History:
Childhood:
Sara and Zara were daddy's girls from the day they were born and would have been spoiled to death had their mother not set her foot down. Just over a year and a half after she was born her younger brother was born and almost three and a half years to the day her younger sister was born.
In gradeschool Zara tended, unlike her twin sister, to be the more peaceful of the two. She avoided fights and got along with almost everyone, though she too felt that she was growing diffrent than the others, with more the ability to be herself.
She found a love in music and would always think for herself over those years.
Teenage Years:
Zara continued on her peaceful, quiet way and gradually grew away from her father. She went from a daddy's girl to a stubborn, independent, young woman. She started taking martial arts with her sister and continued with her music, though Zara found more interest in mechanics than martial arts she did enjoy the workout she got from the classes.
She loved to think, read, and write. She enjoyed studying the practical uses and mechanics of the martial arts she took and read every book on engineering that she could get her hands on. Programming also became a hobby for her.
She graduated from High School with High Honors and went directly to the Academy.
Academy:
Zara majored in engineering in the Academy and took minor courses in security and medical. She wasn't perfect in her courses but she always managed to make diecent grades. Unlike her sister, Zara truly had a low self-esteeme, but she managed to push that aside in her persuit of her classes.
She socialized quite a bit and concentrated on studying. Her schedule was full of activities and studying she spent quite a bit of time with her sister so Sara wouldn't completely isolate herself from the rest of the world.
After she graduated from the Academy she was assigned to the USS John C. Stennis as Assistant Engineer and was recently promoted to Chief Engineer.
Shortly after she became Chief Engineer, Zara was kidnapped by the Romulans and held captive there for an unknown ammount of time. During this time the crew was still getting to know their new Captain, Black, Captain Lowell and his wife having decided that a Defiant class ship was not the place to raise a family. While held by the Romulans Zara felt something, some piece of her die. It wasn't from what the Romulans did, she sensed her twin sister, Sara Richardsons, Chief Tactical Officer of the USS Intrada, die. What she didn't know at the time was her sister was killed by Romulans while she was being held by the Romulans. The Stennis did eventually return and Zara got free with the help of another Romulan and found out her assistant, Josh Hrach, was betazoid, helping the away team that was on the Romulan ship now, find her.
