Biography[]
Early life[]
Nina Popov was born in the mid-23rd century. As a child, Popov was often babysat by her older cousin, Pavel Chekov. Chekov often believed that she spent too much of her time reading books and studying, rather than experiencing life and romance. As she grew older, Popov's tendency to focus on the academic proved to grow stronger as she worked toward gaining a medical degree as well as enrolling and progressing to a Starfleet career as she began attending Starfleet Academy. Her decision to join Starfleet may have been party inspired by Chekov's stories of his adventures aboard the USS Enterprise and his friendships with Hikaru Sulu and Nyota Uhura.
