Personality & Traits

General Overview Eira is a quiet person who looks as though she is either in deep thought or unavailable in general, and a single look and eyebrow raise has been known to stop people from coming up to talk to her in general.

If she likes a person, which isn't all that often outside of work, Eira will go to any lengths to protect and keep them safe in honour of the ones she couldn't.

Being half Betazoid, Eira has limited telepathic abilities and can only sense the thoughts and emotions of other people/species, but chooses to keep this repressed as much as possible outside of work so as to not get overwhelmed.

Due to her past, Eira has long standing PTSD and recurring nightmares that are currently being treated with regular therapy and counselling sessions, and she has been cleared for duty despite this. As a result, she can get startled rather easily.
