Hsina was born in Iraq to an Iraqi father and a Greek mother, the youngest of four children.  Hsina's farther was a police officer in Baghdad, and was killed in the line of duty when Hsina was only 6-years-old.  Her mother, a medical doctor, raised Hsina and her siblings until Hsina was 13, at which time she literally slipped and fell down a flight of stairs, to her death.  At that time, Hsina was the only minor child, her sister Nuri the next youngest was already 23-years-old, and a police officer like their father.

Hsina was taken in by brother Uday, who was something of a nut-job, but a very tough nut-job who made his living as a professional boxer and an amateur drunk.

Hsina's achievements in her field are due in no small part to her exceptional memory, which allowed her to recall clues from books read years before and piece them together for that "a-ha" moment in which she realized that an ancient sumerian poem was actually coordinates on an equally ancient Sumerian map.  One of those mysteries who's answer had been staring scholars in the face for centuries.

Contrary to what her resume might suggest, Hsina is no bookworm.  The combination of her tumultuous childhood, extreme height and being raised by a brother who was a professional boxer, Hsina couldn't help but come out slightly odd, 51-50, playing slightly short of a full deck, etc.  She is beyond fanatically fit, with her exercise routine more masochistic than merely fanatical.  At 6'1" she is extremely strong, a trait she got from her mother and shares with her brother, who is 6'5".  She is proportional for her height, with a definitely feminine build, but one subjected to masochistic workouts to produce a body that would make most Klingons jealous.  Also like her mother and brother, she is freakishly strong, easily out-muscling the vast majority of men.  Her height, massive build and stern countenance are often intimidating to people who do not know her well, and even to some who do (the whole she's crazy thing).

Hsina has no fear.  This is not a heroic, courageous kind of no fear, but more a mentally defective, death is merely the end and of she likes pain kind of no fear.  The kind of no fear that put her in the hospital when she was mugged at knife point in London and attacked the mugger with her fists, breaking the muggers arm, jaw and four ribs, but getting stabbed three times in the process.

What really happened was that a Romulan team infiltrated and boarded Curiosity, and made a play to capture the ship and the precious Preserver artifact.  By the time the fighting was over, only four of Curiosity's crew and Dr. Hsina Amman, who was on board as a civilian mission specialist remained alive, and the Curiosity herself was dead in space, venting atmosphere.  The Romulan survivors escaped with the Preserver artifact.

THAT WAS SIXT-YEARS-AGO.  The five survivors went into stasis, certain that someone would find the drifting, derelict starship.  They did, YESTERDAY, but only one of the five stasis chambers remained active, that of Dr. Hsina Amman.

Hsina's older brother died twelve-years-ago while she was in stasis on the Curiosity.  Her older sister is still alive, living with her grandson's family, who is in his fifties. 
 
Hsina has never been married, but has had two on-again, of-again long-term romantic relationships.  The first with Dr. Alex Martin, another professor at Oxford.  When Hsina dissappeared, Dr. Martin eventually married one of his female students (Hsina was also once one of his students), had a family and died 25-years-ago at the age of 108.  Hsina's other long-term relationship was with a woman who had been one of her under-graduate and later graduate students.  For her doctoral dissertation Elizabeth Marks accompanied Hsina on the USS Curiosity, where she was one of the casualties.
