Distinct physical markings: She has burn scars on her left arm from the
elbow to the wrist. These were obtained during her first mission with the
USS HOOD when the ship was attacked in the Alpha Sagitterii system. She
could have had the scars removed, but kept them to remind her of the ill
fate of the HOOD, and those crew members who lost thier lives during that
attack.

Annoyances: She has a negative(not hostile) attitude towards Medical
Officers. This came about after her father's death. She holds a deep
grudge against them-she believes it was because of Medical personnel
that her father died. In other words, she doesn't think they did everything
they could to save him. Along the same lines, any disscussion about her
father is difficult for her. Unnecessary violence bothers her. She is not a
pacifist though, she will just try to find a nonviolent solution
first-violence only
as a last resort. She also only lets friends and family call her Cassie.

Quirks: She is a work-a-holic. She always wants to be doing something,
she finds it hard to *relax*.

Interests: Sports include fencing, archery, and equestrian. She likes
ancient and 20th century theatre. Cassandra is fond of the flute as well.
The latter
two interests seem to be the only things that can help her to actually relax.

Personality: Cassandra is adventurous(somtimes overly so),determined, and
eager to learn or discover new things. She is pretty even tempered, open
minded and friendly, but cautious in giving her complete trust to everyone.

On the downside, she finds large social gatherings uncomfortable, but will
'grin and bear it' if needs be.

Goals: She is a science officer who enjoys working 'in the field', as well
as exploring space. So she doesn't mind postings on planetary research
bases or science vessels. A posting on a starship for exploration interests
her as well, but she will go where she is needed. She hopes some day to
help with the colonization or relocation of a people
on a planet.

Special areas of study: Exobiology, Zoology, Botany, and Geology.

Also, after graduating from the Academy, and before starting advanced
training at ALB, Cassandra took a 1 year tour with Colonial Operations to
gain some 'in the field' experience. She worked with a science team on
Arathconia 4(planet generated by me). The project delt with the
domestication of the planet's Flora and Fauna.

Recommendations:

Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Cederberg
Arathconia 4 colony: Science team

Ensign Stephens was of great value to the team. She listened and took
direction well. Also, she went about here research with enthusiasm even
when the task was mundane or minor. Stephens' meticulous analyses of
specimens often caught information that other seasoned officers missed.
She is a fine officer and I believe she will go far in her career choice.
