Mother, Betazed, Medara
Tesslana works currently for the Peacekeepers on Betazed, having served as a Saboteur in the Dominion War during Betazed’s occupation, and dedicating herself to the planet’s safety. Her history in the War is something she rarely talks about and is in denial it changed anything about her, but Sevantha strong believes her mother has never left the war. |

Due to her experience with handling large scale tragedies and loss, the usually introverted Sevantha has stepped up to try to help everyone adapt. Her sense of personal responsibility has been amplified as she watches a number of people experiencing the sense of loss she is all too familiar with. Having achieved one of her goals in Starfleet already has left her with an odd sense of renewed hope and questioning of fate as she moves forward. She is still introverted by nature but seems much more willing to reach out to people and open up though she doesn't really like to explain why. | Due to her experience with handling large scale tragedies and loss, the usually introverted Sevantha has stepped up to try to help everyone adapt.

Sevantha's quarters are kept relatively minimalistic having just transferred from the USS Astraeus and not being able to transport her seahorse tank across space. She has a small corner of her living dedicated to a meditation corner which as sevaral ground pillows for herself and guests to sit on as well as a holographic waterfall that runs from an projector on the ceiling to one placed in the corner to illuminate a small patch of the flooring similar to the one she has in her office but smaller. She also has small one on her coffee table that turns that patch of the ceiling into the night sky on Betazed. | |||

* | * '''237402.20''' or '''February 20th''', Sevantha Saa was born to Tesslana Saa and her partner Peirse Saa in the city of Ohmallera on Betazed. The Saa family being generational vassels to the Seventh House of Betazed meant that being the only daughter, the pair having her brother Velaan fives years earlier, Sevantha inherited all the expectation and weight of her mother's ambition. | ||
* | |||
* | * Only a few months after her birth, Betazed would be occupied but the Jem'Hadar forces belonging to the Dominion. Sevantha's mother would decided to participate in the resistance led by the Fifth House. Leaving Sevantha and Velaan with Peirse to protect, she'd go underground until Betazed was liberated, and returned home a different woman. Sevantha would never know the mother who wasn't looking over her shoulder, who wasn't planning every of her children's lives, or the woman who's protective nature was guided by love more so than fear. | ||
* '''2378''' at age 4, Sevantha's empathic and telepathic abilities developed. These manifested as Sevantha beginning to take on the emotions of those around her, causing confusion in recognizing her emotions from others. Due to her father's tendency to use psychic communication, Sevantha's verbal development regressed completely, and she would only reply telepathically. Due to her early develoment she was enrolled in specialized training and speech therapy. Her mother would enroll her in Tassa'Akai alongside her brother to help develop control and study early meditation. | |||
* | |||
* In 2388, | * '''2381''' at age 7, she would be enrolled in alternative school with other children like herself that needed special assitance with her abilities. Here she would befriend Romi Unaa, daughter of a family in service to the Fourth House and Atrios Taile, a non-house child who had developed his gifts even earlier than Sevantha. The families of the three children would decided to make an arrangement to declare all three bonded. Sevantha and Romi due to their status in service to the Houses and Atrios's psychic potential. None of the children understood and just enjoyed being permitted to play together. | ||
* | |||
* | * In '''2388''', when Sevantha was 14, Ohmallera would be destroyed by the hijacked [[USS Constitution-B]]. Tesslana and Peirse had taken Sevantha to Lake Cataria for vacation while Velaan chose to stay behind to finish his application for medical school. They were in transit when the impact happened and arrived to find the city in fresh ruins. On the ground, Sevantha would escape her parents an make her way into her old neighborhood only to find her house destroyed. Due to loud telepathic calls to her brothers, Starfleet Marines were capable of finding her before she got hurt. She, however, did not cooperate in her hysterics and telepathically lashed out at one of the marines. They were given no choice but to use a high dosage neural supresssent on her an see to her hospitalization that caused her to suffer nearly a week without her gifts. | ||
* For 6 months, Sevantha was committed to the University of Betazed in Medara's psychiatric and telepathic care unit along with several other children who had similar reactions to the tragedy. Having lost her brothers and friends, the temporary loss of her powers, Sevantha's trauma manifested as selective mutism. Initially she completely shutdown and refused to respond, but with help of a devoted team of specialists and her father's very attentive visitation, she would make a full recovery and return to regular society. | |||
* '''2389''' the Saa family would permanently relocate to Medara despite the reconstruction of Ohmallera. Tesslana would take a new position in the peacekeepers for planetary security, while Peirse continued to live the very cozy life of a house husband. | |||

Due to her double minor she did not take summer breaks. Tesslana believed Sevantha was just in attendence of the University of Betazed, something Sevantha made no effort to correct, and avoided her actively to keep her from discovering. | ||

* | * '''2396''' at age 23, she applied for Starfleet Medical Academy on Earth. Sevantha would reveal this fact to her parents much to their surprise and her mother's protest.

