Lorelei Ania

Ensign Lorelei Ania is a tactical officer on the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Born on the planet Betazed to father Lyon Ania and mother Gabriella Beryl, Lorelei grew up in a moderately strict household with no other siblings. Her father was a Tactical Officer aboard one of the Akira class starships attached to the Second Fleet during the Dominion War. Lorelei admired her father, which made it no surprise that she enrolled in the Academy at 18 with the goal of graduating to be a Tactical Officer like her father. 
During her time at the Academy, she befriended a Medical student named Isabella Wells. Her demeanor during her time on campus could be noted as serious, studious and largely quiet. Most of her socializing was with her close handful of friends with her focus paying off in the form of high marks across the board. After her fourth year at the Academy, she graduated, choosing the same ship as her friend Isabelle in hopes the two would crew together. Like all Betazoids, Lorelei possesses a strong sense of empathy and limited psionic ability. Most noticeably, she is acutely keen to sensing confrontational thoughts and attempts to use this to solve conflicts before they arise and grow into larger confrontations. 
== Appearance ==
Standing at 6’4, Lorelei has a medium build with light to moderate muscle tone. She has dark, sapphire blue hair that is usually worn down in her off time, and drawn back into either a ponytail or low-sitting bun in a formal setting. Typical of full-blooded Betazoids, she has black irises and a fair complexion. She wears a simple silver ring on her left hand, middle finger that was gifted to her by her friend, Isabella Wells, at the academy. 
== Personality ==
Reserved and observant, Lorelei socializes more out of need than desire, though this is a trait she wishes to overcome as a crewmate on a vessel. Lorelei heavily respects authority and has no discernable prejudice towards other species, except ones resembling insects due to her phobia. 
== Psych Evaluation ==
Due to pressures exerted from her father and expectations of her family, Lorelei possesses an acute anxiety and lack of confidence in her choices. These traits however have not grown severe enough to noticeably impact her performance, and instead are amplified towards herself when she is alone. 
== Medical ==
Lorelei has only one known medical condition, she has an acute allergy towards pollen based plants. 
== Other Information ==
* Likes: Dogs, the color purple, useless trivia facts, and most savory dishes.
