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.

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.

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).

Back Story

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.

The night she and her twin sister were brought home to the village Shawn, 4 years old, saw her and never left her side after that. Growing up she and Shawn were inseparable. They were always together, always around. It was no surprise that they intended to marry. Shawn was going to enter Star Fleet and Revna was going to become a counselor. She would work on Earth when she couldn’t go with him on his duty assignments. When she was 16 tragedy struck. Earth was attacked by the Breen. Shawn was one of the fighters deployed to defend Earth. Shawn was lost when his fighter was destroyed. He had just enough time to send her one last message. Revna wouldn’t receive it until many many years later.

Lost in grief and unsure of what to do with her life after that, Revna followed their plan. She attended college to earn her degree in psychology and then joined Star Fleet immediately after to carry on Shawn’s dream of serving. Her first tour of duty saw her working with officers and civilians traumatized by the Dominion War. Revna returned to Cambridge after serving two years of active duty. She took an educational sabbatical so that she could further her degree in order to better help the patients she was working with. She graduated with a PhD in Psychiatry with a focus on Trauma counseling.

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.

It was right before Revna was sent back to the Centurion for treatment that she met Michael McKenzie. On a bet she went on a date with him despite her better judgment. She knew he was interested, but she also knew she was leaving soon to undergo her surgery. Revna couldn’t help herself though. She liked him, she was drawn to the outrageous bartender/retired punk rocker. She hadn’t felt like that about anyone since Shawn. Revna and Mike talked frequently while she was gone. After the surgery Revna told Mike that she wanted to leave Star Fleet and pursue her own path and not Shawn’s. After that things became strained between them. They stopped talking. Revna ended up taking a job in the Delta quadrant with the Diplomatic Corp.

However, the fates had no intention for their story to end there. With some prodding and help from Revna’s twin and Mike’s best friend, Mike arrived in the Delta quadrant before Revna. They were married soon after. Revna served two years on the Manhattan as a diplomatic attache. She retired from the service to spend the rest of her life focusing on Mike and their clan.

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. Mike was also the heir to the chiefdom of Clan McKenzie in Scotland. After much internal turmoil, Mike took his position as chief and Mike and Revna merged their clans. The combined clans are now embarking on their newest adventure. They are moving to Oed V to help bring the planet back to life.
