<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Ship's Counselor</span></div><br/>Full Name: Sahara Tir<br/>Current assignment: Ship's Counselor<br/>Rank: Lieutenant<br/>Age: 32<br/>Gender Identity: Female<br/>Species: Betazoid<br/>Marital status: Single<br/>Sexual Orientation: Bisexual<br/>Children: Husky puppy named Daisy<br/><br/>Professional Assessment:  Sahara Tir’s calm, introverted personality hasn’t stopped her from acquiring the top medical position on board the USS McNair.  She is very strong-willed, and very work oriented.  Calm and level-headed, she normally tries to not mix business and pleasure.  Sahara finds it hard to form any kind of close relationship, finding them to be a nuisance in her life.  She is focused on her career, and finds little time to stop and enjoy life for what it is.   When push comes to shove, she can be counted on to put her job before anything else. Thus, making her very reliable as a worker.<br/><br/>Psychological Profile: Report by Counselor Angela Dickers, Starfleet Counseling<br/>Ms. Tir has been found to be a mix of outward and inward personalitiesShe is an honest individual, very straight-forward in nature; never being known to lie to a person once asked something.  This sort of honesty may be considered a fault by those that cannot handle brutal honesty of this nature.  This trait goes hand in hand with her headstrong nature, which seems to be  quite surprising, because she can be both outgoing and quiet depending on what type of mood she is in, making her one of a limited 40% of her race that are functional extroverts.  Kind and gentle in nature, she is capable of being empathetic, and can successfully display a wide range of emotions recognizable to those of the human race.<br/><br/><br/>Medical File: As all Betazoids are telepathic, Sahara usually does not need to vocalize her thoughts to another Betazoid in order to communicate, but can do so for the benefit of offworlders. It is a natural ability among her race, and her own personal ability to do so is quite strong, having a keen sensory telepathic skill set, necessary for her survival. Externally, Betazoids are among the most humanoid species on record, and are indistinguishable from humans in every aspect. The telepathic and empathic abilities of Sahara’s Betazoid creation need strict discipline to control and therefore she usually confine to herself.<br/><br/>There are also cases of over-empathic abilities, and those who suffer from such extremes must be counseled and trained to avoid insanity, but are almost always affected throughout their life. Sahara finds herself uncomfortable around those whose mind she cannot read. Similarly, the minds of animals can be a bit frightening to her, and she tend to prefer smaller animals, hence the company of her puppy.<br/><br/>Her mind contains the paracortex, her telepathic lobe, which is highly capable of recovery from injury, and includes the "metaconsciousness," or a trauma filter. In addition, her REM sleep frequency is different than for most humanoids.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy145/alxnjsh/startrek/cmo.jpg?t=1284594612)</div><br/>Played by: Pixilicious
