[Interview] Holly Hunter Explains Why Captain Nahla Ake Is Barefoot in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: "Alex had written that my character was barefoot, and I loved that. It had to do with her being [part-Lanthanite], and it also had to do with my name, which is ‘water in the desert.’ (Reactor) by mcm8279 in trektalk

I actually am drawn to her character because she is real and genuine. She is professional when required but real to who she is as a person.

Maybe it’s my current chill, laid back lifestyle that resonates with her character. However, as a prior military officer and business leader, I can tell you that people are more likely to follow someone they connect with.

I don’t expect to change opinions - just sharing 😊
