	Personality

Sevantha is a fairly quiet, reserved and professional individual when people first meet her. Her image is carefully cultivated, she thinks before she speaks, but like most culturally raised betazoids she is honest to a point that seems rude to most cultures. Still most people will find it rare to see Sevantha expressing herself freely, a precaution that comes with Sevantha’s struggle to stop her abilities from permeating any environment she is within. It’s all too easy for her to feel the emotions of others and take them onto herself. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t like to be around others, in fact she rather enjoys feeling the joy of others but has been fairly cautious due to the events of Ohmallera’s destruction which caused a cultural grief that left her developmentally regressive for much of her youth.

When Sevantha does open up, she is curious, inquisitive, and likes belonging to a group. As infectious as others emotions can be, her joy or grief are some of her strongest projections. As a doctor she is dedicated, caring, and determined. In her sport hobbies she can be even a little competitive. It takes time to get her to open up but when she does, she’s a good friend to those around her, even if it’s difficult for her to verbalize it. She actually prefers talking telepathically to those she is close to due to she finds herself more articulate in her mind then when she tries to speak.

Manners

---

• Quarters::Sevan's space is rather minimalistic currently and is kept relatively clean. Her space is shared with Gwen'ora Tasen as they're both Ensigns. Plants of Gwen's collection have inevitably invaded her side of the room which she has little complaints of. There are some Betazed homeages in the room, primarily imagery of flowing waterfalls with sounds often filling the room to help her meditate with incense and candles, which unintentionally enhances the naturalistic aspect of the room.
• Favourite Room: On the Astraeus Sevantha is very fond of trying to schedule time on the Holodeck, she has a program of a meditation garden with waterfalls and a starry night sky above where she loves to just relax in.
• Temperament: Sevantha is quiet, unobtrusive most of the time, and speaks softly even when she is mad or annoyed, she tries to present intentionally neutral in tone until she warms-up to people in which she is more comfortable being more expressive of her emotions.
• Mannerisms: Sevantha stands with her hands clasped infront of her, she struggles with eye contact with strangers when speaking but if she is comfortable will focus heavily on that individual due to how her focus affects how potent her telepathy is.
• Habits: Sevantha sometimes stares distantly while listening or feeling the emotions of those around her.
• Favourite time of Day: Night Time, she loves the colors of the skies and stars when there is no light pollution blocking them out.
• Favourite Food: A hybridization of Kimden Rolls with the Terran food Kolaches. She loves blended Betazed and Terran foods. Breakfast is her favorite meal time.
• Favorite Drink: Jestral Tea and Raktajinos

Hobbies

---

• Dancing: She has long enjoyed dance as a personal hobby, she does not enjoy performative, she just enjoys moving to music as it helps her mind relax and sharing the experience mentally with others she finds a satisfying intimate experience.
• Martial Arts: Sevantha is a well studied practitioner of Betazoid Martial Arts, specifically Tassa'Akai, having used it to develop discipline for her abilities. She has interest in learning more and likes to take up anything that allows her to practice with actual partners and not holodeck studies.
• Meditation: As an important part of Betazoid culture, Sevantha enjoys exploring other cultures' traditions of Meditation. She has recently started delving into Vulcan methodology after recommendation of a Lorian, a Vulcan Security Officer, who she worked with during her intern rotations.
• Movies: Attending the academy on Terra Sevantha was exposed to the more narrative style of story-telling movies offer. She enjoys anything with martials arts involved or detective stories or actions movies, but doesn't like movies that conjure lots of emotions due to she likes turning her mind off.
• Music: She is a fan of soothing music and sounds, they help her relax and keep her emotions in check. The hobby tends to mix her enjoyment of dancing and meditation.
• People: Her predestined path was to be a counselor and even though she was unable to pursue it, understading people is something that has never left her heart despite her struggle with her overactive empathy many people find invasive. Understanding how they work, they think, sharing experiences is important to her as a Betazoid despite her more anti-social nature.
• Studying: Sevantha is a forever student type, she loves reading, she loves studying, investigating things she doesn't understand. Her favorite subjects of interest being Xenobiology, Neuroscience, and Xenoarcheology. If she has a chance to learn from someone more skilled in the field she happily takes the opportunity to hear them out.

