 Being born with her â�?��?giftsâ�?��?�, Alana spent the better part of her childhood confined and held back in mental facilities.  She was only socialized with the doctors, nurses and family that would visit her.  She really didnâ�?��?�t have any friends, per se, until she reached the Starfleet Academy and even then things were aggravated.  Even though she involved herself academically at the Vulcan Science Academy, especially after her familyâ�?��?�s premature passing, Alana never really had the decent skills to make friends or at least try to.  This would certainly be consistent with her mild case of ''social anxiety disorder'', and ''self confidence issues''.  '''''Social Anxiety Disorder''''' consists of a fear in social situations.  Although Alana has grown in many ways, her shyness in some areas can be attributed to her isolated upbringing.
-There are also the varieties of men that have entered her life.  Though she enamors many, Alana herself is sometimes unaware of the spell she casts over the eyes and hearts of those men and/or women.  A smile here, a whisper there.  Though she wasnâ�?��?�t always as casual and forthcoming with her feelings, sometimes her immaculate gifts warp her perception.
+There are also the varieties of men that have entered her life.  Though she enamors many, Alana herself is sometimes unaware of the spell she casts over the eyes and hearts of those men and/or women.  A smile here, a whisper there.  Though she wasnâ�?��?�t always as casual and forthcoming with her feelings, sometimes her immaculate gifts warp her perception.  This is common amid the Betazoid people, especially for those with Alana's birth criteria.
-Alana Devar is ''in love with being in love''.  She finds solace in that feeling and craves it to cover the tracks of her past.  However, in that airy feeling, there are doors of illusion that open, projecting vast importance on others and expecting things they may never be able to give.  Having her father in her life, but very seldom would he come to visit his sick daughter because of his career as an Ambassador.  There are rejection issues at an early age from the male gender.  This only amplified when Alana discovered that her father had a torrid affair with a Terran, Wilma Rogers, which resulted in the birth of her half sister, Carmen.  Wilma was one of Devynâ�?��?�s Administrative Assistant to Operations.
+'''Borderline Psionic Psychosis''', or '''BPP''', affect Betazoids who were born with their telepathic gifts.  Having the training as she did as a child numbed some the effects that would transcend into her adult life.  Other Betazoids are not so fortunate, having the condition so severely that it would leave their judgment of reality and themselves as an individual impaired.
+Generally, BPP can be classified as ''acute'', ''residual'' or ''mild''.  Acute patients tend to make their lives in the University of Betazed, unable to screen out the emotions and thoughts of those around them.  Sometimes the condition in acute cases can lead to insanity, other mental illnesses and in extreme cases, suicide.
+Alana, however, has the'' residual'' version, able to control it with barriers within her psyche.  Sometimes wavelengths will break through those barriers, making Alana confused on what her emotions and true thoughts are.  This is easily controllable through medication (though these 'dull' the senses to the degree to which Betazoids would be uncomfortable with) and/or psionic inhibitors.  The experience with the [[Serpentai]] left some weaknesses, but Alana is overall strong despite the trials and tribulations she endured.
+Alana Devar is also ''in love with being in love''.  She finds solace in that feeling and craves it to cover the tracks of her past.  However, in that airy feeling, there are doors of illusion that open, projecting vast importance on others and expecting things they may never be able to give.  Having her father in her life, but very seldom would he come to visit his sick daughter because of his career as an Ambassador.  There are rejection issues at an early age from the male gender.  This only amplified when Alana discovered that her father had a torrid affair with a Terran, Wilma Rogers, which resulted in the birth of her half sister, Carmen.  Wilma was one of Devynâ�?��?�s Administrative Assistant to Operations.
 Though she does not openly hold disgust to her fatherâ�?��?�s actions, she does feel them inside.  She also feels the pain of her family torn from her.  The rejection issues only soared higher when her genetic bond-mate, Savek, snubbed her for a life of logic, science and Star Fleet.  Having been told that her love for him wasnâ�?��?�t logical, nor were a Vulcan and Betazoid compatible, burned a hole straight through Alana.  This, in turn, birthed a deep-seeded fixation on love.  Her father forsakes her mother, and the man she was to marry forsakes her fatherâ�?��?�s daughter.
