Nuria was initially developed by Infinity Ltd. as a virtual host. Because of the nature of a QUINN her initial development was overseen by the director of the computer research division personally. She was the first of the QUINN type systems developed. Her personal evolution was built around her primary directives, however, these directives were designed to be less of an impact on her personality during initial development.
She is currently serving aboard the SS Olam (NCC-20159-K) with Sal D'Amico.
Personality
Like any QUINN her personality developed uniquely along the patterns established by her core directives. She has a powerful personality, spunky and happy. Enjoys using light jibes and slights to endear herself to people. Once Nuria truly decides you are a friend to her, she is fiercely loyal much like her father figure (the director of R&D, Doctor Luke G. Simpson III) who had a very similar personality and was allowed to raise her as close to a human being as possible.
Nuria's has an innate desire to challenge authority in any form. Though she has an idea of when to quit occasionally it can be upsetting to those around her. She is sweet, helpful, and surprisingly non-judgmental for all of the snipes and jibes she can playfully hand out.
Education
Nuria is trained as a universal hostess for Infinity Ltd. and as such has equivalent of a degree in psychology and counseling. She also is highly educated in politics and sociology along with a working knowledge of anthropology. Her specialty and what she truly loves to do art, particularly where mathematics and art intersect. She creates beautiful works in fractal patterns and complex systems which move and change in ever shifting patterns of colors.
Solas Tempus also gave her access to their historical databanks as well as information on time travel and its impact on the present. Several theoretical works as well as access to their classified mission reports on actual impacts observed by teams in the field.
History
As with any AI of her level developed on a vessel associated with the Federation she was given citizenship as a sentient being in accordance with early law on the matter. In particular her father (as she refers to Doctor Simpson) pioneered many of the early conceptual work that lawmakers referenced to determine the rights of artificial intelligence beings. Infinity Ltd., in accordance with the work of Dr. Simpson and budding Federation law, Nuria was put under contract with the company at her discretion.
After the passage of several laws in the Federation Nuria was able to make herself more freely available for work. Eventually she contracted with Solas Tempus - as they have the largest use of holographic AI's in known space that are allowed to maintain independence and treated as sentient beings with equal rights. Being a lover of history and anthropology she also enjoys time she gets to spend in other time periods, observing the goings on, and making notes
