Beverly Crusher

Beverly Crusher is Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise, and despite being a mother to a particularly moody tennager and also a widow she manages both her position on the ship and her parental responsibilities with miraculous efficiency and effectiveness. A role model for most of the crew, especially the medical staff, Crusher not only works as chief doctor on board but also first pick for the away team's medical officer, meaning she also gets her fair share of fights with all sorts of creatures from across the Galaxy.

Experienced and knowledgable, Crusher was snapped up by the Federation Medical Academy and quickly rose through the ranks to Doctor. After being promoted to Commander during her time on the Enterprise, Crusher had the ability to run the ship alone if necessary, which she did on numerous occasions. Her finest hour was during her defeat of a Borg vessel that was attacking the ship and preventing most of the senior staff from  beaming up from an away mission. She destroyed the Borg by luring them too close to a star, where they were destroyed by solar flares.

She is good friends with both Jean-Luc Picard and Deanna Troi, and she has good friendships with the majority of the crew, even Worf.
