Bio:

December 13, 2375—Sydney Marie is born to Andrew and Olivia Richardson at the New Kansas City Medical Hub.

As a child, Sydney liked to be the center of attention. Known for her outrageous pranks and quirky sense of humor, Syd often got herself in a more than a little trouble, such as the time when she was eight-years-old and had hidden several caterpillars in her father's slippers. When asked why she did it, she justified the act as an opportunity to observe "human reaction".

March, 2387—Sydney Richardson is taken to the New Kansas City Medical Hub with a laceration to her right hand.

While conducting an experiment in a science lab about the absorption abilities of a celery stalk, Syd slipped with a low power laser scalpel and cut her hand. Instead of telling someone right away, she watched as the blood traveled up the celery stalk. Finally, one of her classmates, alarmed by the excessive blood loss, screamed and alerted the teacher to Syd's condition.

As she grew older, plants continued to interest her. This fascination led to experiments with such things as ragweed allergies (though not her own), poison ivy, and a pet Venus fly trap. She also planted a flower garden that soon took over the yard, much to the chagrin of her three younger sisters.

July, 2392—Anna Yung is rushed to the New Kansas City Medical Hub for poisoning due to consumption of a poisonous mushroom.

During a nature walk organized by Syd, a twelve-year-old girl was given permission to eat a mushroom that Syd had identified as "edible". Although the girl's parents dismissed it as a mistake, the event left her doubting her choice of careers.

2393-2397—Starfleet Academy

Throughout her education at Starfleet Academy she received average grades, which her professors blamed on the fact that she was constantly second guessing herself.

Although she kept her quirky sense of humor, she did become less outgoing during her time at the academy. She preferred the company of the plants in the greenhouse over that of people. This did not, interestingly enough, keep her from developing a strong friendship with Zara Llewellyn. They promised each other they would keep in contact after graduation.

2397—Graduation

After graduation, Midshipman Sydney Richardson joined the crew of the U.S.S. Agincourt as an assistant science officer specializing in botany.
