Personal history

The sickeningly hot summer of this small town never failed to suffocate Pleiades, letting out a sigh of annoyance, she marches her way to the only hospital she had ever known.
 
Hand made lunchbox in her backpack and bouquet of flowers in her arms, she enters the concrete building and gave a small nod to the receptionist. They knew she would come, thus they made no efforts to stop her as she made her way into the patients' quarters.
 
Room 3, room 4, room 5... Finally she made her way to room 6 and opened the door. The old woman who did nothing but stare out the window in meloncholy all morning finally turned her head to greet the young girl. She doesn't seem happy to see her visitor.
 
The old woman starts scolding Pleiades, telling her she should be enjoying life more instead of taking care of a good for nothing old hag. Pleiades laughs it off as she changes the water inside the flower base that sat by the window cell. This was normal, she had heard this lecture time and time again, and so she didn't mind.
 
Suddenly, the old woman goes quiet, and thanks her for visiting. Strange, she never does that. And yet Pleiades took no particular interest in this change of behaviour, continuing to take care of the flowers.
 
"Live peacefully." The old woman whispered, "You don't have to be great, you don't have to have honor, destroy the world if you need to. Promise me that someday, no matter what happens, you will achieve true happiness."
 
Finally, Pleiades realized something was wrong. She snapped her head towards the old woman to find her eyes closed. It hasn't been that long since sunrise, and yet the bright lights weren't enough for the old woman to wake up. How tragic. The only person who cared about her wasn't her family, nor her friends, for she did not have any. It was a young girl who took pity on the famous grumpy old lady of this borish town.
 
Were you really happy? Is this the ending you wished for? No one was there to answer Pleiades' questions.
 
After staring at the lifeless shell of what used to be her best friend, she stared out the window to look at the sky. Bright lights were reflected inside her eyes, and the sky kept on spinning above her.
 
Spinning, spinning, spinning inside her head like a merry-go-round...
 
"Live peacefully."
 
And this single blessing was her starting point, and this single curse was her demise.

Education

What do humans need to live peacefully? Pleiades asked herself this question until it made her sick. Her small town seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality there were many problems beneath its facade.
 
Resource problems, political problems, gossips between citizens... As long as she had to deal with these nonsense, Pleiades would never be able to achieve true peace.
 
What do humans need to live peacefully? Wealth, power, and respect. This was the answer she ended up in.
 
Luckily for her, she was good at academics. Perhaps not a genius, but enough to be towards the top of the class in the small town school.
 
It's not enough to gain stability however, so she decided to go to the starfleet academy to gain the necessary education to gain respect.
 
Rivalry and jealousy could lead to instability. Her background from a tiny town aided her in this way. She had to work harder than most just to pass her classes, diverting her classmates away from her. As the years went by and her hard work paid off, now she was more knowledgeable than most of her classmates.
 
She still kept her grades at 'barely passing' however. The incompetent character was much too convinient to give up.

Failures & Embarrassments

Ruining an away mission by killing a guard which led to everyone in the mission almost being killed.

Mental Trauma

If you ask anyone in the small village of DeForest Wisconsin about a young girl named Freya Ellis, they will all say that she was a young child who went missing many years ago.
 
Due to her intoxicated and abusive partner, Freya's mother was forced to raise her child on her own. However, being trapped in a household of domestic abuse with an infant led to multiple complications. It did not take time for Freya's mother to take out her anger and frustrations on her child.
 
Raised in a violent household without proper education nor care led to Freya having multiple developmental issues, one of which was psychopathy, while another became more apperant when she started to learn how to speak.
 
The entire three years she lived with her parents, she never learned to address her mother as 'mom.' Her father always yelled at her mother using her real name, so the young child had no context on how to properly address her mother like any other children. This greatly upset her mother, as she belived it was Freya's way of saying that she will never consider her family. Every time Freya addressed her mother with her real name, she would be beaten using a alcohol bottle that her father left around the house. Similar thing happened when she tried to address her father as well. Eventually, this led to Freya's mind shutting out true names of people, including her own.
 
