Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Abril Hirano is a native of Ursula Majoris 7, a Federation Colony that endured a period of occupation during the Cardassian Federation War. Abril enlisted in Starfleet in 2382, attending Starfleet Technical Services Academy on Mars - specializing in Security Studies. An intuitive Security Officer with a gift for lateral thinking - Petty Officer (3rd Class) Abril Hirano serves as a Security Investigations Officer. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Abril was raised on a colony world pivotal to the Cardassian / Federation Neutral Zone by a family that developed strong Marquis political tendencies. Whilst Starfleet training and a milder disposition mean that she does not possess the visceral loathing of Cardassians, she nevertheless has little love for them (especially members of the Obsidian Order) and finds it difficult to deal civilly with her former oppressors. | |
| Ambitions | Abril has worked her way up the enlisted ladder to her current rank of Petty Officer (Third Class), firstly as a Brig Officer and more recently as a Security Investigations Officer. Abril is a naturally intuitive detective and has her sights set on attaining a Warrant Officer's commission and securing a key role with the Office of the Starfleet Judge Advocate General. |
|
| Hobbies & Interests | Abril is a keen outdoors-woman, enjoying hiking and hunting - but her real passion centers around Mountaineering. Abril has attempted many notable summits both in person and via the holodeck. In her personal time she is similarly insular, preferring to read tomes on History and Psychology - two facets that fascinate her during her on - duty hours. |
| Personal History | Abril Hirano was born on the Federation colony world of Ursula Majoris 7 in 2364, during the closing stages of the bitter series of skirmishes that typified the Federation / Cardassian War. The only serving daughter of Ramon Hirano (an orbital cargo – dock operator) and Sia Hirano ( a med – tech), Abril’s earliest memories was of hardship and conflict under Cardassian occupation. The liberation of Ursula Majoris by Starfleet forces and the eventual establishment of the Neutral Zone made a lasting impression on young Abril – however the scars of war were scored deeply in the hearts of her fellow colonists and in particularly her Father – who lost Abril’s elder brother Herve during the occupation and harbored both a visceral hatred of the Cardassians and resentment towards the United Federation of Planets for their inaction. When Ursula Majoris 7 was ceded back to the Cardassian Union by treaty and absorbed into the Neutral Zone, Ramon Hirano became an active member of the Marquis Resistance and was consigned to a Federation Penal Facility for his actions during the conflict. When Abril announced her intention to enlist in Starfleet, her Father disowned his only daughter entirely and Abril manages to maintain only a strained relationship with her Mother. Nevertheless, that same single – minded determination and sense of purpose that typified Abril, were the same qualities that saw her persevere at Starfleet Technical Academy and form an abiding sense of Justice and moral certitude. |

Abril served aboard the USS Erskine with distinction, attaining the Rank of Crewman and serving as the ship’s Brig Officer. On Stardate 2387, Abril Hirano was promoted to the Rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class and gained the opportunity to cross train in the advanced career specialization of Security Investigations Officer.
