=Personal Description=

Physical Description
Vanadium is quite a tall woman of about 5 feet 11. She is quite happy with this as she is slightly taller than the legendary Commodore Mcbeath, (who she never met). She keeps what she considers good conditioned Blonde (nearly white) hair in a short and tidy style. She however tries to grow her finger nails to extraordinary lengths.(But once they reach the length of about 2-3cm, They somehow break.) She is quite a strong woman, although she wants to be strong with a few muscles she wants to keep her figure as quite a slender person. Across her stomach is a deep scare that she caught while trying to fight off the Folians at Terlus V, her ship got attacked bits of debris went everywhere including cutting her stomach what she now represents as a symbol of war.

Psychological Description
Vanadium Cadmium is somebody who most people know have made an imprint into their lives as she as an eccentric person. The 2 officers who know this the most are both Captain Alistair Galbraith and Commander Eilidh Smith. She is known to be a very authoritian person who tries to take command of almost every situation that she believes has gone out of control. And about 65% of the time she is able to find out what the problem is and solve it. Although she is only an Admiral she sometimes considers herself to be a Fleet Admiral and usually oversteps her authority on Fleet Admirals who are not impressed most of the time with her.

Ambitions
Cadmium believes that she hasn’t yet reached her goal of Fleet Admiral as she has always dreamed of since she was a teenager. Unlike Commodore Mcbeath who managed to get herself demoted down to Commodore from Admiral because she doesn’t like being behind a desk. Cadmium manages to get away from Starfleet Command by going to visit some Deep Space Outpost or somehow having a visit onboard a Starship like the Discovery or the Valiant. Apart from gaining the Rank of Fleet Admiral her main ambition is to capture Mr Moon an arc enemy of hers who she believes to be building a deadly Biogenic Weapon. Mysteriously it is unknown how she made Mr Moon her arc enemy.

Strengths
Cadmium is a very good person on taking command of an unstable situation. She is also very good at the Tactical stations and Combat and most of the time First Contact situations. She is quite good at tracking down people using scanners efficiently. Her favourite position is at the Centre Chair (who Captain Galbraith usually manages to keep her off).

Weaknesses
Vanadium has many weaknesses such as trying to get something that is impossible to get. Mainly getting Mr Moon and arrest him! She tried to capture Mr Moon on a full scale attack with the USS Dauntless (NCC-84221). This destroyed the Dauntless and she found herself in a Federation Pedal Colony (but she soon escaped).

Hobbies
Phaser Targets, Cooking, Painting, Looking in the mirror, rowing, taking command of a ship.

Dislikes
People who are higher in rank than her. People her don’t follow her orders. People who question her authority, People who are not trying their best at the tasks she assigns them. Mr Moon.

Father
Both Vanadium Cadmium’s parents were in Starfleet. Her father Johnathium Cadmium but only made the Rank of Vice Admiral. This pleased Vanadium when she was promoted from Vice Admiral to Admiral. Johnathium was a highly respected Admiral. But after he was making peace talks with the Kanar. The of Convoy of Ships that he was travelling in got attacked by a Folian Fleet that hid in a nearby Nebula. The Convoy won the battle but unfortunately the ship Vice Admiral Cadmium was on got destroyed. This is why Vanadium hates the Folians as much as Mr Moon.

Mother
Her mother Rosium Cadmium was the Captain of the USS Majestic (NCC-76112). Rosium was the real influence for Vanadium joining Starfleet in the first place. Her mother was really proud of Vanadium getting into Starfleet and has supported Vanadium and gave her advice (but over the years. Vanadium has created her own advice for herself).

Pre-Starfleet
Vanadium was born on the 2nd March 2302. Vanadium was a very strong willed person and when she was a girl she always thought she was incharge of everything. When she was at school she believed that her duties was to be in control of the toys. She was so confident she even sat on the Head-Teacher’s chair. As well as being strong willed she studied a lot and got top marks in her class, which surprised her teacher as she thought Vanadium was a loud mouth who never listened to any of her lessons. When she was 12 she moved into High School and got into a lot of clubs. Some including rugby. She didn’t get in because the coach thought that she was too puny. This was until she toppled his top rugby player by doing a tackle. After Vanadium past all her exams with clear A’s her mother and her were onboard the USS Majestic (NCC-76112) to go to Risa. But on the way Rosium was forced down to Rigel 7. A Jeloran vessel attacked the Majestic. Debris flew everywhere knocking out the officer in command. So Vanadium decided to take command sat on the tactical station, fired torpedoes and destroyed the Jeloran vessel. After this Vanadium decided that she really wanted to join Starfleet.

Starfleet Academy
At Starfleet Academy, ­she was considered to be a very loud over baring student from lots of her teachers and Admirals at the Academy. She always talked during a Stela-Cartographer Class and decided take charge of Tactical and Combat classes. So one day Commodore Wright said to Cadmium that she had to stop this or she’ll find herself at the entrance of Starfleet Academy with her bags beside her. So after this she decided to calm down. While on a mission to the Ingaddy System the USS Star-Traveller (NCC-76498). The ship was hit by a mysterious shock wave that rendered the ship of power. Everyone in the Bridge was killed except from Vanadium who managed manoeuvre the ship out of the path of a sun. For this she was granted a Starfleet Medal and Commendation.
