Name: Captain Kathryn Janeway Door: Door Pass Canon: Star Trek Voyager Canon Point: Toward the end of the Year of Hell, Part 2, when she rams a weapons ship with a falling apart Voyager (and before the temporal wave restores them) Age: 41 Appearance: Here History: Here Personality: Stubborn: There are a lot of examples of Janeway being bullheaded, from walking miles home in a rain in pouring rain after a tennis match as a child, all the way to events in Year of Hell where everyone would have been safer had she let go of Voyager or split them up much sooner but simply refused until there was no other option - then she caused herself physical and mental damage in a continued refusal of medical assistance or leaving Voyager, herself. It's also clearly on display as a negative trait when Chakotay disagrees with her decisions, and equally clearly when even her double, realizing it is a double, attempts to continue back to earth. Once the woman sets a goal nothing stands in her way - to the point of endangering herself and others. Self-Righteous: First and foremost there's a future version of herself outright classifying herself as self-righteous. She values her morality a lot, and this is all well and good but she is absolutely convinced that her morality is correct and superior. There are, again, a lot of small examples of this - Chastising Chakotay for 'wasting resources' to make her a watch with a replicator and telling him to recycle it, to her initial and moral lecture-y interactions with the Maquis who wound up on Voyager. It's just What She Does. The biggest example, though, is her response when she finds out the degrees to which the Equinox, another stranded Starfleet ship, is going to in order to get home. She basically loses her crap and is fully (and hypocritically) prepared to execute a member of that crew to gain information about the captain -- because she was Just That Morally Certain. Depressive: There are two huge, glaring, examples of this at near opposite ends of canon. The first is that when her father dies, Janeway takes to her bed and stays there for weeks. Her sister is eventually able to get her up and moving again but it is a serious episode during which she does a whole lot of nothing. The second is during the episode Night, which happens during the first season. She again self-isolates, rejects advances of friendship, is unavailable to the crew, and basically wallows in self-doubt about her decisions that left them there, and self-recrimination for actions all the way back to her starfleet days. She becomes effectively nonfunction at a time her crew needs her. Brave: She's a starfleet Captain. She does a lot of scary things. One of those scary things is using Voyager as a battering ram at the end of year of hell. The most important and clear example though comes with confronting The Clown - fear incarnate who had been torturing people who were trapped in a network by a malfunctioning neural link. Her actual quote to him is that fear exists to be conquered. The actual action was allowing her mind to be linked into that network and, albeit remaining conscious herself, not succumbing while the others were freed and the system shut down. She literally confronted an embodiment of fear and came out the other side. Powers and Abilities: Ballet, tennis, gardening, a sharp scientific mind and being a starfleet captain? (She is a damn good scientist and leader, but is bog-standard human and possesses no powers.) Inventory: Tricorder, silver pocket watch, phaser Samples: Sample One - Thinking Sample Two - Voice |
