==The Early Years==
==The Early Years==
Alana Devar was born in Mestara, Betazed just outside the Janaran Falls.  Mestara is located just outside the city of Medara.  She was the middle child of her parents, Devyn and Arianna Devar.


Alana Devar was born in Mestara, Betazed, just outside the Janaran Falls to Betazed Ambassador, Devyn Devar of the 13th House of Peace and Protection, and Arianna Sarrin-Devar, a highly renown Geologist. She was the middle child; Arista, being the eldest, was five years older than Alana. Galwyn, her brother and the youngest of the three, was only one year younger. Her childhood and adolescent history is a bit vague, but records do report that she started to develop empathic abilities at the age of thirteen. Also, added, being born with telepathy (as most Betazoidâ�?��?�s develop this in adolescence), she went through intense Vulcan/Betazoid meditative and controlling techniques, strengthening a young Alanaâ�?��?�s mind, thus allowing her to not go mad with â�?��?mental noiseâ�?��?�. Through these lessons she learned the Vulcan mind meld (imperative for her treatments). She learned how to control her gift, much to her parent's surprise and delight. It was apparent that her telepathic prowess was exceedingly exceptional.

Through these lessons she perfected the Vulcan [[ma:mind meld|mind meld]], which imperative to her treatments. It was apparent that her telepathic prowess was exceedingly exceptional at a young age.
    
    
It was the age of 15 that her and her family supposedly arrived on Vulcan for diplomatic matters, upon the recommendation of the Devar family friend, Tarin (who would later become Alanaâ�?��?�s mentor). Alana immediately fell in love with Vulcan, deciding to reside there after her family left. Of course this was frowned upon, but her wishes were granted. She was enrolled in the Vulcan Science Academy, for all her preliminary studies on Betazed were finished. Alana was a bright young girl, with aspirations of expanding her knowledge the best she could.

It was there it was said she met a young Vulcan male by the name of Savek (who was undoubtedly Tarinâ�?��?�s youngest son). Apparently, there was some history between the two. Although sheâ�?��?�s never confirmed any of the happenings vocally, it was said that the two bonded, upon the grace and encouragement of both Vulcan and Betazoid families. It was also about this time that her family was off near the Neutral Zone for diplomatic affairs with the Romulans (Alana was 16/17 at the time); needless to say, her parents and siblings were killed, along with a few ships in the massacre. Sufficient evidence was found in confirming the death of both parents and sister Arista. However, no such evidence was found in Galwynâ�?��?�s case; but, given the circumstances, officials deemed his fate as deceased. The news was unsettling, leaving a defenseless and emotional Alana in itâ�?��?�s wake - she even learned the nerve pinch with ill matters in mind, but finally overcame the sadness with Tarinâ�?��?�s help.

Though she rarely speaks about that, or any other part of her personal life, it has been said that she was never really into science. Savek gave her inspiration upon her entry. When word spread of her familyâ�?��?�s death, she grew closer to the Vulcans who took her little analytical mind in. Ultimately, even through promises, Savek (who became her genetic bondmate) ended the relationship with Devar when she was 17. With child at the time, he graduated the Science Academy in pursuit of Starfleet for ''â�?��?more logical thingsâ�?�?''; he felt unsatisfactory in his bondage to a Betazoid female, and did not feel the connection as strong as it should be. This tore Alana up (who eventually miscarried due to grief and medical ailments); she turned completely cold and calculating, dedicating her life to the sciences and finding a hidden love and gift for it.

It was first suspected that the Romulans were responsible for their deaths, but it was later revealed (again, years later) that her father's ship was destroyed by a trans-dimensional rift leading to the Mirror Universe.   The news was unsettling, leaving a defenseless and emotional Alana in its wake - she even learned the nerve pinch with ill matters in mind, but finally overcame the sadness with Tarin's help.

