History and Education
Family and Background
Lo'ren T'Vof spent her early years on Bajor, in a mining camp in Rakantha Province. Her mother, Ari Sia, was a musician who was forced into the mines, her father, Dr. Tarven of Vulcan, is an independent medical doctor who had been allowed on the planet to care of the Bajoran workers but not allowed to leave. Dr. Tarven continues to reside in Rakantha Province, following the death of his wife three years ago.
Lo'ren grew up typically Bajoran, her parents having elected not to enforce the strict emotional control typical of Vulcan but instructed her in logic and the ways of Vulcan as well as those of Bajor and the Prophets. Lo'ren has no blood siblings but considers other mining camp survivors as being within her extended family. She also has begun to consider many of her Starfleet companions in this same view.
Ari Sia passed away due to complications from age related illness. She was 87 years of age.
Lo'ren is currently romantically involved with Jericho "Jack" Haynes.

Pre-Starfleet History
After Bajor was liberated, Lo'ren came out of the camps and was accepted into the Music Conservatory that was restarting in Rakantha. While young for an applicant, she was accepted because of exemplary teaching from her mother.
After completing those studies Dr. Tarven wanted his daughter to get off of Bajor. He used some of his own contacts to get Lo'ren recommended to Amazon University in Brazil, well known for their Exo-Linguistics program as Lo'ren had learned to speak 5 languages as a child and was quick to pick up words when interacting with Starfleet officers who came down to Bajor post-liberation.
At her father's request following graduation from Amazon University, Miss T'Vof spent some time on Vulcan, where she studied at the Science Directorate and attempted Kohlinar but chose not to complete the program. From there Lo'ren decided to apply to Starfleet Academy and received several recommendations from her University professors and Directorate instructors.
For further details, please refer to Background file.
Starfleet History
Miss T'Vof was successful at Starfleet Academy. While attending, she won a position as an official entertainer for Starfleet Diplomatic events, which she held every year until her graduation from the Advanced Tactical Training program in 2407.
She enjoyed the challenges presented to her regularly, especially when she transferred into the Tactical Program. Lo'ren spent her free time with several other Cadets from her Class Grouping. Her closest friends from this time, whom she graduated with and still enjoys corresponding with and spending free time with in Holodeck activities are Yuri Abelev, Eoin Mac Liam, Bolan Tavik and Apollo Stephens. She also occasionally spent time with a Cadet named Viskhard until he graduated.
Lo'ren graduated from Starfleet Academy Summa Cum Laude as a Member of the Coif.

Starfleet Academy Cadet, majoring in OPS and Engineering, with a secondary concentration in communications and diplomacy.
2404
Transferred to Advanced Tactical Training Program.
2407
Academy Graduate
Promoted to Ensign (jg)
Medical History
Lo'ren has a rather noticeable scar that runs up from her left arm to the side of her face. Received during her childhood, it is a stark white reminder of the Cardassian mistreatment of Bajorans. Shaped much like a vine, it is the remnant of a run-in with severely malfunctioning equipment which sent a current of plasma energy coursing up her arm when it was touched. Lo'ren has no difiiculties from the scar itself, but retains deep anger towards the Gul who ordered her to repair that equipment.
Has the typical T-cell anomalies found in many Bajorans, also has Vulcan T-negative blood type (rare).
Due to Lo'ren being of interspecies heritage, there is a margin of imprecision when predicting possible medical complications, but she has been exposed to the typical childhood illnesses common to both her parent species.
Looks younger than her physical age; appears to have inherited the longer life-span of her Vulcan Heritage.
