History
| Personal History | Born on Rigel IV, Eden enjoyed a pretty peaceful childhood except for the occasional teasing by her classmates because of her quiet demeanor. She is the only child of astrobiologists Mara and Steven Taylor who were fond of dragging her around to study the nearby systems. Eden cannot stand the subject but is fascinated by any other aspect of science and shares her parents love of learning. She spent her entire childhood on various planets except for occasional family vacations which turned out to be more work for her parents but provided an opportunity for Eden to explore a little of her surroundings in space. On one such vacation when she was a young child her parents left her alone for only a moment while they unloaded some supplies out of their shuttle. Eden took the controls, disengaged the docking clamps, making her drift away from the space station. While her mother was angry her father was more amused at her ingenuity. Her curiosity knew no bounds despite her parents trying to control it. Eden left as soon as she was old enough and entered Starfleet Academy like her mother before her. Although Mara didn’t last long in Starfleet Eden loved the strict atmosphere and excelled in it. She choose to study xenology which turned out to be too similar to her parents field of study for her own tastes. She struggled to choose a major and finally had to make a decision at the last minute. Ultimately she chose engineering physics which seemed dry at first but allowed her the hands on experience she’d been craving. She minored in flight control because it allowed her to control her adventurous streak so that she could focus on her more scientific achievements. Throughout her academy days she could often be found taking up a new subject even if all she could find to learn from was an ancient text. Her instructors were awed by her ability to soak up information. In her second year at the Academy Eden met fellow cadet Kim Randall who persuaded her to join the debate team after witnessing a speech she gave. He had never seen anyone discuss something so full of emotion without betraying their feelings on the subject. Eden, who had been terrified of conflict since she was a child, suddenly found that she could keep all of her fears hidden behind an expressionless face and debate in an emotionless manner as long as the subject wasn’t personal to her. Psych Profile: Eden wants more than anything to feel accepted but she resists any attempts to break past her thick outer shell. Her timid inner personality is in constant conflict with that want but she is gradually learning to overcome that and letting a little more of herself show every year. Eden is very intelligent but has difficulty understanding her emotions even though she easily recognizes those emotions in others and is very sympathetic. She has a lot of patience and is slow to anger. She thinks quickly under pressure but needs time to herself after the event to work the situation through in her mind to determine if she acted in the best way. |
