* '''Temperament''': Sabina is a very polite and friendly officer. But she carries the Betazoid trait of openness and has a rebellious spirit. Consequently, she is often thought of as someone who would say anything, to anyone. Some colleagues and authority figures have found this to be useful and are grateful she speaks her mind. Still others have thought her to be brash and speak at inappropriate times.

*'''Parents''':
**'''Mother''': Risha Tiam, teacher of religious studies, Betazoid
**'''Mother''': Risha Tiam, teacher of religious studies. Sabina’s mother is a very traditional woman. She believes deeply in her religious teachings as well as the old fashioned idea that women should always run the household. Risha has made it her mission to increase the social status of her family name, whatever the cost. Many of her hopes for achieving this now rest on the decision of whom Sabina will eventually marry. Risha Tiam did not take kindly to Sabina leaving for Earth, and while they have reconciled after a long period of silence, the relationship between mother and daughter is strained at best.
**'''Father''': Micah Marcil Tiam, adjudicator in the Betazoid government
**'''Father''': Micah Marcil Tiam, adjudicator in the Betazoid government. Micah Marcil Tiam is a humble, progressive man. He was bonded to Risha Tiam at birth and in adulthood went through with his prearranged marriage. Eventually, he developed a deep love for Risha, despite her less than modern ways. He frequently works away from home and managed to maintain a relationship with Sabina after she left Betazed in large part because of his consistent support of her choices.
*'''Siblings''': None

Upon Fyn’s visit to Starbase 118, the two discussed the idea of going forward with the marriage and what it would mean for them both. Ultimately, Sabina explained that she would not be return to Betazed permanently any time in the near future and any wedding plans were postponed indefinitely. Though, Fyn still holds on to some hope that Sabina will change her mind before he is forced to move on.
*'''Children''': None
*'''Children''': None

In the warm months, She would play with the older children from her town. They would run through the woods and play a telepaths game of hide and seek, changeling themselves to locate the other children using only their mental powers. The play would often become very serious. In retrospect, Sabina thought it might have been because they all had gone through the Dominion attack on Betazed. They may have been the only Betazoid generation to play such war games.

Tiam attended the University of Betazed at age 16. While she was academically talented, her main motivation was to get away from home. Her parents had grown to expect that she take over their duties at the temple. While Sabina is religious, she craved more out of her life. Begrudgingly, her parents allowed her to attend the University, but they stayed skeptical. While there, she studied politics and diplomacy with a focus on revolutions.

Her parents had grown to expect that she take over their duties at the temple. While Sabina is religious, she craved more out of her life. Begrudgingly, her parents allowed her to attend the University, but they stayed skeptical. While there, she studied psychology and sociology with a focus on revolutions.


While at University, Sabina met Misha Rhonin, a Betazoid lobbyist who was guest teaching that semester. Not one of her students, Sabina met Misha at a local coffee shop and the two instantly connected. They formed a very close relationship, but Misha worked a busy schedule traveling so Sabina kept her independence. Now working in Starfleet Diplomatic Corps as part of the civilian contingent, Misha stays in touch with Sabina.
Her parents worry about her attending university away from home would prove wise. Sabina learned two things there: communicating verbally with non-Betazoids may never be her strong suit and she needed more than that small, mountain town she had come from. At the end of her time at University, Sabina applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Academy. She left for San Francisco the day of graduation from UofB. It was an emotional day to say the least. Sabina had never been off world and that was the first her parents heard of her application to Starfleet.

Tiam enjoyed her time at the Academy. She majored in Intelligence, minored in communications and took any available diplomacy courses. Her species of specialty ended up being the Romulans and she has since stayed current on her language skills. Though, her accent is even more apparent in Romulan.

While living in San Francisco, Sabina began working with a local performance tribe in her off time. It was there she learned to hoop and perform aerial silks.

Upon graduation from the Academy, she entered into Starfleet Intelligence training where she specialized as an analyst. Taking advantage of the proximity to an Academy campus, Sabina also began taking courses in psychology and counseling as she knew they would be useful to her once she was on assignment. A review of Tiam’s final evaluations at the end of her SFI training was given a deferred decision. Consequently, her initial posting was in tactical.
 
Ever the academic, upon her posting to [[Starbase 118]], Sabina once again embraced the benefit of having an institution of higher learning in her backyard. Quietly, as she hated gossip about unfinished goals, Sabina completed her courses for certification as a Starfleet counselor and (thanks to a sister schools program and distance learning) was able to begin her work on a Master’s degree in psychology with a focus on diplomacy from the University of Betazed.

* '''2391''': Assigned to the USS Apollo-A as a tactical officer, Sabina was eager to prove herself. Her first posting turned out to be a positive growing experience. Her preconceptions about life as an officer were challenged, as was her ability to work with all types of people. After an altogether successful mission, Tiam was informed her transfer to Intelligence was approved. However, her excitement was short-lived. Mid shore leave just as the year was ending and prior to what would have been her first mission in the Intelligence department, Sabina received transfer orders.
