So here's who I've got: → Leonard McCoy (this account)-- he's grumpy but I'm absolutely certain he respects the hell out of Uhura because she's all poised and shit; I'd spoken with previous Uhura's players about him helping her with xenobiology at one point at the Academy (basically inspired by this fic) and one liked the idea of them going on a terrible date and being like, nm, and the other was like, oh noes, nevah! Sooo, uh... yeah. Either way. But I like them as friendly-ish... even if he is a dick to her boyfriend from time to time. >.>
→ Heather McConel (thefemalescotty)-- she's basically a female version of Scotty, right down to the accent! She works in engineering and is the instigator behind the 'ship still. She also rooms with Gaila now, so I imagine sees a bit of Uhura now and again! She tends to be friendly and happy and a bit loose from time to time. >.> Relationships are overrated, ye ken?
→ Dawson Walking Bear (whiskeybravo)-- he's spent basically his entire life prior to joining Starfleet on a spaceship. (He belongs to the group that eventually popped up in TNG and Chakotay was born from.) Walking Bear is actually his given name, so he goes by W.B. or Ensign Dawson, but he's probably never spoken to Uhura because he's pretty much petrified of women. Like, for realsies. Plus, he works gamma shift.
→ Areel Shaw (jurisdictio)-- she's the 'ship JAG and is generally mild-mannered. She grew up on Denevan (an alien planet colonized by humans) but came to Earth for schooling. Because of life further from Earth, she knows a lot of alien customs and a few words in a lot of languages and, as such, definitely has an appreciation for what Uhura does. No idea if they really know each other or get on but she is roommates with Uhura's second-in-command, so. There's that!
