Early Years
Talisa is the youngest of three children and was quickly recognized as what humans would call a ‘black sheep.’ She was born into an artistic family, her father was an Andorian Blues musician who also tutored children, while her mother was a locally celebrated ice sculptor with two pieces of work in exhibits off planet. All three of the Children where nurtured in various arts and encouraged to express themselves. Talisa enjoyed drawing as a child but was also interested in sports and more aggressive pursuits, at the age of seven her art teacher told her that her images were childish and ‘unfit for display’. While Talisa still enjoys ‘doodling’ privately she has never publicly shown any interest in art and after the discouraging incident with her art teacher she began playing with the Ushaan-tor (a miner's icepick and dueling weapon) to her parents dismay.
At the age of 9 Talisa’s uncle visited her household to celebrate her parents 20th anniversary, while there her uncle saw her playing with the Ushaan-tor, he noticed her enthusiasm but lack of skill begin to tutor her in fundamental techniques. Before his visit was up he told her tales of her great grandfather and grandmother who had served in the Andorian Defense Force and Imperial Guard. Excited by the stories and realizing that she had inherited the warrior spirit of her ancestors Talisa told her parents that she wanted to join the ADF as soon as she was "grown up". She continued with this insistence until at the age of 13 while Talisa learned about the all Andorian Crew of the USS Atlirith during a Federation history class. She instantly became obsessed with the ship’s legend and her focus switch from joining the ADF to joining the Federation. While in school she spent many hours reading the reports held in the School libraries of famous federation battles.
Talisa applied to join the Academy at the age of 19 but her application was rejected, while she passed all intelligence and aptitude tests she was informed that if she wanted to join the academy she would need to prove that she could study and apply herself academically before she would be considered. Depressed and uncertain of what to do, Talisa traveled for a year before moving to the colony of Korvat. The colony, officially part of the Klingon Empire was heavily influenced by Federation as well as Klingon culture was very liberating for Talisa. She enrolled herself in the 'Curzon Dax Institute of Culture & Learning,' studying there for three years she gain a degree in Modern Klingon History. While on Korvat she also tried to take up the Bat'leth but only to very moderate success, but engrossed herself in Klingon culture going as far as to dye her hair black and braid it.
