Hestya

Biography
Her official title of Mess Officer severely underestimates her true role onboard the Ulympia. They say an army marches on it's stomach and she will attest to that.

Every rumour, every bit of information, every personality flaw, and every point of the crew's life revolves not around the bridge, but around the kitchen. And fiery little Hestya is queen of that domain. That's why this disarming little vixen is often referred to as the unofficial ship's councelor.

Personality
Hestya's bubbly personality is infectious. It's her ability to be instantly likeable and easily relate to that makes her so effective at getting people to open up about their thoughts, feelings and secrets that they would never tell anyone else. Her only flaw is that she loves gossip more than anything. A running joke on the ship is that the only person who knows the crew better than Suras, is Hestya...

Powers
The people of Vastedia are know for theit culinary prowess and fiery personalities. Their exotic culture is almost scandalous to most worlds with it's open sexuality and spicy foods. It therefore might not be a coincidence that she gained the ability to channel and control flames through some sort of pyrkinetic power. The flames are hot enough to burn through her reinforced uniform instantly, leaving only her Vastedium earrings intact. Further tests confirm that only this rare metal can withstand the extreme heat she generates when her powers are active.

Equipment
While not using any particular equipment persay, to protect her modesty following the activation of her powers, she now wears a Vastedium bikini under her uniform (Presumably padded to reduce the chafing of the chainmail)

Derivation
Hestya is derrived from the Greek goddess Hestia although it could be argued that she is also based in part on Guinan
