Name: Ketanna Ott Race: Betazoid Age: 37 Sex: Female Birthplace: Betazed Birthday: 1/21/2346 Height: 5'10" Weight: 135 lb Haircolor: Dark Brown Eyes: Black Personal History: Ketanna Ott was born on Betazed in the year 2346. Growing up with 5 sisters; Chatawn, Julieann, Jackie, Linny, Edith and 1 brother, William to parents, Linda and James was some of the best times in her life. Ketanna, or "Ket" (as her siblings and best friend, Kyndra call her) is very close to her brother and sisters, including Kyndra. Being only 11 months younger than Chatawn she had to help with her younger siblings, but she loved every minute of it. There is nothing she wouldn't do for her family and friends. Her mother is a renowned Botanist and her father is a Professor of Psychology at the Betazed University. Ketanna had always wanted to follow in her fathers footsteps, but was drawn to the stars from all the stories about Starfleet and being on a Starship that her cousin Deanna had told her. Interests: Kempo, Learning new languages, Hoverball, Horseback riding, and Relaxation techniques. Hobbies: When off duty you can usually find her in her quarters curled up on the couch reading a good old-fashioned Mystery novel, or reading the many letters from home. Sometimes you can find her on the Holodeck running a program her brother Billy had created. Her favorite one so far takes place in the thick of the tropical rainforests in the Amazon jungle on Earth sometime in the 1800s. It is teeming with wildlife of all kinds, from monkeys, and chimps to sea turtles and tropical fish to birds and butterflies. It also has her absolute favorite animal, the White Tiger. Likes/Dislikes Good music, interesting literature, cooking for friends and family, and walks in a cool rain on a hot day. She loves all animals and adores children. She dislikes people who say one thing then turns around and does the exact opposite. She dislikes violence as a general rule, but knows that sometimes force is needed. Personality: Ket loves being around people and is always up to throwing a party or helping others plan one. She has never met a person she hasn't liked right away. Even though she's a full Betazoid she never looks into anyone's thoughts or reads their minds without permission or orders. Education: Soon as she graduated High School she left for Earth and joined Starfleet Academy. Ketanna spent her first 4 years at the Academy taking all the required core courses, such as First Aide, Shuttle craft piloting, Federation Law, Starfleet Protocol, and more (too many more to name here) before moving on to her Major in Psychology. She spent the next 4 years taking the required courses towards her major. She also took more Language, Psychology, and Xenology skills than the requirements to prepare her for future endeavors. She wanted to be able to rely on herself and her skills rather than her telepathy. She spent another year in the Colonization Division on her Cadet Cruise. Due to her diplomacy and negotiation during a mission, her CO promoted her to Ensign for extremely good performance of duties. He also awarded her the Starfleet Commendation Medal. She spent 2 more years in Command School to obtain the skills important for holding positions of responsibility and authority over other officers. She graduated from the Academy in 2371 at the top of her class. Starfleet Background: After graduating Ketanna spent 6 years counseling colonists on new worlds, helping them cope with leaving Earth and trying to help them make a smooth transition. On two different worlds during her 6 years, Ket was put in potential dangerous situations trying to help colonists and was awarded the Nebula Star and the Combat Readiness Medals, much to her protesting that she didn't deserve them. She took 2 years off in 2377 and went home to Betazed to teach Psychology at the University while her father recovered from a near fatal illness. She heard that there was an opening for a Counselor onboard Starfleet's Flagship, the USS Scorpius in 2379. She decided it was time to put the 11 years of schooling to good use and do what she set out to do in the first place, become a ship's Counselor.
