Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Eira is quiet and dedicated individual who enjoys focussing on her work. She repressed her telepathic abilities from a young age because of the mental toll it took on her mind, and combined with everything she has experienced so far in life, it would cause a proper meltdown for her but has succeeded in developing her empathic abilities to counter it. Still devastated over the witnessing of her brother's death, Eira has nightmares that feature him and keep her awake throughout the night, though she tries to not let it affect her work. |

| Personal History | Born March 15th, 2367 in Algo, Sweden to unknown parents and two older twin brothers, Aiden and Oliver. Eira had a fairly normal childhood growing up under the care of her aunt and uncle Kestra and Elliot who had adopted her and her brothers from an extremely young age. Their parents were never brought up in conversation and it was a sore point for Kestra (her mothers' sister) every time it was so Eira learnt early on not to ask. Schooling was done at a private college where she excelled at sports and was one of the more popular, straight-A students. Her studies and sports were more important to her adoptive parents than anything else because they wanted to succeed in life. Her brothers on the other hand, they just cruised through life with no pressure. At the age of 14, Eira got into archery and was a regional champion multiple times by the age of 17. Oliver managed to annoy her constantly and she got so annoyed with him that she shot a bolt through his leg and he ended up in hospital with multiple stitches and she received a scalding and a half for it. Her brothers joined Starfleet a year before she finished school and Eira made it a point that she wanted to join as well so she tailored her final years around subjects that would help her get into Intelligence. These subjects included Computer Sciences and Forensics. It was when she turned 18 that she first applied for Starfleet. |
