It takes Romyana a while to befriend people, so most of her social interactions are simply polite and considerate. However, for those she considers friends or loved ones, she will jump into an antimatter reactor if necessary. On the other hand, once her trust is lost, it is not regained, ever. | It takes Romyana a while to befriend people, so most of her social interactions are simply polite and considerate.

On stardate 237308.22 Romyana was born to a Human father, Lee, and a half human, half Vulcan mother, Corynne. Shortly after, her parents marry and thirteen months later her brother Zeke was born. | On stardate 237308.22 Romyana was born to a Human father, Lee, and a half human, half Vulcan mother, Corynne. Shortly after, her parents marry and thirteen months later her brother Zeke was born. | ||
At the age of 4 Romyana was hospitalized for over a year. At first the doctors had difficulties determining the cause of her acute and life threatening symptoms, partially because of her Vulcan hybrid heritage which makes her physiology slightly different than that of a pure human. Due to the long term heavy medication, Romyana herself does not remember anything before that time and she has only a few memories of her time in hospital. After some months she was diagnosed to suffer from a congenital disease causing chronic Cirrhosis of the liver and it took almost a year to nurse the young child back to health, or rather, as the physicians call it, a stable condition. | |||
When Romyana and her brother were old enough to go to school, their mother returned to active duty and was assigned as Captain of a newly commissioned star ship. This meant the siblings were raised primarily by their father, who at that time had a teaching post at the Star Fleet flight range near Saturn. | When Romyana and her brother were old enough to go to school, their mother returned to active duty and was assigned as Captain of a newly commissioned star ship.

To her father's disappointment Romyana was more interested in studying the craft's mechanics than flying in it, nevertheless she spent some happy hours with her father taking the trainer craft out for a spin. | To her father's disappointment Romyana was more interested in studying the craft's mechanics than flying in it, nevertheless she spent some happy hours with her father taking the trainer craft out for a spin. | ||
The family lived in a small federation base located on Iapetus, the largest moon of Saturn. During that time Romyana discovered gymnastics and was quite successful in the sector competitions, however the excessive training regime she followed eventually took its toll on her knee joints and she was forced to stop the pursuit of the sport. | The family lived in a small federation base located on Iapetus, the third largest moon of Saturn.

Romyana studied hard and always did what her parents expected of her, but her brother Zeke was quite the opposite and as soon as he finished school he left to study Art with an obscure artists group on Andoria. | Romyana studied hard and always did what her parents expected of her, but her brother Zeke was quite the opposite and as soon as he finished school he left to study Art with an obscure artists group on Andoria. | ||

At the same time her father and mother took a more administrative duty post at Star fleet Head Quarters and moved to San Francisco. Despite the family home being only a few blocks away from the Academy grounds, she stayed mostly within the campus complex and focused on her studies. | ||
In the fourth and final Academy year, Romyana was given the opportunity to go on a work placement; a Cadet Cruise. She joined the Starfleet crew that was sent to a Deep Space station in need of repair and overhaul more than initially estimated, so they welcomed anyone Starfleet could send them with engineering knowledge. Those few months on the station, "moonlighting as engineering assistant" as she calls it, is where Romyana started to enjoy being part of Starfleet and she grew up from a naive shy girl to an independent joyful woman. | In the fourth and final Academy year, Romyana was given the opportunity to go on a work placement; a Cadet Cruise.

It was also the place where she met Nommi Jarr, a young Bajoran crewman who aspired to become an engineering officer too. They became best friends. | |||
Romyana returned to Earth briefly for | Together with her best friend, Romyana returned to Earth briefly for completing some fourth year Academy courses. At his time she found out that her mother had grown exceptionally distant and cold. It may be due to her Vulcan upbringing, but it may also be related to an event that happened between the two in earlier years. Her father remained encouraging and kind as ever. | ||
Presently she has been posted as an engineering officer on Star base 118 where she is eager to continue her exploration of the universe and everything in it. Her goals are to learn more about different species in general and make inter-species friendships. Also, if the opportunity arises she would like to learn more about her Vulcan heritage, because the only Vulcan she really knows is her Grandmother, who, opposite to Human grandparents, did not talk very much on the occasional visits she made to meet her grandchildren. | Presently she has been posted as an engineering officer on Star base 118 where she is eager to continue her exploration of the universe and everything in it.
