Bravo Fleet
Summary
Commander Elinor Thorne, Starfleet, is a seasoned station officer known for her cool-headed decisiveness, operational acumen, and dry, understated wit. She was formerly the Acting Commanding Officer of Deep Space 11 and serves as Executive Officer under Captain Leland Maddox. While Maddox commands with fire and dominance, Thorne reinforces the structure around him, often smoothing his rougher moments with cutting but respectful clarity.
Appearance
Thorne stands 5’8″ (173 cm), with a composed, athletic build and the posture of someone who leads by quiet presence, not volume. Her straight, dark brown hair is worn in a tight bun or knot, and her cool gray-blue eyes miss nothing. She favors utility over flair.
Personality
Thorne is logical, dry, and unshakeably competent. She does not seek attention or glory, preferring effectiveness to recognition. Beneath her professional exterior lies a fiercely loyal core — to the crew, the mission, and the institution of Starfleet. She rarely loses her temper, but when she does speak sharply, entire rooms fall silent.
Her working relationship with Maddox is still evolving. Still, she’s one of the few officers who can push back against him without triggering a confrontation, often by beating him to the point with a single, razor-edged sentence.
