Her hair runs down her back, stopping just at the small of her back, though when on duty she often has it tied up in a high ponytail or a bun.

On duty her preferred uniform often includes Starfleet’s standard uniform with regulation skirt and tall boots unless pants are called for.
Off duty she prefers dresses and high heels over anything else. She also often wears corsets, over the dresses as a form of belt and for support.

Off duty she often will spend time reading or playing music. Enjoys Jazz music and can often be found playing the trombone when off duty.
History
Solaris was born in the city of Belfast on Earth. Her father, James McLaren is the owner of a pub, imaginatively named ‘McLaren’s’. Her mother, Vivian McLaren, owns a small florist’s shop.
As an only child she was a loner, often found reading books or listening to music. During her secondary education she became fascinated with spycraft, reading many books on the subject though most of them romanticized the field, and by the time she had entered high school she had decided to pursue the intelligence field. In addition to this, during her middle and high school careers she began learning to play the trombone and continues to play regularly. In her free time after school, she often helped out at her fathers pub, much to her mothers dismay.
Almost directly after high school, Solaris enrolled in Starfleet Academy.
During her time at the Academy she was a middling student, having found out that the intelligence field wasnt as action packed and romantic as it had been in her books. Her grades weren’t the best, but it was found that she had particular aptitude for espionage. As such she graduated the academy with a major in Intelligence.
Right out of the academy she was assigned as the intelligence officer for the U.S.S. Nightingale, a Nebula-class starship stationed out near the old Romulan neutral zone. She was only aboard that ship a year before being transferred.
She was transferred to the Galaxy-class U.S.S. San Francisco assigned to a sector of space near Starbase 11. After her time aboard the San Francisco, Sol was reassigned to Starbase 234, eventually rising to a position as the stations executive officer. In response to the Frontier Day disaster so was reassigned to Earth and brought back to her Intelligence roots, overseeing the counter intelligence section at HQ.
Due to a depletion of Starfleet’s officer corps, she was eventually promoted to Captain and assigned as commanding officer of the U.S.S. Yamato as part of Task Force 17.
