Katie Chaffee

Lt. JG Katie Chaffee is the quartermaster on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Katie Chaffee was born on October 15th, 2390, to a Starfleet Lieutenant Commander (father) who taught Strategic Theory at the academy (her father), and a professor of History at a University (mother). Her childhood was relatively normal, and she often visited the academy on her days off from school. With this early exposure to Starfleet, and the love of history, including that of Starfleet, encouraged by her mother, Katie decided very early on she wanted to be an officer of the famed organization. Due to her career goal, she worked extremely hard throughout high school, though to the detriment of her social skills, as she became extremely focused on schoolwork in order to maintain good grades. However, she did make a few friends participating in Model United Federation of Planets (Think Model UN, but Star Trek lol).
To her joy, she was accepted to the Academy, after graduating from high school and performed reasonably well in her classes, making a few friends. However, due to her workload of four specialist academy courses, she wasn’t able to spend as much time with them as she would have liked, but nonetheless did whatever she could to hang out with her friends while at the academy. She originally wanted to become a Tactical Officer, but on a cadet cruise, she was assigned first as comms officer, then quartermaster for the duration of the cruise, and developed a fondness for logistics and the other trades of the Operations Division.
After graduating from the academy, she has served in numerous operations billets, including Quartermaster on the USS Kongo and Akagi, (NCC-11914 and NCC-11921 respectivelu) and as an administrative assistant to Starbase 48’s Portmaster. When she saw the available posting on the Odyssey for Quartermaster, she immediately applied, and was accepted to the position.
== Appearance ==
Katie stands about 5’5, and has greyish-green eyes. Her hair is brown, and she often wears it short, with it just touching her shoulders in a “bob” fashion. She also has bangs reaching just below her eyebrows. To top it off, she unusually wears glasses, this is due to an allergy for Retinax V (Vision Correction drug).
== Personality ==
Katie is very much an introvert, and would be regarded by some as a pushover, and easily pressured by friends. However, she often does manage to stand up for herself, though against friends, it is difficult. Though she is pretty shy, she is easy to win the trust and confidence of, and is more open to them. She is very much a creature of habit, often seen drinking her coffee the same way, or wearing her hair the same way.
Some of Katie’s habits and hobbies might be considered eccentric. Due to her intense passion for the history of Starfleet, she is very interested in the 2260s era Starfleet, and often builds models of the various ships of the era. She also likes other historical eras, and often does holodeck programs set in the past.
