12. Joann Owosekun

Joann Owosekun, affectionately nicknamed “Owo” by her USS Discovery crewmates, stands out as another beacon of untapped potential in the Star Trek: Discovery universe. As a bridge officer, Owo embodies a blend of quiet strength and steadfast reliability, confidently managing her responsibilities with an ease that underscores her competence.

What makes Owo particularly intriguing is the rich lore behind her background, rooted in a Luddite collective. This facet of her character offers a delightful paradox: a life that began in a technology-refusing environment, now flourishing in an environment full of space-age tech. This contrast between her past and present isn’t just a mere character detail but a gateway to a ton of stories waiting to be told, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of tradition and progress.

Envision the captivating episodes that could have delved deeper into Owo’s narrative: her personal challenges, her victories, and perhaps the internal tug-of-war between her original values and the principles of Starfleet. While we catch glimpses of her impressive physical prowess and tactical smarts, there’s an unmistakable sense that these traits are merely the beginning of what Owo has to offer.

With her subtle yet undeniable resilience, Owosekun had the makings of a standout figure, one who could bring both depth and a fresh viewpoint to Star Trek. Her character is like an uncharted star system in the vast Trek universe: partially explored, with countless mysteries still to unravel, leaving fans eager and yearning for more.
