Her human mother Elisabet is a schoolteacher on betazed and her betazoid father, Tamun, is a farmer. From a very young age she acquired a love of the land and farming tha led her into science. She always intended to take over the Family Farm, but in secondary school she was recruited to Starfleet and hasn't looked back since. She has an older sister in the command track of Starfleet, Alarisa; two younger sisters - Erithe and Maha who help her parents with the farm and one younger brother, Adrian who is still in secondary school. The rumor is Mother might be expecting again!

Education

The usual sort of primary and secondary schools a child of the Federation is expected to attend. While she wasn't at the top of her class, she wasn't at the bottom either, except where the sciences were concerned. Her interests are in botany and so she persued them with a vengeance. Her teachers wanted her to become a physician, but she found that her love of plants outweighed that of caring for people. She was accepted into the scientific section of starfleet within a semester of her being at the Academy.
