Lt. Cmdr. Rune Jolara, an Al-Leyan, is currently assigned as Ship's Counselor aboard the USS Blackwell/Andaris Task Force.
Growing up in a strict and conservative society, Rune always tried to conform and follow what had been determined to be her "Branch". However, as hard as she tried to fight it, she was still different. That difference was frowned upon by other Al-Leyans. When she was 16 she was forced to undergo "Attitude Readjustment Treatment," or so she thought that's what it was. Now, in Starfleet, she is faced with many challenges, one of which is breaking completely away from her people and their beliefs. Not an easy task when someone else has other plans for her life and will stop at nothing to get her to return home.

Friends
|
Friend: Chief Science Officer - Duronis II Embassy Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea and Rune have what could be considered a love/hate friendship. T'Lea is one of the few people Rune trusts completely and she's the only one who knows about the Attitude Readjustment Therapy Rune was forced to have when she was 16. Having been invited to T'Lea's wedding to Ambassador Della Vetri, Rune used the opportunity to give T'Lea a data chip in the form of a pendant. The data chip is Rune's insurance policy against her mentor. However, neither women know the full content of the data chip or the damage that could be done if the information is revealed.[1] During a mission, The Unturned Stone, their friendship took a turn for the worse when under the control of ancient lovers they slept together. This was the catalyst for the separation of T'Lea and Della. Naturally, T'Lea blamed Rune. In an odd turn of events, T'Lea found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time again and was forced to deliver Rune's baby, Krystyan.[2][3] |
|
Friend: Chief Counselor - USS Veritas Lt. Cmdr. Raissa Moonsong and Rune's friendship developed slowly. At first, Rune purposely kept distant. But following a series of traumatic experiences which awakened her telepathic ability, Rune subconsciously reached for Raissa's stability and control. In doing so, they formed a connection.[4][5] Following an especially trying mission which involved being swept back in time, several of the Invicta crew were reassigned or given the option to take a six month leave. During her leave, Rune visited Raissa at her family farm on Earth. There Rune helped her friend through an emotionally low time even though, or perhaps because she, herself, was running from her own emotional demons following the loss of her fiancé. It was also on that visit that Rune asked Raissa to be the godmother of her son, Krystyan.[6][7] |
Romantic Relations
|
Special Note: Al-Leyans don't usually pursue romantic relationships unless they are going through what is called seasons roughly every 4-5 years, generally lasting 4-8 days. may have one or several mates in one season and may have different mates from season to season and may not even keep in touch with a mate after the season ends unless conception occurs. As they mature they learn the value of companionship and many settle down with a mate and the companionship can last anywhere between a few years to the rest of their natural lives. |

Ex: Medical Officer aboard USS Veritas Rune had been struggling with the idea of having a relationship with Dr. Nikki Ryan. Her hesitation stemmed from the fact that her attraction to women and mating outside her race (species) is strictly forbidden in Al-Leyan society. Even though she has broken ties with her people, she still struggles with allowing herself to actually be free to live the way she wants. Things got rather complicated when Rune began experiencing an early on-set of season*, which was somehow triggered by having a foreign compound or hormone injected into her system. The compound was discovered by Nikki and Dr. Anen Sonbef. However, Nikki's involvement was against Rune's wishes. Feeling that Nikki overstepped her bounds, Rune ended their friendship/relationship. Though they have since resumed a cautious friendship. |
|
Fiancée/Bonded: Deceased With her friendship with Nikki ended, Rune had no one else to turn to for help. That was until Lt. Cmdr. Collim Kieran came to talk to her after noticing that something was wrong. Rune confided in her and Kieran offered to help, no strings attached... [8] A couple months later, things got even more complicated (if that's even possible). Rune found out she was pregnant... how, who and why is still unknown, though Rune has her suspicions. Upon finding out about the pregnancy, Kieran unexpectedly proposed to Rune... Rune accepted.[9] [10] Shortly after Krystyan's birth and before she had the opportunity to see him, Kieran was murdered. With the help of Kieran's sister, Denari, Rune discovered Kieran's murderer was her Haemachuo sibling, Jendar Tellinn.[11][12][13][14] |

Being a conservative and practical race and as a result of only mating every few years, Al-Leyans do not value same sex pairings. They consider the purpose of the seasons and mating to be to produce offspring. For similar reasons contraception is prohibited. Al-Leyan females are brought up to believe that carrying children is natural and good, it is something to enjoy and look forward to. With babies being taken from parents at birth it could be said that having children has a minimal impact on the Al-Leyan mother’s life and branch progression. If someone falls out of line and doesn't follow this or other laws or behavioral policies established in the Fallen Branch, efforts would be made by friends, family and advisors or mentors to make such a person see reason. If they refuse to mend their way of thinking then they would have to have attitude readjustment therapy (or reconditioning) to correct the problem. |
And that's where Rune's problem comes in... she is attracted to women, not men. She's never acted on it but just having the attraction is a no no in Al-Leyan society. So when she first confided in her mentor, 10 years ago she underwent what was suppose to be attitude readjustment therapy. However, during an away mission, Strange Acquaintances she was exposed to a hallucinogenic compound which caused a break down of what was actually done to her. Through flashbacks and returning memories, she realized the therapy was far more than normal, though she has yet to discover everything that was done or the real reason why it was done to her.
Once her memories came back, she confronted her mentor who, in turn, demanded she return home to undergo the therapy again. Rune refused and cut off communication with her homeworld. The problem now is, she's terrified of the Al-Leyans Council will send someone for her and force her to have the therapy.
