Dr T'Ana

Commander Diane T'Ana, MD, was a female Caitian Starfleet sciences division officer who lived during the late 24th century. (LD: "Second Contact")

By 2380, Dr. T'Ana was the chief medical officer of the USS Cerritos. As a doctor, T'Ana had a rather acerbic bedside manner, and was prone to using profanity quite casually.

T'Ana enjoyed rock climbing in her spare time, stating that it made her feel alive. While she used climbing gear, she chose to forgo wearing shoes, opting to use her natural claws instead.

She once had Ensign D'Vana Tendi join her on the holodeck to climb a mountain face that was visually very similar to Yosemite National Park's El Capitan

Early in her Starfleet career, T'Ana lost her tail in an incident aboard the Algonquin. She never shared this story with anyone except Shaxs years later.

T'Ana once served for seven years on an Oberth-class starship; an experience that she did not enjoy

Nurse Westlake was the one T'Ana confided in when she asserted that Tendi did not belong in sickbay. Westlake was comfortable enough to speak up regarding T'Ana's lack of pain management. T'Ana felt comfortable enough around Westlake that she purred in satisfaction when he patted her on the head and called her a "good kitty

In 2382, T'Ana's lack of pain management, through her minimal use of anesthesia, was called into question. When Nurse Westlake pointed out that most patients did not share her her personal high pain tolerance, T'Ana decided to adjust the pain scale by having herself subjected to extreme levels of pain. Though most attempts to provoke pain in her were ineffective, hot liquid on her chest was painful enough for her to update her pain scale

On stardate 57538.9, T'Ana and the other senior officers were gathered in the conference room to witness Ensign Beckett Mariner's promotion to lieutenant, before moving on to debates over new conference chairs. She later joined the senior staff, including Mariner, in a game of poker

When T'Ana first met Brad Boimler, she only saw him as important because the slime covering the young ensign was the key to curing the rage virus, subsequently not giving Boimler any credit for his role in the save. (LD: "Second Contact")

For the most part, their subsequent relationship was professional. However, in 2382, Boimler discovered that his alternate reality counterpart was friends with the foul mouthed doctor who gave Beard Boimler the affectionate nickname of Flip and invited him to join her book club. As a result, Boimler decided to befriend his own T'Ana as a part of his efforts to emulate his alternate self. However, Boimler at first only succeeded in annoying the doctor with his antics, once to the point of physical violence on her part. After Boimler attempted to help her during a shipwide crisis and got a lightning bolt up his butt in the process, T'Ana finally warmed up to him, inviting Boimler to join her book club and giving him the nickname of Fuck-o

While Tendi worked in medical, T'Ana's relationship with her could at times be tumultuous. As Tendi was not very assertive when first coming aboard the Cerritos, T'Ana paid little attention to her and her deeds, and often assigned Tendi tasks that she figured she would just give up on, or even small personal errands. Tendi would also find T'Ana intimidating to work for, and often felt nervous about letting T'Ana down in her work. It wasn't until 2381 that Tendi started to get the attention of T'Ana in better ways, and respect was given