	Chronological History

• Born in February of 2374, Sevantha was born on Betazed, in the city of Ohmallera, the Saa family worked in service to the Seventh House but not part of the noble class. She would be the second child of the coupling, her older brother, Velaan being five years her senior.
• 2374 the Dominion launch an assault and occupy Betazed for four months.
• At age 5, Sevantha’s empathy and empathic projection abilities would begin developing, which began to cause confusion early on in the childhood as she was unable to discern her own emotions from others. Her parents believed this meant she was bound to be a wonderful consoler in the future.
• . Sevantha was enrolled in formal training to help develop her ability alongside of developing her emotional intelligence, like many Betazoids she develops an introverted and somewhat shy personality.
• Tesslana has Sevantha join her brother in T’assaAkai study to help her learn to focus her mind before she enters proper schooling.
• . Age seven she entered an alternative schooling with other children who developed their abilities young for specialized attention development. Here she met Romi Unaa, a child of a family in service to the Fourth House, and Atrios Taile, a non-house child who would become her best friends and both her first crushes.
• In 2388, at age 13, Sevantha and her parents depart Ohmellera for a small vacation while her brother stays behind to complete his med-school application, he is amongst the casualties in the 1.2 Million along with her school mates. The collective grief of her parents, herself, and her community caused an emotional regression and brief issues in her developing telepathy.
• The family would relocate to Medara where she would continue with more intensive focus and influences to help her gain better control of her talents, as well find a new purpose for her parents to hope for. Sevantha would be socially reclusive during the remainder of her schooling, working only with her mentors to curb her abilities.
• . Sevantha would eventually recover, though she’d remain introverted, somewhat socially awkward and always trying to parse through the ‘noise’ of the world around her and not let her emotions inadvertently influence it.. She would take up her brother's path having felt like she lost her own, applying and pursuing a Pre-Medicine degree at the University of Betazed in Medara. Her specialty is biology.
• Sevantha takes an extra year of courses for a minor in Genetics
• At age 23, she would proactively apply to enter Starfleet Medical Academy to the surprise of her parents, Sevantha would never explain her decision and chose to attend the Academy on Terra to have exposure to more cultures than just her own, a place where not everyone was aware of her emotional turmoil or at time special needs.
• At age 25, she would enter clinical rotations within the Medical Academy, her chosen electives of interest were further Neuroscience to understand her own mind's development and further Aerospace Medicine studies due to her desire to work on a ship.
• Age 27 in 2401, Sevantha entered her final exam with several fellow Cadets

	Relationships

			Family ⮟

Mother, Betazed, Medara Born as a 6th generation vassal of the 7th House, Tesslana Saa is someone who holds the establishment of the Houses in high regard and places a great deal of importance on the role her family has served to the 7th house. Like her mother before her, she has methodically planned the continuation of her line, and planned the lives out of her children. Sevantha and her mother have a strained relationship, Tesslana’s attempt to create invaluable resources to the 7th House have fallen through with the loss of her son and Sevantha’s joining Starfleet. Even at a distance, Tesslana tries to gather what information she can on her daughter, much to Sevantha’s dismay. Sevantha wants to keep distance as long as she possibly can to avoid the weight of expectation falling onto her shoulders, expectations she has never wanted nor intends to follow.

Father, Betazed, Medara Peirse is a lucky man who won the genetic lottery. Born to parents with no status, his excessive neurotransmitters allowed him to develop telepathic and empathic gifts that made him in high demand. Caught up in the game of the Houses, eventually, he climbed his way into the top suitors of 7th House vassal Tesslana Saa. He has lived the easy life with his wife and he is smarter than to question her will. Still he’s not entirely heartless and that’s evident in his fondness for his children. When Sevantha developed her abilities early, he was the one who sat with her when she had to be institutionalized, as he believes it was his genetics that caused her issues. Sevan has a fondness for her father though is frustrated by his cowardice in front of her mother, but understands men are at the bottom of hierarchy in her culture. As his only surviving child, as of late he’s taken more fondness for Sevantha, but has to sometimes hide his favoritism from his wife or will attempt to charm her down from more extreme points of action.

Brother, Betazed, Deceased Sevantha’s older brother, first child of Tesslana and Peirse, and at one point Sevan’s closest companion. It was rare the two ever verbally spoke to one another, strictly communicating in one another’s minds, often to the point they’d get chided for being rude. Despite their age gap, Velaan was Sevantha’s partner in crime. As a male, he didn’t bear the weight of the family like Sevantha did and decided to pursue being a Doctor to avoid the mess of the Houses. When his family went on vacation, he decided to stay back in Ohmallera to finish his application process and interviews for schooling. This decision led to him becoming one of the 1.2 million victims of the USS Constitution-B hijacking. Sevantha was devastated by her brother’s loss.

			Friend ⮟

Dear Friend - Roommate, USS Astraeus The two initially met in their final exam at Starbase 118 and reunited in a roundabout on the way to the USS Astraeus at the tail end of a shoreleave. Sevantha and Gwen ended up assigned to the same quarters which kept Sevan from entirely isolating herself as introverted as she is, because Gwen is an extrovert. Their opposite personalities bring a nice balance to their environment. The Ba’Ku’s curiosity about other cultures has also allowed Sevantha to communicate telepathically with her regularly, which has created a comfortable environment for her to settle into. Much like with her brother, Sevan has a habit of talking telepathically to Gwen’ora even when outside the room, which she has to remind herself is rude in regular company. Plus Gwen has been trusted with a few aspects of her history that Sevan is particular embarrassed about speaking of. Character Page: Gwen’ora Tasen

Ex - Fiance, USS T’Kumbra A half-Vulcan Security Officer working out of Starfleet Academy for a time after putting in a request to be close to his human father’s home. Sevantha and him met on field medicine training with him serving as her escort on multiple occasions. Due to their telepathic abilities, the two were fascinated by one another, and eventually formed a deep friendship turned romantic. Lorian proposed to Sevantha before receiving approval from his parents. His mother remarried on Vulcan to a far more traditionalist instructor at the Vulcan Science Academy and after a return home, Lorian found himself struggling with acceptance for his human self or embracing logic fully that Sevantha was an unfortunate threat to with her empathic connection to him. The final straw would come with his step-father arranging a marriage with a fellow professor’s daughter, T’Vel, a skilled engineer on board the T’Kumbra. Lorian torn between parents and Sevantha, made what he deemed the logical choice, and broke the engagement off with Sevantha to appease his parents as well as requesting a transfer to the USS T’Kumbra to prove his dedication. He broke Sevantha’s heart, she wants to be angry with him, despite his efforts to remain friends. She still cares about him and his happiness but she’s still too raw from their break-up.
