professional protective reluctant compassionate

A shipboard teacher responsible for the twelve-year-old Jeremy Aster's class aboard the Enterprise.

Their brief actions—physically guiding the boy, indicating Picard's office, and wearing visible pain at the boy's impending distress—mark them as a protective educator who prioritizes student welfare while deferring to senior officers in moments of crisis.
