Dorem Tola

## Appearance

Tola of course has the characteristic Bajoran nose ridges and earring. She stands at 5’9” with a medium build. Not too muscular, but not underweight either. She has bright blue eyes and jet black flowing hair that is tied back while on duty in accordance with regulations. She can sometimes be seen wearing the ring that her Boyfriend intended to propose to her with before he passed away.

## Personality

Ordinarily, as in when she’s not ***severely depressed*,** Tola is a fairly outgoing, bubbly, yet level headed individual with a wide range of emotions and tastes. She tends to be one to charge headfirst into pretty risky situations. With considerable planning, of course.

### Character Development

Following the death of her RIO, someone she was quite close to, Tola is going to be quite depressed. It’s going to take time and a lot of help for her to work through this. Part of this owing to the fact that she believes it’s her fault for pulling a risky maneuver when she shouldn’t have. Which she believes led to the fighter taking the hit and henceforth the death of her RIO.

She’s quite shy when it comes to her singing voice, but still wishes to perform for a group of people at some point. She simply hasn’t had that push to get over her stage fright.

## History

Like most Bajorans, Tola was born…. You guessed it, on Bajor! She had an almost inexplicable love for flying from an incredibly young age, despite having not actually flown until much later. Her favourite toy as a child was an old cardboard box that she ‘repurposed’ in order to pretend that she was flying a fighter craft. Her upbringing was fairly unremarkable otherwise. She never had any siblings growing up, so less competition for the title of “favourite”. She developed her irrational fear of insects after an encounter with a Palukoo spider when she was six years old. That is, until she went off and got a pilot’s license at 13 before joining the Academy at 16. It was in this period when she was assigned to a trainee squadron being trained in the operation of the new prototype AC-477  Mark I ‘Valravn’ Warp fighter.

Tola and her assigned Rear Intercept Officer quickly became close friends during their training at the Academy. During one of her Small Weapons classes, some idiot decided to wave a knife around and accidentally cut her across the face. Her deeply seated love of Raktajino was originated during a series of all-nighters in her third year at the Academy. As well as her affinity for food from various parts of the quadrant.  Leaving behind a prominent scar.  Post the Academy days, Tola and her squadron, now known as FS-71 "Chimera” were assigned to act as emergency defense of Starbase 310, seeing as it is extremely close to the Cardassian border. However, less than a year after receiving this assignment, her squadron was called away for an emergency assignment to the USS Kingsley as part of a battlegroup organizing at Deep Space Nine to attack a Borg transwarp gate.

```
During the battle, after the 1000 sided Borg vessel arrived, she saw the other fighters in her squadron go down one by one before hers was struck by a blast and took severe damage. and hers took heavy damage. Leading to the death of her RIO, and serious injury to herself. Her fighter eventually drifted through the transwarp gate and landed somewhere a few light years from where the Arcadia popped out. The Arcadia found her with her injuries patched up using the limited medical supplies stored in the cockpit. Sustaining herself using just the emergency rations. It’s a good thing, too. Seeing as the distress beacon was taking so much power that she had only about a day’s worth of life support remaining.
