Vulnerable and sweet, she has an uncanny ability to disarm those around her. Her outward grace and staunch determination, however, hide the pain of a haunting loss. Since childhood, Serah has felt the night sky stir a wanderlust within her. Wishing to turn that yearning into a productive channel, she applied to Starfleet Academy. Her first attempt was turned down. But before the next round of applications she met a gentleman named Michael Taylor. Falling hard in love she put aside her plans in order to attended the local university with him. In her sophomore year, just weeks after Michael had proposed marriage, he died tragically in a land car accident. Serah mourned deeply. But with her love gone, she turned back to her dream of becoming a Starfleet officer. This time she was accepted into the Academy where she pursued the Communications track. Serah has been gifted with an uncanny aptitude for linguistics. She commands a passion to master as many as she can. Knowing that she will be most useful studying the linguistics of the UFP's adversaries, she has immersed herself in the both the language and history of the Klingons, Romulans, Orions, Gorn, and Nausicaans. Although Serah is an attractive young lady, she is currently too focused on her career and duties to consider the regular advances. Deep down, she feels she is not quite over the loss of Michael. But she always takes time to be with friends. In her spare time, she practices her singing and tennis. As a devout Christian, she attends worship services weekly whenever she is in port and studies privately when she is not. 1st Mission ----------- Serah Riley's first away mission proved horrifyingly traumatic. Agents of the Orion Syndicate abducted her at a backroom conference on Telani VII. While confined on a smuggling ship, she saw a fellow captive about to be raped by a over a dozen Orion crewmen. At great risk to herself, she lured in and incapacitated two of them with a pair of poisoned hairpins. She then used the guards' weapons to stun the other attackers. Shortly after delivering her charge to safety, Serah was kidnapped a second time by a rogue Section 31 agent named Captain Blake. The agent first stabbed and then shot her with a modified phaser that concealed a transporter beam that relocated her to a hidden shuttle. Five days later Serah was mysteriously beamed back aboard the LEXINGTON, her wounds almost healed and her memory of the stabbing seemily erased. Serah was awarded the Silver Star for her actions on the away mission. 2nd Mission ----------- Serah's second mission proved no less harrowing than her first. While the LEXINGTON ferried Romulan Ambassador Nanclus back to his homeworld, Serah found herself the primary suspect in his apparant assassination. Bizzarely, during a break in her interrogation, she was confronted by a future version of herself and teleported to a group of time traveling Vulcans. The Vulcans told Serah that they could only send her back to just before the assassination. They warned her that members of the senior staff may have been possessed by an alien entity, so she could not trust anyone. On her return, Serah hid the ambassador mere minutes before the attack while making it look like he had been killed. She also set sabotage devices so that when a cloaked Romulan warbird intercepted them, it would be able to send a signal to disrupt the LEX's shields and beam the ambassador to safety. Unfortunately, the LEX's Vulcan chief engineer, LT Shaav, found Serah, stalked her through the Jeffries Tubes, and eventually captured the terrified ensign. In order to determine what had happened to Nanclus, Shaav subjected Serah to a to a forced mind-meld. During the meld, Serah relived several key life memories including her last days with Michael and her supressed traumas on Telani VII at Blake's hand. To Serah's relief and anger, Shaav turned out to have been recruited by the known 31st Century time traveler LT Daniels. By the time of the meld, Daniels had already approached Captain Rafe, ensured the sabotage devices were removed, and then brought the involved parties to meet the hidden ambassador. On being confronted, Nanclus unexpectedly took Serah hostage and beamed away to the cloaked Romulan Warbird TERINAX. There Serah learned that the Ambassador had never been in any danger. The "assassination" had been a ruse to destabilize Federation-Romulan relations. The mastermind was a future version of Nanclus himself. This elder Nanclus and his ship came from a ruined Alpha Quadrant. He hoped to steer the Empire into a war that would see Romulus emerge strong enough to deal with the coming threats (presumably the Borg and Dominion). The younger Nanclus, however, did not agree with his elder's plan once its full implications had been disclosed. He was further revulsed by his older self's insistence on killing Serah who had done so much to further their plans. Conceiving a desperate plan to save them, the younger Nanlcus had Serah