| Lael was born Stardate 236711.04 two minutes before her twin brother Kellan in Cedar Rapids, Michigan to mother Adelynn Rosek. From birth, she was curious, always eager to explore her surroundings, particularly the outdoors. By the age of six, her natural curiosity had led her to discover her talent and fascination with fixing and building things. She excelled in school, outstripping her peers, especially in Math and Science. She spent summers studying wildlife and pursuing outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, rock-climbing, mountain biking and climbing tall trees just for the view. She kept mostly to herself, her closest relationship being with her twin brother, Kellan. The two would often dodge through the forests near their hometown playing games such as tag and going for swims in a nearby pond.

| In her freshman year of high school, she was an active member of FFE (Future Farmers of Earth). As she grew older, she blossomed socially thanks to her mother making her attend finishing school at 15. Her charm and easy laughter made her enjoyable company. She, Kellan and their friends would spend summers swimming, swinging and cliff-diving. Her natural athleticism led to an active sporting career in middle and high school, where she ran as part of the track team, receiving medals in numerous events.

| At age 14, she attended a Starfleet summer camp and fell in love with the idea of Starfleet. From then on, she was determined to pursue a career in Starfleet. She devoted every spare minute of her time to preparing, sacrificing a social life for her dreams. It all paid off when she was accepted at the tender age of 18.

| Lael wanted to pursue Engineering but was pressured by her mother to join the Command Track. However, the vids and textbook descriptions of tortures caused her such a degree of stress that she nearly developed a split personality. She was removed immediately from the Command Track and forced to select another major or be discharged from Starfleet. Though at one point she considered accepting the discharge and going in search of her father, her brother encouraged her to stay with Starfleet and pursue Engineering.

| Ivina was her first monogamous relationship and they were together for her first year as a Cadet. However, they mutually decided to end the relationship because they weren’t in love. The summer after her first year at the Academy, slightly heartbroken from her and Ivina’s ended relationship, she went rock-climbing with some friends, resulting in a fall that injured her spine to such a degree that she was told she would never walk again. But Lael was determined. She accepted an experimental treatment from another doctor and four months of physical therapy later, she was re-admitted to the Academy.

| During her third year at the Academy, she met Jensar Berel, a Betazoid Ambassador. Their relationship moved quickly and within six months, they had eloped despite protests from both their families. Six months later, Lael graduated at the top of her class and received an internship assignment aboard Starbase 118 as an Apprentice Engineer. They remained married for another six months before his older brother’s death resulted in them divorcing so he could take his older brother’s place as Ambassador.

| She moved on and six months later met Alva Tigan, a Trill merchant. The relationship was short-lived, however, as Alva ended things after her joining.

| A few days later, Lael was transferred to the USS ''Centris-A'' where she served for her cadet cruise. Shortly after completing her cruise, she was assigned to the USS ''Victory'', which was severely damaged by the singularity over Luxis III, resulting in her temporary reassignment to the USS ''Achilles'' for a mission to investigate reports of a deadly plague being stolen from a Romulan facility. During the course of the away mission, she and Doctor Janel Tarna were captured and tortured in an attempt to convince the Starfleet Officers to help modify the plague. While confined, Lael formed a friendly association of sorts with the young doctor, leading to a budding romance

| | |
| When Tarna was transferred to the Darwin-A, Lael took a position as a Helm/Communications/Operations Officer aboard the USS ''Gorkon'', where she continues to serve, occasionally helping out in Engineering.
