History Characters / BaitAndSwitchSTO

* TheSouthpaw: {{Implied}}: Her narration briefly mentions in ''Fanfic/DidntExpectThat'' when she draws her phaser from its holster right-handed that she's a better shot with her left hand.

* ActionGirl: She's a special warfare officer, i.e. a MACO.
* MixedAncestry: She's Welsh by birth (from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongwynlais Tongwynlais]], a suburb of Cardiff) and described as a blonde white woman. However, she's stated to have a Kurdish mother, and her surname is Mongolian.

* MixedAncestry: She's an American of Irish and Omani descent.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Mildly: though not exhibitionist, she's frank about her enjoyment of sex and has been shown a few times she SleepsInTheNude. When Franklin Drake complains about the latter in ''Fanfic/DidntExpectThat'', she retorts, "I happen to ''like'' having nothing but my man with me in bed, not that it's any of your business, ''ye'phekk maktal kosst amojan''."

'''Headcanon Actor:''' [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005030/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 Jon Huertas]]

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Her biological father Merken tr'Vreenak was never in the picture due to her parents' [[YourCheatingHeart adulterous relationship]] having the potential to cause an inter-clan blood feud.

* BadDreams: She has recurring nightmares of the boarding action on RBS ''Kira Nerys'' where she was stabbed.

* PardonMyKlingon[=/=]SirSwearsALot: Sometimes you can't even go two consecutive pages without running into a "''phekk''" or a "''sher hahr kosst''". Every once in a while she'll even cuss in English.

* HotBlooded: She can have a hair-trigger temper at times and doesn't do anything by halves. The author's described her in forum posts as a mix of [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Kirk]], [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Kira Nerys]], and [[Franchise/MassEffect Paragade FemShep]]. {{Deconstructed}} somewhat in that it frequently means that she gets into trouble with Starfleet's brass, such as in an [[NeverLiveItDown oft-referred to]] NoodleIncident where she apparently lost it at the Jenolan peace conference and cussed out Tuvok and several diplomats.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Mildly: though not exhibitionist, she's frank about her enjoyment of sex and has been shown a few times to sleep in the nude. When Franklin Drake complains about the latter in ''Fanfic/DidntExpectThat'', she retorts, "I happen to ''like'' having nothing but my man with me in bed, not that it's any of your business, ''ye'phekk maktal kosst amojan''."

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: Even though he's not actually from Earth, his parents are Australian ("Mum's from Murray Bridge and Dad's from Perth") and he has the accent. He's very occasionally given to using Australian slang, such as in [[http://memory-gamma.wikia.com/wiki/Story:B%26S/An_Anomalous_Nightmare "An Anomalous Nightmare"]] where he asked one of his corpsmen if she'd skipped brekkie[[labelnote:*]]breakfast[[/labelnote]] that morning.

* DeathByOriginStory[=/=]MissingMom: Her mother was killed in [[Franchise/StarTrekNemesis Shinzon's coup]], though Sahuel was already an adult by that point.

Morgan's entire family died in the Hobus supernova, and Morgan was severely wounded when the ''Albintian'' was attacked by [[Film/StarTrek Nero]] while escorting the survivors of the Senate to safety. She was later forced to abandon the ''Galae'' in yet-to-be-explained NoodleIncident where the [[StateSec Tal'Shiar]] "destroyed my career", and eventually settled on Virinat to become a farmer, gaining a reputation as the best vintner on the planet.

* ReluctantWarrior: In her own words in ''Fanfic/FromBajorToTheBlack'', "I don't really like killing people, although I'm very good at it."

* HasAType: It's implied by various lines (both in her main continuity and in the Fanfic/{{Masterverse}}) that she prefers blond men who are taller than her. Jerrod Dalton is blond (though how big he is compared to her is unstated), Gaarra is a big beefy hunk and {{heavyworlder}}, while over in the Masterverse her friend and brief lover Jarkko Makinen is a blond man said to be played by Creator/JoonasSuotamo (a 6'11" Finnish actor and basketball player who was an understudy to Creator/JackLemmon as Chewbacca in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'').

* {{Expy}}: {{Inverted}}. Despite the fact she commands a ''Galaxy''-class starship, the author has mentioned repeatedly she's intended to be the exact opposite of Picard: Female instead of male, openly religious instead of atheist, HotBlooded and ready to fight instead of calm and diplomatic, blue-collar PriorEnlisted instead of aristocratic career officer, BookDumb instead of intellectual... the list goes on. The author commented he actually based her on a blend of [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries James T. Kirk]], [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Kira Nerys]], and [[Franchise/MassEffect Paragade FemShep]].

KlingonsLoveShakespeare: Eleya notes in one piece of narration that she has a taste for certain Klingon foods like gladst, although she considers gagh gross. She also enjoys late 20th and early 21st century Earth science fiction.

!!Admiral Amnell Kree
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/admiral_amnell_kree_8651.jpg]]
-> '''Gender and Species:''' Trill female (joined)\\
'''Homeworld:''' Trill\\
'''Position:''' Flag Officer-in-Command, ''Marduk'' Carrier Battle Group CBG-62\\
'''Headcanon Actor:''' Creator/CarrieAnneMoss

The commander of the Marduk Carrier Battle Group. A joined Trill and a heavily decorated veteran of the Dominion War.

