Myra Voss is a twenty-five-year-old Betazoid-Human hybrid and Starfleet Lieutenant specializing in counseling and diplomacy. Born on Betazed to a Betazoid father and Human mother, Myra grew up immersed in both cultures, developing a deep appreciation for different perspectives and an enduring curiosity about people unlike herself.

A gifted empath, Myra can sense the emotions of those around her with remarkable precision, though she cannot read thoughts or memories. Her abilities, combined with extensive psychological training, make her an exceptional counselor and mediator. Intense crowds or powerful emotions can occasionally overwhelm her senses, but years of training have made her highly capable of managing the emotional noise.

Myra graduated at the top of her class from Starfleet Academy, excelling in counseling, interpersonal psychology, and diplomatic studies before eventually earning the rank of Lieutenant. Warm, compassionate, and reassuring without being timid, she prefers understanding and diplomacy but has no difficulty becoming assertive when circumstances require it.

Outside her specialty, Myra is endlessly curious about unfamiliar cultures, ideas, and technology. She has a particular fascination with engineering and can frequently be found pestering engineers with questions about whatever interesting piece of machinery has caught her attention.

Kind-hearted, quietly confident, and genuinely excited by exploration, Myra believes almost everyone has something worth teaching her if she's willing to listen.
