Caitríona was born on Earth. Her parents | Caitríona was born on Earth. Her parents, Kathleen and Patrick, were Irish and raised her along with her brother, Anthony. They lived on a small farm in the south of Ireland that her father owned. She had a good upbringing and considers her parents to be good people, they would have done anything for their kids. If you asked someone who lived in the village close by, they would have been described Caitríona as a shy child, usually listening rather than speaking. She would enjoy going to the seaside at the nearby harbour town of Cobh - the fresh air and the smell of the sea always brought her great comfort. | ||
In her school work, she | In her school work, she was pretty normal. Even though she was a shy child, she loved to take part in plays and productions that were put on. Seeing the smile on her parents face, it made her feel proud, and that was something she always wanted to make them feel. | ||
Her brother who was | Her brother who was older than her finished school first. Caitríona would help out on the farm from time to time but this became more of a full-time job for Anthony. However, Caitríona wanted more for her life, and she was heavily influenced by her mother, a maternity nurse to go out there and find what she was looking for. She suffered from a lot of doubt, she didn't feel Starfleet would be for her - well actually, she didn't believe she was for Starfleet. Her doubt deterred her from applying to the academy so she could study as a Doctor. Instead, she went to the local Starfleet Medical Facility so she could apply to train as a nurse. | ||

Caitríona was now 18, finished her secondary education and she had to do something with her life. It was time for her to grow. She started training to be a nurse, even though she was unsure what she wanted to do in the future - but she did know. Her dreams were to be a Medical Officer on a Starship, to discover the universe. Her own self-doubt and insecurities caused her to not even try. | |||
She spent 4 years studying with a few other people her age, some were passionate about Nursing. Caitríona is a very meticulous and precise person, she really started to enjoy what she was doing. She had a friendly nature and couldn't bear seeing others in pain. | She spent 4 years studying with a few other people her age, some were passionate about Nursing - more so than she was maybe. Caitríona is a very meticulous and precise person, and eventually, she really started to enjoy what she was doing. She had a friendly nature and couldn't bear seeing others in pain. Her seniors would tell her that she had great qualities in becoming a great nurse. | ||

She would spend hours and hours in the medical facility, getting experience in all types of situations. It really helped her grow as a person. She wasn't as shy as her childhood self after being forced from her shell in the medical environment. Communication was key and she was thankfully quick to adapt. However, she still felt like she wasn't doing what she wanted to do, what she needed to do. She saw many people go to Starfleet Academy and become officers and she was always envious of the Doctors. | ||
While working as a Nurse, Caitriona met a Bajoran Marine who was visiting Earth. His name was Bikar Zuv. Tales of the state of the Bajoran homeland were in their peak on Earth, lots of wounded - militia and freedom fighters. Even though some may have been warily interacting with a Bajoran at the time - "He could be a terrorist" some would whisper. - Caitríona wasn't worried about Bikar at all. The two become close, lovers, after a few years he even proposed. Caitríona was the happiest she had ever been and it was total bliss. | |||
During the [[Battle for Bajor]], many extra aides were sent to Bajor from Earth. Caitríona was part of this, but it was truly awful. The violence was intense and it will stick with her for a long time. Her and Bikar were no more, not to mention the psychological and physical damage she suffered. Even though the Battle was a success, Caitríona returned home defeated. | |||
She needed to do more with her life, being a nurse wasn't enough. She needed purpose and duty. She knew if she was a Starfleet Officer during the Bajoran battles, she could have done more. She could have saved more. Her brother was the one who convinced her to eventually apply to Starfleet Academy, and she got in. | |||
