Nurse Anise Freeman

Born and raised in San Francisco, Anise Freeman started as a paramedic and trauma nurse, before gaining further certification at King’s College in London, England. She then returned to her home city and joined Starfleet. Between her career and studies, she had two husbands. The first passed away not long after their marriage, and her second divorced her as their relationship did not work out, with Anise still being distraught at the loss of her first husband. 

Professionally speaking, she was a very level-headed nurse, with a stern, but gentle demeanor. As head nurse of the Eridani, she can be quite strict about certain procedures. She and Dr. McCoy worked very well together, employing a good-cop, bad-cop procedure with more reluctant patients. Like many nurses, she was very devoted to her job and neglected self-care, frequently using her time off to indulge in drinks. 

At the start of the Eridani's 5 year mission, she was 36 years old. Family-wise, she had a younger brother and a nephew she loved very much, Alonzo.

OH MY GOSH A MILLION TIMES YES!! (This is a weird note but for some reason this reminded me of how Ponyo evolves from a fish to a girl through weird chicken-frog phases, idk.) I think I’ve seen others (or wikis) mention Betazoid eyesight being different from humans in terms of night vision (like frogs), and maybe field of view is wider, but they evolved to handle similar-to-human typical lighting when they evolved to remain primarily on land?? Maybe this also has some sort of connection to how their REM is reached at a different frequency than humans??

Side note I’ve found the home planet is called Cyndriel by the Betazoid people!

Thank you guys for contributing to this!

Hi! First off I want to say I love your analyses of Vulcan culture and pieces regarding Vulcan language, etc. it’s always so well-thought out and interesting to read/consider!! I’m also a huge fan of your writing in general <3. I was wondering, though, if you’ve ever given any thought to Betazoid culture and religion, or even language? Although there’s mention of the Four Deities and some cultural (religious??) artifacts, as well as seemingly matriarchal Houses, there doesn’t seem to be much info in terms of specifics or what the polytheistic belief system on Betazoid might actually entail- and I’ve seen a handful of Betazoid words, but not much in the way of language or language structure, so I basically was just curious as to whether you had any thoughts or headcanons on any of this! Sorry for such a long ask lol

Oh man, that's so interesting to think of! I really don't know a thing about Betazoids though.

I have a couple headcanons, like that they didn't use language at all before their first contact, or that they are naturally pretty upbeat and non aggressive (which is why they don't shield their telepathy like Vulcans do—no dark feelings to hide).

But I'm fairly certain beta canon would nix the first one, because supposedly Betazoids don't develop telepathy till adolescence. (Though I don't like that—they are so relaxed in their use of it that it feels like they must have it from the beginning.)

I also think Betazed is an exonym—something humans assigned them from the Greek alphabet. Which would mean their own name for themselves might be quite different! That is, if they called themselves anything at all before meeting humans.

So in short: I've got nothing, but maybe somebody else who sees this might know something?

Request of Dr Ratio idk this guy but here he is

Is it better to die from the consequences of your own hubris, or to be forced to live with them?

Sketch of my Queen Janice

Lieutenant junior-grade, Demora Sulu, helmsman

Daughter of Captain Hikaru Sulu of the U.S.S. Excelsior, Demora Sulu was born on March 24 2273. A bright and enthusiastic young crew member, her family ties made her close with many members of the crew of the NCC-1701 Enterprise. Her father, of course, but also Lieutenant Pavel Chekov, whom she considered as an uncle, as well as Nyota Uhura, who was named as her godmother. She was a close friend to Anton Pavlovich Chekov, and was secretly a bit disappointed that he decided to pursue a career in the junior ambassadorial corp rather than Starfleet. 

After graduating from Starfleet Academy in 2293, she was assigned as helmsman of the Enterprise-B on its launch. Having been on board during its disastrous rescue attempt of the El-Aurian ship and accident with the temporal energy ribbon was a very difficult experience for her. Following this event, Saavik also got closer to Demora, having only briefly met her at gatherings of the old Enterprise crew that they both happened to attend. 

Not only is Demora used to feeling like she has big shoes to fill due to her father’s success, but this experience at the helm during such an accident made her lose some confidence in her skills when she was assigned as helmsman of the U.S.S. Eridani as a lieutenant junior-grade in 2296, aged 23. Captain Saavik, having been a helmsman herself not so long before, often tried to be reassuring or to give words of encouragement that Demora is doing the right thing. As the mission of the Eridani progressed, she became more confident in herself, her skills and the path that she wanted to take.

She quickly developed a close friendship with navigator Wane Perry, whom she had met at the Academy and shared a few classes with. 

Her father taught her fencing, and she liked antique weapons. In her quarters was also a small habitat to a neutered pet tribble, gifted by her aunt Nyota.