After her graduation from the Vulcan Science Academy, at the age of 19, she thought to go to Starfleet herself to make a difference...to sedate a love of traveling she's always had, and to become an official Federation Officer. She breezed through the science and counseling/psychology courses, but was poor in the Engineering department. It was where she had the assistance of her friend, Makal Kora (who serves as an Engineer on the [[USS Victory]]). She had a bit of trouble, socially, in the Academy... being shy around crowds, she found herself attracted to her other friend, Horne Makra. However, she found personal affairs to be frivolous and decided to not pursue intimate affairs.  
After her graduation from the Vulcan Science Academy, Alana decided to pursue a career with Starfleet so she joined the Academy. She breezed through the science and counseling/psychology courses, but was extremely poor in the Engineering department. It was in that subject did she require the assistance of her friend, Makal Kora. She had a bit of trouble, socially, in the Academy, but found friendship with Makal and Horne Makra.

==Family==
==Medical Profile==


===='''Father'''====
====[[Serpentai]]====
Devyn Devar, Ambassador of Betazed (Deceased)
Her experience with the Serpentai led her to a near death experience in 2379.  As a result in the brief telepathic connection with this immensely powerful species, Alana’s abilities suffered a major blow to her barriers.  It nearly wrecked her years of conditioning in controlling her gifts.  She still suffers damage from the connection, but she has created new ways in dealing with the residual effects that are less conflicting as each year passes.


===='''Mother'''====
====Pregnancy====
Arianna Sarrin-Devar (Deceased)
Alana has been pregnant four times in her life.<br> 


===='''Siblings'''====
The '''first''' (Unnamed) was by her genetic bondmate, Savek, which resulted in a miscarriage.  This left scarring, emotionally and physically, in the young woman.
Galwyn Devar, Arista Devar (both deceased) and half sister, Carmen Rogers.


===='''Spouse/Significant Other'''====
The '''second''' pregnancy (Keiran) would come years later after being involved in her best friend’s (Idril’s) [[ma:Zhian’tara|Zhian'tara]].  Alana considers having taken the persona of the previous host and mother, Rumina Mar, during the ceremony prepared her body for motherhood. This may be a reason why she was so easily impregnated by a Trill man, though small medical assistance was needed through the duration of the [[ma:Inter-species_reproduction|inter-species pregnancy]].  The second pregnancy left Alana teetering between love interests and emotional/hormonal highs and lows (often affecting her judgement). 
[[Culemerwin, Halla|Halla Culemerwin]] (Romantic Interest)


===='''Children'''====
However, by the '''third''' pregnancy (Aelia), Alana did not experience these emotions.  After giving birth to her second child, Alana has noticed a significant change in her abilities. They are not as incapacitating and have lessen in severity, though remain quite strong in a comfortable way. She believes that carrying hybrid children have allowed the [[ma:psilosynine|psilosynine]] levels in her [[ma:paracortex|paracortex]] (the telepathic portion of a Betazoid’s brain) to normalize. This theory was later proven by doctors at the [[University of Betazed]].
Keiran Culemerwin Devar


===Family History===
After having her '''fourth''' pregnancy, producing her second daughter, [[Culemerwin-Devar, Halyna|Halyna]], Alana has become even more calm and able to manipulate and understand the gifts that she struggled with her entire life. She has found peace within herself and happiness in her family. There are ongoing studies at the University of her natural Betazoid gifts, and she is arguably one of the most talented Betazoids in recorded history.


Alana comes from a long line of Betazoid royal bloods, dating back generations upon generations.  Even though she is not in the next line to receive all her house's powers, she is an importance figure head for the family of the 13th House.
====Emotional Distress====
Alana has a past of being an emotional woman behind a stoic front. However, she has developed in a calm and confident individual (due to motherhood, status, etc) over time. See her [[Devar, Alana/Psychological Profile|psychological profile]] for more information.

