Akoni was an only child, as her parents considered her a blessing, afraid to try again when the first attempt had ended horrendously. As a child, Akoni was loud, bright, and intelligent. With no other siblings, she did not do well with sharing her items, as she was, and is still, highly materialistic, though the reason for this changes over time. Her parent's teachings of peace often went ignored as Akoni constantly fought with other students in and outside the classroom. While she was considered a trouble maker, Akoni had one somewhat close friend, Taudal Nirir. Taudal was a short, quiet spoken girl with short blond hair and dull brown eyes. The two were often project partners, and so became acquaintances. Their "friendship" however, soon faded into a mutual acknowledgment of one another as they realized their lack of shared interests. | Akoni was an only child, as her parents considered her a blessing, afraid to try again when the first attempt had ended horrendously.

When Akoni turned 8 years old, her parents pulled her from her studies for one month to accompany them on a special family visit to Vulcan. Albanos had made considerable ties with a Vulcan couple during his first mission there, the one Gaiana had helped him with before their marriage. The Soriano's met with Silok, T'Karik, and their son, Selar who was one year older than Akoni. Selar was a quiet, kind, and thoughtful boy who always put consideration into every word he said. Although he was immediately put off by Akoni's contradictory and loud behavior, Akoni was instantly drawn to him and his foreign persona and refused to settle for anything less than a mutual friendship. Akoni eventually understood Selar's dislikes for loud voices and erratic behavor. Keeping this in mind, she followed Selar wherever he went, despite his disapproval to this. At one point during the second week, Albanos amusingly called her "Selar's Shadow", much to Akoni's and Selar's annoyance. Akoni became quieter and more controlled of her outbursts, earning the interest of Selar at the change. The two began to speak more frequently, but mostly with Selar speaking over his should nonchalantly and Akoni curiously asking questions around corners. While the their parents were away, Selar took Akoni on "adventures", as she liked to call them, throughout the inside and outside of his house. More than once, Akoni would convince Selar to hide with her from the Vulcan housemaid, T'Veran, even though they both knew the inevitable lecture they would receive for doing so afterwards. The exchange in behavior led to a close friendship between the two as they grew to be best friends.

The exchange in behavior led to a close friendship between the two as they grew to be best friends. Selar began to act more boldly and spoke more often, surprising his parents at the change in behavior. As an only child as well, Selar was often private about his affairs, seldom sharing his thoughts or opinions with others. | ||
Since Silok and T'Karik were both professors at the Vulcan Science Academy, their influence was apparent in Selar. He would often show Akoni the equipment he'd received as gifts from his parents. Wildly interested in scientific items, Akoni grew a passions for Selar's favored field of interest, astronomy. The two spent most nights staring through Selar's telescope, admiring the beautiful Vulcan night sky that differed ever so slightly from that on Tandar Prime. By the end of their visit, Akoni and Selar had become inseparable, despite the faint friction that had sprung between them when the Soriano's arrived. The two exchanged comm addresses and easily stayed in touch. | Since Silok and T'Karik were both professors at the Vulcan Science Academy, their influence was apparent in Selar.

On the return home, Akoni told her parents of the wonderful time she'd had with Selar on Vulcan. Albanaos and Gaiana were very pleased that their daughter had enjoyed herself, until she mentioned her new found love for the sciences. They immediately shunned her interests and scolded her for believing in time consuming and useless research. Shocked by her parents reaction, Akoni dropped her curiosity in science for sometime. | On the return home, Akoni told her parents of the wonderful time she'd had with Selar on Vulcan.

[[File:SorianoCabin.jpg|300px|thumb|right| This is the Soriano cabin. It was built by Albanos and several of his interplanetary colleagues. The design was a collaboration of Vulcan, Betazoid, and Klingon architecture. The hanging rooms came from the Vulcans, the sloped and rounded bodies of each room, connected through external walkways was Betazoid, and the sturdy, calculated location of the support beams to hold up the walkways and prevent the rooms from falling was Klingon.]] | |||
Akoni eventually met an older woman named Takakarai Esperon, an enthusiastic scientist who appreciated astronomy and chemistry who lived near the Soriano's secondary home in the woods. Akoni and Selar were properly introduced after being caught attempting to steal various items from Esperon's laboratory. However, the older woman's anger was short lived as she observed their curiosity of her workshop, and she eventually agreed to let them look around. She watched Akoni grow up from afar and was a major influence on the young Tandaran in her secret pursuit of her scientific studies. The setting would later become one of Akoni's favorite holodeck retreats. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!t )opic/sb118-constitution/R_4yd5pl7PQ | Akoni eventually met an older woman named Takakarai Esperon, an enthusiastic scientist who appreciated astronomy and chemistry who lived near the Soriano's secondary home in the woods.

Later on in her high education, she was reintroduced to astronomy as well as starship engineering. Her interest was re-sparked and she secretly began to pursue them under her parents surveillance. As soon as Akoni graduated from her secondary schooling, she instantly applied to StarFleet and was accepted 2 months later. | Later on in her high education, she was reintroduced to astronomy as well as starship engineering.
