An Asanii Healer aboard the UAV Stardancer, and long-time friend of Alysha Forrest. Affectionately referred to as "Snowhide" by friends.[1]
Physical Characteristics
An Asanii with dark brown eyes and "oodles" of long, straight hair, usually collected in a braid. Her coloring is "white on white, stars and snow and sugar," with fur rather than bare skin on her face and body. She has a "petite and matronly" figure and more wrinkles than usual for her age.[2][3]
History
Family
Widow of the tam-illee Healer Nathan Lifeweave, whose FoundName she took. She met Nathan in medical school, and took a break to settle down and have children, but never did. She sees something of a daughter, or the daughter she would have wanted to have, in Alysha.[2]
Recent History
Laelkii met Alysha Forrest while Alysha was at the Fleet Academe and working as a dancer and prostitute at Phantasies. She provided emotional support to Alysha while her husband provided both emotional and medical support to Alysha and some of her fellow abused dancers. It was at Laelkii's husband's clinic that Alysha acquired her breathnache claws.[2]
After her husband's death and her own reassessment of her life's purpose, Laelkii joined the Fleet Academe as a cadet, training in her own right.[4]
Alysha Forrest and Laelkii remained in contact during Alysha's ensign years.[5]
Laelkii served some of her first years after the Academe on a starbase, not a ship. [6]
At some point after Alysha Forrest took command of the UAV Stardancer, Laelkii joined as Chief of Medical. In that role, as one of the older members of the crew (having joined the Fleet late in life), she serves as a listening ear, expert medical officer, and person who attempts to remind Alysha to eat.[3]
