Distinguishing Physical Characteristics

Kim suffers from slight facial ticks, caused by battle stress. The symptoms never occur during the battle itself, but sometimes the tense anticipation before a battle can cause her right cheek muscles to twitch making it look almost like she's winking.

History

At 26, Kimberly Tycho, or "Kim", was the youngest member to join the elite Banshee Fighter Squadron, renowned for their exploits during the Dominion War. She joined after the War was already over, and so only flew with the Banshees for a year. That time was more than enough however for her to prove her worth to the team.

Her father was Chief Engineer at the Starbase 74, and it seems she started following in his footsteps. She has a degree in Mechanical Engineering and holds a Class 5 Rating in Computer Science. Her value to the Squad was solidified when she started tinkering with their ships' systems and significantly improved the fighters' performace.

While serving with her team on Supply Station 901 in 2384, Kim encountered Lieutenant Thomas Riker, who had escaped from the Cardassian labor camp on Lazon II. He convinced her to help him flee Federation space, and together they stole one of the Banshee fighters and evaded pursuit long enough for Riker to "disappear". She was severely reprimanded and reduced in rank. That decision was reversed several weeks later when she proved instrumental in preventing the destruction of the station while at the helm of the starship Sutherland.

Also while on the Starbase, Kim met and fell in love with the station's XO, Commander Garek Loran. Their relationship blossomed, and they were engaged to be married in November 2384. However, mere days after their engagement, Kim and the Banshees were reassigned to the USS Hornet. Split from her fiancee, Kim found it increasingly difficult to concentrate on her work, until about a month later she was responsible for the near-death of her teammate Max Vasser during routine training maneuvers near Morristown Colony. As a result, her flight privileges were revoked and she was reassigned back to Starbase 901 in the Engineering department.

The following year, Commander Loran was approached by the Q and invited to join them in the Continuum. He and Kim were married and together they left this dimension. And they lived happily ever after....

Personality