brought to him on the pretense that he would rape and then murder her. Already terrorized repeatedly by recent events, the threat of this final trauma pushed Serah beyond the breaking point even as Nanclus assured her that he would not harm her. The damage to her psyche was only compounded when by neccessity she helped Nanclus lure his older self to the room to slit his throat. Serah knew the older Nanclus was ultimately responsible for her suffering in the last 24 hours and thought she could take pleasure at watching his death. She was devestated to realize in that vengeful moment that she could never be the same person again. In an effort to redeem herself, she persuaded Nanclus not to torture the guard who had brought her in. Serah's compassionate gesture led Nanclus to first try convincing the captive Centurion to help him take over the ship and defuse the incident. The attempt failed. Serah and Nanclus escaped using one of the TERINAX's armored shuttles. Once the TERINAX was destroyed and the pair safely returned to the LEXINGTON, Serah began her long recovery process from her first two mission's traumas. 3rd Mission ----------- Serah was granted a brief Leave of Absence. Then she was co-opted by Section 31's Blake to help rescue Captain Rafe of the LEXINGTON from the Klingons. After that encounter, she was briefly assigned as the Assistant COMM Officer, USS HOOD on her return. Before she could assume duties, Mr. Daniels from the 31st Century appeared and took her forward in time to restore her personality to what it was supposed to have been without the time-travel related traumas. She was returned to almost the same moment she left in the 23rd Century and was transferred off ship to her next assignment aboard the USS REPUBLIC. 4th Mission ----------- Serah's fourth mission took place aboard the USS REPUBLIC alongside her sister Claire. Due to political interference, the ship's CO was transferred off and Claire took command. The REPUBLIC rescued the survivors of a hijacked prototype starship and continued on to investigate an archeological curiosity on Cornelia Prime. Entering into a fantasy-like world controled by a malevolant being, Serah once again faced her worst fear in the form of a horde of phantom Orion men. Before they could rape her, she was rescued by the XO, LCDR Scorpio Haden. She in turn killed the being controlling the fantasy world. Post-Mission ------------ Serah decided to finish her tour with her sister and began studying for a psychology degree with plans to become a trauma counselor. She transferred with Claire to the newly rebuilt STARBASE 9 as the COMM chief. En route, she met a young Lieutenant JG named Chris Hastings. They are currently in a romantic relationship. ========================================================================== IV. Official Star Fleet Record ============================== A.

Recent Fitness Reports ========================== 2261.012 Serah Riley is in top athletic shape. No physical limitations found. No diseases or conditions found. She is cleared for active duty. -- Dr. Asaph Staff Attending, Starfleet Academy 2261.243 Serah Riley is recovering from a stab wound. She is restricted to light duty for ten days. 2262.078 Serah Riley's last two missions have caused her severe mental trauma and per the Captain's recommendation, she is granted a 2 week leave of absence. --Dr. Posck ========================================================================== VII. Psychological Profile ========================== Serah appears to me every bit the bright, well adjusted young woman that her previous evaluated described her. She is quite popular among her classmates, is always encouraging, eager to please, and is pleasantly dedicated to seeing the bright side of any situation. -- CDR Nicholas Ryan Staff Psychologist, Starbase 1 Serah has shown remarkable resilience for a woman who in her first two missions has been repeatedly assaulted physically and mentally. Her reliance on the staff Chaplain for counsel and her faith have born this remarkable young woman through, I believe, the worst of her recovery. She is eager to return to duty though to err on the side of caution, I recommend she be restricted to a subordinate position until she has had more time to heal. -- LCDR Alyssa Creighton Staff Psychologist, Starbase 8 ========================================================================== VIII. Current Recreational Interests ==================================== Singing, Tennis, Exolinguistics and Exohistory ========================================================================== IX. NRPG Notes ==================================== Serah Riley is named for the Final Fantasy XIII character Serah Farron and naturally bears a striking resemblance to that character. Serah's surname was changed to "Riley" in honor of the United States Army post that the author Brian Mansur was once stationed. ==========================================================================
