others (i.e. parents, society, or Starfleet).

time. This sometimes has gotten her in trouble, and a few times has

Personal History:
- Janice was born on February 28, 2357. Her older sister
Willow was born on May 09, 2356 - less than ten months before Janice was
born. The extended family thought that it was a cute coincidence so
Janice and Willow's parents raised them as twins even though they were
and still are completely different in every way. Janice grew up to
physically resemble their grandmother Emily, while Willow resembles
their mother. Their differences in temperament and personality are
quite complementary.
- Janice and Willow grew up entirely in Boston. Willow
graduated from high school in 2373 and Janice graduated from the same
school a year later in 2374.
- In 2375, Janice returned to Boston after about a year of
vacationing abroad, much to the chagrin of her grandparents. When
pressured by her family to do something, as in 'get a job,' Janice
decided that she could apply to get into Starfleet. Willow, on the
other hand, was working in a civilian day care center in a local
hospital since her high school graduation. It was Janice who suggested
that they apply for SF academy together; it took little persuasion from
Janice for Willow to agree with her and quit her current day job.
Academy:
- In 2375, Janice and Willow entered Starfleet Academy after
passing their entrance exam in the first try. While Willow floundered
about trying different subjects in their first year there, Janice found
her 'calling' or area of expertise and decided to major in tactical.
Eventually by second year, Willow gained a sense of direction and
decided to become a psychologist - but yet again wanted to study several
areas in that field. Janice's marks through out those years were
average, except in tactical. Willow grew talented in two areas of
psychology, which she majored in. Willow's talent for forensic
psychology caused some of her instructors to consider studying security
as well, so Willow minored in it.
- During her academy years, Janice travelled home to Boston
during breaks between years and on special occasions - rarely
socializing with her classmates during much of the year. As a result,
Janice strengthened a rapport with her family during her stay in the
academy.
- Both sisters graduated in 2379 with the rank of Ensign.
Janice graduated in the upper 50% of her class while Willow graduated in
the top 5% of her class . . . including her two majors and two of her
minors that were related to psychology.
- After graduation, the sisters returned to Boston. There they
celebrated Janice's birthday and their parent's silver wedding
anniversary. Despite Willow's higher academic achievements, Janice
received her orders for her first assignment first. Janice was assigned
to Deep Space 15 which was a newly built space station. Willow received
less exciting assignment hours later. Willow was to travel to the
Jalnak colony to receive further training to become a Counsellor. The
last time the sisters ever saw each other face to face was in San
Francisco when Janice boarded the USS Toronto to leave for Deep Space
15.
