Ora Joll

Appearance
Ora is a tall female cardassian standing at 5’11 with a pear shaped figure (small bust, big hips.) She carries herself with pride and is often thought to live in her uniform. Due to her height- and likely her species- she is often watched like a hawk by those around her and stands out like a bit of a sore thumb. Outside of uniform she can often be found in sweaters or anything off the shoulder she can find.

Personality
Whether it is because of history or her species, Ora carries herself with pride. She keeps her chin up and is often quick to comment on other peoples hostilities or stupidity. Nevertheless, she isn’t over all a hostile woman, and tends to keep to her friend group as she tends to have some trouble making friends due to her occasionally grating personality. Overall she desires to rise in the ranks and become the best at her job that she can.

Ambitions
Her main ambition is to rise in the ranks and prove she is worthy of her position. Not a normal Cardassian.

Morals
Shut up and let me do my job. Everyone is an idiot until proven otherwise. Only medical staff can know how to treat a patient.

History
Ora spent the first ten years of her life  on Earth with her parents, who were doing their best to escape the consequences of the end of the occupation. Not that it helped, they were found and prosecuted for the wrong that they did- aiding Cardassia in the war with weapons and swindling Bajorans into thinking they were helping them escape only to turn them over to a team of medically curious Cardassians. They were found guilty, and it was decided they would be jailed for the next 35 years to work off their crime.

During this time, however, Earth had been contemplating what to do with her and for a short time she was placed with a foster family. It would not be long, however, before Starfleet reached out and chose to put her with her uncle, Haik Banor.

As she grew, Ora learned more about her species and the occupation from her uncle and his family. She did not believe that the occupation had been a good choice Cardassia made, but she did believe that the Cardassians were a proud race. Her uncle's fascination with Yamok sauce was something she never quite understood, but she enjoyed the time they spent together.

While living with the Banor family, it was suggested that she take up a hobby. Something to help her cope with the loss of her parents, and so she took up figure skating. For the longest time she had considered going pro, but between puberty and all the injuries that were constantly happening to the other skaters, she chose against it.

Due to all the skating injuries she saw when she was growing up, she found herself sort of sliding into a motherly like role and treating injuries when and where she could. Something that her coach took notice of and took her aside to tell her about a starfleet program on Earth for students in their junior and senior year who were interested in going into medicine.

Naturally, it was no surprise when she applied and her uncle was so proud of her. She was glad to make him proud. And they all rejoiced  when she was accepted into the program. Her uncle personally took her to Earth and helped her move in.

Ora excelled in the program, however she spent all her time keeping her nose in her books and working hard because she wanted to not only prove that she wasn’t her parents. Unfortunately she forgot to develop the bedside manner side of things. Still, she was good at what she did and was given a probationary hire on the agreement that she would work on her bedside manner.