===Family History===


===='''Devyn Devar'''====
Alana comes from a long line of Betazoid royal bloods, dating back generations upon generations. Her affairs with Starfleet help get the house's name out to the stars and other cultures. After Sumein's marriage to Satya, she has received all her house's powers and fortune. The fact was announced to her in late 2382 and was bittersweet; the ceremony took place in 2384. She took on the responsibilties to restore her House's credibility. Her title, following an elaborate Betazoid ceremony after her acceptance, has become '''''Alana, The Divine Lady of Peace and Protection of the House Devar.'''''
Husband of Arianna Sarrin-Devar and father to Alana and her three siblings (including half sister, Carmen Rogers). He was the son of 13th House Female Heiress, Katiya Devar who married a Betazoid artisan by the name of Sorin Gavel (he, of course, took her surname). Devyn grew up in a household with one sister by the name of Raina, who of course if the mother of Sumein. A delegate and Ambassador of the UFOP, Devyn became an influential figure for male Betazoids and fellow delegates alike. Even though he *did* have an affair on Arianna with Wilma (Carmen's mother), Devyn dearly loved his family. He was known for his passion on the written word and how his speeches rolled from his mouth with such fire and passion. It was from this commitment and dedication did Devyn become one of the most notable figures of StarFleet. However, the man's life was cut short by negotiations held near the Nuetral Zone. Revelations in the Mirror Universe led Alana to the real reason of her father's death -- he was imprisoned and murdered by the Mirror Alliance members.


===='''Arianna Sarrin-Devar'''====  
==='''Father'''===
Arianna was the daughter of a Karawati Priestess and Betazoid nobleman, but did not belong to any distinguished House, therefore, when she married Devyn she took his surname and hyphenated it to her maiden. Arianna inherited her mother's exotic looks and the uncommon "blonde" tresses, that are a rarity amongst her people. It was told to her at a young age that Karawati deemed the blonde Betazoids the keepers of the temples, although Arianna had much more decided for her life that veered her away from the religion -- that was school, where she eventually met Devyn and became a well known Geologist. Arianna was a main stay in Alana's difficult child hood when she endured excessive treatments for her telepathy. She cried for the welfare of her young daughter, finding it hard to pick to lesser of two evils: The complete numbing effects of Vulcan training or the madness of her telepathy. She would often fix her youngest daugher Amathalea Tea to sooth her nerves. Alana named her son after Arianna's father, Keiran Sarrin.
[[Devar, Devyn|Devyn Devar]], Ambassador of Betazed (Deceased)


===='''Galwyn Devar'''====  
==='''Mother'''===
Galwyn is the youngest of three children by Devyn and Arianna, and is one year younger than Alana. At the age of the attack of his father's ship and escorts, that would make the Ambassador's only son at the age of fifteen. It has come to Alana's attention during the mission that placed her face to face to the Mirror Universe that her brother ''could'' very well be still alive. Although this has yet to be proven, she still holds hope and fears what time might of done to her baby brother.
[[Sarrin-Devar, Arianna|Arianna Sarrin-Devar]] (Deceased)


===='''Arista Devar'''====  
==='''Siblings'''===
Alana's eldest sister, Arista, was the prodigy child of her parents and was enrolled in honor schools. She had just entered the University of Betazed and completed her second semester when she took the infamous trip with her parents during leave time. A bright future was in store for this aspiring Biologist and artisan. Her paintings still hang in the walls of the 13th House. There was an unspoken rivalry between Alana and Arista; Arista, Alana felt, was brighter and more beautiful than she could ever be. Even though it was confirmed of Arista's death, she is most active in Alana's dreams. It usually comes forth during a stressful event passing in the darker-haired sister's life, when she feels most helpless and inferior. Even though Arista was the mediator through the childhood conflicts of Galwyn and Alana, the two sisters loved each other even if the rivalry pursued.
[[Teyr, Gal|Galwyn "Gal Teyr" Devar]], [[Devar, Arista N.|Arista Devar]] (deceased) and Carmen Rogers (half sister)


===='''Sumein Devar'''====
==='''Spouse/Significant Other'''===
Well, here's something different: Sumein is ALIVE and is the current head of the 13th House. Currently, he is the chosen keeper of the Sceptar of Rixx, although currently the Peace Keepers are researching the heirloom's whereabouts. Shrewd and cunning, Sumein is the definition of royalty and snobbery, though Alana seems to curb some of this young boy toy's personality when she visits. Sumein is praised for his work in Betazoid History and the ethics of religious sects.
[[Culemerwin, Halla|Halla Culemerwin]]


===='''[[Devar, Raina|Raina Devar]]'''====
==='''Children'''===
Raina is the younger sister of Devyn Devar and mother to the heir, Sumein. Raina mainly keeps to herself as an ancient philosphy researcher, who owns a shoppe in the heart of Mestara. She is currently alive and well, running the shoppe and working at the local museums. It has been said that she isn't half right in the head; being born with the abilities of telepathy and the inability to screen out empathic waves (much like a younger Alana), Raina has suffered irreversible damage to her psyche. She denies any connection to the 13th house and blames a lot of things on instances that have never happened; it has been said by some that she is a soothe seer.

