PERSONALITY NOTES

OVERVIEW
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 anyone. She finds large social gatherings uncomfortable, but will 'grin and bear it' if needs be.

She has a negative (but not hostile) attitude towards Medical Officers. This came about after her father's death. She holds a grudge against Medical personnel in general because she believes that the caregivers of her father did not do all that they could have. These feeling still remain to some extent, yet she has made progress at getting over them through her friendship with Dr Lisa Mara on the USS YAMATO. Whether or not this friendship will extend to the Dr Lisah Mara remains to be seen. Also, in terms of her father, any discussion about him is difficult for her. In addition, even though unecessary violence bothers her, Cassie is not a pacifist. She just tends to want to find a nonviolent solution first--with violence as a last resort.

AMBITIONS
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 an exploration starship interests her as well, but she will go where she is needed. She hopes some day to help with planetary colonization or refugee relocation to a planet.

ANNOYANCES
Medical personnel.
Unnecessary violence.

HOBBIES
Fencing, archery, and equestrian
Ancient and 20th century theatre
Mystery and fantasy novels
Plays the flute

IDIOSYNCRACIES
She only lets close friends and family call her Cass.
She is a work-a-holic. She always wants to be doing something, she finds it hard to *relax*.
Reading and playing the flute are the only things that help her to actually relax.

REFERENCES
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 her research with enthusiasm even when the task was mundane or minor. Stephens' meticulous analysis 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.
