| Physical Description | Tall, slender and graceful, Solene carries herself well and looks good for whatever age she is. Her skin is taught and youthful and her age betrays a false sense of delicacy over her slim and active frame. Her platinum white hair is famous and is considered her trade mark, and is always impeccably styled. Speaking of impeccably styled, despite her age (or perhaps because of it) Solene is always expertly dressed, preferring alternating tight and flowing materials to make a grandiose fashion statement and to let everyone know, without question, that she’s “Still got it”. | |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | A refined woman of excellent taste, Solene is also a woman of impeccable character. She’s seen much in her many years and has an indomitable and adventurous spirit. Most people stereotype diplomats as beuracrats, especially in Starfleet, but Solene is anything but. She enjoys formality and protocol but is just as liberal and funloving as everyone else. Solene knows how to party down and engage in social activities while retaining her sense of elegance, class and style, and does not think herself above people until she has gotten to know them a little better. She also has a legendary wit and an amazing laugh that has brightened up many a ballroom. One would think such a refined and famously elegant woman as Solene would be dissatisfied with an assignment to a small, cramped, Nova Class vessel but she seems to enjoy it. She might have even requested it, for reasons unknown. | |
| Strengths | Solene seems to know everyone who’s anyone in the Alpha Quadrant, and makes oblique references to important people and friends in high places. She considers name dropping unless to help others as vulgar and impertinent, regarding it as amateurish. There is only one name Solene needs to open doors, her own. Solene is loyal to those around her and is not afraid of going out on a ledge for people or serving as a mentor and advisor to others outside of her formal duties, which never seem to end. For her, her career is a way of life and permeates everything she does, but apparently not to her detriment. Solene is rarely flustered by surprises and inconveniences, unlike some of her colleagues and is famously easy to work with. | |
| Weaknesses | “What an impertinent question. Oh my dear why would I tell you all of the bad things about myself?” | |
| Ambitions | A woman with unknown years to live, Solene seems content to float about the galaxy. She’s not a vagabond however and seems to carry her enormous shadow wherever she goes, not stating her own importance but reminding people (somehow) through her grace and sophistication, mixed with easy going and liberal attitudes that she has seen and accomplished much in her life. If she has anything substantial left on her ‘bucket list’ or if she even has one, is unknown. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Solene has acquired many hobbies and interests over her long, long life including an interest in sports (though she is refined in her interests, never resulting to shouting or crass language), the great books of many cultures, and over all, the fine arts. She has impeccable taste in the arts and knew a great many of the great masters of various art movements, sometimes betraying her old age. Solene is a wellspring of hidden talents acquired in her travels and life as a diplomat. She cooks all of her own meals, knows how to sew her own clothes and knows many languages. She is also well acquainted with history, though it is unclear how much she has read, and how much she actually experienced. | |
| Vernacular | Considering her ‘European-ness’ most would assume her to have a haughty continental accent, but instead Solene has a North American one. Still very refined, Solene’s voice carries itself without the weight of an accent, her authority and sophistication coming from other aspects of her voice and physicality. Her voice has slight elderly idiosyncrasies like some breaks where there is a hum or an ‘um’ that betrays her age, but these are slight and overshadowed by other things. | |
| Orientation | Heterosexual | |
| Language(s) Spoken | Many, many languages, she is known to be fluent in the languages of all the Great Powers as well as many Terran languages and dialects of other planets. |
| Personal History | Solene has a very vague past pepper by colorful references and alludes to famous people, even without naming them. Her true age, place of birth and even her species are unknown and her name is presumed to be the last in a long line of aliases. Photo-recognition software being what it is, Solene has been observed in photographic records dating back centuries, though under different names. This field is left blank in her file but she is presumed to be an El-Aurian or some other long lived race. What little is known of Solene’s history (outside of her Starfleet record) can be broken down into 7 sentences. “I was born in a crowning jewel of civilization, a beautiful city, so full of life and interesting people.” “Actually I went to art school; my training is in the traditional fine arts my dear, not the arts of the diplomatic corps.” “My family is a rather large and complicated affair, a happy one though.” “Oh I think seventeen husbands is enough, wouldn’t you say? “I’ve been in a few wars in my day.” “Starfleet and I have a very long relationship.” “Needless to say my involvement with Presidential politics ended there.” There are other alludes to her life, but they are far more nuanced and veiled, and it would take time to track them all down regardless. |

| Starfleet History | Most of her service history is as blank as other elements of her past. It’s not classified, it’s simply missing.