===='''Carmen Rogers'''====
==='''Other'''===
Carmen is the half sister of Alana Devar, and has a spunkier, more zealous energy about her. Like Arista, Alana has pin-pointed qualities about Carmen that she both envies and marvels over.  When she first found out Carmen was her long lost half sister from Tarin (who, consequentially, was studying the agenda for years), Alana was a bit resentful and curious as to why her father took a mistress while he was married to her mother, Arianna. However, after time and a mind-meld later, things became a bit more clearer: This was a blessing from the Goddess herself. She had a sister that was *alive*, and despite her father's adultry, this was the best gift she had for years.  Once stationed on the Independence, Carmen has accepted a TOP secret unknown mission and only StarFleet Intelligence knows her location -- she is a liason of much importance.

==Random Interesting Facts==
The newborn son of Alana Devar and Halla Culemerwin. He is half [[Trill]] and Betazoid.  Was born on Stardate 238207.03, one month premature on Deep Space 17.  
* '''Tattoos''': Alana's tattoos were given to her in her early teen years, signifying her dedication to her people and faith. They are typical not visible unless she is wearing civilian clothing.


==Love Life==
* '''Habits/Other''': Is a chocoholic and tends to babble a lot about melodramatic details of life, love and otherwise.  Alana is also known to bit her lower lip, twirl hair around her finger while she's in thought and think idealistically.  Though her intentions are always good natured, she can appear to be stoic or harsh at times.  Tends to says what she thinks and tends to be very honest, asking very open questions.  This quality seems to be a normal trait among the Betazoid people.  Alana is well-spoken, graceful, mild-mannered and collected and tries to advocate decisions that are dear and poignant to her.


Alana has many great loves in her life. Defying most customs, allowing her passion to be her maker and evading all the coldness that reered her intellect, Alana has come to love many. Though this love can only be explained to her and detailed in endless ways, each has their own place in her heart. As seriously passionate she is, the love she expresses works both ways... Listed are the most poignant figures of love for the woman.
* '''Culture''':She is fluent in Klingon, Vulcan, Betazoid and Terran (Latin, Hebrew, English, Italian, Greek, Korean, Catonese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and French), though it is apparent that her key languages are the Vulcan and Betazoid simply because of her exotic tone. Alana expresses an interest in pursuing knowledge in a wide variety of civilizations.


''See [[Devar Psychological Profile | psychological profile]] for information on how these relationships have impacted her mentally.''
* '''Food Preferences''': Vegetarian, but a sugar-freak and chocoholic, the woman also has an affinity for uttaberry crepes.  


===='''[[Savek]]'''====
* '''Head of the 13th House''': As the Head of the Sacred 13th House, Alana is deemed the Divine Lady of Peace and Protection and is holder of the Sacred Book and Scepter of Betazed after her cousin's marriage into the 2nd House. The artifacts have since been returned after their abduction in 2379/2380. They were stolen by [[Teyr, Gal|Gal Teyr]], who was later be revealed to be her long lost brother Galwyn Devar, who had spent most of his life posing as a Romulan. The details of the events are sketchy, but Alana left her position on the Independence to restore her family and House's credibility.
Was Alana's genetic bondmate, upon the grace and encouragement of both Vulcan and Betazoid families. Her dedication, devotion and near marriage to him came about the time her family headed towards the Neutral Zone for diplomatic affairs with the Romulans (Alana was 16/17 at the time); needless to say, her parents and siblings were killed, along with a few ships in the massacre.  Shortly after, even through promises, Savek ended the relationship with Devar when she was 17. With child at the time, he graduated the Science Academy in pursuit of Starfleet for â�?��?more logical thingsâ�?�?; he felt unsatisfactory in his bondage to a Betazoid female, and did not feel the connection as strong as it should be. Be rest assured, they did not part on the most friendliest of terms (RE: Alana slapped him in the face). This tore Alana up (who eventually miscarried due to grief and medical ailments). Savek is now married with children by a Vulcan woman named T'Panu. Savek is Tarin's (Alana's Mentor and Teacher)son.


