ENS. Vashic Martla

Martla was born on a Bajoran colony world that did not emmigrate to Bajor after liberation and resisted Federation absorption for two decades.

She was a quiet child of a single mother. She was a solid student and finished medical school with respectable marks. She completed a residency in family medicine before joining Starfleet. She is a trained trauma physician. USS Discovery is her first deep space post.

She is still quiet and withdrawn. She is well-liked by her colleagues but rarely socializes with them. She prefers to spend evenings in her quarters but does attend formal social events.

She has an anxiety condition exasperated by an invasion of USS Discovery several years earlier. It has manifested in attacks and phobias. While on duty, she is focused. Off duty, the lack of structure is detrimental to her.
