Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Élan is often friendly, although she doesn't always have a cheerful demeanor. She maintains a professional demeanor while on duty that can sometimes be mistaken for detachment or aloofness. She is very dedicated to her job as a science officer, but she also shares Val's philosophy that one should enjoy life and is therefore willing to try new things. She approaches everything with veiled caution, sometimes appearing to not consider the risks involved. Val is often considered to be an oddity, even among Trill symbionts. She is very young, but has already learned much and is eager to learn more. Val feels that while caution should be observed in all things, it sometimes gets in the way and a being must simply learn to go with 'gut instinct' at times. Val is also very interested in multiple aspects of pleasure and enjoyment, and believes that life should be lived and enjoyed. While young, the Val symbiont has already earned a reputation for being 'difficult', having actually rejected a number of potential hosts because of what can best be described as 'clashes of personality'. |