[[http://memory-gamma.wikia.com/wiki/Amnell_Kree Has a bio here.]]

* AcePilot: She flew a ''Peregrine''-class fighter during the Dominion War and scored nineteen confirmed kills, including bagging a ''Galor''-class during Operation Return ([=DS9=]: "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS06E06SacrificeOfAngels Sacrifice of Angels]]").
* DeathGlare: Glares at her flag captain Bronok Zell for arriving late to a MissionBriefing. When she reappears in ''Fanfic/TheWrongReflection'' she shuts down Brokosh by this method when he talks out of turn during another MissionBriefing. Eleya is sympathetic and refers to it as the [[{{Tradesnark}} Kree Glare™]].
* GrumpyOldMan: Gender-flipped. She's a lot less MildlyMilitary than most of the cast and doesn't put up with much in the way of antics, even glaring at her flag captain for showing up late to the briefing.
* TheNthDoctor: It's AllThereInTheManual but Amnell is her symbiont's third host.
* OlderThanTheyLook: According to Eleya, "She’s well-preserved but something about her leads me to peg her age as sixty-something." Her [[http://memory-gamma.wikia.com/wiki/Amnell_Kree Memory Gamma bio]] puts her age at 69. And that's just the host we're talking about.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The Kree symbiont. [[AllThereInTheManual Her bio]] says Amnell Rovel is the third host.
* RuggedScar: The area around her left eye is a mass of scar tissue.
* TomboyishPonytail: Forceful personality and back-length iron-gray hair in a ponytail draped over her shoulder.

The main character. Formerly an energy weapons sergeant in the Bajoran Militia spacefleet, she was nearly killed defending sickbay on the Bajoran frigate ''Kira Nerys'' and was awarded the Silver Cross for her bravery. She attended Starfleet Academy after the Militia decommissioned the last of its ships. After graduating she served two uneventful tours on patrol duty near the Romulan border as first shift assistant tactical officer, then six months assigned to Deep Space 9 as assistant liaison officer to the Bajoran Militia, before transferring to the ''[=ShiKahr=]''-class USS ''Kagoshima'' as second shift weapons officer.

* CombatPragmatist: [[GroinAttack Crotch kicks]], blowing up cover to kill enemies with shrapnel, using her ship's navigational deflector as a bow ram... if there's a potential trick in her arsenal, she'll use it. It's even strongly implied she went so far as to fight the Klingons using roadside bombs at one point.

* FantasticRacism: Due in large part to the events of the ''Kira'' boarding action she has a tendency to use the racial slur "greenskins" in reference to Orions. She also alludes in one chapter to a dislike of Cardassians, something that's fairly common among Bajorans due to the atrocities they suffered during the Cardassian Occupation. Although her ship's bartender turns out to be Cardassian, albeit an old civilian who lived through the Dominion holocaust at the end of the war.

* MilitaryBrat: Played with. Her father and her paternal grandfather both fought in the Bajoran Resistance during the Occupation, and her grandfather was one of those killed in the [[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Kendra_Valley_Massacre Kendra Valley Massacre]]. But her father didn't join the Militia after the Cardassian withdrawal, and Eleya wasn't born for another eleven years.

* OfficialCouple: With Gaarra, as of the end of ''Fanfic/RealityIsFluid''.

But like her opponent, she had killed with the blade. In a boarding action, in the closest of quarters aboard a warbird or a pirate’s converted freighter, you used whatever weapon came to hand, even the ostensibly ceremonial ones. Factory-forged or not, the saber [i]was[/i] her honor blade, and she knew every scratch and nick on it as they caught the light amid the practice swings she took to limber up as she approached Garaf. A scratch from sparring with tr’Sarsachen. A chip in the fuller where it had blocked a bat’leth.\\

* GeneralRipper: Tends towards this in regards to the Klingon Empire due to her war experiences. She's a little ''too'' enthusiastic about arming the Gorn Resistance for a ProxyWar with the Empire in late 2409 before peace breaks out, and in "Fanfic/AChangedWorld" she [[spoiler:almost kills a shipload of 23rd century Klingons in cold blood because of it]].

!!Lieutenant Commander Jaleh Khoroushi

* BigSisterInstinct: Along with her older brother she spent her childhood helping her parents raise their three younger siblings, and she falls back into that habit when she learns that [[spoiler:her youngest brother Dariush lost his leg when the Iconians bombed Starfleet Academy]].

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has one older brother and three younger siblings.

* FirstPersonSmartass: Not all the time, but the stories are told from her point of view and she frequently cracks jokes or makes sarcastic remarks in the narration.

* MartialPacifist: In her own words in ''Fanfic/FromBajorToTheBlack'', "I don't really like killing people, although I'm very good at it."

* ReligiousBruiser: Played with. She's fairly secular for a Bajoran, although later-set installments have been exploring her spirituality more.

* ScarsAreForever: She was wounded on the left cheek and right kidney and retains the scars despite Starfleet medical tech being easily capable of removing them. In ''Fanfic/FromBajorToTheBlack'' it's explained that she keeps them as a reminder that she isn't immortal. The short piece "All of My Scars" also indicates that the scars are as much mental as physical, and Eleya ends it with the notion that she can't get rid of the past, but she ''can'' work for a different future.

* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Seeing as how she's the main character. She describes herself as having dark green eyes and mid-back length red hair that she wears in a TomboyishPonytail.
