[b]Name[/b]: Beatrice [b]Profession[/b]: Science Officer [b]Appearance[/b]: [img]http://geekxgirls.com/images/sci-fi_idols/sci-fi_women_idols_10.jpg[/img] [b]Personality[/b]: Strict, cold, stern, perfectionist. But beneath that layer, she is insecure as well, and she is scared of failure. She does have a little bit of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. But despite all of that, she does care enough to make sure that no one gets hurt or dies on her watch. She will watch over someone and, sometimes, scold them if she thinks someone is being careless. Of course, this tends to translate into an abrasive personality and cause people to distance themselves from her. [b]Background[/b]: "[i]Do better! More every day! Don't be lazy![/i]" Born as the daughter to the most esteemed physicist, her father, and botanist, her mother, she grew in a competitive setting. She was the youngest child with two older siblings. Her family seemed to value academic pursuits, and while Beatrice did her best in school, she often found herself dreaming and wondering what else could be out there. This didn't set well with her father. Whenever he found her not studying or bettering herself in any way, he often gave her those three lines and repeated them over and over. Beatrice did set out to do as her father had stated, however...it turned out that her older siblings were much more successful than she is. Her older brother and sister graduated from the most acclaimed and well renowned universities, while the university she entered was good, but not as renowned. Her sister created the cure for cancer, and her brother was able to prove an important theory (such as String Theory) and provide enough evidence to make the theory valid. Beatrice? She got a degree in Exploratory sciences, and have yet to do anything groundbreaking, as her father loves to point out every chance they meet with each other. Due to the fact that she was pressured to focus more on her studies and extracurricular activities that her father approved, that meant she had little to no time for any socializing or...[i]living[/i] for that matter. She has little to no social skills and she more often than not, inadvertently pushes people away from her. So she has no friends, and practically no experience with romance. So why did she decide to take on her current occupation? Well, she still held onto her dreams of finding what lied beyond the known parts of the universe, and she hoped that one of her discoveries will be 'groundbreaking' enough for her family and for herself. The thought of death out there has come to her mind, but quite frankly, she'd be okay with dying out there. Or at least, that's what she tells herself. She has asked to work alone, but the request was denied, and she was paired with a pilot considering she has no skills in piloting space craft.
