Editing Marina Kseniya Sebastien (section)

=='''Psychological Profile'''==
Rina has a restless and mechanically inquisitive mind and it manifests as fidgeting and general twitchiness when she's forced to be idle.  Rina loathes inactivity and will keep herself busy finicking with small projects and gadgets as much as possible. To stave off stir craziness, Rina will keep a clipboard or notebook and pen at hand, the better to jot down ideas and sketch designs as they occur to her.  Her pockets on-duty and off will have any number of tools, and they will spend more time out of her pockets than in.

When dealing with machines and ships systems, she's incredibly patient and thorough.  When dealing with people, however, she's pretty much the opposite.  She's blunt and abrasive, careless of their feelings, and brutally honest.  Rina's not unaware of her shortcomings and though she'd rather wait and become familiar with others before throwing herself into conversations and debates, her curiosity and temperament rarely afford her that luxury.  Rina spends a fair amount of time in her social interactions supressing her natural inclinations and her success is usually mixed, with more favorable outcomes occurring with those she knows best.
<br><br>

Due to her hard-knocks experience, she has trained herself to constantly size up her environment for ambush chokepoints, locating means of entrance and escape, and checking for weapons either actual or improvised.  She has trained herself to focus on the job at hand to the exclusion of everything else, driving herself to her limits. She does not accept the no-win scenario. She does not take captivity or forced inactivity well: both states drive her to desperation, putting her firmly in a fight-or-flight, prisoner-escape mental mode. Thanks to her innate talents and her indomitable will, she has been able to persevere through situations that would have defeated others, further convincing her that no matter what, she will win in the end, that her paranoia is justified. Even so, Rina understands hers is not a healthy mindset and is taking steps to remedy it. <br><br>