One day, Freya's mother brought her outside to shop for groceries. A certain old woman noticed something was wrong with the child.
 
And when the mother wasn't looking, the old woman dragged Freya away.
 
"How sad! I don't know what your true name is! Hm~. I know. You can be my 'daughter', don't worry about the massive age gap between us. In that case, we can have the same last name... But what should your first name be? ....I know! I'll name you after the happiest moment of my life!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
From now on, your name will be Pleiades Solace!!"
 
******
 
Pleiades was adopted by the woman dubbed "the old crazy lady" by the towns people. She was separated from her parents at the age of 3 for unknown reasons, but the old woman noted her inability to remember names at this time.
 
The old woman was not the most affectionate person, nor the most reasonable, but she had enough morality to take care of Pleiades in the most normal way possible.
 
"Most normal," but not quite normal.
 
There was a time when Pleiades was bullied at school for being the "daughter" of the infamous old woman. It started out mildly enough, simple bullying that although traumatic for a young mind, still within the range of reason.
 
But soon enough, it became deadly.
 
Pushing her down the stairs, hiding sharp objects inside her bag, putting hand sanitizers into her food… Even Pleiades who usually stayed away from social complications, were forced to go to her caretaker for help.
 
But the advice given to her were much too cruel and damaging for a young mind.
 
"If they hurt you, hurt them back."
 
Those simple words and a silver knife.
 
The next day, when the school bell rang to signal the end of the day, the sky was stained with blood.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The young man who bullied Pleiades as a child also went to Starfleet academy, and many believed that they were on good terms due to how Pleiades acted around him.
 
But under his collected mask, the man was terrified of the young girl, of the length she would go to in order to keep her peace.
 
She couldn't keep track of all her sins, and well,
 
This is the result.

Morality & Philosophy

What is peace to Pleiades Solace?
 
Many would answer: the world without disturbance.
 
However, Pleiades would answer differently.
Social peace, the most difficult thing for humans to achieve, regardless of their abilities or friendliness.
 
"Emotional peace? I never had correct human emotions to begin with. World peace? That is far too much to carry on my shoulders. All I wish for is to stay as a nobody, a background character that no one pays attention to."
 
To Pleiades, peace means three things. Wealth, power, and respect. Enough to avoid social humilation, but not so much that it brews jealousy by a third party.
 
This was one of the reason she joined starfleet academy: she believed that in a setting filled with students lusting for power, she could blend into the background as 'a student who's good but not good enough to be spectacular.'
 
Peace is everything to Pleiades, although she defines it differently from how others typically would. And she would not stop at anything to achieve that peace.
 
"I thought that after joining Electra, people could forget about me as an incompetent cadet and stop expecting anything from me. But then Dimitar happened and well... I'm back to where I started. How unfortunate."

person.sexuality

According to Pleiades herself: "If I ever became sexually or romantically involved.... Knowing me, I'd probably lock up the said person, beat them, drug them until they only remember me... I am not saying I would do it, but I can see myself in that state... Even for me, that's frightening. So I never thought about it. ...I actively avoided thinking about it."

Taboos

"Are you kidding me?
 
Are you actually kidding me...?!
 
You disrupted my peace for such trvial reasons?! Unjustified hatred that you couldn't sort out like a reasonable person?!
 
Ha... Haha....
 
Ahahaha.....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
 
HA... ha... aha.... haaa.....
 
It's taking every fiber of my being to not break you apart....
 
So instead, I'll make sure you can never forget this day."

Personality

Motivation

Pleiades wishes she could expirence what others experience.
 
Love, happiness, compassion, sympathy...
 
However, she quickly learned that all of those are out of reach. If she cannot obtain love and happiness in her life, she at least wished she could live peacefully. After all, that is what her caretaker told her to strive for.
 
What she doesn't admit, is that even her caretaker told her that peace was only a means to an end. At her core, Pleiades desires love. She dreams of becoming a 'human.'
