Relationship Status: Single
Parents: Isobel Ryce & Aquila Kiani

Taken at the inauguration of the Aquila Kiani Wildlife Sanctuary, at Tarola'n. Circa 2395.

Dr. Aquila Kinai
Birth Mother, Age 67 | Human

If Dr. Aquila Kiani had to be assigned an epitaph on her headstone, no man could argue against highlighting her ceaseless dedication to her profession. They would only be half right in doing so though, for despite her aloofness, there was a part of her that desperately wanted to be close to her family; and sometimes she was. She could be warm, kind and even loving at times, making these moments of vulnerably doubly cherished by those who loved her in turn - whether due to obligation or through some genuine unexplained fondness.

Aquila was born in Lahore, on Earth, but unlike most Terrans she was desperate to leave. She had always had a particular love for plant life, and when given the chance to train in Botany at the prestigious University of Betazed, she hopped on the first liner off-world. This would mark the beginning of a long and storied career in the field. Culminating in the synthesis of a novel strand of food crop varieties which were particularly resistant to a myriad of climatic conditions and would regularly guarantee high yields. The breakthrough resulted in a marked improvement in quality of life for colonists with limited access to energy. For her work Aquila has been awarded multiple commendations and honours from various institutions. But, the closest to her heart remains the renaming of the Exrenitii Conservatory in Tarola'n to the Aquila Kiani Wildlife Sanctuary.

Taken at cocktail party on Earth. Circa 2398.

Isobel Ryce
Mother, Age 41 | Centauran

In obvious contrast stood Isobel Royce, once a teacher aboard the USS Centris, now working as an independent artist and critic with her own studio. To Harry she'd started off as Miss Royce and somewhere down the line turned into a mother. It was obvious that she doted on the boy. Whenever he'd send a bauble or souvenir from wherever in the cosmos he'd decided to perch, it was to her that the messages were addressed. With an addendum attached inquiring about his mother's health, as any dutiful son must. It was she who stood by him when Harry announced his intention to join Starfleet, and it was from her that he'd inherit his love for holophotography. For outsiders, the pairing seemed bizarre, but on that count Harry had no doubts. Despite the numerous spats and disagreements, the duo had managed to form a silent partnership whose foundations never seemed to crumble.

-Harrison Kiani was born bearing the name Laime Pergalen on the auspicious day of the "Komunceco Vivo" (Communion with Life) , marking the end of winter and beginning of spring. Or at least that was what it said on his birth certificate. One that had been flagged by Starfleet Academy's Division of Health Sciences when applying for their Medical programme. The situation was quickly resolved, with the admissions office opting not to take the issue further once provided with correctly authenticated Federation documents noting the change. The memories of Leya-I still stuck to him, but they were just flashes of recognition now, hidden in the deep recesses of the mind. The scent of wood and wet grass, the spacious home highlighted with beige and gold accents, the lush green patio on which to run and be wild. But he was sure there had been no name other than "Harry" to respond to. Perhaps "Harrison" when he was in trouble, but not "Liam" or "Laime" or however it was meant to be pronounced.
-Aquila, his mother, had never spoken of her reasons for leaving; or what kind of man his father had been, let alone who he was. At first Harry resented that. He speculated about the various scenarios that led to them fleeing Leya-I, in some of which Aquila played the role of the villain. But as Harry got older, he'd come to realise that it was her story to tell, and maybe one day she would. Till then, he would have to appreciate the cards he'd was dealt and try to make the best of it.

-As a child, Harry moved around a lot. Aquila Kiani's life's work as a botanist had been in creating strands of resilient food crops - meant for colonies that couldn't afford the necessary energy required for replicators, especially when supporting a growing population. This had meant doing long stints in desolate systems with hardy folk trying to make a life for themselves. Sometimes they'd even hitch a ride with federation starships aiding some of those distant colonies. It was on one of these trips that they'd meet Isobel Ryce. She worked as a teacher aboard the USS Curie for the children of the families it carried. She taught arts and crafts, creative writing & mathematics, and since Harry came aboard they'd even let him attend the classes, like the other kids. They would remain on the USS Curie for a year, and when his mother announced to Harry that Miss Ryce and her were to be married, eyewitnesses weren't able to determine whether the child had been happier about the news than the blushing pair.
-After that, life became much more sedentary. They had relocated to Tarola'n, Alpha Centauri IV, Isobel's home. Harry's love for painting and holo-photography he would readily admit were inherited from her during his time there, although he confessed no real skill in either craft. When he was eighteen, Harry announced that he'd decided to join Starfleet and that he was going to sit for the Academy Entrance Exam that year. He could see that it was a bitter pill to swallow for both of his parents; the pressures and dangers of being a Starfleet officer were well known, and it did not leave much time for family. But they put on brave faces, and swelled with happiness when he'd cleared the examination.
-When Harry was back in Tarola'n for Summer break, just before he'd have to start his clinical rotations, they'd decided to throw a little get together of friends and family in appreciation of all he'd achieved. At dinner that day, his mother told a story about when Harry was twelve. It was one she'd liked to recount often. His parents had decided to sit him down and ask what he wanted to be when he grew up. A doctor Harry answered. When asked why, he'd say with a face that was as serious and as sage as a twelve year old's could be, that he "wanted to make people feel okay." There was a gleam of pride in her eye whenever she told that story, and Harry knew she thought the world of him. He could only hope that he managed to live up to it.
