[edit] General Description & Personality Overview

Li is strong and determined, dedicated to her position, and expects full effort from those on her staff. She does not require anything of her crew mates that she will not give herself, however, and never hesitates to pitch in when needed. Lead by example is a strong belief of hers. She believes in utmost professionalism when on duty but is not averse to a more relaxed atmosphere when off. Those who know her readily admit that she is hard to get a good feel for. The real Li seems hard to place, perhaps from her years of intel work. Those who do take the time to get to know her soon find that beneath the polished exterior lies a wicked sense of humor and a love of adventure.

[edit] Hobbies & Interests

Li is an avid reader and the subjects that pull her attention are varied indeed. Her passion, however, is history - specifically, intelligence tactics of some of the most legendary warrior groups across the ages. Her hobbies include yoga to keep her centered, as well as maintaining the vast array of plants and flowers that fill her quarters - especially rare orchids. She is an avid chess player and practitioner of martial arts in the Betazed tradition.

[edit] Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Determination and the willingness to go the extra mile whenever necessary are her primary strengths. She believes in her ideals and will uphold them no matter what.

Weakness: She tends to be somewhat emotionally reserved on the surface, not liking to display her own personal, deeply-felt emotions publicly.

[edit] Ambitions

CMDR Hawke’s ambitions center on her Starfleet career, hoping to follow in her father’s (retired intelligence) footsteps. The Borg threat had strengthened that focus and now, backed by a fierce drive, her aim is to assure the safety of the fleet and the worlds it protects.

[edit] Personal History

Li was born on July 14, 2357 on Betazed of one of the last of the Noble Houses. As was customary, she was promised at that time to the son of a close associate of her father’s. Her wedding to Rhys Balasz was put on hold, however, when she chose to join Starfleet. There was no surprise at her decision, spurred as she was by stories of the horrors of the Dominion War, as well as what she recalled from early childhood, and her father’s time in the Resistance. Her father was especially pleased that she chose to follow his lead and move into the intelligence field.

She graduated in 2379 with a specialty in Intelligence and Covert Ops. The timing was fortuitous. The establishment of the Fourth Fleet was underway. In January 2384, a Borg Cube destroyed Starbase 900 and led to the discovery of the Solaria Gateway, giving the Fleet access to the Delta Quadrant.

Following the destruction of Starbase 900, she was reassigned to various covert assignments. Starbase 900 was restored in the summer of 2384 and she returned to it as her base of operations. It was during this time, in 2384, that her twin brother Nahi was killed, just before the new year, when a shuttle he piloted from Starbase 900 exploded, mere feet from the shuttle bay. It was determined to be sabotage. She spent several months investigating the death, but the results were dissatisfying and vague. Leads led to dead ends, and they were finally forced to close the investigation in early 2386. In the summer of 2386, she received word that the USS Berkeley was being recommissioned. An offer was made to oversee the ship’s intelligence crew for the Delta Quadrant exploratory missions and she eagerly accepted.
