B'Elanna Torres
Chief Engineer

Torres is the ship's Chief Engineer. Her Klingon mother and human father 
separated when she was quite young; she was raised by her mother on a remote colony 
far from the Klingon Homeworld.
A former student at Starfleet Academy, B'Elanna quit. 
She is tough, knowledgeable and independent, but her mixed heritage has manifested 
itself in a state of confusion and denial. Now that B'Elanna is unable to release 
her frustrations through fighting the Cardassians, she must learn to accept herself 
and her conflicting heritage.
