Appearance

---

Aitas has black eyes and hair, her pale skin tinged slightly green from her Vulcan blood. The pointed tips of her ears are often hidden behind her long hair, which she often wears loose. Off-duty she tends to dress well, favoring clothing in black, white, or jewel tones, sometimes with intricate embroidery. At times she'll wear some small pieces of silver jewelry, mostly simple earrings and the occasional ring.

Personality

---

Aitas is a master of editing what parts of herself she shows depending on the situation a habit learned both as a way of fitting in despite being of mixed heritage and as a survival technique in her later experiences. Because of her past as a slave she tends toward being nervous around authority figures, while at the same time she strives to do everything she can to present herself in a way that ensures that she does not disappoint the same people for fear of punishment. Because she is so adept at masking her feelings and finds the sympathy of others unpleasant when it comes to her past, she has also become proficient at pretending that she is fine-which has made it more difficult for her to actually address her issues. She also has a notable tendency to downplay her skills and experience in most cases.

She also has an interest in traditional Vulcan meditation practices and this helps keep her mind keen and alert, along with helping to tamp down some of her negative emotions. These practices also help her to feel connected to her Vulcan heritage, as she has had far more experience with her mother's Betazoid culture-and the ways in which her telepathic abilities can't live up to it.

Relationships: Personal

---

Sakon Father A Vulcan Xenobiologist with a particular interest in large predators. He met Aitas' mother while studying the creatures of Betazed's jungles. Sakon often took Aitas with him on his research expeditions, and had a habit of buying her stuffed animals from wherever they visited. He was captured by a group of Orion slavers in 2374, and separated from Aitas in early 2375. Despite efforts on Aitas' part, she's never been able to determine what happened to him after that point. Perhaps one day she'll finally learn of his fate.

Jissela Igre Mother Jissela was a Betazoid martial arts instructor, specializing in the fighting style of Tassa’Akai. She met Sakon while serving as a guard on his expedition to Betazed's jungles. Jissela rarely traveled and was killed on Betazed during the Dominion attack on the planet in 2374.

Meassi Igre Maternal Grandmother Jissela's mother and the current family head, Meassi's relationship with Aitas has been strained at times. She once worked as a martial arts instructor, but currently focuses on the family's involvement in the Jalara Fire trade. That and seeking to arrange a proper marriage for her only grandchild.

Aslah Igre Maternal Grandfather A gentler sort than his wife, Ashlah tended to spoil Aitas when she was a child, even once sneaking her a taste of Jalara Fire. At one point he suffered from Zanthi Fever. While currently retired, he once worked in the field of Anthropology.

Jakarn Mentor/Friend The man who rescued Aitas from slavery in her youth, Jakarn is an El-Aurian author with a background in espionage and diplomacy. Aitas spent several years serving as his aide before she enrolled in Starfleet Academy.

Relationships: Professional

Sal Taybrim Commanding Officer Aitas' impression of her CO thus far is quite positive. She was surprised that he personally greeted her upon her assignment to the station, and that he shares her interest in various meditation practices. She just hopes her grandparents never meet him.

Theo Whittaker First Officer Thus far, much of Aitas' interactions with the XO have involved some off-duty meditation in the Ashalla district of Starbase 118. While she's enjoyed such interactions, only time will tell how they interact together on-duty.

Mirra Ezo Chief Medical Officer WIP

Antero Flynn Chief Helm Officer While her interactions with Flynn were quite brief, he struck Aitas as embodying all the best parts of Risian culture: friendly, welcoming, and with a good sense of humor. That she wouldn't mind a bit of Jamaharon with him on occasion doesn't hurt either.

Tyler Kelly Security Officer WIP

Diego Beyett Tactical Officer Lieutenant Beyett has shown a romantic interest in Aitas, though he seems to have difficulty admitting it. Aitas does enjoy his interest, though she cannot help but worry that cultural differences will prove problematic to such a relationship eventually.

Ishani Kasun Security Officer WIP

Taelon Science Officer Taelon is the son of Jakarn, Aitas' former mentor. She has promised to look out for the El-Aurian scientist's well-being, though that's beginning to seem a more intensive task than she first expected. She plans to start with ensuring he eats something other than coffee.
