| Personal History | Linda was a mere infant when she was found by then Lt. Jim Wilson. Starfleet had conducted a raid on the planet, an orion colony that was being used as a hideout for pirates and smugglers. The Orion's resisted and many ended up dead, including apparently the parents of the infant girl. Jim was touched by the little girls plight and the fact that she was very cute. He took her home and his wife fell in love with the baby instantly. Barbara had always been very maternal. So they sought permission to formally adopt the little girl. People were skeptical of course. Humans , raise an Orion female as their own? Still the Wilson's persisted and finally it was approved. Naming her Linda, they took her home and raised her as a human. It wasn't always easy for Linda. There were always prejudice and misconceptions about orion girls but Linda prevailed. Katherine Janeway, who was a close friend of the Wilsons took an interest in Linda. Linda for her part adored, maybe even worshiped Katherine, calling her "Aunt Kathy". She encouraged Linda to be bold and no matter what, keep going, no matter how hard it was. Eventually, Linda did make friends and people began to warm up to her. One they got to know her, they found she was a very nice girl. She even had a group of girls she'd hang around with. Of course life in Starfleet can mean moving around a lot. So it was with Linda and her family. It was hard enough making friends but with moving around made it a lot harder. There were a few years when she blamed her father for everything. Being a teenager can be rough, especially for an Orion being raised by humans. Aunt Kathy always managed to be there for her, giving her a shoulder to cry on and a place to vent her anger or just advice. Eventually she grew up. By the time she was 17 she had blossomed into a beautiful,and rather tall self assured young woman and had been dating for a few years. She knew how to take care of her self. Some guys seem to want one thing only. She quickly learned to spot them easily. by 18 she had decided on her life's path. She wanted to join Starfleet like her dad and Aunt Kathy. So it was that Linda Wilson entered the starfleet academy. Linda Worked hard and even made some friends there. She proved herself to be smart, capable and driven. She graduated with Honors and was given her first assignment, the USS potemkin. She was put in engineering. She knew she had a lot to learn so she strived to learn all there was about engineering. it was the same with everything she did. She wanted to learn all she could. That said, she always made time for her friends per her Aunt Kathy's advice. If she was going to be captain someday, she needed to know how to deal with people. She befriended then Ens Penelope Jones. A young, human woman, studying to be a doctor. They found an easy friendship and found themselves spending a lot of time together. They seem to fit just right. Best Friends. Time seemed to pass all to quickly. They both got promoted, several times. Penny became a doctor and Linda became XO for the Excalibur. Thought they parted, Linda and Penny were best friends for life and kept in touch. Linda was the maid of honor at Penny's wedding. However, When Linda heard of the disappearance of Voyager with her Aunt Kate aboard, she was devastated. It hurt her real bad! She worshiped her Aunt Kathy and with her gone, she felt lost. She knew Aunt Kathy had to be alive somewhere. She never gave up. Linda was strong and she did her job and never let Aunt Kathy's disappearance distract her from her job. She knew others had suffered losses as well. She was strong and would go on. Then when word got out that Voyager had found a way to communicate with Starfleet, Linda was overjoyed. Aunt Kathy was safe. A few years later, Linda had made it! She was promoted to Captain, and less than 3 days later, Voyager came home and Linda was there to welcome her Aunt Kathy home. Now 3 years later, she is Captain of the USS Bellerophon, an intrepid class ship. She had been reunited with her old friend Dr Penny Jones who was the chief medical officer onboard. |
