Fixed typo & issue with medal not appearing
|Majors=Medical training, following the surgical track and specialising in trauma and emergency medicine
|Minors=Sydesh went down the surgical track, specialising in trauma and emergency medicine with modules in xenobiology and advanced surgical techniques. Unusually she also studied field engineering. She learned a lot of shortcuts and bodges keeping the Eisnoran equipment and the Riftrunner going, many of which were considered needlessly dangerous by actual engineers. For her it was important to learn the ‘right way’ to do things, even if it did keep her at the Academy another year
|Hobbies=: Beka spends a lot of time at the gym working out. Her fascination for prizefighting, started by watching illicit video feeds on the Riftrunner, meant that her taking up martial arts and boxing was inevitable. She’s proved very capable, relying on speed and a surprising power that’s dumped many sparring partners face-first onto a crash mat. Unusually, she also doesn’t need any prodding at all to keep up with her Continuous Professional Development goals, keeping up with the latest developments with a genuine interest
|Short=Establish herself on board a Star Fleet vessel and save her first life in a teal tunic
|Long=There’s no hiding her ambition – Beka wants to be a ship’s captain one day. She knows it could be 10 or 20 years before she’s ready for that, if she’s ever ready, but she’s more than driven enough to apply herself and push hard to get there
|Dislikes=She hates being dismissed because of her age or what people think she should be
|Peeves=Like most doctors she’s a terrible patient herself
|Habits=For Bekais hyper-competitive, 1 drink can arrive in 15 glasses. She also and freely admits to being an awful loser
|Achievements=Overcoming her difficult childhood to join Star Fleet is easily her biggest achievement to date. She’s ambitious enough to want to replace that very soon though
|Disappointments=Not being able to trace her family despite the efforts she’s gone to. She still hopes that one day, she’ll be able to find them and show them what she made of herself
Signing up to Star Fleet was a decision that she completely stands by. As a career path, it’s already given her so much. But there’s that nagging doubt at the back of her mind that she can’t silence, that says her parents would disapprove, that they’d be disappointed that she didn’t stand on her own. It’s a huge part of where her drive to succeed comes from. The more she’s accomplished by the time she does finally track them down, and she holds onto the belief that she will find them, the less the chances that they’ll reject her
|Time=Being taken under Cdr D’Jaoun’s wing on board the USS Phoenix. Beka started to grow as a person in more ways than one. She had always had to scrap and fight for every morsel of food, between the rations on Eisnor and the competition for enough to eat on her old crew. There was very little meat on her bones when she first came aboard the Phoenix, to the point where she needed infusions and minor surgery to get her malnourished body to develop properly. The Phoenix showed her there was another way. With a literally bottomless feast available via the ship’s replicators and a fully stocked gym, Beka filled out quickly and developed a taste for exercise that she still hasn’t lost
|Crucial=When she was introduced to Disney films on Earth, having just turned 18. She didn't hit puberty until late because of her development problems, but then it all hit her at once. At first Beka couldn’t get enough of the Disney princesses, and it took her a while to understand that it wasn’t because she wanted to be one, it was because she was developing a crush on Elsa and Aurora. Realising At first she thought she was gay , but it soon became apparent that whilst she preferred women, she could be attracted to someone regardless of gender or species. When she realised she was pansexual and being accepted as such really helped that there were others like her feel , she felt truly comfortable in her own skin for the first time
|Role Model=Beka isn’t entirely comfortable with the idea of role models – she wants to be herself and not dedicate her life to being like someone else. But she looks up to Vonn D’Jaoun most of all and if there was someone she would want to be like, it’s the half-Bajoran captain
|CHist=
