Sera’s worldview up until leaving Vulcan to enter Starfleet Academy was incredibly insular even to mainstream Vulcan’s standard. This was due in part to her rather unorthodox upbringing within a remote clan (Lyr Zor) that could trace back their origins to well before the time of Surak.  Isolated by remote geography in the Southern hemisphere, Jia'anKahr, within the Lyr T'aya region, is an ancient walled city abutting the Vuldi Gorge; and does not make a habit of welcoming nonmembers.


The ancient Lyr Zor, once spoken of in fervent whispers, were secretive, martial in nature, and were utilized by some Royal Houses as spies and assassins, if the price was right. They were one of the last clans to adopt Surak’s teachings and, even then, did not open themselves to outsiders. Much of the clan’s social customs, behaviors, and hierarchy are still unknowns even in modern day, as Lyr Zor clan members do not discuss their ways with outsiders, including other Vulcans.

The ancient Lyr Zor, once spoken of in fervent whispers, were secretive, martial in nature, and were utilized by some Royal Houses as spies and assassins, if the price was right. They were one of the last clans to at least outwardly adopt Surak’s teachings and, even then, did not open themselves to outsiders. Much of the clan’s social customs, behaviors, and hierarchy are still unknowns even in modern day, and this is just how the clan wants it.
 
“Misdirection is the key to survival. Never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength.  If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.” - Denak M'Lyr'Zor, Follower of Tellus


Sera found the prospect of continuing in the family business to be less than a desirable future for herself.  That coupled with an engagement to a boor of a male which her mother insisted upon to bring greater power and prestige to their family within Clan Lyr'Zor, caused Sera to consider her options.

She “enjoys” understanding how things work, and that extends from ship systems to those she serves with. That desire for dissecting things to achieve complete understanding is what drove her to declare as an Engineering major...that and she was not about to go into Security or Tactical even though she obtained higher aptitude scores in that arena because, you know...reasons.

* '''Off-Duty Dress''': Usually wears something Starfleet Issue.  Pulls from Human/Terran fashion for formal events...because.  However, will wear appropriate Vulcan/clan attire from time to time.
* '''Quarters''': standard issue, however surprisingly cluttered for a Vulcan.  Many empty spaces are filled with dissected equipment or devices under construction.
** '''Prized Posession''': Grandmother's meditation robe (due to the most unusual colors) [http://www.warpdomain.com/images/costumesandprops/costumes/vulcan/VULCAN%20ROBES-1.jpg]
{{Heading|Lyr'Zor Clan Colors/Wardrobe|Gold}}
The colors adopted by the Lyr'Zor clan (blacks, greys, and whites) do nothing to dispel their rather unsavory reputation of shadowy dealings and purportedly distasteful continuing practices.  Heads subtly turn and bystanders step back when a Lyr'Zor-ian walks by.  Lines are sharp, silhouettes are cut closer to the body than in popular Vulcan fashion, which favors earthy tones and long flowing lines.  Even scandalous pleating is used from time-to-time just because...they do what they want.
