Personality
| Personality Overview | What you see is what you get. Faith is a team player who leads by example and expects the best, from herself and others. She strongly believes in learning, then sharing that knowledge. Faith endeavours to live her life to the maximum, with not a single day taken for granted. While placing a high value on friendship, trust, Faith does not extend either very easily. This has only been exacerbated after losing friends during the Dominion War, for fear of further loss. This period in Faith's life also resulted in her current suffering of anxiety attacks and flashbacks, which can be triggered by being in confined spaces, or sudden, loud noises. |
History
| Personal History | Faith Meredith Hawkins was born to be an engineer. From a young age, she was good at taking things apart. Putting them back together was a challenge. Faith didn’t take long to realise what she wanted to do. She wanted to be an engineer. A Starfleet engineer. Like her father Matthew. She was the first woman in her family to join Starfleet. Never top of her class, Faith was content being close to the top. The limelight never appealed to her. Four years of training later, Faith was posted to USS Arundel, a Miranda class. One year before the Dominion War. A one night stand with her friend, later co-parent, Galran Seastri resulted in a daughter, Meredith Jevera. Faith developed her claustrophobia, anxiety on Arundel. She was trapped in an access shaft during a battle, while on convoy escort duty. Faith wasn’t rescued for several hours, because of heavy damage inflicted on the ship. Shortly after being repaired and upgraded, Arundel was once again sent into battle. It wasn't even supposed to have been there. But it was. It was a ferocious battle that took the lives of half of Arundel's crew. Including her friend Galran Seastri, along with all but five of the ship's compliment of engineers. Arundel was severely damaged, having taken more damage than anyone on board could have expected. The outclassed, obsolete ship had refused to die to keep her surviving crew alive. After the death of her department head, Faith was appointed as Arundel’s new Chief Engineer. Her first task in the role was to board, pillage a nearby Miranda class hulk for parts. A mammoth undertaking over several days enabled their wounded ship to get underway again. Arundel would then fly into battle one last time, for the final showdown over Cardassia Prime. After the war, Faith helped convert Arundel to a training ship. Its duty to help defend the Alpha Quadrant was done. But the ship could do a job training the next generation. Her task completed, Faith was reassigned to USS Britannic. In August 2376, Faith gave birth to a second daughter, who she named Beatrice Elanai. |
