s'Alka Rhu

Name: s'Alka Rhu (pronounced s-Alka Rh-oo; properly addressed as "s'Alka", as in "Lieutenant s'Alka")
Race: Tempean Orion
Sex: Female
Age: 25
Planet: Tempe (Orion colony, Federation-friendly) in the Khoosin system (http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Tempe)
Rank: Lieutenant (junior grade)
Division: Command
Position: Helmsman
Callsign/Nickname: "Mermaid", "Fish"

Description:
s'Alka is lithe-bodied and long-limbed with wide swimmer's shoulders, and has a wiry strength under her soft padded curves. She has strong hands with partially webbed fingers and webbed toes. She has a pretty face, with a wide smile, knowing green eyes, and long red hair frazzled and bleached by salt and sun, usually hanging loose around her neck and ears. Her smooth skin is a deep, tanned ocean green.

A jagged scar twists around her left hand, and a large and savage set of bite marks covers her right leg, from mid-calf to mid-thigh. Several black-ink tattoos adorn her body. On her upper left arm is an intricate design of lines and curves that seem to form a maze, and resembles a stylised three-sided fish. There is another of an anchor on her right forearm. On her right shoulder is a Starfleet insignia for the Command Division. She may have more tattoos, in more private places.

Her uniform is the gold of the Command Division; sometimes the pants and sometimes the skirt. She's not afraid to show her scars and tattoos. Off-duty, she'll usually wear some warm, furry, all-covering clothes, but shore-leave could see her in a bikini or fishing gear. She often wears a necklace with a sharp, jagged fang as a pendant.