===='''[http://www.starbase118.net/lcars/profdet.php?pid=181 Horne Dar Makra]'''====
* '''Infuence/Feminine Charm:''' Alana has an innate feminine charm that influences or intrigues others. This seems to strike a small cord of jealousy in her partner, Halla, but she is completely faithful to him and he knows this.
Makra and Alana met in the Academy during their first year. Even though they both had trouble adjusting socially, they found friendship in one another and another classmate, Makal Kora. The three even graduated the Cadet Cruise of â�?��?Prexâ�?�? together. Shortly after being posted to the same ship, Alana and Makraâ�?��?�s relationship gradually became a more romantic one and was professed as such during their trip together on Bajor (one where the usually gruff half Klingon handmade a pan of Uttaberry Crepes). They since shared numerous passionate encounters that was a lot more than just physical: but love for Alana.  She had held an attraction for him for several years, but would not admit it fearing the incident with Savek might repeat itself. Enduring many trials (ie: Serpentai Mission, et cetera), and after the wedding engagement of the two, Makra left to find a peace in himself. Having just confronted the testimonies of the true whereabouts and death of her family, Alana recoiled and slumped back into Vulcan mode where she ignored any connection with him. As time passed, Alana noted the error of her ways and sought help with Counselor Tâ�?��?�Anya Rea â�?��?? who was able to assist in melding both sides of Alana together into one. For a time she felt lost from him, and for a time he returned to her though their reunion was short lived. Having told him that she was to be his First Officer upon the transference of the Wallace, the two grew further apart. Does their love strain or will it mend through this obstacle? She uses the term â�?��?Imzadiâ�?�? in reference to Horne Makra, as he was the first to accept who she was and took her in full body and spirit.


===='''[[Culemerwin, Halla | Halla Culemerwin]]'''====
* '''Telepathy:''' Her extraordinary gifts of telepathy and empathy are special, even to Betazoid standards. The fact that she was born with them, challenged over them as a small child and is still able to control them as an adult with special barriers makes her a special figure in Betazoid House culture. More information can be found [[Devar, Alana/Telepathic Prowess|here]].
Alana met this mysterious, handsome Trill man one trip back to Betazed; it was a time to recover her true course in life and stray away from the Vulcan persona that continued to hamper down the natural responses to the tragedies of her life. They shared hearty conversations and a mutual interest. Come to find out a little later, the man that she had dinner with and an enchanted walk under the blanket of Betazed stars, was the twin brother of her best friend, Idril Mar. She did not realize the irony of the situation until she met him during Idrilâ�?��?�s ritual to connect with previous hosts back on Trill. It was there she gave in to her lust and desire for himâ�?�¦ It was unbridled and instigated by both individuals. He is the father of Alana's child, Keiran, which was the product of their one time tryst. Halla has a special place in the womanâ�?��?�s heart, although it is yet to be seen if the budding relationship will stand the tests of time and details of their affair. He is a traveling writer.

The Early Years

Alana Devar was born in Mestara, Betazed just outside the Janaran Falls. Mestara is located just outside the city of Medara. She was the middle child of her parents, Devyn and Arianna Devar.

Her childhood and adolescent history is a bit vague but records do report that she was born with full-blown telepathy. As most Betazoid's develop this in adolescence, she went through intense Vulcan/Betazoid meditative and controlling techniques that helped dim the extremeness of her abilities. These lessons strengthened a young Alana's mind, thus allowing her to not go mad with mental noise. Through these lessons she perfected the Vulcan mind meld, which imperative to her treatments. It was apparent that her telepathic prowess was exceedingly exceptional at a young age.

It was the age of 15 that her and her family supposedly arrived on Vulcan for diplomatic matters, upon the recommendation of the Devar family friend, Tarin (who would later become Alana's mentor). Alana immediately fell in love with Vulcan, deciding to reside there after her family left. Of course this was frowned upon, but her wishes were granted. She was enrolled in the Vulcan Science Academy, for all her preliminary studies on Betazed were finished. Alana was a bright young girl, with aspirations of expanding her knowledge the best she could.

