=== Backstory ===
Aneera Deckard was intended to be a parody of Star Trek Voyager’s 7 of 9; a humorless automaton who was always spouting technobabble but had a nice rack. She didn’t really come out that way. Her name underwent numerous spelling changes… Dekkar, Decker, Deckar, DeKar… before settling on one that made a connection to her android-like demeanor. Lexington Keeler even refers to her as a "replicant" during the Battle of Terrastar.
