=='''Family and Background'''==
[[Image:Elas.jpg|thumb|Elas]][[Image:Elaspalace.jpg|thumb|left|The Elasian Palace]] Julia Tagliani was born Julii Targonlianistrestorienger on the planet of Elas.  She came from a powerful family and led a priveleged life. Julia's family was heavily involved in politics, and as such are very well known on Elas.  When Julia was six years old, her family moved into a subsectioin of the Dohlman's palace, where Julia began training as a handmaiden and companion of the Dohlman of Elas.  While working at the palace she became friends with one of the gardeners, and eventually the gardener's son, (who was human) Thomas Giglionni.  By the time she was thirteen, both she and Thomas had decided that they were going to go to Starfleet Academy on Earth.  However, two years later Julia began developing her allergies.  With no warning, she began sneezing and crying while working in a science lab with some animals.  A tear hit with Thomas, causing a massive change in the nature of their relationship.  Julia was uncomfortable with Thomas's newfound affection for her and left the planet.  Thomas was devastated, and eventually committed suicide.  Julia felt horribly guilty, and her life changed.  She decided that she was going to go to Starfleet Academy in the Science track, instead of CONN and command.  In the Science track, she was going to begin studying and eventually develope a cure for Elasian tears.  She began studying hard and using her families contacts to pull strings and get her noticed.  She eventually managed to draw the attention of a Starfleet Captain Roger Haskell, who sponsored her to the academy even though she was only seventeen.  After much deliberation, she was accepted to the academy younger than any cadet before her, for her maturity, her drive, and most importantly her intelligence, a trait shared by many Elasian women, but not utilized, due to the fact that it isn't needed to get by in their world.  She 'humanized' her name to Julia Tagliani at Starfleet Academy so that her instructors could pronounce it, She chose an Italian influenced one in memory of her friend Thomas.  She allows only her closest friends to call her Julii.
