Hello everyone!

I finally decided to update my Android fan character, Catherine Evergreen, with a couple of slight features (skin color, hair do, rank, and background story). I'm sorry I haven't drawn her in ages but I've been so busy with college and I went through a brief depression over character creation and realized that none of the things I previously wrote made any sense to Star Trek. So I tried to go through new sources of inspiration and tutorials on creating characters. I am still a bit paranoid about the term Mary Sue so I decided to do a Q&A right below the character info to answer any questions for any misunderstandings.

Brief biography:

In the 2340's Catherine Evergreen was created by cyberneticist, Victoria Evergreen, as an attempt to create a daughter of her own since she and her husband were unable to bear children. As a result of her creation she created another sibling for Cathy named Emily. She was programmed with an emotion chip but is unable to turn it off because her creator wanted her to be more human like. During her "childhood" her father would take her to his doctor's office to show her his medical tools and his interactions with his patients. As a result she became interested in studying in the medical field. Her father would tell her of his dreams of wanting to work as a medical officer in Star Fleet but his parents never gave him the chance to pursue his dreams as a point to encourage her to pursue her dreams. Besides being interested in studying medicine she was interested in singing because her creator would introduce her to opera singing. At age 13, when her father died from an unknown cause she vowed to pursue her father's dream to become a Star Fleet medical officer. However, in society Androids were not looked as "sentient" beings but only to be viewed as tools and machines without thoughts and feelings. Because of this she hardly intereacted with any humans because she was afraid that they would reject for who she is. In the past she's been referred to as a machine, a calculator, or a walking talking doll by her peers in which she hates being called. As a result she enrolled into Star Fleet impersonating a human while trying to control her Android like tendencies (not detaching her arms, not eating around people because she only eats small portions, not appear overly smart) at the age of 16.

After graduating from StarFleet she became an Ensign and was transferred to the USS Repulse. As a medical officer she would interact with her patients and other coworkers when she was needed but when she had her breaks she tried to avoid social contact as much as possible so that her Android tendencies wouldn't show but this has lead to some misunderstandings about her with her coworkers such as perceiving her as being rude and stuck-up. After 2-3 years of being an Ensign she became a Lieutenant when she was transferred from the U.S.S Repulse to the Enterprise-D. She was overwhelmed by being in a Galaxy class starship she thought it would be more difficult to hide her Android tendencies that it was bound to happen. One day while walking on her way to Sick Bay a giant space blob that was harming the Enterprise tried to capture her. Out of fear she tried to detach her arm from the monster without thinking twice if there was anyone around watching until Lt.Commander Data appeared just in time to stun the monster with his phaser. He was confused and yet thought it was fascinating that there was another Android on the ship. At first she doesn't trust him because she was afraid that he would report her to Star Fleet for lying about her identity since he is a senior officer. If he did report her then she would not be able to fullfil her father's dream. Eventually, as he started to get to know her better they both become friends. As a result of her friendship with him she starts to develop confidence in herself to interact in social situations.

Hobbies: tea parties, singing on the holodeck, playing any musical instrument, ballroom dancing, reading, playing on the holodeck, spending time with Data and Spot, and writing poetry.

********************************************************************

1. Why did you make her an Android instead of another species from Star Trek?

Because I noticed that in Star Trek:TNG there were hardly any Androids in the series so I thought it would be interesting if the series would have exposed more Android characters just like in Star Trek:TOS besides the Soong-Type Androids in TNG. The only difference is that she has an emotion chip (in which she cannot turn-off) and that she's a medical officer.

2. Why a pet skunk, skunks aren't pets?

Believe it or not there are people who own pet skunks in certain states of the U.S where it's legal and in the UK. Yes, the ones I'm talking about are domesticated skunks. There's even videos of pet skunks on youtube. Since it's about half the size of a cat it's a reasonable size pet unlike owning a big humongous wild life animal.

3. Is your fan character a self-insert?

Nope she's not.

4. Do you have any proof that Androids were not viewed as sentient beings in Star Trek:TNG?

Based from what I've seen in the episodes of TNG I've noticed that there are a few characters such as Lt.Commander Hobson, Dr.Pulaski, Bruce Maddox, and the Star Fleet Admiral in the episode, "The Offspring" have viewed Lt.Commander Data (Soong Type Android) as not being capable of being sentient and is just viewed as a machine. However, the only characters who have changed their attitude towards Data are Pulaski, Maddox, and the Star Fleet Admiral.

5. Do you pair her up with Data?

Yes, I do but as I explained in the biography they both start of as FRIENDS before they get into a serious relationship. I want their relationship to develop and not make it an instant love kind of thing. In their serious relationship it wouldn't just be all kissing and happy moments because there's more to a relationship than just that. In a relationship there's ups and downs which makes it realistic and relatable. No I wouldn't make Data act OOC because he would still be himself. The only reasons I paired her with Data because in the episodes of TNG he mentions that someday he would like to get married or be in a serious relationship with someone (Data's Day episode). Brent Spiner, the actor who played Data, has expressed that Data deserved a babe in his life which is mentioned on his Twitter and in interviews.

6. Let me get this straight but did you create your fan character just to only have her as a love interest to Data?

No that's not the only reason for her existence! I want her to contribute towards the medical field in Star Trek and have more exposure to Android characters.
