Let's make this happen, girl you gonna show the world that

But that doesn't cover her history before the show so I'm going to sum it up...  just like the show does. Aisha grew up in a happy home, and as a child went on to attend the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire's highest educational institution and graduated with honors. Jump to the start of the the series and she's eighteen and a Plenipotentiary Ambassador, and promptly loses that position thanks to the then crew of the Outlaw Star.

Aisha Clanclan is a proud Ctarl-Ctarl; an alien, cat-like race. Her pride, in both her race and herself, may be her defining trait. She almost constantly brags on her own strength, and the strength of the Ctarl-Ctarl. While annoying, it's based on fact: she is the strongest member of the crew, and wins the title of the strongest woman in the universe. She sees Ctarls as being inherently better than other races, and sees herself as being better than others. Upon arriving upon the Outlaw Star, she dismisses the ship as being inferior to Ctarl spacecraft. However, after it gets hit by missiles and is (relatively) okay, she acknowledges that the ship is "tougher than she thought". Although she is stubborn when it comes to reaching her goals (she hitchhikes across space to find Gene at one point), she can admit she might be wrong. Which doesn't necessarily mean that she will, just that she isn't completely delusional.

Aisha has a very hot temper and is easily upset. This seems to be a trait common to most Ctarl-Ctarl, as seen when they were going after the outlaw Hilda. The person who usually gets the worst of it is Gene, but he's also the one who eggs her on the most. Her temper usually gets her fired from jobs, she's shown getting fired from two in the show. She's also seen sentencing Outlaws that she'd captured on the ship she'd been in command of to be executed.

Before getting involved with the Outlaw Star, she was Ambassador Plenipotentiary to the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire. Going to space is the highest honor in Ctarl-Ctarl society, and Aisha definitely sees it as such. When she gets demoted to Resident Officer of Blue Haven (a title with no perks, basically leaving her stranded) she is enraged and vows revenge. She spends the first half of entire series trying to earn her position back, trying to get back to her "place in the sun". Titles are important to Aisha, and to the Ctarl-Ctarl. Yet she chooses to go with the rest of the crew to a different part of space at the end of the show, with no mention of the empire at all. At that point, it's safe to say that she is, at the very least, as loyal to her friends as she is to the empire. And she's extremely loyal to the empire.

Yet she's also extremely loyal to her friends. Despite her pride and self-centered tendencies, once she joins the crew she's really quite the team player. She helps with finding odd jobs for the crew, and puts her life on the life more than once. The most notable instance of this is in the second to last episode, when they finally arrive at the Galactic Leyline (the place they have been trying to reach from the beginning, which is rumored to contain treasure). The entire crew sets out to find the treasure, split up, and are challenged by pirates. When her and Jim run into a particular strong one, she sends him ahead for his safety. It seems like your typical heroic gesture, yet it means more than that. She cares more about his safety than she does about the treasure. This treasure could have done more than got her position back, it could have potentially gotten her a promotion. But she doesn't hesitate to send him on.

 

For the most part, Aisha is persistent. After her declaration that she wouldn't stand for her demotion, she's thrown into a wild series of events that include hunting down hijackers, wearing a ridiculous costume to advertise for a company, and being used to look and listen for movement outside of a spaceship. She takes odd jobs, all of which are below her education, and all to achieve her ultimate goal of getting her title back. There is never any doubt in her mind that she will, and her belief in herself is absolute.

Although she's an officer and had been training for a position in the military for most of her life, she doesn't typically behave with any sort of decorum. She's quite childish the majority of the time, which makes the moments she's competent stand out even more. But she has her clever moments (tricking Gene into taking her on the ship, having been calling the Empire and reporting information the entire time she was with the crew) and her more thoughtful ones (praying over a man she believes is dead, comforting an upset Jim). When she does think, it's generally to good results, she's just more of a "do first and ask questions later" type of person, which may be typical of her entire race.

At her third phase of transformation, which she calls her "beast power", she becomes a creature that looks like a large white tiger. She is extremely powerful in this form, and the moon only amplifies it. However, the form is hyper-metabolic, and she can't stay in it for long. She's only capable of acting on pure instinct while in it. Afterwards, she's exhausted, and needs lots of food to recoup the calories. LOTS OF FOOD, if eating enough for several grown men is an ability, it's definitely one she has. Along with that I'm assuming she has an iron stomach, as her home-cooked meal is very questionable-looking and she swallowed a bowl once.)

Aisha graduated from the Empire's academy with honors (I assume military, it doesn't say specifically), to get her position of Ambassador Plenipotentiary. Considering her high position in the military, it's safe to assume she has basic knowledge of weapons and military operations (she's shown with a machine gun as a teen and using a whip during the series, ties someone up to where they can't escape). And considering that position is as a diplomat, I assume experience with that as well, though she's only shown as commanding her ship while she's in that position.
