Personal History

As a child T’Lea traveled extensively with her father on various archeology expeditions across the galaxy. T’Lea was a mischievous and rebellious child. She always went out of her way to try and evoke emotion from her father – this was partly due to her devilish Romulan side, and partly due to her father’s neglect.

Eventually, Zadok returned home to Vulcan and took a stationary job as a professor so that his daughter might have a stable home and strong moral foundation to grow on. T’Lea fought the Vulcan lifestyle for as long as she could, but soon embraced the discipline and self-control teachings of Surak. T’Lea finally settled down into Vulcan customs and began to suppress everything Romulan when she reached adolescence.

After joining Starfleet Academy to pursue a career in Federation Space Aviation, T’Lea suddenly found that the intense stress of academy life was responsible for resurrecting the powerful antagonistic Romulan side that she tried so hard to mute. T’Lea’s “dark side” finally got the better of her during a flight sim designed to test the cadets teamwork skills under extreme pressure. The insufferable bickering of her teammates pushed T’Lea over the edge and she purposely crashed the shuttlecraft, killing everyone onboard. Needless to say she failed the flight simulation and as a result her entire team, including T’Lea, had to retake the class the following year. For T’Lea the minor set back was worth it just to see the shocked looks on all her teammates faces when she slammed the shuttle simulation into the rear-end of a giant Cardassian Garaqulicar lizard. Once T’Lea cleared her head of the "incident", she re-evaluated her desires and goals at the academy and switched majors to the less stressful environment of Science.

The rest of T’Lea’s days at the academy were fairly uneventful and most incidents that T’Lea faced were personal, inner-conflicts of emotion. To this day she still struggles with her good Vulcan side and her unstable Romulan heritage.

• Notes: (**T'Lea hates spending time on the holodeck. She loves Vulcan Spice Tea and enjoys the company of Humans because they make her feel more "Vulcan". Vulcans, on the other hand, make her feel very inadequate at times. She wears her hair in an untraditional Vulcan style, long, but braided back when on-duty.**) (**T'Lea: pronounced T'Lee**)
