General Overview | Aine Morgan was born to Jerome and Dinah Morgan on the Federation colony Arvada III in 2362. She was the daughter of a scientist and his wife, who happened to run the municipal system. She was always following her father around, learning as much as she could from him, for his stories were always fascinating and he had so much to teach her. Her mother would often watch them, wrapped in her blanket, hiding away. What Aine didn't realize was the truth; her mother was wasting away due to disease, one that would claim her life when Aine turned 16. By then, she was one of the top students and was accepted into the colony's science academy. While she desired to finish mapping out the star charts she had started as a child, what she really wanted was the universe at her fingertips. Seeing that the colony did not offer what she desired, she left to join Starfleet Academy. She started a year later than most cadets and while it took her extra time, she did finally complete her degree. Her greatest regret was that her mother had passed away before she could see her daughter's dream had come true. Aine is a rather introverted person, preferring solitude and darkness to chaotic activity. In fact, she can shy away from any sort of social situation and the thought of actually participating in a staff meeting has her stressed out beyond belief. She is getting to work with astrometric data, something she has always desired. She's good with computers and she's done a lot of work by hand when it comes to mapping star patterns. She prefers the old pen-and-tablet method to computers when figuring out problems. Her gifted area is advanced mathematics, able to do complex calculations by working out solutions in her head. Another subject of interest is light physics. |

Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: - Intelligent and highly-motivated, especially when working in a subject matter she holds most dear. - Independent; she can be given a task and complete it on her own without a micro-manager over her shoulder. Weaknesses: - Introverted; she finds social situations extremely awkward and has severe anxiety when she needs to actually converse and interact with people. - She can often get too invested in a subject and become quite adamant about finishing said project. She can let hours, meals and meetings pass without actually paying attention to the world around her. |
|
Ambitions | She graduated Starfleet Academy, to the delight of her grandfather, who always believed her more capable than learning her father's scientific craft on the colony. Her other ambition includes running a science department or getting to see rare astronomical phenomenon, like dark-matter nebulas or particle showers. | |
Hobbies & Interests | Hobbies: - Reading. She appreciates poetry. - Beadwork/Jewelry. She prefers to keep her hands busy when idle and finds it a way to relax her mind. - Yoga. Another method to relax her active mind and keep her body in top physical condition. Her interests include astronomy, advanced mathematics, light physics, jewelry, music (especially tribal and jazz) and poetry |
Personal History | Aine Morgan was born to her parents, Doctor Jerome Morgan and Dinah Morgan, on the Federation colony Arvada III in 2362. Her father was a scientific adviser for the colony's council and her mother ran the municipal systems as its manager. She was a daddy's girl, preferring to spend time with her father and he was quite happy to share his stories of travelers beyond the stars and his own scientific craft. He taught her to appreciate the local names of stars and constellations and she started mapping them from a very young age. As she started growing up, she attended the local school. Her parents were informed that she was having trouble concentrating and dealing with the crowded classrooms and was often bullied. They put her in advanced classes to challenge her mind and she began to excel. She started getting along with her classmates better. Aine was 16 years of age when her mother passed away. Her mother had been sick for as long as she could remember. Her mother's death pushed Aine to consider a life outside of Arvada III, as her mother had made her daughter and only child promise her that she would live her dream. And Aine was not quiet about her dream of having a universe at her fingertips. She might not be able to travel and see everything, but she would travel as much as she could. She started Starfleet Academy at the age of 20, over a full year behind other first-year cadets. Though it took her longer to finish, she excelled at her classes and fought for every grade and all of the respect she could. She got along well with one cadet, Ezra Valentine. He was a fellow science student and the two were often paired together on projects. The interest turned romantic and the pair were often seen together their last two years. She even took him home to Arvada III to meet her family. After graduation, she received a post before he did, as she was specialized in stellar cartography and he was simply a science officer. He did not take this well and their first year was a struggle with the long distance. After a year, Aine ended the relationship, hoping that he could find someone that would be able to spend more time with him and continued her work. Aine would love to remain in the astrometrics department, but knows she could branch out a bit more if she put the effort in. |
