Relationships
Family
- Parents
- Chanueh - Elonat's mother. Elonat respects her greatly and loves her dearly, but feels distant from her. Between Chanueh's demanding career and conflict with her mother, she wasn't around as often as Elonat would have liked.
- Yivar - Elonat's father. Elonat's relationship with their father is very strong, as he was more available and quite doting. His fussing sometimes becomes overbearing. However, Elonat doesn't have the heart to try and stop him.
- Their family's surname is not phonetically able to be spelled or pronounced in Standard. Both formally go by their first names exclusively.
- Siblings
- Selok Taxnhass - Elonat's brother.
Background
Early Cubhood
Birth to Early Education
| Elonat’s parents, Chanueh and Yivar, are both Worenes in their late sixties. Chanueh, an experienced bio-engineer and doctor, and Yivar, a cordial artisan, met during Chanueh’s post-doctorate schooling on Frescon. She accepted Yivar’s courting quickly, as he had charmed her greatly. Later in Chanueh’s career, she and some of her colleagues began focusing on treatments and cures for mental health conditions that still plagued older Worene. This resulted in them settling in Vulcana Regar; Hoping to work with Vulcan doctors and mind healers on potential treatments.
The two had lived on Vulcan for eleven years prior to having their first and only litter; Which consisted of two cubs that they named Elonat and Selok. Despite residing in one of the more diverse cities on Vulcan, both Chanueh and Yivar chose to give them Vulcan names. They hoped that in doing so that it would help the two fit in more easily amongst their peers. However, both cubs were unofficially given a Standard-friendly, Worene last name should they desire to use it.
In the years following their birth, Elonat was described as an unnervingly quiet and tranquil cub. Selok often led his more shy sibling around during play and fiercely defended them when he deemed it necessary. Elonat fussed little and was often more than happy to spend time with their father learning about his and his wife’s trades.
Elonat’s family lived within a small neighborhood within Vulcana Regar where (the few) Worene congregated. The community was very tight knit, as a lack of near extended family left many feeling lonely. Cubs within the neighborhood often referred to each other as the Worene equivalent of “cousins” and referred to the adults with family-related titles as well. Thanks to the closeness of the community there, Elonat was still able to learn a great deal about their culture.
Both Selok and Elonat attended pre- and early-education international schools within the city. There they met many other species and were exposed to a swath of different cultures. Still quiet and timid, Elonat was slow to make friends. The few they did become close to were equally excited about science lessons. With a favorite subject identified, Yivar did his best to nourish his cub’s interest. Selok, in what would be considered classic Worene fashion, seemed to mostly enjoy something when he could rough-house or play.
