While she was young, Lillian Crae fought in the Dominion War during the Battle of Betazed, and helped to liberate her people. She has always wanted to be a dctor and she is mildly aware that that means she has to be more pro-active with cures, but she prefers surgery. Now, due to a death on the billet, she is a young and new CMO and she has to proveher worth.
Physical Description
Lillian Crae has bangs and natural soft curls in her deep brown hair. She's toned, with long legs that make up most of her height, and nicely shaped arms. Lillian is a bit curvy, and flaunts her assests when it is the time and place. As a Betazoid, she has black irises.
When on duty, Lillian wears her uniform accordingly in a a neat and professional fashion, and she pulls her shoulderlength hair back into a ponytail and sweeps her bangs out of her face. When she is off duty, she tends to wear snug fitting jeans, large or cowl-necked sweaters, and heeled boots.
Psychological Profile
Lillian is a giant ray of sunshine to those who know her best, and thought those that knew her in the academy and her family would say she gets attached too easily, Lillian is incredibly guarded. After a lot of failed relationships, romantic and otherwise, Lillian has found it a bit harder to let her walls down, but still enjoys having fun. Once you're in, you're in forever, though.
She's always had a rather lovely bedside manner, being kinder and gentler than most, which she has still somewhat maintained. Always wanting to be a doctor, she finds herself at home in Sickbay, and is always looking for a way to enhance her knowledge of medicine and the sciences. At heart she's curious and creative, and because of that it isn't hard to appeal to the curious little duckling within.
When it comes to command, Lillian means business, but she isn't as harsh as most. People find her easy to serve under even though sometimes people would say she is too nice, but when it comes down to it she always gets the job done. She easily inspires trust, and has an air of confidence around her that inspires loyal followers.
Lillian is an aunt of two and has always wanted to be a mother someday, so she mother hens a bit, trying to do what is best for those that she cares about. Because of this, she is motherly and gentle and even a bit soft, but when she or her "baby bears/baby chicks" are threatened, she becomes a lioness ready to maim her prey.

History
Minas Crae and Leona Emmons had an arranged marriage through their parents on Betazed that they decided to go through with. They are both ambassadors for Star Fleet and hit it off brilliantly. They had a traditional Betazoid wedding and started a family: Leonard, Lillian and then Megan. From a young age, Lillian and her siblings learned to control their empathic abilities, but Lillian never mastered it as early as Leonard and Megan did because her powers were stronger. Her psionic abilities were honed enough to help her to fight off the Dominion in 2374 at the mere age of 15, helping her to finally have a complete handle on her abilities--and all she wanted was more control.
Since her parents were (and still are) both ambassadors in Starfleet, they felt that it was important for their children to understand that different species were meant to mingle and learn and teach one another. Because she was raised like this, Lillian knew when she was 10 that she wanted to join Starfleet and joined up the day she turned 16, ready to take on what she believed would be the biggest adventure of her life--she was right. When faced with the decision to be a counselor or a doctor, she chose to be a doctor because she was drawn into that field more than the others. Not even her experiences in battle could prepare her for what her life in Starfleet was going to be.
Upon entering the academy, Lillian found that the areas she was most interested in were medicine and counseling, but she enjoyed learning about other races because of her deep interest in what her parents did. While her mother wanted her to be a counselor because of her empathic abilities and her want to help people, her father wanted her to be a doctor because of her deep interest in biology and anatomy as a child. Eventually, Lillian chose medicine, with the help of her boyfriend, Salyn (a Vulcan), and her best friend, Marlo, whom she met during her medical studies. She spent four years in the academy studying medicine, psychology and rituals of other races, writing several dissertations--one that Spock himself found to be provocative and thought-provoking that compared and contrasted Vulcans and Betazoids.
Her science professor saw her potential and wrote her an incredible letter of recommendation even though he knew that stress effected her emotions more than most, and she was very grateful--she had always wanted to serve on a star ship like her father had before her as a 1st Officer. While she took classes, Lillian spent lots of her free time taking up the study of the other four years of Academy study for command, volunteering and working on her own personal goals, trying to juggle her personal life and her educational career. She wrote dissertations, did her job, and went on missions with her parents until her graduation certification rolled around.
Devoting her life to medicine while she wasn't making the most out of a social life, Lillian graduated the academy with incredibly high marks and then shortly after got a great gig on the USS Defiance. She worked hard to move up her ranks even though she knew it would take time, and finally got a gig on the Starbase 12 that she had had her eye on. Lillian was a doctor now and a Lieutenant and she became very close with all of the medical staff, not ready for the tragedy that would befall the CMO before her, leaving her to make her mark on the world so abruptly as the new CMO.
