==Stats==
'''Airseé Lily Ventu''' is Secretary of the Exterior for the United Federation of Planets. She is a member of President [[Narala]]'s Cabinet, a position she secured following her own unsuccessful bid for the presidency. However, she serves with pleasure in her role, which allows her to represent the Federation's diplomatic affairs in one of its highest offices.
* '''Full Name:''' Aresee Lily Ventu
* '''Species:''' Terran
* '''Date of Birth:''' May 24, 2352
* '''Place of Birth:''' Trondheim, Norway, Earth
* '''Age:''' 32
* '''Gender:''' Female
* '''Current Rank:''' Lieutenant Commander
* '''Current Assignment:''' USS Constitution-B
* '''Position:''' Second Officer


Aresee was born to Jarin Ventu and Matilda Tayler in 2352. Matilda had been warned earlier in her life that she carried a genetic marker that made neurochemical imbalance almost certain in any children she might have, and so the couple decided not to have children. Aresee was an accidental child and, even knowing the risks, the couple wanted a child and went ahead with the birth.  
Before serving as Secretary, she was one of the Federation's ambassadors-at-large for many years, and was responsible for a large amount of space to the galactic west of the Federation's presence in the Alpha Quadrant. She also served as a counselor and a diplomatic officer in the Federation's Starfleet in the 2380s.

===Pre-Starfleet===
* 235205.24 - Born in the Scandinavian region of Earth to Jarin and Matilda Ventu.
* 2355 - Aresee is first diagnosed with her classified 'chemical imbalance.' Although the disorder was treatable at birth, it is now something she must live with. Her parents start her on a daily round of medications and hypos.
* 2360 - At the age of 8, Aresee experiences her first violent mood swing while at school. Her medication is increased, and she is placed under the care of various counselors.
* 2368 - Aresee expressed the desire to become a counselor herself. Her mother, having recently retired from her merchant captaincy, suggests Starfleet as a possible career path.
* 2369 - Aresee fails her first entrance exam when she attempts it during her junior year. She decides to attend a counseling school on Earth.

* 2373 - During Aresee's junior year at the Academy, she decides to take a leave of absence for several reasons (coursework, etc etc etc)
* 2374 - Aresee borrows a family ship and strikes out on her own.
* 2376 - Two years hence, Aresee finds herself on the edge of Federation space, in the region known as the Borderlands. She finds herself drawn to the region.
* 2378 - Aresee spends two years in the Borderlands, making various contacts and enemies. During the end of her stay, she discovers a girl - Alexa, no last name - and, like her attraction to the Borderlands themselves, finds herself inexplicably drawn to the girl. She convinces her to come with her.
* 2379 - Aresee is chased out of the Borderlands by various enemies. She and Alexa return to Earth. Matilda and Jarin formally adopt the girl.
* 2380 - Aresee spends several months at home, reacclimating to the Federation standard of life and helping her new sister adjust. To her dismay, she finds that her mood swings have returned in full force.
* 2381 - Aresee returns to the Academy. She does an extra semester of catch-up.
* 2382 - Aresee graduates from the Academy.

Airseé Lily Ventu obtained advanced degrees in psychiatry and xenopsychology before applying to the Federation Starfleet for officer training. As an officer, she spent a large part of her career (up through the rank of lieutenant commander) as a counselor aboard the exploratory vessel {{USS|Victory}}. After a brief stint as a temporary command officer aboard the escort {{USS|Triumphant}}, Lily accepted a posting as a diplomatic officer aboard [[Starbase 118]], eventually attaining the rank of commander and brief overall command of the starbase's Starfleet operations. However, during a difficult situation on the colony world Beta Pictoris IV, Lily chose to resign her commission and negotiate the situation as a noncommissioned diplomat; and though Starfleet offered to reverse her resignation in the years that followed, she declined after she received an offer from the Federation Diplomatic Corps to serve as an official ambassador. She was later confirmed by the Office of the President as an ambassador and, three years later, as an ambassador-at-large serving Starbase 118 and its surrounding sectors, [[Trinity Sector|Trinity]], [[Serellan Sector|Serellan]], and [[Jenatris Cloud Sector|Jenatris Cloud]].


