does not avoid her sessions or try to ‘counsel herself’ rather trusting in the process and counselor.
