Section B: Personal History

 

Charlotte Matsumura was the only child born to Elisabeth Blair, professor of Historical Western Literature at Starfleet Academy, and her husband, Ronin Matsumura, an instructor in martial arts, also at the Academy. She was raised with both English and Japanese influences shaping her personality. From her mother, she learned an appreciation for the intellectual arts – reading, writing, painting – while learning her appreciation for the physical arts from her award-winning father.

 

Leading a mostly quiet life, Charlotte found she was drawn to the sciences with her first chemistry set at age 8, followed by an electronics lab at age 9. She gained entrance to Starfleet Academy and chose to major in physics. She felt that this, more than anything else, would give her a solid foundation from which to understand more about biology and chemistry. Reaching her fourth year, she discovered particular interest in making things, as she says, "go boom."

 

She is currently working on mastering the katana and wakizashi, and is interested in exploring Klingon and Vulcan martial arts. She finds the similarities of these two races to her own Eastern influences intriguing. When possible, she continues working with her father to learn Romulan and Cardassian hand-to-hand techniques.

 

Psychological Profile

 

Charlotte leads a mostly quiet life. She can be restless, and given to fits of temper, becoming a deadly opponent when riled. Because of her father's Eastern influence, however, she struggles to find an inner balance between war and peace. Her martial arts training has made her both adaptive and attentive – more so if a subject or objective is of direct interest to her. Her training has also provided an extraordinary sense of determination and mastery of her physical presence.

Addendum: I have observed that Charlotte shows strong self-confidence in any task that requires mental or physical agility; social situations, however, can make her uneasy, as she seems to still retain some of the awkwardness of youth. She has several close friends to whom she confides and is guarded around strangers. While this is an excellent trait for an operative, I am concerned regarding her ability to relax and recuperate between assignments. Recommend yearly counseling sessions to observe progress in this area.

Section B: Personal History

 

As a younger woman, Miya Matsumura starred in a series of martial arts films, often credited with reviving popular interest in Japanese martial arts. She herself studied an Okinawan style founded by Kenwa Mabuni, and originally established in the Twentieth Century. It was in the dojo that she first met her husband, Kaemon.

 

Kaemon Matsumura was a young man of excellent education and a rising star within Federation Service. At the age of 32, he served as the Assistant to the Deputy Chair, Federation Security Council for approximately ten years. He retired early, and continues working in private service as a mediator. Known in diplomatic circles for his introspective manner, he tends to watch others and act quietly.

 

Their first child, Rohai, was named for the blonde-white hair that capped her head when born. This eventually fell out and gave way to long, traditionally dark hair. Ronin was the second born, and named for the wandering, masterless samurai of times past. Both Kaemon and Miya instilled a strong sense of honor and duty in their children. It was little surprise when both ended up at Starfleet Academy.

 

Rohai majored in engineering, quickly rising to full lieutenant. When her research vessel was attacked by a saboteur, she died attempting to contain the resulting core breach. Less than half the crew managed to evacuate to safety.

 

In the fall following graduation from the Academy, Ronin met Elisabeth Blair, a graduate student at Trinity College. The two shared a brief courtship and married after a year. Their only daughter, Charlotte was born two years later.

 

Shortly after the birth of Charlotte, Ronin was recruited as an operative for Starfleet Intelligence. His martial arts training and cool head under pressure proved to be excellent assets for field work. He and Academy classmate, Malcolm Alexander, trained together and eventually worked field operations, chiefly in Romulan territory. Further details of their exploits are still classified.

 

Injured in the line of duty, however, Ronin returned to Earth to convalesce. Contemplating leaving service, he enrolled in the Trinity College Masters of Science in Education program, with hopes of eventually teaching kinesiology at high school or college levels. He returned to operations upon completion of his program.

 

Between operations, Ronin continued to teach martial arts and self-defense at Intelligence Headquarters. Age and environment began to take their toll, and he once again considered a life outside of Intelligence service. Finally, as his daughter entered the Academy, he submitted a request to be permanently transferred to Headquarters staff. The request was granted. Four years later, he retired. He now teaches karate and self-defense at "The Farm" as a civilian, and at the family's private dojo.

 

Psychological Profile

 

[Note: Subject retired, SD [#####.#]. This is the last summary provided by SFI for personnel record. Subject is still considered under the care of SFI psychologists, as the department recognizes the enduring nature of trauma sustained in the line of duty.]

 

I've met civilians who lack the overwhelming sense of calm Matsumura exudes, regardless of the situation. This is impressive for a man whose dossier reads like a good holonovel. Injuries sustained during a botched operation twenty years ago seem to have faded and, despite concern at the time, he has resumed a normal life with little mental trauma.

 

Recommend bi-annual fitness report, and counseling only on an as-needed basis.
