Personality & Traits

General Overview		Folami is an intense individual who commands the respect of those who interact with her. She is incredibly understated, and does not have to project or announce herself to anyone. She has a beleaguered sense of humor, but she is working on it. One of her main qualities is her ability to get along with anyone; it is very difficult to piss her off. She will let you know if you are out of line but it is only in extreme cases that she will lose her cool. Young female members of Starfleet tend to come to her for advice, and she adores them. Folami does not tend towards mood swings; her emotions are very stable. The only emotion she displays prominently and without reserve is happiness. Folami is highly analytical and detail-oriented. While her people skills are high enough to merit another job than chief science officer, her passion for the sciences keeps her in her position. Folami does not get distracted easily.
