Amaranta Fernandes

Commander Amaranta Ramirez is the first officer of the USS Tupuna (NX-76304) and second daughter of famous Federation scientists, Drs. Javier and Maria Ramirez.

Pre-Starfleet History
Both of her parents' scientific interests and inventions led her to her career in Starfleet.

Throughout her childhood, Amaranta Ramirez spent a lot of time aboard the USS Auckland (NCC-4100) with her siblings, Remedios and Antonio, and her parents as the latter two tested various prototype equipment they had invented.

Sometime during her teenage years, her parents' experiments with a coaxial warp drive aboard the Auckland went horribly wrong, severely damaging the ship and issuing an abandon ship order from the ship's captain. Amaranta survived this incident, and the survivors spent several weeks on a planet affected by the aftermath, nearly driving them all insane. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Salvation")

Antonio Ramirez
In 2372, Amaranta Ramirez was finishing an assignment on Betazed. Her next mission was second-in-command of a deep space mission aboard the USS Tupuna (NX-76304). She tried to convince Tony to join her on the Tupuna in the hope that getting him away from the Federation would help him finally get over the death of his former partner, Olivia De Luca, aboard the USS Wellington (NCC-28473).
