Personality & Traits
| General Overview | T’Maris is thoughtful, analytical, and superb at logic-based argumentation, but her Betazoid heritage gives her a subtle empathic sensitivity she treats almost like a liability. She attempts to operate “purely by logic” but often uses her telepathic instincts unconsciously when reading courtroom energy or understanding client anxiety. | |

She was instrumental during internal reviews after Elysium’s heavy engagements in 2397–2398.
