<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/13/Sephone-pilla.JPG)</div><br/>Name:  Dr. Sephone Nagala<br/>Rank:  Major, Colonial Fleet (Reserves)<br/>Position:  Medical Officer<br/>Age: 34<br/>Eyes: Green<br/>Hair: Blond<br/>Weight:  100<br/>Height: 5'2"<br/><br/>To the disappointment of Admiral Nagella, his only child Sephone, never had any aspiration to serve in the Fleet.  She knew from childhood that she was going to be a doctor and directed her energy and considerable will to that end, even though it put her in conflict with the father she loved.  She joined the Reserves after completing medical school, not to appease him but in the hopes of better understanding him.<br/><br/>Medicine and the military shared the need for discipline and dedication but too often military ideals conflicted with the beliefs that led her to choose medicine as her life’s calling She dutifully did her service once a year, usually giving recruits on Tauren their physicals, and the remainder of her year was spent practicing medicine in a prestigious hospital in Caprica City.  That is, until she received the orders to report to the Ares to serve as Medical Officer. She knew her father had pulled some strings to have her placed aboard the battlestar for its shakedown cruise. He admitted it when she confronted him; just once he wanted her to experience what life in the Fleet was like and understand why it meant so much to him.  She realized she could push him to let her out of the duty he dragged her into but decided, just once, to serve aboard a fleet vessel.<br/><br/>(Per)sephone Nagella is morally uncompromising and will always put medical needs before military objectives.  Although she had a privileged childhood, she had to work hard to achieve her goals and therefore has no respect for people who don’t give 110%.  Her bedside manner is warm and patient; frequently giving others the impression that she is weak and easily manipulated, when in fact she is strong-willed and resolute.<br/>
