| Physical Description | A woman of middling height, slender build, and Caucasian features, Natalya is often seen as the epitome of casual efficiency by her peers. She has chestnut brown hair that is almost always worn down, falling to her shoulders, and eyes the color of duranium hull plating. She’s attractive by the standards of her kind, but other than that there is little about her that would cause her to stand out in a crowd. Natalya cares little for fashion trends, and aside from having a few daring outfits she favors traditional styles and seems more than content wearing a uniform every day; Starfleet dress codes are certainly in line with her taste, and her tailored jumpsuits compliment her figure far better than most of her wardrobe anyway. Body Art Natalya has no tattoos or distinguishing body markings, natural or otherwise. She's been known to fancy a bit of lipstick and eye shadow to enhance her appearance, but rarely to a degree that would warrant a second glance. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Smooth and refined, Natalya has an air of experience and professionalism about her. She usually presents herself as a by-the-books officer to those she is unfamiliar with, but is willing to loosen up and build rapports with those around her. This approach makes her seem affable to a broad variety of people and personality types, but it also makes her seem rather two-faced to those who don’t see as much of her good side. Since becoming an administrator in her field, Natalya has more or less let go of the routine maintenance tasks in her department, leaving the hands-on work to her subordinates as she focuses on managing the big picture; to the casual observer she may seem lazy, and all too willing to pass unwanted tasks down the line, but in truth she always puts in a full day’s work… even if much of it happens to be spent at her office desk. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths Natalya has over a decade of experience as a Starfleet engineer, primarily aboard large cruisers. Holding a doctorate in engineering as well as her commissioned rank, she’s all too willing to assert her authority among her peers, and if need be, get her hands dirty if it means getting the job done. Even though her duties require a strong intellect more than anything else, Natalya is also quite healthy and physically fit; she has little problem keeping up with those straight out of the academy. Weaknesses Despite her experience in engineering, Natalya doesn’t have much to offer in terms of other realms of expertise. And though she’s physically fit, she has yet to put serious effort into self-defense techniques and martial arts. Personally, Natalya tends to be a bit of a pacifist… even when it comes to space combat: the thought of putting holes in a perfectly good starship is nearly unthinkable to her. This mentality may hinder her future efforts toward pursuing command opportunities, should that become her goal. |
|
| Ambitions | Having already more or less achieved the goals she’d set for herself, Natalya is not fully sure about what to do with her future. While she continues to enjoy her career in Starfleet and the lifestyle it entails, she knows that she stands near a critical nexus in her life. On one path Natalya can continue on as a Starfleet engineer, but she knows that unless she dares step foot into the realm of command, any prospects of future advancement are dim. On the other hand, she could give up her nomadic lifestyle and settle down with a quiet professorship, or job in research and development; the prestige either job would entail hardly seems worth settling for a sedentary life though. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Natalya is a woman of few active and demanding interests. She doesn’t enjoy most sports or athletic activities, games of strategy and chance tend to annoy her, and she’s never seemed to have the knack for creative expressions like music and art. Natalya has running and swimming routines to stay in shape, but she sees both as solitary habits, and not really recreational activities to compete with others. After her shifts she tends to seek solace in quiet, relaxing forms of entertainment, like reading and listening to music. All in all, many of her peers would see her as a rather boring person with an overly regimented lifestyle. Vernacular Natalya is usually soft spoken unless the situation demands otherwise. She favors casual speech and layman's terms unless she purposefully wants to drown someone in technical jargon, a tactic usually only reserved for ensigns new to the fleet. Many find her lack of a regional dialect surprising, as if she should have a noticeable Russian accent because of her name.
