| Personal History | Ausra grew in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana on Earth. She was the second child born to Amelie and George Danton. She has an older brother Paul, a younger brother Rais, and a younger sister Serafina. When she was fifteen years old Ausra witnessed her younger sister being hit by an antique land vehicle. Seven year old Serafina was nearly killed and to this day has learning and developmental disabilities from the accident and is confined to a hoverchair. To a teenage Ausra it felt as if her world had crumbled around her. Between the hospital visits and the extra effort it took to take care of her sister she withdrew from her friends and teachers. It took her many years to learn to be close to those not in her immediate family as she felt that no one understood what she and her family had gone through. To this day she still has trouble with intimacy. Upon reaching adulthood Ausra decided that she wanted to learn to help others like her, who had experienced tragedies in their life. She went through Starfleet Academy and then Starfleet Medical and graduated near the top of her class. Upon graduating she was assigned to the USS Magellan as an assistant counselor. After serving on board for over a year she became moody and depressed. Due to some intervention by a friend she discovered that she wasn’t happy forcing officers to talk to her about their intimate problems. Ausra felt trapped in the role and didn’t think she was really helping anyone. At the two year mark she requested a leave of absence and went home to Earth to try and figure out what she really wanted to do with her life. She spent a year on Earth trying to find her passion, finally deciding that what she loved best was nothing more than discovery. And what better way to help people than to make scientific advancements within the fleet. She rejoined the fleet on the USS Edwards as a science officer where she was stationed for two years. Her only difficulty being that she didn’t manage to make any close friends on that ship. After two years she was transferred to the USS Beltane where she remained for a year as Assistant Chief Science Officer before requesting a new position on the USS Athena, pushing herself to become Chief Science Officer. Ausra, despite her scientific interest, is very spiritual and considers herself Pagan because she still believes in things that can’t be seen and that there is a bit of magic in the universe around her. But she generally keeps her beliefs to herself fearing that she may someday be ridiculed. |
