Jania and Nis bonded in an unconventional way: Jania’s mentor in naturalism and geology Yisrah Nis was fatally injured in a rockfall during a hiking trip. Because they were isolated, Yisrah’s symbiont’s only option for survival was to bond with Jania, who was only seventeen. This was psychologically difficult for both of them and caused consternation among the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Symbiosis_Commission Symbiosis Commission], though they’ve since gone through [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Zhian%27tara Zhian'tara] to bond properly. Yisrah’s death and a chance encounter with a Starfleet recruiting agent led Jania to join Starfleet as a medic, as she became more interested in helping people than studying rocks. | Jania and Nis bonded in an unconventional way: Jania’s mentor in naturalism and geology Yisrah Nis was fatally injured in a rockfall during a hiking trip.

She does still enjoy a good rock, though. During breaks from her grueling shifts in sickbay, Jania is usually found on the rock climbing wall in the Butler’s gym. | |||
Although Jania has an adventurous side and loves nature, she can be clumsy. That said, as a medic, she’s quite skilled with her hands. In the academy, she was known for her calming bedside manner, and she was often called to deal with patients who were panicking. | Although Jania has an adventurous side and loves nature, she can be clumsy.

In many cases, she's as fast at accurate diagnoses of injuries without a tricorder as she is with one. She’s by no means a luddite, but if she’s got the time, she prefers to default to low-tech methods of first aid. | In many cases, she's as fast at accurate diagnoses of injuries without a tricorder as she is with one.

{{Heading|On the USS Octavia E. Butler|Blue}}Jania Nis's earliest experience on the Butler involved witnessing an ensign succumb to the hallucinations caused by the changeling on Omicron Victor IV; she and Nurse [[Miash]] managed to prevent the ensign from depressurizing the ship. | |||
She received a Silver Lifesaving Ribbon for her efforts; she later cut it in half to give a portion to Nurse Miash. | |||
After the OVIV mission, Jania mostly stayed on the ship during shore leave, treating radiation wounds and out-of-phase crew members of the USS Unity Dow. {{Heading|Nis Personal History|Blue}} | |||
Nis has had a number of hosts for a symbiont, many of whom lived long lives. This leads Jania to joke that it is a crusty old man. While it has had a variety of hosts, it tends to prefer science-minded hosts. Here is a list of its previous hosts: | Nis has had a number of hosts for a symbiont, many of whom lived long lives.

'''Gaz''' - Host 4 – non-binary – soldier (late 2000s to 2100s) – This host trained as a soldier after the L’Dira incident but never saw combat because of changes in political structures; they lived a long life even for a Trill and traveled the galaxy. They visited many places, including [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Corazonia Corazonia]. | '''Gaz''' - Host 4 – non-binary – soldier (late 2000s to 2100s) – This host trained as a soldier after the L’Dira incident but never saw combat because of changes in political structures; they lived a long life even for a Trill and traveled the galaxy.

'''Ajil''' - Host 5 – male – geologist (most of 2200s) – This host was a famed geologist who made important discoveries about Trill plate tectonics; he left Trill once but found flying disagreed with him so stayed on-world. | '''Ajil''' - Host 5 – male – geologist (most of 2200s) – This host was a famed geologist who made important discoveries about Trill plate tectonics; he left Trill once but found flying disagreed with him so stayed on-world. His pet project was an eccentric search for Trillian time crystals, something most scholars claimed don’t exist. Toward the end of his life, he became a bit of a joke, and people said he only wanted to find time crystals on Trill because he was too much of a coward to look for them anywhere else. | ||
'''Sudre''' - Host 6 – male – biologist (late 2200s to early 2300s) – This adventurous biologist studied lifeforms on and off Trill, including petel stones, a type of plant which grows in asteroid fields. He died, somewhat ironically, in his early 50s after he’d retired to work at a zoo and was bitten there by a venomous earth serpent. | '''Sudre''' - Host 6 – male – biologist (late 2200s to early 2300s) – This adventurous biologist studied lifeforms on and off Trill, including petel stones, a type of plant which grows in asteroid fields.

'''Mibahm''' - Host 7 – female – journalist (2300s) – This host was an entertainment journalist who was familiar with Timorzin [[Lahl (symbiont)|Lahl]]. Mibahm had expensive tastes in food and wine; her favorite wine was Holtin House Tetali. While initially antagonistic after Mibahm wrote a negative review of Timorzin's restaurant, over the years their relationship mellowed, and when Mibahm died, Timorzin spoke some kind words at her funeral. | '''Mibahm''' - Host 7 – female – journalist (2300s) – This host was an entertainment journalist who was familiar with Timorzin [[Lahl (symbiont)|Lahl]].

She used Ajil’s memories to become a specialist in time crystals, although she didn’t believe any could be found on Trill itself. | ||
