Amanda Grayson

anxious self-doubting impulsive enthusiastic humanizing determined cherished enduringly influential
Amanda Rogers (also known as Amanda Grayson) is an eighteen-year-old Starfleet Academy intern and academic prodigy with expertise in neurobiology, plasma dynamics, and eco-regeneration.

Season 3 · asteroid

Amanda Grayson stands as the human wife of Vulcan ambassador Sarek and mother to Spock. Sarek's mind-meld with Picard unleashes his buried regret toward her, as he confesses through Picard, 'Amanda... I could have given you so much more. I wanted to show you tenderness.'
