| Appearance
|
|
Alora stands just over average height for a woman, though barely. Wavy brown hair holds traces of red highlights and is usually kept at a length just past her shoulders. Large green eyes peer out from beneath thick eyelashes and full lips tend to settle upward in a natural half smile. Her voice is somewhere between an alto and a soprano, and her singing voice has a wide range. Her fingers are long and supple, her smile quick.

| Personality
|
|
Alora tends to be a pretty informal, down to earth person. She's formal when she has to be, particularly when dealing with higher ranked officers, but most of the time she's just...well, her. She loves children and board games, tends to be rather naive and sometimes seems
far too innocent for her age. She likes jokes but is bad at making them most of the time. Alora usually tries to look for the best in people and has a temper, though she does her best to keep it under control. When she is sure about something, though, she'll focus on it particularly hard, often times shutting out things around her until she's come to a conclusion or discovered something. She's not particularly brave, but she'll never abandon her post or her friends and she doesn't like to give up easily.

| History
|
|
Alora doesn't consider herself particularly special. She's just an average
person. She was born the youngest child of a French businessman and an
American citizen. They met in Virginia while her mother was attending
the opera and the two struck up a conversation during intermission.
A singer herself, Grace Martin had always aspired to perform on stage,
but had been told by a former teacher that while her voice was good
enough for teaching, it was not good enough for performance. This
judgment stamped out any hopes she might have had.
Two years after their meeting, Etienne proposed and Grace accepted. A
year later they had their first child then moved to Atlanta. Alora was
the fifth and only girl. She and each of her siblings inherited some
sort of musical talent, but Alora was the only one whose voice shone out
from the others. Her mother gave her lessons from the time she was
seven and encouraged her to get involved in theatre. She performed as
one of the daughters in the opera "Werther" when she was just five years
old. Besides singing lessons, she enjoyed piano and guitar lessons as well.
When Alora was ten, her father's business expanded its presence in the
nation state of Japan and appointed her father as the head. The family
packed up and moved halfway around the world to a strange and wondrous
place.
Grace had hoped that Alora would use her talent to continue her studies
in the musical arts. While Alora never stopped her lessons, she had
other passions as well, and didn't see herself as a professional
performer. Science was one such passion, particularly botany an
zoology. After taking exams for secondary school, Alora was accepted to
the Ishikawa School of Science and Technology, first in its class in Japan.
It was there that Alora discovered Aikido. She stumbled upon a group
practising one day after school. She had been looking for the Karate
group, but after witnessing that class she decided to study Aikido.
Currently she is a third degree blackbelt.
As her years of secondary school began to come to a close, Alora had to
decide what to do with herself. More and more she began to pay
attention to the Federation. Finally, she applied to the academy and
was accepted.
It was challenging. Alora wasn't a genius, but she was smart. She
graduated in the top three percent of her class - but a very large part
of that was due to her diligence, hard work, and unwillingness to give
up. That, and lack of sleep, especially since she specialised in Botany
and Zoology with a minor in languages. Summer break? What was that?
She kept busy outside of the academy too with her music and her Aikido
which left little time for other pursuits beyond those.
She managed to survive graduation and has found herself posted to a
starship and is excited to begin her career in the federation.

| Acquaintances
|
Asno Plito, Paramedic
She met him on DSX during her shore leave. To be honest, she has the feeling he was just hitting on her.
|
| Coworkers
|
Kotir Arith, Medical Officer
The first person Alora officially worked with. The two collaborated as they attempted to determine whether or not a sample DNA was from a Vulcan.
|
Aron Kells, Captain (or Cap'n)
He seems like a capable captain, but she's not so sure she agrees with his decision in regards to the Manthar situation. Still, he seems nice enough, and she likes the fact that he's not so formal when they are off duty.
|
Tato Zeme, Chief of Security & Tactical
Zeme was one of Alora's professors in the Academy. He left just a few months before she graduated. Imagine her surprise when she was assigned to the same ship - the USS Mercury
|
| Family
|
Etienne DeVeau, Successful Businessman
Alora's dearly loved papa. He's supported her decision to focus on a science career since she first indicated interest in it.
|
Grace DeVeau, Domestic Engineer
Grace always had high hopes for her daughter's music career. Unfortunately, Alora did not agree. A part of her still hopes that some day Alora might see the light.
|
Alain DeVeau, Successful Businessman
Alain was twelve when Alora was born. Of her brothers, he's the most fatherly toward her. While all of her brothers are protective, Alain is particularly so. He's followed in his father's footsteps and is now an up and coming Vice President within the same company.
|
Adrien DeVeau, Wild Thing
The wild child of the family, Adrien's never settled down and there are months where no one in his family hears from him. Like his other siblings, he has a soft spot for his baby sister, but he thinks she can be a little too goody-goody.
|
Alexandre DeVeau, Medical Officer
Alexandre is the only other child of the DeVeau's to have entered starfleet. He currently serves as a Medical Officer.
|
Aimé DeVeau, Artist
The quiet one of the bunch, Alphonse has always been the most timid. He is also the one Alora is closest to not only in age, but in their relationship.
