Personality

Sakorra is difficult to analyze. One minute, she may be smiling and laughing, having a good time and conversation with you. The next, she may act as though she hardly knows you and you didn't just have this great conversation. She is extremely dedicated to her position onboard the Triumphant and very loyal to her crewmates. Sometimes, she is cooly aloof, sometimes unforgivingly blunt and hot-tempered, and still other times, she is friendly and sweet-tempered. Her personality is a bit hard to pin down.

Ambitions and Goals

Reed's most fervent goal is to find her missing adoptive father. Missing for nearly 20 years, she holds hope of finding Michael Reed, but a new lead has given her cause to believe that she will not find him.

Personal Achievements and Disappointments

Sakorra is happy with the adjustment she has made to her biological Vulcan genetics. Growing up human was difficult, and though the transformation back to her Vulcan self and the journey she has gone through in recent years has been hard, Sakorra feels that she is more herself now. Her disappointment, though, is the belief she has that she is responsible for her husband's recent mental illness. She believes that her own mental troubles caused unnecessary strain on him. In addition, he decided to go the way of the Kohlinaru and became an initiate. He was successful in the program and emerged even less in touch with his emotions than he already was. Sakorra, having little training in emotion suppression, feels things keenly, and this has caused no little amount of estrangement between the bonded couple.

Parents

Sakorra's biological mother, T'Prehr, was an operative for the reunification effort on Romulus. Sakorra remembers very little about her mother. The last time she saw her was when she was three years old. She learned recently that her mother's shuttle was destroyed by a Romulan warship commander only twelve hours after Sakorra was genetically altered to appear as though she was Michael and Denara Reed's biological child.

Sakorra's biological father, Saavok, was in the same destroyed shuttle as his wife. He was also an operative for the reunification effort. It is believed that Saavok and his wife may have become unstable in the last months of their life, leading to the irrational decision to alter their daughter's genetics after an attempt on her life.

Sakorra's adoptive father, Michael Reed, became the captain of the USS Fury. His wife, Denara Reed, had taken the children back to Earth to live with their grandparents when his ship went missing. It is presumed that it was last seen near Romulus and that it had defected from Starfleet orders. Michael loved the child Sakorra. He renamed her Jefferson, and though his wife often begged him to return the child to Vulcan, Michael refused.

Sakorra's adoptive mother, Admiral Denara Reed, is an instructor at Starfleet Academy. Over the years, she grew to hate Sakorra. She believed that Sakorra would eventually cause them their deaths. After her husband's disappearance, her hatred grew, and Sakorra ended up living with her grandparents permanantly. Denara constantly belittled her. Denara has recently undergone a court martial for her actions in Sakorra's genetic tampering.

Siblings

Adoptive brother: Lt. Lincoln Reed, DS9. Lincoln recently lost his fiance in an attack on Trill. He hasn't been the same since, and he has been passed over for promotion because of dissatisfactory service.

Adoptive sister: Reagan Reed, Risa. Reagan was the only one in the family to forego Starfleet. She moved to Risa and officially represents the "pleasure planet."

Personal History

Jefferson was born on Vulcan, but at three years of age, her DNA was altered to disguise her as Michael Reed's biological child after a threat on her life, an act her Vulcan grandfather later referred to as a highly illogical and disturbed action. Jefferson grew up with behavioral and emotional difficulties. The difficulties escalated when her father’s starship, the USS Fury, disappeared without a trace. It has not been seen or heard from since.

Her family being a Starfleet family, she entered the academy and did well, though she had no friends. After her cadet cruise, she was assigned to the USS Kodiak. During a mission, she received an electrical shock which caused her latent Vulcan DNA to overtake her manufactured Terran DNA. The process nearly took her life, but with expert medical care, she emerged from her treatment as a full-fledged Vulcan, no physical trace evident of her former Terran self. Mentally, things were not as seamless. Though now having answers for why she had never adjusted to a Terran lifestyle, Ms. Reed now had the task of integrating her two identities, Jefferson Reed and the Vulcan Sakorra. It took several years and visits to Vulcan to work with healers and Vulcan adepts in the mental disciplines before she was able to finally be at peace with her life.

She was able to make friends and a home for herself on the Kodiak and eventually married in a traditional bonding ceremony on Vulcan to Lt. Commander Solok, the doctor who had treated her and assisted her in the Vulcan mental disciplines. Though Vulcan, Sakorra has kept many of her Terran tendencies. She is a Vulcan who smiles and laughs, and though she never met her Vulcan parents, she enjoys a newfound relationship with her grandfather, Ambassador Satelk.
