Yolanda Lansford

Yolanda Lansford is a fairly important character in the "Maternal Matrimony" Rejuve Universe story series. She's a Starfleet junior officer, promoted from ensign to lieutenant junior grade during the early stories, stationed on Starbase Seventeen. Before the rejuve of protagonist Carlton Kristain, she was a bridge crew member on his medical spaceship and thus under his direct command, while afterward her role is primarily that of his occasional babysitter. It's stated that Yolanda had a mild crush on Carlton when he was her military superior, and she shows considerable fondness for him once he's a five-year-old.

Via her change in status relative to Carlton, becoming his babysitter after having been his Starfleet subordinate, Yolanda demonstrates the 'reversal of fortune' situation facing him in his new life as a kindergarten-aged rejuve, especially when she ends up putting him through an extended nude disciplinary session the first time she babysits for him.

Yolanda is described as highly attractive physically, with Nordic characteristics (blonde hair, blue eyes) seemingly somewhat similar to Carlton's. Fairly tall (5 ft), quite buxom and extremely well-versed in hand-to-hand combat, she is one of several physically-imposing females in her one-time commander's new life as a rejuved child. In terms of physiological age, Yolanda is twenty-six years old; how many previous adult lives (if any) she's had before her present one is undetermined.

Except for the McMichael family, all military (Starfleet) characters/families on Starbase Seventeen have the last names of National Football League placekickers during the 1970s-80s period; Yolanda is named after Mike Lansford (Los Angeles Rams).