===Starfleet Career===
In 2389, Ambassador Ventu left her posting to campaign full time to be Earth's representative on the Federation Council. Her bid was ultimately unsuccessful, but she was further honored after its conclusion with an increase in her status as ambassador-at-large. She serves now as the roving ambassador to three dozen recently warp-capable worlds, as well as ambassador-on-call for the Cardassian Union, Talarian Republic, Breen Confederacy, and Tholian Assembly, should the the diplomatic missions to those major powers need assistance.


* 238208.15 - Aresee completes her final cadet cruise at Starbase 118.
Ambassador Ventu ran for the office of Federation President in 2392. Her campaign was based upon peaceful negotiations with the Federation's neighbors and an increased focus on diplomacy and exploration for the Starfleet. She ended in the middle of the road for the popular vote, but following the election of [[Narala]] to the presidency, the new president appointed Ventu to her Cabinet as Secretary of the Exterior.
* 238208.27 - Aresee is promoted to Ensign and assigned to U.S.S. Victory as counselor.
[[Image:Taredge.jpg|thumb|125px|A Taredge]]
* 238209 - 238212 - Assisted with the mission to Tanuga IV. Aresee worked with a triage unit on the surface, and was then captured and held hostage before being rescued by the Victory crew.
[[Image:Dennerme.png|thumb|125px|A Dennermé]]
* 238212 - 238301 - Following the Tanugan mission, Aresee spends a long period in technologically-induced resting periods, regaining her health.
====Awards & Accomplishments====
* 238301.17 - Aresee is promoted to Lieutenant J.G.
* 238301 - 238304 - Took part in the Celipenthia Station mission. Aresee is assigned to Alpha Team, along with Lt. Commander Julia Harden and Lt. J.G. Ben Hunnicutt. Alpha Team infiltrates the station, allowing their crewmembers aboard. During this mission, Aresee's mother, Matilda, interferes, jeopardizing the lives of the crew.
* 238304.05 - Back aboard the Victory, Aresee watches as her mother is kidnapped by a strange, unmanned device.
* 238304.27 - Following increased bouts of depression, Aresee relieves herself of duty.
* 238305.03 - Aresee receives a message from her mother, relaying that Matilda is safe and is living approximately two hundred years in the future. Aresee returns to active duty.
* 238305.16 - Aresee is promoted to Lieutenant.
* 238306.06 - During a shipwide systems malfunction, Aresee remains on the bridge. There is an energy overload, during which Captain Phoenix disappears. Aresee is temporarily placed in command.

* 238309.22 - While returning from her leave of absence, Aresee's runabout is attacked by an unknown vessel. With the starbase's help, the vessel is destroyed.
* 238310.28 - After embarking upon their next mission - escorting some Bajoran diplomats - Aresee receives a message from her mother than the next few days will be 'very important' to both her and the timeline.
* 238312.09 - Aresee is attacked aboard the Victory by unknown assailants, and subsequently phased out of temporal sync by a woman named Aurelie Trenet who purports to be 'on her side.'
* 238401.09 - Aresee, Aurlie, and Captain Robin Phoenix are taken by a race calling themselves the Collectors. With Aurelie's help, they are able to escape and return to the Victory. Aresee is phased back to normal.
* 238402.19 - Aresee is promoted to Lieutenant Commander.
* 238403.29 - The Victory is decommissioned. Aresee is posted to the U.S.S. Constitution-B as second officer.


As a field diplomat, she has been partially or solely responsible for about forty first contacts on behalf of the Federation, including with some advanced warp-capable species, including the [[Community]], the [[Senmeten]], the Taredge, and the Dennermé. She has been involved in Cardassian reconstruction in the decades following the Dominion War, and she has been allowed onto Breen -- though, if she has ever seen a Breen outside its encounter suit, she has been sworn to secrecy.