It was there it was said she met a young Vulcan male by the name of Savek, who was undoubtedly Tarin's youngest son. Although she's never confirmed the personal relationship vocally to anyone (other than Horne Makra before he departed for Qo'nos), it was said that the Vulcan and Betazoid bonded upon the grace and encouragement of both families.

It was also about this time that her family was off near the Neutral Zone for diplomatic affairs with the Romulans near Yadalla Prime (Alana was 16/17 at the time). Needless to say, her parents and sister (Galwyn would prove to have lived years later) passed away shortly thereafter. It was first suspected that the Romulans were responsible for their deaths, but it was later revealed (again, years later) that her father's ship was destroyed by a trans-dimensional rift leading to the Mirror Universe. The news was unsettling, leaving a defenseless and emotional Alana in its wake - she even learned the nerve pinch with ill matters in mind, but finally overcame the sadness with Tarin's help.

When word spread of her family's death, Savek (who became her genetic bondmate) ended the relationship with Devar, who became pregnant in their one night union. He graduated the Science Academy in pursuit of Starfleet for more logical things. His reasoning? He felt unsatisfactory in his bondage to a Betazoid female. This broke Alana's heart. She eventually miscarried due to grief and medical ailments. Turning completely cold and calculating, the teenager dedicated her life to the sciences and found a hidden love and gift for it. She graduated at the top 15% of her class with honors.

Entering Starfleet Academy

After her graduation from the Vulcan Science Academy, Alana decided to pursue a career with Starfleet so she joined the Academy. She breezed through the science and counseling/psychology courses, but was extremely poor in the Engineering department. It was in that subject did she require the assistance of her friend, Makal Kora. She had a bit of trouble, socially, in the Academy, but found friendship with Makal and Horne Makra.

Medical Profile

Serpentai

Her experience with the Serpentai led her to a near death experience in 2379. As a result in the brief telepathic connection with this immensely powerful species, Alana’s abilities suffered a major blow to her barriers. It nearly wrecked her years of conditioning in controlling her gifts. She still suffers damage from the connection, but she has created new ways in dealing with the residual effects that are less conflicting as each year passes.

Pregnancy

Alana has been pregnant four times in her life.

The first (Unnamed) was by her genetic bondmate, Savek, which resulted in a miscarriage. This left scarring, emotionally and physically, in the young woman.

The second pregnancy (Keiran) would come years later after being involved in her best friend’s (Idril’s) Zhian'tara. Alana considers having taken the persona of the previous host and mother, Rumina Mar, during the ceremony prepared her body for motherhood. This may be a reason why she was so easily impregnated by a Trill man, though small medical assistance was needed through the duration of the inter-species pregnancy. The second pregnancy left Alana teetering between love interests and emotional/hormonal highs and lows (often affecting her judgement).

However, by the third pregnancy (Aelia), Alana did not experience these emotions. After giving birth to her second child, Alana has noticed a significant change in her abilities. They are not as incapacitating and have lessen in severity, though remain quite strong in a comfortable way. She believes that carrying hybrid children have allowed the psilosynine levels in her paracortex (the telepathic portion of a Betazoid’s brain) to normalize. This theory was later proven by doctors at the University of Betazed.

After having her fourth pregnancy, producing her second daughter, Halyna, Alana has become even more calm and able to manipulate and understand the gifts that she struggled with her entire life. She has found peace within herself and happiness in her family. There are ongoing studies at the University of her natural Betazoid gifts, and she is arguably one of the most talented Betazoids in recorded history.

Emotional Distress

Alana has a past of being an emotional woman behind a stoic front. However, she has developed in a calm and confident individual (due to motherhood, status, etc) over time. See her psychological profile for more information.

Family

Family History

Alana comes from a long line of Betazoid royal bloods, dating back generations upon generations. Her affairs with Starfleet help get the house's name out to the stars and other cultures. After Sumein's marriage to Satya, she has received all her house's powers and fortune. The fact was announced to her in late 2382 and was bittersweet; the ceremony took place in 2384.

Her title, following an elaborate Betazoid ceremony after her acceptance, has become Alana, The Divine Lady of Peace and Protection of the House Devar.
