Family
- Mother:Larien D'Sani, Daughter of the Eighth House of Betazed, Holder of the Sacred Scrolls of Saraswati, Heir to the High Priestesses of Betazed. Her mother was born in the Capital City of Betazed, the daughter of Lord Evron and Lady Mai D'Sani. While growing up, Larien was exposed to many different elements of Betazoid society. Her father was a telepathic healer, and her mother a teacher. Larien decided at an early age to combine both of these elements and teach psychology. She studied both on Betazoid, and then had the opportunity to train at the Vulcan Science Academy. It was there that Larien met her future husband, Stelin of Vulcan. Larien holds advanced degrees in Psychology and Psychoneurology, and is the author of several books on both subjects. Larien was appointed an ambassador from Betazed several years ago, so she curtailed her teaching duties and now lectures sporadically at several different universities, as her ambassadorial committments permit.
- Father: While born into a powerful Vulcan family, Stelin, of the Family Neh'Chalick, had always felt a calling to teach. He was taught at an early age to respect the powerful philosophies of Surak, and other Vulcan philsophers. At a very young age, he developed a love of philosophy and soon began to study not only the great Vulcan writers, but also the philosophies of other worlds. Stelin continued this love and developed it into a passion that he would study at great lengths at University, evenutally earning a doctorate degree. Part of his attraction to his future wife, Larien D'Sani, came from his interest in other worlds, and her passion about his. While deciding to live on Betazed after his marriage, Stelin still keeps healthy ties to his home world, making frequent visits and teaching at the Vulcan Academy a few times every year. Stelin also helps in T'Lara's duties as head of house, which she inherited upon the death of her name-sake great-grandmother.
- Sisters: Tatiana and Anastasia. T'Lara's twin sisters recently graduated from the University of Betazed with Masters Degrees. Tatiana was a student of diplomatic studies, while Anastasia earned her degree in political science. While Tatiana is pursuing a position within Starfleet Dipolomatics, her twin is continuing on to law school, where she plans on studying Intergalatic Law, with hopes of serving Starfleet in the JAG office.
- Daughter: T'Larien Graves. T'Larien is T'Lara's daughter by former Starfleet officer John Graves. T'Larien currently resides on Betazed with her grandparents. She and her twin brother, John, are close to graduating from high school. T'Larien has decided to pursue a career in the arts, and as such, included music eduation, acting and vocal lessons in her studies. She is also an artist, specializing in holographic sculpture and oil painting.
- Son John Graves Jr. John is T'Lara's son by former Starfleet officer John Graves. John Jr. lives with his sister at his grandparent's home on Betazed, and is very close to graduating from a gifted and talented High School, where he specialized in math and sciences. After college, he would like to work for Starfleet, designing the next generation of spaceships and also working on improvements to Warp technology.
