Chronological History

---

Nuvia was born on Trill on 236706.20. Her father was a city councilman, and her mother was an engineer. Neither worked particularly long days, so Nuvia was never left in isolation for long periods of time. When Nuvia was six, her younger brother Nohan was born. During her secondary schooling, Nuvia took a few odd jobs here and there, but never stuck with anything on Trill. She was very good at making friends at a young age, and these friendships lasted until she left Trill. Her parents urged her to stay and try to apply to be joined, but she wasn't keen on the idea. She left Trill as soon as she was able, bringing a friend from her graduating class with her, and traveled around for a year on a civilian ship. Her friend departed halfway through to return to Trill, as he was going to apply to be joined.

After another half a year traveling on the civilian ship, she arrived at a starbase. She hadn't dealt with Starfleet all that much in her travels, and always had viewed them as too stiff for her to be interested in at all. But after remaining on the starbase for only about a week she realized most officers could be quite personable.

During her stay on the starbase, she quickly made friends with people she didn't know were Starfleet officers while they were off-duty. After a few days however, they started talking about their jobs, their responsibilities, and she realized she was seeing the person behind the uniform for the first time. Nuvia had never realized before just how much stress all those young officers she sees every day must go through constantly. She was glad that during her stay on the starbase, she was able to help those officers get their minds off of that stress at least for a few hours, or during a couple rounds at the bar. When she left, she realized that was what she wanted to do with her life. Trill didn't really have anything to offer her anymore, unless she changed her mind and wanted to be joined for some reason. She could think of no better way to help those Starfleet officers, and others like them in the future, than by joining Starfleet herself and becoming a counselor. She applied to the Academy soon after she left the starbase.

During her year as a freshman at the Academy, she somehow ended up getting very interested in psychology, and ended up on a track to become a counselor. She was assigned as an engineering officer aboard the USS Columbia, which she is comfortable with, as her mother was an engineer and she still is competent at the field.
