Personality
Annikafiore tends to come across as overbearing and annoying when she first gets to know someone new. Once the relationship is established and the uncertainty ends, she'll treat you as if you were her oldest friend.
While her parents would be considered cool and reserved, Annikafiore was always encouraged to behave according to her own choosing. A highly sensual person, she embraces her emotions, wherever they take her. She yells without meaning it and flirts with people she despises. After witnessing her swiftly-shifting temperments, some are surprised to discover that Annika is entirely competent and serious about her work.

Weaknesses: Annikafiore is a forthright woman, who never censors the words she choses.
History
Annikafiore was born in the Scandinavian Peninsula on Earth. Her parents were competitive dancers, and yet she was born with the all of the grace of a hippopotamus. Some have attributed Annikafiore's Starfleet Medical career to an injury suffered by her father in the middle of a performance. The injury effectively ended his career, relegating his future employment to the world of academia. They say that Annikafiore was intrigued and inspired by her father's rehabilitation exercises and specialists and process. The art of recovery alit Annikafiore's imagination in a way that the art of dance never had done.
There are others who say that Annikafiore's Starfleet Medical career came about because of her desire to bed doctors and soldiers, and her inability to choose between the two.
As a Crewman Recruit, Annikafiore was shipped off to the USS Pendragon, where she served as a medical technician. To meet Annikafiore was to know her. She immediately proved herself a highly sensuous person. Her sensuality was self-evident in her recreation, in her relationships, and even in her bedside manner. She often participated in patient-flirting contests against one of the nurses, a young Ensign called Cristobel Sefton. Their Chief Medical Officer never managed to definitively prove that Annika or Cris were behaving unprofessionally -- but it wasn't for lack of trying on any of their parts.
Annikafiore's overt sexuality usually lead to surprise, throughout her career, when her fellow crewmembers would discover that she was also entirely competent and serious about her work in Sickbay. Annikafiore remained with the USS Pendragon throughought it's crippling at the hands of escaped prisoners, as well as its subsequent refit and relaunch. She received promtion after promotion among the ranks of the Medical staff.
She served aboard the USS Santa Maria for a time, before Annikafiore was transferred to the USS Archimedes. When the psychic slug infestation led to countless injuries throughout the ship, she extended tireless efforts to assist the wounded. When the mood-altering gas was flooded through the corridors to combat the effect of the slugs, Annikafiore was overtaken by the gas' amorous effects, like many others. She came away from the experience with a commendation and an unexpected pregnancy. She never learned who the father was.
When the USS Archimedes was stolen from orbit 'round Risa, Annikafiore Szerda was serving as the sole medic aboard ship. Save for Koril Trix, every crewmember aboard the ship was murdered by the hijackers. Most of their bodies were abandoned in space. Annikafiore's corpse was never found. Officially, the life of Annikafiore Szerda, and her unborn child, have been classified as: missing, presumed dead.
Death
