Toki Kuze

## **Appearance**

Toki is a tall and lanky girl, with ginger hair cut into a fluffy bob and light brown eyes. Upon her nose sit a few ridges, which she's slightly self-conscious of and you will sometimes see her covering them with makeup. On her ears, she's only ever seen with Human-style earrings, never Bajoran ones. She has long legs compared to her torso, and has a slim, mostly curveless frame.

## **Personality**

Toki is very curious, and will bombard people with every question that she believes won't offend them, though she sometimes struggles to gauge offensive and inoffensive questions. She's interested in everything, even the most useless pieces of trivia. However, she's also a bit embarrassed by her heritage, considering it made her stand out quite a bit in her rural hometown, as well as feeling out of place among her own people, with customs and a language she can't understand. However, she does seek to find out more about it and satisfy the curiosity she's had since she was a little child.

### **Ambitions**

She doesn't really have a set goal, more like a bucket list of them. They are many, but among them are witnessing a first contact, making alien friends, and (though she won't tell her mother about this) eventually visit Bajor and find out where she came from. Though getting promotions and climbing up would be cool, that's not her main goal.

### **Morals**

She doesn't like lying, even if she needs to, and she's not likely to do it successfully. She's not happy about violence either - Besides the obvious moral objections, there's too much to learn with everyone to risk losing all that!

## **History**

Toki was born in Bajor, but she didn't stay there long: Before her first birthday, she and her mother had already settled on Earth. Once there, her mother sought to eliminate any vestiges of her past life, finding it too painful to remember after both the brutality and poverty she saw. Faith, culture and language, none of it was taught to the little child. The effects came early: a toddler Toki would come home, asking incessantly why she had a wrinkly nose and her buddies didn't, why people checked if she had an earring, why, why, why?

And she would be simply ignored. A swift change of topic, perhaps a mumbled “Mommy doesn't want to talk about that now, sweetie” and that was it. Not one to give up on learning so easily, Toki would press on, asking more and more, only to get put on timeouts in response. And so was her childhood, a neverending list of questions that were never answered… Until she just gave up, at least externally. If she was to never receive an answer, it can't be so important, can it?

Outside home, Toki's life was normal, or as normal as a girl as clever and incessantly curious could be: No matter how dangerous it might have seemed, Toki was always there to explore, but thankfully, she was never hurt more than a few scrapes and cuts, and she always brought some friends along in her adventures who ended up sharing the blame.

But Toki kept on, making friends, and most importantly for her, learning, learning and learning. When late teens rolled in, her unending curiosity became the leading factor in her decision of a career.

Starfleet: Where so many new discoveries were made, it would be the prime place to hang out. But she didn't want to obsess over a single topic, she was more a jack of all trades. And so, she applied for the Academy, aiming for Operations, more specifically Security: after all, what could be cooler than protecting the people who study the new stuff, and learning some of that too?!...

Toki was a good student, a very gregarious one: She always had some obscure knowledge, though it wasn't always very pertinent to the situation. Some saw her as a know-it-all, but most either didn't mind or liked her curiosity. Toki had few struggles during her studies, and could have done even better had she been a little more focused on a few topics. Nevertheless, she stayed consistently as a slightly above average student.

And four years later, came her graduation and first posting aboard a vessel: the brand new USS Arcadia, and of course she had to read everything about the new Luna-class as well as the crew's previous posting aboard the Raging Bull. Now that it has departed, Toki is eager to learn everything her journey has to offer.

## **Trivia**

* She does have a Bajoran earring that used to be her mother's, but it's never been worn and is kept in a box in Toki’s quarters.
* She's often called Tots by her friends.
* Toki has kept journals since her preteens, where she writes down everything she learns, and sometimes her daydreams and shower thoughts.

### **Likes**

* Books, especially nonfiction ones of random subjects. Biology, History, even Warp Theory can be found in her quarters, even if she doesn't understand all of it.
* Boybands are her guilty pleasure, there's just something addicting in corny, repetitive love songs sung by cute-looking boys.
* The smell of cinnamon, she even uses candles scented with the stuff.

### **Dislikes**

* People avoiding questions and changing the topic. If you don't want to answer, she'd like you to at least say why.
* Mint flavored chewing gum/candy/anything, it just makes her cringe. She'll have it every once in a while, but she can't understand how some people eat those like nothing.
* Beverages served way too hot without warning so she ends up burning her tongue.
