Psychological Profile: Report of Starfleet Counselor Jade Raynor

Although she grumbles quite a bit and has a quick flaring temper, Fiona McLaine is good-natured most of the time and always up for a laugh. She also has an acerbic wit, and the will to use it.

She makes up for her lack of height with more than her share of grit and spunk, and is ferocious in defense of friends and family. Someone once charitably described her as "feisty", as she has been known to go head to head with people even a Naussican would think twice about, which sometimes leads to unfortunate injuries. Most of the time, however, the situation is defused when the person in question roars with laughter at the thought of a fight.


Description:

McLaine always moves very energetically. She tends to pace when she is thinking, and tap whatever she is holding against her other hand. Unlike most engineers, she doesn't believe in talking nice to the equipment. Regular threats and mutterings when it is acting up, along with the occasional swift kick are more her mode of operation. She is also easily goaded into taking on anyone who challenges her.


Background:

Fiona is the latest in a long line of engineers, and has always known she would be one. Her parents encouraged her to attend the Academy and join Starfleet. They both died in an aircar accident while she was serving her final year. When this duty came up, having few ties to home, she jumped at the chance to work with new technology and explore.


Disciplinary Notations:

Stardate: 5005.4 -- Fiona McLaine is reduced in rank from lieutenant commander to lieutenant for her part in a fight that took place on Deep Space 10, which resulted in the severe injury of a Cardassian officer.
