B'Lanna Torres

Born of mixed Human and Klingon races, B'Lanna Torres grew up insecure about her Klingon features and temperament. When she applied to StarFleet Academy, her inability to comport to the organizations rigid structure caused her to drop out of the academy in her second year. She found a place for herself amongst the Maquis Resistance group, working to defend those who were displaced by the new borders established between the Federation and Cardassians. When her crew was pulled into the Delta Quadrant, her time serving on The Starship Voyager helped her continue to grow into herself as she eventually learned to accept her Klingon heritage and start a family with Tom Paris.
