Change request of #trek010 Ro Laren Minifig title;
In this specific version, Ro Laren features the rank of Lieutenant - NOT Ensign!
Justification:
The wig piece has clearly visible bangs. When Laren first appeared in TNG serving
as an Ensign, she had all long hair tied to the back. Only by her later return
in S7E24 (Preemptive Strike), her hair changed to bangs as featured on the Minifig.
However, at that time, she already held the rank of a Lieutenant. So the entry
cleary has to be Lieutenant Ro Laren.

LEGO’s website refers to her as “ensign”. I’m not sure a miniature plastic figure’s
hairpiece that only approximates—at best—a human actor’s appearance in one episode
is enough evidence for a name change. But you have made me wish I could simply
change my hairstyle and be granted a promotion!

It is a significant change in appearance, otherwise there are already other existing
hairpieces matching her Ensign style way better... It is the same as for example
Riker - Minifig has beard, so it is def. appearance from season 3, not 1 and
2 (where he had no beard)

For minifigures in the catalog we use the official names from set boxes, instructions
and/or set descriptions when available. Since the set description on LEGO.com
refers to her as "Ensign Ro Laren", the name in the catalog will remain
as is - unless you can convince TLG to change the name in the set description
(which might actually be easier than you think - I have seen two instances this
year where "controversial" minifigure names were changed).
