==CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY:==
Andarai was a just two years old when her parents died during a failed attempted to transport them down to the Vulcan colony of Cal`Tesh. Both were science officers with great future on Starfleet. After that incident a Vulcan couple offered to adopt and to raise her with them on the Vulcan. Since she didn`t have a close relatives the adoption was granted and the new parents added the name T'Rhiu to her original name, Vernek Andarai. They were conscious of the challenges of raising a human child among Vulcans but at that time they believed that aren`t going to be able to have children. 

Andarai grew-up without the proper stimulus of her emotional which was compensated with great mental discipline and career achievements. He learned and embraced a lot of Vulcan philosophy and traditions, but didn`t undergo some of the severe Vulcan trainings. Despite that, since the planet had a gravity pull more severe than Earth, she ended up building a strong and muscular body for a human girl. 

T'Rhiu's decision to go into Starfleet was driven by several things. T'Rhiu believed in order to understand the Vulcan culture, its history and future direction, she needed to expand her education to off-world cultures. Starfleet was the most logical place to gain such knowledge, in her mind. Second, her immediate family, V`Tes and Sotek, seemed adjusted to their live on Vulcan, with their new son, Matak whose education started to conflict with her own, since he was native Vulcan. Andarai believed her energies could be re-directed without disruption the family bond and respecting her natural human desire to expand knowledge. Besides, she didn`t want to follow some Vulcan traditions and the pressure from the her Vulcan relatives were starting to get insupportable.
