-     Veradis is the daughter of a Federation diplomat and a retired starfleet nurse, and had the misfortune to be born a congenitally active telepath.  Assaulted with a barrage of foreign thoughts from the moment she first opened her eyes, Veradis spent much of her childhood in Betazed medical and psychological institutions.  She grew up very close to her mother and sister, who seemed to be the only two people whose thought intrusions didn't greatly bother her.

-     Upon reaching puberty (the time when most Betazeds develop their telepathy) she was fortunate, and found that her ability to control and shield thoughts developed enough that she could block most unwanted thoughts.  The doctors working with her called her lucky, and allowed her to join her peers in regular Betazed schooling.  Yet her shielding abilities never were (and still aren't) perfect and she had troubles clearing out the background noise of other student's thoughts.  As a result she drifted towards subjects that allowed her to work alone.  She particularly enjoyed scientific and mathematical pursuits finding that their order helped her to focus and clear her mind.

-     Upon finishing primary schooling Veradis decided to veer from traditional Betazed careers, and applied to the Federation Academy of Science on Rigel V.  She studied there for 6 years, achieving a master’s degree in particle physics and thermodynamics.  It was also on Rigel where Veradis was first introduced to yoga and much of the music she enjoys.  Both pursuits she found very helpful for focusing herself and helping to clear out the unwanted thoughts that came to her.  She also started playing 3-D chess, becoming with the mathematical and strategic aspects of the game.  She especially enjoys playing against people who can keep their thoughts shielded (such as Vulcans) because she finds it easier to concentrate on her own strategy rather than blocking their thoughts.

-     After graduating, she was awarded a research position on Deep Space 8, working alongside Federation scientists studying the emissions of a nearby star.  She got the chance to complete a paper on the use of 'thermal radiative emissions as an alternative fuel source' and did well with her research.  But two years into the project, Deep Space 8 fell into conflict with the Klingons due to it’s posting near the neutral zone.  In 2389 was attacked, suffering heavy causalities.  Veradis survived, but the attack, alongside the heavy telepathic trauma caused her to retreat from research.  After spending two months at home, she returned to the safety of the Federation Science Academy, and completed her doctorate in physics.  She also found herself denying the existence of any Federation conflicts during this time, and after she graduated she found a research position on Algeran VII a planet as far away any fighting as possible.
-     Verdadis was recently shaken from her safety zone by the news of the death of her sister, Yelenea.  Upon hearing of Yelenea’s death, Veradis was crushed with grief, and yet she knew Yelenea died saving hundreds of innocent lives in the facility.  Veradis started thinking that running away was a cowardly decision and that she was hiding away on some back planet.  In a rather knee-jerk reaction she fronted her name for the Darwin, and was rather shocked when accepted.
