History
| Personal History | Sharrina was born on her mother's ship the FireRider to Mora of the House of Koroth and Richard Kyle Blackstone, a Starfleet Captain during one of the few times he took leave. Because they both lived in different worlds and neither could change for the other, they agreed to share custody of their daughter and raise her equally exposed to both cultures. And when Richard got leave, he spent it with Mora and Sharrina, usually on a planet that was neither completely Klingon nor Human. Every year, she would spend half the year with Mora and the other half with Richard. Each taught her their aspects of her combined heritage and to respect both. From her father, she learned the Native American way. She learned to honor spirituality and to meditate and find center and calm. She learned how to Spirit Walk and to listen to her Guide. From her mother, she learned the arts of war and combat. She learned an appreciation for all things Klingon and that she was just as much Klingon as any full-blood. From Mora's crew, she learned the give and take of both bladed and verbal combat. They sharpened her skills and her wits. But when she turned 18, her parents gave her the choice of what she would do with her life. Neither would tell her what they wanted because they wanted it to be her choice since she was the one who would have to live with it. She chose Starfleet, and her father recommended her to the Academy. There she made friends she would cherish for the rest of her life. She also learned to appreciate the lessons of diversity her parents had taught her as each of these people was very different than those she'd grown up with. Her favorite quickly became the felinoids, who seemed capable of giving as good as any Klingon when it came to verbal combat. She graduated the Academy with honors, to no surprise of her parents. They both were proud of her but expected no less of their daughter. She was then sent to serve aboard the USS StarChaser for the five-year duration of her time as an Ensign, at which time she was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and transferred to the USS Altair-C. Here she served for ten years, the duration of her time in the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade and Lieutenant. At the end of that time, she was recommended for the two-year Advanced Tactical Training course on Syria Planum by her captain. She completed that in the top 5% of her class and was assigned to the USS Essex with a promotion to Lieutenant Commander. After three years, she was again promoted to Commander and continued to serve there for another two years. At that time, the Essex's Captain retured, and Sharrina was promoted to Captain and given that ship. Four years later, Starfleet had the brilliant idea to send her to Starbase 237, a fringe post, but the posting to Starbase Magellan came up and she could not pass up the opportunity to truly go where no one, or at least very vew, had been before! So she requested immediate transfer. While she will be far away from her family, she looks forward to the new challenges that this assignment will bring. |

| Medical History | Sharrina is in excellent health. She does show signs of having had some of the common childhood illnesses of both of her heritages, but she seems only to have been made stronger by these. There is also, as with most Klingons and half Klingons, evidence of broken bones that have been knitted. These injuries appear to be very old, likely acquired during her childhood or young adult life. |
