Given first impressions, Tildaen might come across as quite shy and jittery. He stutters when he is nervous, and he is nervous most of the time outside his usual circle of friends. Owing to his difficult upbringing, he is prone to being quite insecure, focussing his attention on trying to please others. He can also be very controlling, or overly sensitive, imagining bad intentions when there weren't any. | Given first impressions, Tildaen might come across as quite shy and jittery.

Tildaen can also appear to be a little feminine at first sight, both in appearance and behaviour. Being brought up in a deeply matriarchal Betazoid family has left him deeply conscious of different gender roles. This has made him a little uncomfortable playing the more masculine role that suits Terran society. He has developed a profound personal and academic interest in Klingon culture, which emphasises extremely macho behaviour for men. | Tildaen can also appear to be a little feminine at first sight, both in appearance and behaviour.

Unsurprisingly, Tildaen received a very traditional and stern Betazoid upbringing. At a young age, he was sent to a pre-school for Betazoid children. His telepathic and artistic abilities could better developed there, in a nurturing setting with many adults and positive influences. His parents also found it essential that their son would engage in an early bonding process with other Betazoid children. His arranged marriage (a half-betazoid girl called Jemma Summers) attended the same pre-school and went on to attend the same Betazoid-only Middle School on earth. | Unsurprisingly, Tildaen received a very traditional and stern Betazoid upbringing.

Tildaen and Jemma developed a close friendship that continues to this day, and went through many traditional courting rituals. However, they jointly refused to enter the arranged marriage desired by their parents. At age sixteen, Jemma announced to instead wish to bond with her Imzadi.

However, they jointly refused to enter the arranged marriage desired by their parents. At age sixteen, Jemma announced to instead wish to bond with her Imzadi. Tildaen flatly refused to enter another traditional Betazoid marriage altogether. Although Jemma's parents learned to live with their decision, it was completely unacceptable to Yaxara. Tildaen was forced to leave his parental home. He came to live with the Summers family – which felt somewhat responsible for the turn of events. | ||

Jemma's human father, Peter Summers, became something of an adoptive father to Tildaen. The youth readily adopted his cosmopolitan attitudes, abandoned his faith in the Four Deities, and took a great interest in science. In this period, he developed a strong desire to become a StarFleet officer. | Jemma's human father, Peter Summers, became something of an adoptive father to Tildaen.
