Character Biography

Most people mistake Sera for being half Betazoid, given her rather Terran sounding name, but she is in fact mostly Betazoid. As a result, she is capable of more telepathic abilities than her half Human contemporaries. Sera is the eldest grandchild of retired Admiral Jonathan Walsh and while both her parents were civilian scientists, there are a lot of members of her family who have served in Star-fleet.

Sera quickly found her footing in medical school as a skilled surgeon as well as a talented administrator. Most of her professors were unsurprised when after two short staff assignments on ships she was immediately re-assigned as a Chief Medical Officer to the USS Infinity.

As she was raised mostly all over the galaxy, Sera is quick to not rely on her telepathy to determine her actions and would rather go on her own instinct of what is right. She has also shown an aptitude for command, though right now has chosen not to act on it. Though she has not ruled out taking that step down the road, she is happy to remain in command of her medical department and in particular is intensely interested in the next chapter of helping train the next set of medical cadets for ship duty now on the USS Challenger.
