PERSONALITY: Outwardly, Effie is a calm soul, steady and respectable. That’s exactly what she wants you to think. She’s a born prankster, harmless for the most part, devilish when pressed, she loves being in the middle of a ruckus, which is why she joined Starfleet with the other thrill-seeking megalomaniacs. Effie originally was on the command track, as she thrives under a challenge and often takes the most she can out of life. Her ability to think clearly in a crisis and her failure to abandon anyone that’s injured led her into the medical department instead. Stubborn and clever, impulsive and reckless, Effie lives in a constant state of organized chaos, often coming off as a bit scattered, but that’s what works for her.

Born on a Syndicate smuggler and raised on Earth, Effie has done her best to embrace both of her cultures while curbing her more… base instincts. For the most part Effie can ignore her often animalistic nature but sometimes, especially when she’s emotional, that carnal side of her comes out. Effie has a tendency to blurt, whether her words are appropriate or not. Usually not. For the most part she is easy enough to get along with even though she can be a bit sarcastic and abrasive and her lack of a verbal filter is often seen as offensive. She has a sharp tongue, a quick wit, and a love of coffee that has yet to be matched in the Alpha Quadrant.

HISTORY:
Born onboard an Orion Interceptor in 2231, Effie was the result of an affair between a low ranking Syndicate boss and a Starfleet doctor. As a smuggler, her mother was not in a position to raise a child and so left Effie to be raised by her father and his family, already three children strong. Her sudden appearance in suburban NJ caused a strain for the Monroes, but Effie was accepted by the family and raised no differently from the others. There was a fair amount of bias and many assumptions made by classmates and neighbors, but nobody dared say anything above a whisper. Not with the entire Monroe clan standing ready to defend what was, in their eyes, just another of their brood.

Charming and adorable, Effie mastered her ‘innocent eyes’ early on and employed them regularly along with an often uttered, “Who? Me?” Effie was immensely creative in her trouble making, and her brothers were often at the receiving end of her pranks, one losing an eyebrow after he called her ‘snot colored’ and another discovering she had put Nair in his shampoo after he told her that SA would never accept an Orion. Their constant tormenting was all in good fun, and no amount of squabbling would change the fact that the Monroe kids were incredibly close.

Effie’s physiology and physical traits are predominately Orion, aside from the blonde hair and blue eyes she inherited from her father. Her pheromones never seemed to be strong enough to cause much trouble unless she was exceptionally stressed out. In high school she had to takes tests separate from the rest of the class to avoid a scene.

At SA Effie enrolled in the classes necessary for navigation, receiving average marks. She skipped as many classes as she attended and her dedication to the program was called into issue on several occasions, as well as the steep amount of demerits she accumulated for various misbehaviors. Effie was more interested in haunting the infirmary, asking endless questions, and flirting with the doctors than stellar cartography. Her years of watching her father had already influenced her, and Effie moved into the medical program, putting her skills to more practical use. Both her father and one of her older brothers were lost in Nero’s attack.

RP SAMPLE:

This was a bad idea. Effie glared across the booth with wide, innocent eyes, her finger drawing a lazy circle around the rim of her glass. She was no where near drunk enough for this. In fact, there wasn’t enough alcohol in the quadrant to lessen her revulsion for the arrogant son of a bitch flashing her a toothy, lecherous smile. Clearly a quiet night out with her friends was too much to ask for. Effie's icy eyes searched the dim bar, seeking out someone or something familiar that she might signal to for assistance in unloading her unwanted admirer. Nose turned up slightly, a small smirk played over her mouth as her mind sorted through all of the different ways she could make this smug idiot cry.

On some level, Effie should have known that this would happen. Going into pubs was always a bad idea for the half-Orion. People took one look at her green tinted skin and assumed she was the real deal, Orion through and through. It didn’t dawn on them that Orions didn’t have bright blue eyes or blonde hair. She had even gone out of her way to discourage the attention, tucked politely into the booth in her jeans and a Starfleet hooded sweatshirt while the other girls prowled the bar. Arching an eyebrow, Effie leaned back and tapped her glass with one chewed off fingernail. Time to make this idiot rethink bothering total strangers in pubs.

“Remind me, can humans catch Romulan syphilis?”

Effie watched the arrogant officer retreat, a small laugh escaped from her mouth but she caught it, holding it back until he was out of sight. It sure as hell wasn’t easy being green, but every once in a while... it was fun.
