Character Biography

Aiofemi Tamika Oshiro and her brother Zacharias Hachirō Oshiro were born and grew up on USS Majestic. Aiofemi was born on May 11, when she was an infant her father, Hoshi, who was Chief of Security on the USS Majestic, was tragically killed on an away mission, when he ingested a poisonous felodesine chip. After Hoshi’s death, their mother Imani, raised them as a single parent and continued working on the Majestic as a medical officer (nurse).
When Aiofemi was 10 years old, the Majestic was destroyed in battle, she and her brother, who was 15 at the time, barely escaped with few of the ship’s surviving crew. Their mother, who was always true to her duties as a Starfleet officer, stayed behind to help the wounded and ultimately perished with the ship.
Being the children of deceased Starfleet officers, who passed away in the line of duty, they were taken care of by Starfleet and fostered by a high-ranking Starfleet Vulcan officer, Sidiq and his family, which included his wife T’Miri and their two sons, Sampson and Sanzi. Sidiq once served as Hoshi’s commanding officer and in the long run became good friends with the family.
Sidiq and his family treated Aiofemi and Zacharias well, like they had always been a part of their family and raised them through the rest of their childhood. As result, Aiofemi learned to speak Vulcan and some of the dialects of Romulan. Although the family did not practice or raise the children with traditional Vulcan ways 100% of the time, she learned them out of curiosity and wanting to know more about her new family.
After graduating from primary school Aiofemi attended Starfleet Medical Academy and focused on two specific areas, Medicine/Surgery, Xenobiology and Astrobiology. Her decision to go into the medical field was a tribute to her late mother and she worked diligently for 4 years as a nurse and then 5 years as a doctor on the USS Honshu where she met her husband, a half Human/Klingon man who worked alongside her as a doctor. They were married on the Honshu in an informal ceremony. However, the marriage lasted less than a year, leaving Aiofemi a one-time divorcee with no children. After the end of her marriage, she transferred to the USS Endeavour where she worked for two years before she was promoted to Chief Medical Officer, a position she worked for three years before she was offered an opportunity to go to OED V as the Medical Director. After some consideration, she accepted the offer because she realized that although she would not be caring for patients in the same capacity as she had done before, she would be able to work with the Governor and Lt. Governor of OED V to expand medical access for the citizens and lobby the government for more favorable and comprehensive benefits on behalf of the medical professionals at Sacred Heart Hospital. It was a highly political position, one she had not initially seen herself in at any point in her career but it presented an opportunity for her to do something beyond the scope of just providing medical care and relief to those that were ailing. She could also support others and be an advocate for those beings skilled in providing those services.

In addition to being able to speak Vulcan and Romulan, Aiofemi is also fluent in Klingon and can conversationally speak in High Orion. She is close to her family, especially her brother Zacharias, who attended the Science Academy along with their younger adopted brother Sanzi and majored in genetics. Both currently teach at the Science Academy. The older brother, Sampson, also attended Starfleet academy and majored in aerodynamics, and is now Chief of Engineering on the USS Yolja. Aiofemi often goes to visit her family when she is on shore leave in San Francisco and in between missions.
Aiofemi is pretty, with a well-maintained figure, and has a demure personality. Her skin tone is a caramel brown with a few freckles on the bridge of her nose, jet black thick shoulder length loopy curly hair, and almost black and slightly slanted eyes revealing her Japanese ancestry from her biological father’s side.
