Christy Linnell ("Christy" or "Nell") is a student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. She runs on the track and cross country team and is involved in the worship team at her church. She is almost exclusively a DS9 fan and has been since the end of the first season. Dr. Bashir is her favorite character, but she has a great deal of admiration for all the characters of the series, particularly Dax and Kira. Christy enjoys reading, writing, and drawing - which means that she is interested in both fanfiction and fan art on the Internet. She is a member of Far Beyond the Stars, and a founding producer on the WYCBT project.
