The only El-Aurain aboard the enterprise, she easily made friends because of her great listening abilities. Her race had been scattered by the Borg. She was born in the early 1900 on El-Aurain. She hid from her father in a game of hide and seek on Earth where she met Samuel Clemins.
She kept Alberian Whiskey in Ten forward despite Starfleet’s synthehol rule. When Guinan met Q it was realized that they were enemies.
In 2263, she trained Picard in fencing. She then intentionally lost a match saying she didn’t like the sport anymore.
A few months later when the Enterprise crew too Hugh a board, Guinan asked Picard if it was wise to do so. He said to her it was an errand of mercy and they had humanitarian reasons to care for him.
She was married 23 times and had lots of children.
Guinan and Picard shared a long term relationship, which was “beyond friendship and beyond family.” She said to Geordi that she was attracted to bald men. In response Picard said that “she was very selective about whom she called a friend.”
Guinan helped when Data’s death was eminent by Commander Bruce Maddex. Guinon guided Picard in seeing that building a whole race of Androids would be much like slavery in human history.
Guinon and Picard often shared a game of chess.
In a conversation once with Wesley Crusher, he said sometimes you have to consider others ahead of yourself and she replied, yes, but there are times you have to think of yourself before others.
In 2366 she introduced Worf to Prune Juice. Worf called this a warriors drink. She inquired why he sat alone. Guinon helped a lot of the unhelpable people become social members of the crew such as Ro Laren and Worf. She retained friendships with Captain Picard through what he thought was a short time which turned into a long time.
