Ah, Harry. Harry, Harry, Harry. If all the other Ensigns on this list have been emblematic of the Ensign rank’s most noble traits, Harry is emblematic of Ensigns because… well, he did so much shit while Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant and never got credit for it!
Imagine watching all your friends around you on the bridge getting promotions despite being zillions of lightyears from Starfleet command. Imagine dying like, what, a year into the whole ordeal and getting replaced by an alternate reality version of yourself? Imagine going up against that weird horny fear clown! Imagine watching Tom Paris—Actual Convict—get promoted over you, demoted, and then re-promoted above you. Harry went through all that, and more, and you know what? He did it with a smile. Sure, he’s a bit of a dweeb at times, but he never got frustrated that he was seemingly perpetually doomed to never get his due—Harry still persevered. That is an Ensign spirit. Ensigns get the job done, even if they don’t always get the recognition for it.
