Hannah Fenton

Ensign Hannah Fenton is an engineer on the USS Odyssey.

## Background

Hannah was born in the city of London, England. Her parents both worked for a local freighter company, with her mother working as helm control, while her father took on work as security. The pair often worked alternating shifts so that at least one of them would be around at a time to look after their child as she grew up. While they did not live in luxury, due to the constant work of her parents, the family never lived too deep in squalor either, fitting a slot at the top of the lower class of society.

Growing up, Hannah proved herself to be adept at landing in trouble with both feet, often coming home with scrapes, bruises, or broken possessions, but always with a story she enthusiastically told until she got bored of speaking about it, moving on to the next excitement. Due to her rambunctious nature, she would end up with quite a few firm friends, and even more stalwart enemies; the girl had a habit of speaking her mind and standing up for her beliefs, making her enemy number one for any bullies looking to pick on her friends.

As the years went by, Hannah developed a love for ships, and their design. Often pawing over the blueprints of the freighters her parents worked on, learning about the layout of starships as a whole, but also the independent functions of each system at work. By her sixteenth birthday, Hannah had read through all the outdated freighter schematics her parents had to offer, and wanted something more interesting; which is where she found Starfleet Academy whilst browsing on her devices. Growing up in an all work household such as hers, learning about the scientific and exploratory tenets of Starfleet was highly exciting to her, and she would spend the next few months persuading her parents to let her have a try at attending the academy. She would spend the next year and a half cramming all the knowledge needed for the entrance exams; while no genius herself, Hannah did have a knack for absorbing information that she had read, and was even more adept with her muscle memory.

Due to this, when it came time for the entrance exams, Hannah passed on all fronts, though very nearly failed her psych test, only breaking free from her fear at the last minute. Once in the academy, Hannah found great enjoyment in the courses she had selected, picking Survival Strategies as a way to have variety in her studies, especially as she found the survival elements a lot more enjoyable and almost relaxing compared to her engineering heavy study. She would keep her socialising to a low level however, not finding it easy to relate to some of the more high born students at the academy. She found a small group of those like herself and stuck with them for the duration of her study, through thick and thin they stuck together, even when Hannah would drag them into trouble with her outspoken attitude and intolerance for people trying to mess her around. However at the end of it all, Hannah emerged having passed all of her courses, and being able to witness the return of the Odyssey from its long journey, she was impressed by the sheer scale of the starship, and was determined to pull all the good will she had gained at the academy to gain herself entrance on a ship of that spec.

## Appearance

Hannah stands at five foot nine inches, rather tall for a female of her geographical location. She is well built and can evidently take a hit. She has flowing hair of a natural golden blonde that she keeps in a ponytail when working, but tends to let her hair down on her downtime. Her eyes are a chocolatey hazel brown colour, and have a habit of staring a bit too long.

## Personality

As stated in her history, Hannah is a woman who speaks what is on her mind, not one for lying or sugar coating; if something is wrong with her, or with something in the world around her, she will loudly let the nearest person know about it. Hannah can get frustrated if she feels she is being ignored, and gets especially annoyed if that feeling is proven to be correct, as such the detached nature of Vulcans is something that really grates on Hannah. Outside of that, she is able to take orders reasonably well, though if she believes there may be a more efficient alternative she will speak her mind until told to quieten down. Despite her harsh, and confrontational personality, she does also have quite the soft side, liable to be found on a holodeck playing out a romance simulation or two.

## Psych Evaluation

Hannah’s greatest fear, as tested in her Psych Exam, is autophobia, the fear of being alone. If she finds herself in a situation where she cannot at least see or speak to another person, she becomes incredibly mentally distressed, and liable to break down if it continues for more than two days.
