With a traditional StarFleet Marine father, he was raised to value military values and discipline but grew to resent the strict discipline given his penchant for challenging status quo and dislike for conformity. His two older sisters, Emma and Elly, were brought up under the same environment but managed to subtly play the gender card in order to attain autonomy in their career choices, though it would seem that the “damage” has already been done as both ended up at StarFleet Academy. They were able to choose their majors however – a choice that was denied to Ethan because he is the only son of the family. It was a choice that almost could not be made, because unlike his studious sisters, he prioritized his hobbies, which included astronomy and first-hand scientific experimentation, over school as a child and the general consensus of his teachers then was that he would never make it to StarFleet Academy. Ethan’s willful disregard for the books before high school was encouraged by his sisters, who admired his courage to rebel, and their unity in the face of the strong parental interference laid important foundations for close sibling relations that remain to this day. Their mother provided some degree of counter-balance against their father, oft persuading her husband to give the children a freer hand in making decisions, but if there is one area of decision-making that an Asian college professor would deprive the kids of, it was education. This subjected Ethan to countless reprimands until he concluded early on in high school that the only way he would be able to escape parental control over his life is to get himself posted to a StarFleet ship far away from Earth. He explored the option of enlisting until he received news, much to everyone’s surprise, that he had been admitted to StarFleet Academy. His last ditch efforts during high school to bring himself up to speed with his peers with regards to test-taking skills had paid off. | With a traditional StarFleet Marine father, he was raised to value military values and discipline but grew to resent the strict discipline given his penchant for challenging status quo and dislike for conformity.
