Francesca Mulgrew

Lt. Francesca Mulgrew is the Delta Quadrant Mission Specialist aboard the USS Odyssey.
== Background ==
Frankie grew up on Earth, the only child of a single mother, in New York City. Their father divorced their mother when they were very young, and as a result, they were forced to grow up faster than their peers. In school, they were often bullied for their instinctive desire for solitude, but they were recognized as having an aptitude for sports and tactical planning. 
After graduating university, they decided to join Starfleet Tactical, as their career adviser told them to consider some form of military training, or to go into business with the Ferengi. By this time, the Starfleet Marine Corps was working alongside Starfleet Security, and she completed The Academy, and completed it as an Ensign, graduating not top, but in the top 10% of their class. Her first assignment was to the USS Atlas, whose primary mission was to patrol the outer reaches of Federation influence in the Delta Quadrant, during which the Atlas had skirmishes with some Borg, as well as Vidiians, who were still attempting to collect parts from lone vessels, and she was promoted to Lieutenant JG along the normal career promotion track, but was able to distinguish herself as being the one to provide unusual solutions to problems with other species.
After receiving their commission to Lieutenant JG, they were assigned to join the crew of the USS Benjamin Franklin, on diplomatic assignment to the Delta Quadrant, but she was assigned to provide a tactical and military perspective, having distinguished herself in the annual Starfleet Marine Corps Wargames as an unconventional thinker. They were involved in the third attempt by Starfleet to broker peace between the Kazon and the Federation, which inevitably turned ugly, and they had to save their captain from piracy, and attempted hijacking of the Ben Franklin, for which they received the rank of full Lieutenant. 
After completing their tour with the Benjamin Franklin, they received another assignment, a five-year posting to coordinate security and tactical on the USS Abraham Lincoln, on a mission to gather intel on the military capabilities of the mostly unexplored Delta Quadrsnt, which required them to work with Starfleet Intelligence, and coordinate with the various denizens of the Delta Quadrant. A lot of time their time was spent dealing with threats to Federation outposts in the Delta Quadrant, during which they developed a strong rapport with the Talaxians (by necessity), as well as established connections with Starfleet Intelligence, and did some minor work for Section 31 (on a very hush-hush basis). After returning to Earth, they noticed the Odyssey needed a Delta Quadrant Specialist, and they applied for the job.
== Appearance ==
Wiry, but strong, 170cm, 90kg. Dark brownish hair, with blonde highlights.
== Personality ==
Used to giving orders thanks to having worked with and training with SFMC, but willingly follows the chain of command and will implement the instructions of their superiors. Usually takes initiative to interpret orders and carry out the desires of their superior officers. More disciplined than usual Starfleet personnel, thanks to the Marine Corps training, but really lets loose when off duty.
== Psych Evaluation ==
A chronic people pleaser thanks to being the child of a single mother, usually tries to be the best version of whatever her bosses/peers/colleagues wants her to be, and sometimes stretches herself too thin as a result. Tendency to overwork, and overcompensates with heavy partying in the other direction. Generally a good officer, has no problem following orders or making difficult decisions (eg. sacrifice the few for the many)
== Other Information ==
* Speaks with a noticeable New York accent, has a tendency to use NY slang or channel that Brooklyn Rage at times.
