Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Shandis is generally easygoing, she is able to remain professional in the direst of circumstances and is able to handle herself in a fight, she was taught to fight by some of the finest minds in the Federation before and after it became an empire when Starfleet overthrew the government. As such, Shandis is a master of all aspects of combat. Shandis is well trained in general medicine believing the best approach was to be a generalist rather then a specialist, that said she is highly skilled in many areas., she also is highly skilled in survivalist strategies and skills like foraging, tracking and general hunting, she's also adept at the messier side of camp life such as skinning and gutting corpses of her prey. It should also be noted that Shandis is really a broken soul, underneath all of her armor plating, she really has a broken soul and she has no idea of how to adjust to life in this new reality, she spent years believing that she was the last of her kin and now she has more Dvalds then she had ever known existed, she is starting to connect with these people but she doesn't know how to interact with them, as she looks like Siaxx and Rhaenys. |

| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: Shandis's composure under fire has won her three separate commendations and a promotion as she is usually more reserved than most medical officers, even in the face of near-certain death, she prefers to rely on her skills and strengths and will sometimes face her weaknesses in battle. She also went to command school, thinking it would help her career so she attained the nickname of 'Ironhide' from one of the instructors as she would load up on excessive amounts of work, also her work ethic was borderline nuts as she worked hard for hours, far in excess of the normal required and since the instructor was a fan of old 20th century cartoons, she was gifted with the callsign of "Darkmoon" as in reference to Darkmoon duck. Weaknesses: Shandis has a very hard time accepting compliments for her looks, she tends to take them poorly due to a self-confidence issue. She also has some major socialization issues because of what she had endured in her home reality. |
