A. Background Summary:
Samira is the great granddaughter of Retired Commodore Hsina Amman, a famous archaeologist and Starfleet officer of the 23rd and 24th centuries known for cracking the code of Preserver writing. Samira is the spitting image of her, and despite a genealogical lineage easily proven through detailed Starfleet records, somehow has 99.99997% identical DNA to her great grandmother. Extensive testing was done for genetic engineering, but the results are that no tampering can be found. Hsina Amman's daughters and granddaughters all had the exact same DNA as well. The belief among the scientific and medical communities is that Hsina interacted with a Preserver artifact that somehow recombined her DNA, which allowed the 23rd century officer to interact with Preserver technology that nobody else was able to interact with, and that somehow her offspring are in effect genetic clones. Neither Hsina nor any of her children or grandchildren ever had male offspring, and despite different fathers, all offspring had the same 99.99997% perfect DNA replication.
IV. Skills Profile
Samira is, simply put, brilliant. Possessed of an eidetic memory, she is especially gifted in math and languages, which she learns with the ease most people might learn a new board game.
In terms of her skills and qualifications as a scientist, Samira, like her famous great grandmother, is first and foremost an archaeologist, but also has a strong understanding of the related sciences of geology, chemistry, metallurgy and biology.
Also like her great grandmother, Samira is simply "built better" than the average human. While nobody can prove anything as her DNA appears completely human and the only tampering was to her great grandmother by the Preserver artifact. The result is that Samira will have a longer than average life span by about 25-40%, has never so much as caught a cold, and otherwise is just a "perfect specimen".
Samira (and all descendants of Hsina) all have bone and muscle density roughly equal to those of a Vulcan, and similar strength as well, depending on level of training and fitness. Samira has maintained a fanatical physical fitness regimen since she was a child and as such has the physical strength and endurance of a fit Vulcan male.
Samira's DNA was transmitted with 99/97% for the last three generations, making her a genetic clone of her great grandmother. She also had the same Preserver DNA markers coded into her DNA through her interaction with the same Preserve artifact (a bronze short sword) that recoded Hsina's DNA in the mid 23rd century. These markers provide memories from certain individuals who shared the same coding (Hsina and a few ancient Assyrians from roughly the year 3,000 BCe through 600 BCe.
Samira was also "tagged" on Birambana by an Iconian machine controlled by Xentes which gives her "Command Access" to certain Iconian interfaces and systems. Xentes recognized her through DNA markers as "One who came before".
V. Recent Fitness Report
While I, and everyone else at medical is baffled by how Cadet Amman's DNA is an exact match for her great grandmother's, the fact is that she is the picture of perfect health. I have never seen a human female display the levels of strength, endurance and dexterity of Lieutenant Amman.
Medical Officer’s Final Academy Report:
Lieutenant Amman has completed all aspects of her training without any medical issues.

VII. Psychological Profile
Lieutenant Amman is a very unusual person. She is quiet and reserved most of the time; a classic introvert, yet also has the extroverted characteristic of no shyness and a complete lack of fear. While I've interviewed her multiple times and even done so with the assistance of a Betazoid counselor, I'm unable to to get any read at all on what makes her tick.
My inability to get any read on her aside, Lieutenant Amman displays no instability, no mental conditions that would in any way disqualify her from serving in any Starfleet assignment.
Personality Type: INTP
INTP women and INTPs in general, often feel separated from the norm because of their logical way of thinking. They might struggle to feel understood by people who do not see the world through the same lens that they do. They strive to understand everything around them, and want to break down and analyze their surroundings. This is hard for INTPs because they are constantly living inside their rich inner minds, sifting through new thoughts and ideas. This makes them very intelligent people, but can sometimes cause them to feel alienated from others. In many cases they don’t mind, since most people probably get on their nerves anyways

VIII. Current Recreational Interests
Lieutenant Amman actively competes in amateur boxing and MMA ultimate fighting events, usually in "open" leagues that have no gender or even species restrictions. She possesses average or slightly above-average martial arts and boxing skills, but manages to punch way above her skill set due to her extreme pain tolerance and freakish physical strength. She’s famous in amateur fighting leagues for comparatively sloppy technique, landing fewer hits than her opponents, and having a 75:3 win:loss rate with each and every one of her wins a KO (knock-out).
IX. Miscellaneous Information
Samira has, in fact, identical DNA to her great grandmother. This has the strange effect of bringing up both her own and her great grandmother's medical files every time she is scanned on a Starfleet biobed or other medical system.
She also can interact with certain Preserver artifacts that are DNA access coded. Samira only became aware of this when interacting with Xentes and the Birambana God Door. Samira was "tagged" by Xentes for "Command Access" of Iconian systems after Xentes recognized her as "One who came before".
Samira has certain advantages and disadvantages caused by the recombined DNA of her great grandmother. Perfect health and her physical and mental skills are the most obvious advantages, while the disadvantages are a bit harder to see. Other advantages besides intelligence and strength are a very strong immune system and far faster than average healing.
Disadvantes also exist. She is completely esper-blind, meaning she has absolutely no psionic potential whatsoever, meaning that only touch-based telepathy and empathy can get completely through and non-touch forms only can make the most minimal of contact. An invasive Vulcan mind meld would work, while Betazoid empathy or telepathy would not get much at all. Other disadvantages are a complete lack of fear (can be quite dangerous as fear is there for a reason) and a bi-product to her very strong immune system is that just as she is immune to most regular dose levels of viruses and bacteria and less susceptible to most poisons than normal, she is equally immune to most medications and antidotes. Other disadvantages are manifest in her rather aloof personality that comes from simply not being able to empathize with others or put herself in their shoes. This is also common with her sisters, mother, aunts, grandmother, great aunts all the way back to great grandmother Hsina, with all of them being borderline autistic.
