Personal History
- 235705.02 Born to Fenor and Meiyan Kenoi, artists, in Seinahn, an artist colony located on Eh'naan, an island in the Attraxan islands, Rodul.
- 237509.01 Entered the Dohrein Medical School, located on Eh'naan, in the Attraxan island chain on Rodul. Dohrein is generally considered to be one of the finest medical schools on Rodul. Along with traditional medicine, Dohrein also explores alternative healing techniques. The school's founder, Entarel Dohrein, a formidable physician in his own right, traveled extensively and incorporated healing techniques from many worlds into the curriculum including the holistic approach championed by Patch Adams (see [1].
- 237906.01 Graduated medical school and was accepted for medical residency at Dohrein Medical Center.
- 238009.01 Began medical residency at a respected hospital in the capital city. At the beginning of her residency, she was included on emergency response team after a massive earthquake leveled most of a city on a neighboring island. She worked tirelessly for days with the other rescue workers to help find and triage people trapped in the wreckage. She did as she was trained. Tuck everything personal behind a wall and do what was needed. Until she held a young girl's hand in the last moment's of her life; later, while showering, she watched the blood and grime swirl away down the drain and that was when it all caught up to her. She cried, as she had never cried before until the the hot water was all but gone.
- 238290.10 Finished medical residency.
- 238303.05 Traveled to Vulcan to study telepathic/mental disciplines under the guidance of a former patient, Saren, in preparation for Starfleet Academy. Saren, who lived in Vulcana Regar, taught Nienne how to manage her telepathy. Under his guidance, she learned meditation, how to build and maintain shields, and how to communicate telepathically without causing harm to the recipient.
- 238509.02 Enrolled in Starfleet Academy, San Francisco Bay area, Earth
- 239101.05 Graduated Starfleet Academy and traveled home to Rodul to spend a short while with her family
Seinahn Artists' Colony
Fenor Kenoi is the founder of the Seinahn Artists' Colony on Eh'naan and it was there, in the early days of managing the colony, that he met his life's mate, Meiyan. Fenor, an exceptional Basotile artist, believed in the purity of the art form and provided classes in technique to anyone who wanted to learn. Meiyan, on the other hand, wanted to explore a wide variety of art forms. As their relationship grew so did the idea that the colony could support both artistic visions. Starting from land that had been in Fenor's family for generations, the artists' colony provided a learning center and retreat for artists that needed time away from the workday world to focus on their art. The founding principles of the colony dictated that no artist would ever be turned away and that everyone contribute to the well-being of the community by sharing chores as needed. The original colony offered one room cabins with adjoining studios as well as a large community center in a rural environment.
Over time, ancillary services appeared, shopkeepers, restaurants, small inns, and the like, eventually achieving the status of town. Seinahn has over 60,000 residents. The shopping areas are filled with one of a kind boutiques, restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines, and a number of small inns, catering to artists and art-lovers alike.
Growing up in Seinahn
Kenoi grew up part of a large and loving family; from a very early age what she wanted most was to explore the stars, a profession that was largely frowned upon even in the free-thinking artistic community of Seinahn. When it was clear that she was drawn to medicine and to helping people, she was encouraged to attend the Dohrein Medical School in nearby Eh'naan. She went to medical school and finished her residency on her home world. During her residency in a busy hospital, life was settling into a rhythm and that should have been the end of it. Life defined. However, her early interest in exploration returned with a vengeance and she knew that she still wanted to explore the stars. More than that, she knew that she had to leave Rodul. She had to try.
Upon completion of her residency she traveled to Vulcan where she spent two years studying telepathic and mental disciplines. While there, she did some research and found Starfleet Academy. It wasn't until her application was accepted and her departure date set that she started telling people back home. Then, after many discussions and more than a few arguments with family and well-meaning friends, Kenoi traveled to Earth for her first real exposure to non-telepaths. While at the Academy, along with her medical studies, she minored in Science (Genetics and Nanotechnology) and took the command course.
