Valesha Sienelis: Difference between revisions

|Fast friends for many years in the dreamscape of the Maquis Raider [[Sweet Dreams Are Made of This (Gorkon)|Skarbek]], they awoke to find that that had barely exchanged names in reality, their closeness there a simple result of physical proximity when they were sent to sleep. Unable to shake off the sense of loss that came with the absence of one another's company, they decided to see how a friendship would work for real. And work it did, the pair easily falling into the same rhythms they shared on the Skarbek, including keeping silent about the true nature of their feelings for one another. It was after a close brush with death that Valesha finally confessed her love, and was both delighted and relieved that it was reciprocated.

They were separated in the rush to board the refugee ships as the wavefront of the Hobus supernova approached Romulus. She has not seen him since, and after several years of searching, came to accept that he died on Romulus with so many others. This was until a chance conversation with [[Geoffrey Teller|Geoff Teller]] aboard the [[USS Juneau]], who revealed he had seen her brother on [[Ketar V]].

|It seems to Valesha that Caedan simply decided that one day they were friends, and that's how it's been ever since. His telepathic abilities are a frequent source of frustration and annoyance for her, but his easy-going and affectionate manner compensates, and she appreciates his care, company and advice. He has recently begun attempts to encourage her to socialise with his wider circle of friends, which she finds awkward and pleasing in equal amounts.

|A friendship born out of forced association rather than choice, Valesha began with an intense dislike of the elder Marshall [[Operation Sea Devil (Gorkon)|during their time as "fugitives"]], not least because of his actions in selling their exit from the Gorkon. Over time, she reluctantly grew fond of the man whose sarcasm equals her own, and while she's not sure if they're actually ''friends'', she would go out of her way to help him. While complaining. Constantly.

|Valesha and Geoff Teller first met aboard the [[USS Juneau]], when she walked into a vacant science lab to discover it had become an impromptu coffee house. One conversation later and he had revealed that her twin was likely still alive, earning her lifelong gratitude. Over the course of their tour on the Juneau, which involved a fair few games of poker, she grew fond of the enthusiastic engineer and considers him a friend.

|An odd friendship born out of a shared criminal act — that of stealing the [[USS Yarahla]] — Valesha and Walter Brunsig have kept in touch since. As neither is particularly given to calling the other up over subspace, this mostly occurs when he is visiting the Gorkon and usually over some kind of alcoholic beverage.

|Quinn Reynolds was one of the first Starfleet officers that Valesha encountered, and the one that left a significant impression upon her. The pair first met during the [[USS Drake|USS Drake's]] mission to escort a refugee caravan after the destruction of [[Hobus supernova|Romulus]]. After being convinced of Valesha's genuine desire to serve in Starfleet, Reynolds sponsored her entry to the academy, and they kept in touch during her student years and afterwards. When the Gorkon [[Annus_Horribilis_(Gorkon)|was declared lost]], it was her connection to Quinn that spurred Valesha's determination to see the ship rescued, whatever it took. It was a sentiment repaid years later, when Reynolds extricated her from false charges of treason, espionage and murder.