* <big>'''240106''' - The Prelude to Frontier Day (Phase I)</big> | |||
Sevantha Saa was onboard the USS Astraeus on its course to return to Sol System when they retrieve new orders to pursue the USS ''Titan.'' Acting Chief Medical Officer [[Sylvie Doucet]] ordered Dr. [[Kris Fianna]] and Sevantha to go over the medical profiles of all members of the Titan to find possible medical reasons for the unusual activity. During this Dr. Doucet reveals that Picard and Riker are reported to be onboard the Titan. | |||
An explosion in Operations on Deck 5 calls all medical staff into action. With high levels of theta radiation the doctors inoculate themselves and head in to recover Lt. Commander and Chief of Operations [[Esa Kiax]], Lt. Commander [[Lael Rosek-Skyfire]], Lt. [[Wyatt Ral]], and Lt. [[Neshala]]. Guided via telepathic messages from Lt. Ral, Sevantha learns his suspicion of sabotage and uses their link to help locate the team. Once they were stabilized the officers were transported to Sickbay. Lt. Commander Kiax would be rushed into emergency surgery in effort to save both the Kiax symbiont and host with Dr. Doucet while Dr. Fianna would be called to the bridge to tend to Captain [[Mei'konda]] after an attempt on his life. Sevantha would be left to continue treatment of the rest of the affected staff. | |||
Sevantha while on duty would receive an urgent telepathic message for help from Lt. Ral. When she arrived, she discovered two Wyatt Rals and a dead guard. She urges the nurses to tend to the officers while she chases after the Changeling whom they suspect is after Lt. Commander Kiax. When she arrives at the surgery, she finds Dr. Doucet had used the piece of metal defend herself, killing the Changeling. Sevantha would take over the surgery to allow Dr. Doucet to recover. | |||
* <big>'''240107''' - The Fleet Celebration (Phase II)</big> | |||
Following multiple assassination attempts, Sevantha was called to the Captain's Ready Room alongside of many members of the crew to discuss a plan. Captain Mei'konda revealed his suspicion regarding the fleet. He publically tasks Dr. Doucet and First Officer Serala to steal the [[USS Chin'toka]] with volunteers from other crews to assist after asking Lt. Commander Kiax to use Fleet Commander Wolf's codes to obtain it. | |||
Sevantha and Gwen'ora are tasked with doing an autopsy on the deceased Changeling. Shortly into the autopsy Gwen'ora is summoned to the bridge leaving Sevantha alone in the labs. Once finishing the autopsy the ship goes into red alert. Concerned she looks for anyone near the labs to inquire whats happening. She finds [[Timothy Alentonis]] and [[Slav Shewytch]] duck into the astronomy lab until Wyatt Ral arrives to inform them of Dr. Fianna's transformation into the Borg and sickbay's hostile takeover. Knowing they needed to regain control of sickbay, Sevantha ventures into the jefferie's tube to sneak past the borg. | |||
When she arrives in Sickbay she activates emergency medical hologram [[Mark IV]] for assistance. The assimilated bynar 000 appeared along with the body of Lt. [[Charles Matthews]] and Sevantha made an attempt to rend them free of the Borg Queen only to fail. Once Mark IV dropped a containment field over 000, Sevantha rushed to say Lt. Matthews only to find no sign of vitals. She begin trying to revive the Lieutenant and uses her telepathy to attempt to stimulate brain activity to prolong his fighting chance. Matthew awakens and is called back to the bridge and Sevantha requests Security Ensign [[Divya Tam]] assist with maintaining sickbay. Slav arrives to assist with helping understand the assimilation process. | |||
Sickbay begins taking on patients from Starbase 1 and the two discover a changeling hidden in the refugees. Using a containment field, they inadvertantly split the changeling into two, and they take the shape of an angry child and begin causing chaos. Sevantha assists with containing the second changeling while talking with their captured piece. She learns the Changelings blame Starfleet, bringing her to question what inspired the retaliation and violence, but informs the Changeling that destruction can be a very unifying factor and Starfleet will not fall easily. Through interrogation Sevantha also learns the transporters were sabotaged by the Changelings for the Borg using bioorganic genetic modifcations. | |||
The rest of Frontier Day would be spent in Sickbay. [[Christopher Caldwell]] would arrive from Starbase 1 nearly dead. The entire medical staff is stretch thin and the Astraeus makes it out of Frontier Day with 103 casualties. | |||
Sevantha is left questioning what will happen to the Changelings and if this will only continue the cycle of violence in the future. She also is left trying to understand the long term ramifications of the crew's exposure to the Borg and her own psychic entanglement with it. | |||
