"I swore long ago that I would do everything in my power to keep what happened to me from happening to someone else. And I've also sworn that anyone on this ship, who through neglect or carelessness gambles with the life of a crewmember, will be treated as harshly as if they lost the wager."

Hatcher is Chief of Security of the USS Saratoga which James T. Kirk commands in my AU New Start saga'

HISTORY
Hatcher's homeworld was an arid colony planet whose inhabitants were used to a tough life
They were noted for their stoicism, hard work and self reliance.
Her home planet lacked flowers so deep down she has an interest in plants.

When she was only eleven her homestead was attacked by raiders.
The man who had been assigned to monitor that area for danger had been drinking and so when the attack came the settlers had no warning. Her family was killed and she was captured and enslaved.
Before she escaped, she endured over two years of repeated beatings and rapes, losing one of her eyes and having her face scarred in the process. 

After two years she managed to kill one of the pirates and escape. 
She decided to keep the scars on her face as a memorial/memory of what had happened. 

When one of the pirates scarred her face he also cut her hair as a sign of sadistic ownership. 
Ever since then she has worn it long both as a sign of defiance and as a memorial to her family and her lost innocence.

Doctors at first tried to fit her lost eye with optic technology but she had a severe allergic reaction to it. So instead she wears an eye patch.


PERSONALITY
Hatcher is stern, grim, as humorless as a Vulcan and doesn’t suffer fools.
She can be flat out terrifying if she’s angry and she could intimidate a Klingon.

She completely dedicated to keeping what happened to her from happening to others under her watch.

She’s very hard on those who make mistakes, especially if they endanger someone. 
Heaven help you if she catches you slacking or doing something that might endanger a crewmember! 
She’s particularly fond of publicly and harshly dressing down offenders so those actions won’t be repeated. 

She’s sworn that anyone on the Saratoga, regardless of their department, who through neglect or foolishness gambles with the life of another crewmember, will be treated as harshly as if they lost the wager.

But although she’s harsh she’s never unfair.
While she’s not easy to like, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that there’s no one more committed to the safety of the crew and no better person to have at your back if there’s trouble.

And if you're an enemy out to hurt the crew!...

FRIENDS
James T. Kirk
Kirk respects her highly and values her opinions.
Since both of them were raped they have a shared understanding of being violated.



Chief Petty Officer Badrak Omar from Security,  is a long time friend and confidant.

She also had an odd grudging friendship with Chief Medical Officer Dr. McCoy.

She also has a soft spot for ship's botanist Crewman Shylea L'Naym and enjoys the flowers she leaves her
