Doctor on the Enterprise-D and mother of Wesley.
Beverly Crusher is the chief medical officer aboard the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation. She is a skilled and compassionate doctor and the widow of Jack Crusher, a Starfleet officer who served under Jean-Luc Picard and died on a mission.
She is also the mother of Wesley Crusher, and her fierce love for her son shapes many of her actions. Her friendship with Picard grows through the series into a deep emotional bond that both of them struggle to name. Her medical career also includes a brief period commanding Starfleet Medical, and she plays a role in a handful of hard-hitting stories exploring ethics in medicine and the limits of knowledge.
Beverly returns in Star Trek: Picard, where her relationship with Jean-Luc and with her son Jack comes to the fore, and she is remembered as a caring, intelligent and independent woman.
