She was raised alongside her two siblings on Vulcan for the first ten years of her life, until her parents decided that their children needed to experience other cultures by travel. She returned to Vulcan at age 12 to do her kahs-wan. While this was usually done at age eleven, her father had to convince the elders, one of whom was his own father that Meidra's El Aurien blood made her just as worthy to go through the ritual. She passed, but it gave her a life long hatred of the desert. Her father disappeared during her kahs-wan under mysterious circumstances, and Meidra has never gotten over it. | ||

She sometimes switches between languages when she is nervous, or angry. | Her mother spent the next several years taking her children to different worlds, encouraging them to learn as many languages and customs as they could, making it a competition.

She answered that plan by publicly denouncing the proceedings as an archaic relic no longer needed. Traveling to other worlds and opening their views to other species means that parents no longer had to bond their children to ensure their line continued. Needless to say, her family was not pleased by the situation. | Her Vulcan grandfather wants Meidra to honor her family by marrying the son of a wealthy clan and giving up all thoughts of a career.
