| Summary | T'Shan is one of the few known Vulcan-Andorian hybrids, and the only one on record with her unique physiology. She is an energetic overachiever and consummate go-getter, but she still can't outsmart her own youth and inexperience. She keeps her emotions well contained and controlled, but her antennae will often involuntary betray her feelings. |

Physical State
| Physical Description | T'Shan has a unique hybrid physiology. The green swathes of pigment in her blue skin seem to drift and morph imperceptibly slow across her like clouds. They are often symmetrical, but never predictable. T’Shan is the result of the meddling of extradimensional beings as gratitude to her parents. Her anatomy is not so much a hybrid Vulcan/Andorian physiology, but one with elements of both and several traits inspired by but not featured in either. She is not a higher being by any means, her overall physical condition is equal to that of a healthy Vulcan woman of her age and lifestyle. Her hearing is slightly better than that of an average Vulcan, but her eyesight is a little below standard, closer to an Andorian average. Her eyebrows however are purely black and speak to her Vulcan ancestry, but thicker than would be common, even in her father’s family. Her ears are also large and pointed in the Vulcan fashion. She has lavender eyes. She experiences a discomfort there is no word for in Federation standard in average temperatures where her body will think it is both too hot and too cold, she can endure great extremes at either end but prefers an excess of thirty C or less than 8 for maximum comfort, and will often wear thermal or cooling uniform underlays where she does not have a room to herself where she can set the temperature. Her metabolism can be unpredictable, and although she has the iron stomach of a Vulcan, she has several common Andorian allergies, but most are treatable. She has an Andorian predisposition to increased injury from several types of energy weapons that can paralyse her body’s healing factor, but she also possesses the typical Vulcan resistance to many kinds of ionising radiation. She keeps fit through regular exercise, following an Andorian regime of daily holographic challenges and preparative body-strength exercises. Her antenna are excessively sensitive by Andorian standards, which grants her an unrivalled spatial awareness in open areas. In any enclosed space however, like almost everywhere one finds on a starship, she will bury them in her hair when she does not have confidence in sustained silence or stillness to keep them from overwhelming her. Fortunately her thick hair provides quite excellent insulation, and as such many don’t think or believe that she has them. Her telepathic abilities are fairly mild, not particularly developed and are purely touch-based. |

Personality & Traits
| General Overview | T’Shan has always been an overachiever, and this seems unlikely to change. She is energetic, attentive, and sympathetic to the needs and feelings of those around her, while essentially logical in the Vulcan tradition. In spite of her consistently positive intentions, to the less logical, she can seem cold and odd. She maintains Kolihnar and all the necessary exercises (and some unnecessary) to suppress her emotions, but her powerful Andorian instincts and adrenal glands can overcome her usually masterful calm in the event of any circumstance that activates her well-buried fight-or-flight response. She socialises eagerly but can miss some cues and overstep some boundaries among any society less literal and direct than Vulcans or Andorians, and as such she is strategic about how deeply she engages others outside of a professional setting. She takes great pride in her work, and is generally positive and optimistic, but can be prone to mood swings in emotionally extreme circumstances, though these are rarely obvious to others. She is happiest when she has a task to perform, and functions well with others but better apart. In spite of her kolinahr, she is competitive and has difficulty turning down challenges. She takes the honour of both her Andorian clan and Vulcan lineage seriously, though sometimes struggles to reconcile the standards and expectations of both in a single existence. She wishes she was closer to her mother’s people. She enjoys most kinds of recreation but is very capable of entertaining herself for almost indefinite periods. Since childhood she has learned and practiced the amvhuii (a wooden instrument likened to an Andorian didgeridoo) but does not consider her abilities to be at the level where others should witness them. |
| Personal History | T'Shan was raised for the first four years of her life in a pocket dimension by her parents. Her mother was unable to remain with them any longer after that, she had become a higher being and travelled beyond her native dimension with the rest of her new kind. Her father raised her with assistance from her older half-brother, and it quickly became apparent that she was a bright, gifted and healthy young woman, despite her physical characteristics stumping doctors and researchers alike. |
