PERSONAL HISTORY:

PERSONAL DETAILS:
· Born on Earth Date July 9th, 2346.
· Had developed her telepathic powers at 8 years old - 6 years before the Betazoid norm - but never suffered any psychological problems because of this.
· Has an extremely high IQ rating, almost unmeasurable.
· Loves writing, and kept a daily journal even before being required to by Starfleet.  One day may write an autobiography, as people have asked her to.  She also wrote for and edited the Academy newspaper. 
· Was the youngest ever cadet, entering the Academy at the age of eleven.
· She met Luna whilst at the Academy - Luna was one of her lecturers. 
· After serving on the Enterprise, she re-entered the academy to learn to be a Counsellor.
· K’Teira encouraged her to train the new additions to the crew.
· Her quick rise through the ranks and her family experiences have made her very mature in a short amount of time.
· Commander Riker suggested her for the job on the Fairburn, knowing that Luna would be able to work with her, teaching at the on-board school.
· She and Luna met after Luna's son, Maurice, fell into a pond and Berry rescued him.
· She and Luna would love to have a son to give Maurice a playmate, and are looking into different ways their DNA can be combined to make this happen - two X chromosomes does not a Y make!

FAMILY HISTORY: The fifth of ten children born to Admiral Fajan Moggadí, who is still active in Starfleet.  She met her partner at the Academy, though were unable to truly celebrate their love until after Berry's subject with her was over.  Not long after they married, and Berry became pregnant with their daughter, having had their DNA combined and made into an embryo.  Luna gave up her position at the Academy to follow Berry through the Fleet, and to the Fairburn.

SECRETS IN BACKGROUND?:

FUTURE MILESTONES?: Hopes to conceive her second child soon.  Will be promoted to Lieutenant  Commander sometime in Year 5.


DETAIL RELATIONSHIPS WITH:

Susan Randall:  A wise and just Captain who knows how to bring the human equation into her command decisions. 

James Grieg:  A good officer, and a fine person.  The strange feeling she sometimes has around him is disconcerting, however.

K’Teira: Can at times be confused by her, but recognizes she is a wise and interesting woman to work for.  They get along well. 

Eden Pendehar:  A good doctor, and appreciates his help in trying to find a way for she and Luna to have a son without anyone else's DNA being involved.

Rell:  He tells so many stories, and is a joy to be around.

Elek:  As Elek avoids her company, she wouldn't know her beyond the professional level.  She is a good Ops Manager.

Thomas Moore:  He is a man who is in dire need of some counselling and cannot understand why the Counsellor doesn't just order him in to sessions. 

Kylen Dubois:  She is grateful for the lessons in amplifying and refining her mental skills, but can quietly feel a little resentful that someone is better than her at it, seeing as she has been accustomed to being amongst the best on Betazed. 

Ian Randall:  Interesting man, but so frustrating!

Matthew Daniels: They really wouldn't like each other at all, though Berry would find his antics amusing.  She'd find his stand-offish attitude around her disconcerting.

Jedera: They'd have so much to teach each other!  She loves his eternal search for understanding and the way he's non-judgemental in what he learns.

Jondalar Barlok:  A good pilot, though his methods are a little erratic.  They would be friends, however, and would try to organize shoreleaves on Mantana so he could show her and Luna around.

Lisa Willbanks:  Frustrating. 

Viana Jancris:

Joenn: Wants to help her in her transition period between Academy and assignment.  Sees a kindred here, a genius that had been without the opportunities Berry had, and wants to help her live up to her potential.

Chianeé Deserine:  Is disturbed by her apparent non-acceptance of her marriage to Luna, and her hurt and anger are hard to hide, even though she tries to be friendly.
