Rand is tall and graceful, with long red hair and rich golden brown eyes.

Personality
Rand has always wanted to visit the stars, but she’s not great at science or engineering, and is a bit too soft hearted to be much good as a security officer. What is she good at? Regulations. Remembering them, implementing them, and how to get around them. The perfect Yeoman. She’s organized and efficient and ten steps ahead of where she needs to be, and therefore the captain is always prepared.

Personal Information

Her brother has gone on record as saying “In starfleet it shouldn’t matter what uniform someone wears. After all, if my twin can look great in a dress, I don’t see why I can’t either. And if you ask me? I’ve got nicer legs anyways.” Periodically he’ll use makeup to accentuate his features but it’s not his norm and he prefers to reserve it for special occasions. This attitude not only caused Rand a great deal of humor but also frustration. Her response is usually , “But I’ve got the better figure.” Rand and Randy embrace their Scottish heritage as much as possible, wearing the Farquharson clan colors when off duty and most often speaking in Scottish Gaelic between the two of them.

Education:

Before Academy

Standard primary and secondary school. The last two years of Secondary she took classes at Stirling university on performing arts and cultural studies. Rand was very talented, able to memorize lines with almost photographic accuracy. Her portrayal of characters was moving and believable. She did not finish because even though she was amazing at it she talked herself out of it. She always wanted to go to the stars and the life of an intergalactic actress was not the life she wanted and she convinced herself that her social anxiety would interfere. Her brother postulates that in fact she would have excelled because playing a part is very controlled; there are clear protocols while on stage between the actors and the audience.

During Academy

Rand trained as a ship’s Yeoman and then specifically to be command staff and Captain’s yeoman during her academy years. She is proficient in protocol, first contact, and diplomatic procedures.
