R'Ariel was born to Foeixache (a Deltan), and M'reina (a Caitian). The hybrid pregnancy was difficult and she was born premature along with four of her siblings. Unfortunately, out of the four siblings, R'Ariel was the only one to survive.
Slight of build, R'Ariel grew up looking for a place to fit in. Unlike all other Caitain's, she did not have hair/fur on her face, of course, she was half Deltan. Unlike all other Deltan's she was not exactly hairless either. She always felt too ugly or too short. Having received strong empathic abilities from her father - did not make growing up any easier. Even if people were polite to her furless-face, she knew how they felt. It was not comforting.
Through a former-starfleet counselor, who became like a second mother to her, R'Ariel developed her empathic abilities. She began to learn how to use her Empathic, Phermone, and Soothing Touch traits to help others. It was no big surprise that when it came time for R'Ariel to start considering her future, she thought of two things: Starfleet & Counseling.
