Amanda Rogers was a female Q born in 2351 in Topeka, Kansas, on Earth's North American continent. Unlike other Q, she was raised as a Human into adulthood when she joined the Q Continuum and consequently retained a moral code. Her academic accomplishments resulted in degrees in neurobiology, plasma dynamics, and eco-regeneration (with honors). She was accepted to Starfleet Academy in 2369 and selected out of hundreds of applicants for an internship on the USS Enterprise-D.
