Description
#5 on my list of the Top Ten Badass Heroines of TOS.

Who she is: Someone who requires no introduction.

Why she's cool:
- She's fourth in command on the Enterprise, after Scotty.
- She maintains that soothing, telephone-operator voice even in the face of imminent, fiery death.
- She completely re-educates herself in a matter of days after Nomad wipes her brain.
- She can convince Klingons that she knows how to speak Klingon. (See my journal entry on why the universal translator is stupid.)
- In "Mirror Mirror," she pulls a knife on evil Sulu and beats up Marlena Moreau.
- She has jam sessions with Spock.

And, most importantly, she is the only female who is in just about every episode. Uhura is a senior officer, and she's treated exactly the same as all of the other senior officers. Apparently in the 23rd century, being a woman in the military, in space, isn't even a big deal.

I don't know about you guys, but for me, the hardest part of drawing people is getting the eyeballs to look in the same direction. This time, for some reason, that took freaking forever.

Also, backgrounds are for chumps.
