Other than that, she has a mild and cool temperament. She will never be as controlled as a Vulcan who regularly practices the disciplines. The violation of her DNA as a child and the results of two surgeries (one to transform her into a human, one to return her to her Vulcan state) resulted in irreparable (as of yet) damage to her neural pathways that prohibit her full assimilation of the Vulcan way. | ||

Once she went through her genetic change, she suffered spiritually, but she has sense combined her beliefs and the beliefs of her people into a new understanding of an all-powerful creator. Several years ago while on Vulcan, she had an encounter with a being she came to know as "the One," a spiritual essence that she learned later is known by many Vulcans. | ||

Sakorra is difficult to analyze. One minute, she may be smiling and laughing, having a good time and conversation with you. The next, she may act as though she hardly knows you and you didn't just have this great conversation. Sometimes, she is cooly aloof, sometimes unforgivingly blunt and hot-tempered, and still other times, she is friendly and sweet-tempered. Her personality is a bit hard to pin down. | Sakorra is difficult to analyze. One minute, she may be smiling and laughing, having a good time and conversation with you.

** Presuppostion: All Vulcans have no emotion. Sakorra absolutely hates this mindset. She is the first to point out that Vulcans do indeed have emotions, quite strong ones, in point of fact. | ** Presuppostion: '''All Vulcans have no emotion'''''Italic text''. Sakorra absolutely hates this mindset. She is the first to point out that Vulcans do indeed have emotions, quite strong ones, in point of fact, and it is a blessing and curse that she must daily endure. Most Vulcans have been raised their entire lives to control their emotions. Reed did not have that luxury, and so she is a Vulcan who can get quite emotional. She's had people say, "Oh, she must be Romulan" because she showed some emotion. And she is sick and tired of the strange looks she gets when she smiles or laughs...or yes, gets angry. | ||

Reed's most fervent goal is to find her missing adoptive father. Missing for nearly 24 years, she holds hope of finding Michael Reed, but a new lead has given her cause to believe that she will not find him alive. | Reed's most fervent goal is to find her missing adoptive father.

''Amendment: On Stardate 238810.12, Sakorra received news on Vulcan that her father's ship had been sighted for approximately 3.72 seconds. The tactical officer on duty's report showed the presence of tachyon emissions. The ship was believed to possess a cloak that malfunctioned for the amount of time that the ship was sighted.'' | ||

Sakorra is happy with the adjustment she has made to her biological Vulcan genetics. Growing up human was difficult, and though the transformation back to her Vulcan self and the journey she has gone through in recent years has been hard, Sakorra feels that she is more herself now. Her disappointment, though, is the belief she has that she is responsible for the mental illness her husband suffered in the past. She believes that her own mental troubles caused unnecessary strain on him. In addition, he decided to go the way of the Kohlinaru and became an initiate. He was successful in the program and emerged even less in touch with his emotions than he already was. Sakorra, having little training in emotion suppression, feels things keenly, and this has caused no little amount of estrangement between the bonded couple. | Sakorra is happy with the adjustment she has made to her biological Vulcan genetics.

Recently, Sakorra had suffered from her inattention to the disciplines and their importance. Her emotions were raw, bordering on out of control. She was able to hold it together while she was on duty, but often found herself overly emotional at home, in a way that had negatively affected her relationship with her grandfather and her husband, who believed at the time that her son would be better off being raised by her grandfather on Vulcan. The knowledge that they went behind her back to discuss this coupled with her husband's inattention, coldness, and disapproval of her struck at her heart. | Recently, Sakorra had suffered from her inattention to the disciplines and their importance.

More recently telepathic attacks while held captive by a species the crew of Starbase 118 inadvertantly discovered had left her neural pathways open and raw, prompting hallucinations and extreme heights of temper. Drawing on old lessons from an unconventional Vulcan healer, Sakorra sought treatment from the adepts at Mt. Seleya, and their lessons, coupled with a spiritual encounter with an ancient power set her back on the path of the Vulcan disciplines. | More recently telepathic attacks while held captive by a species the crew of Starbase 118 inadvertantly discovered had left her neural pathways open and raw, prompting hallucinations and extreme heights of temper.

''Personal Amendment: While stationed for a short time together on Starbase 118, Sakorra and Solok were reunited. Both admitted their mistakes of the past. Solok and Sakorra opened their minds to each other and a long-standing rift between the bonded couple was mended. The two Vulcans are now as deeply connected as is intended for a bonded couple. Their differences understood and accepted by the other, Solok and Sakorra share a closeness and a friendship in their relationship that has not exited since they were first bonded, and has perhaps, never existed until now.'' | |||

Her family being a Starfleet family, she entered the academy and did well, though she had no friends. After her cadet cruise, she was assigned to the [[USS Kodiak]]. During a mission, she received an electrical shock which caused her latent Vulcan DNA to overtake her manufactured Terran DNA. The process nearly took her life, but with expert medical care, she emerged from her treatment as a full-fledged Vulcan, no physical trace evident of her former Terran self. Mentally, things were not as seamless. Though now having answers for why she had never adjusted to a Terran lifestyle, Ms. Reed now had the task of integrating her two identities, Jefferson Reed and the Vulcan Sakorra. It took several years and visits to Vulcan to work with healers and Vulcan adepts in the mental disciplines before she was able to finally be at peace with her life. | Her family being a Starfleet family, she entered the academy and did well, though she had no friends.
