Education: Attended an Earth school until the age of 16, at which time she was admitted to Starfleet academy. She holds majors in both quantum/temporal physics and astrophysics, with a minor in engineering

 

 

Physical Traits:

Hair Colour: white-blond

Skin Colour: blue

Eye Colour: Dark brown/blue, with light yellow where one would usually see white

Identifying marks: dark blue birth mark about the size and shape of a thumb print on her left ankle.

Height: 165.1 cm (5’5”)

Weight: 170lbs

Other Features: Quelsar also sports the twin antennae her species is known for. When fully erect (as they will be if she is angry) they measure 13 centimeters (a little over five inches). She has a small, narrow nose, white-blond eyebrows, with natural dark blue shading around her eye area, as well as dark blue lips. She wears her hair at shoulder-length, with short bangs that curl around her antennae.

 

General Description:

 

Quelsar is extremely vulnerable to dehydration in warm environments (which is understandable, considering her planet is covered in ice), and the loss of an antennae, though it will grow back, will knock off her balance for months.

 

Andorians, on the whole, are a super-sensory species, with their antennae serving to attune their sense of smell, and hearing, both of which are more developed than the average human’s.

 

As an Andorian, Ms. Zhrul has a tendency to be somewhat aggressive, but living with humans has taught her to learn some control over these impulses. She still holds some genetic distrust of Vulcans, though that, too, she has learned to reduce to a mere uneasiness, and she would be hard pressed to admit even that.

 

Blessed with natural agility, as well as raw power, Quelsar should be a natural fighter, and surely she could hold her own in hand-to-hand combat, but she was unable to concentrate on any formal training related to such situations, and as such tries to avoid them. Plus, they bring her aggressive nature to the front, which is rarely a good thing.

 

Generally, however, Quelsar is easy to get along with, dedicated to her duties, eager to please, and, overall, a friendly individual.

 

Starfleet Career Summary:

 

The USS Excalibur is her first assignment.

 

Pre-Starfleet history:

 

Raised in the high arctic regions of Earth, Quelsar has only visited Andor on a few, select occasions. She had a large family (as is typical for her species) that included 12 siblings and four parents.

 

Quelsar’s mother was a sought after sculptor, and she passed her passion on to her daughter, along with a talent for the flabbjellah (an Andorian musical instrument that also serves as a weapon). Quelsar’s other interests include history (particularly periods of warfare).

 

Though fascinated by stellar phenomenon, Quelsar never demonstrated a natural aptitude for science in general, and had to work particularly hard just to gain entrance into the academy. However, stubborn and willful, she did not let this stand in her way, and graduated near the top of her class with majors in quantum/temporal physics and astrophysics.
