Chronological History
Gwen'ora, or Gwen for short, was born on 224908.01 to Wila and Nav Tasen, two Ba'ku who worked one of the large fields for the colony. Gwen was raised on Ba'ku, a planet located within the Briar Patch. With their planet's metaphasic radiation extending slowing their age, the Ba'ku can live centuries.
From a young age, Gwen started helping her parents among the fields. Taking a huge enjoyment in plants and what all they can do for their society. As she grew up, Gwen continued to take an interest in botany and quickly added it to her list of items she wanted to focus on. Eventually when Gwen hit 20, she signed up for various apprenticeships she wanted to follow within the colony. These included botany, artwork with a focus in sketching, and dancing.
For the next 106 years, Gwen focused on herself. Eventually moving out of her parents house and began operating her own farm, focusing on herbal remedies and various unique plants that had not been typically cultivated by other members of the farming community within Ba'ku. She had some of the stranger plants but she had them growing and was developing uses for them within her community.
One of the major things Gwen did during this time was take trips with friends and family that would come with her to document other plants and animals within Ba'ku. While much of this had already been scanned by their systems, Gwen documented and collected on a first hand basis and added the documentation to the Ba'ku systems. Gwen also during this time period started seeing another Ba'ku male named Faren Blek who was a few years older than her. They did not take the relationship too quickly, especially as they had centuries of life to go.
The year Gwen turned 126 was the year that Starfleet initiated first contact with her people. She was there for the situation and the aftermath that happened. At first the just helped and focused on making sure to bring her research and enough seeds to start again if needed. Then helped with anything else.
However, ever since that day, Gwen had her eyes elsewhere than the roaming planes of the planet she had lived on for over a century. Now her gaze was on the stars. After the ship that helped her people and do the same to countless others.
So she started the endeavor to figure out what her heart wanted. This started with slowly breaking ties with Faren Blek who was also already planning to travel the Alpha Quadrant on his own. So she decided that was fine. For years she argued within herself about leaving home but eventually decided by 2380 to apply to a bachelors program on Terra for Xenobiology.
Soon after being accepted to the esteemed program, Gwen left her homeworld for the first time and loved every moment of it. Sure it meant she was no longer affected by the Briar Patch's unique effects. However, overall she was glad to be out and about in the stars.
After Gwen graduated, initially, Gwen returned home and began integrating herself back into her homeworld. Bringing her knowledge back with her. However, it became clear that her wants of adventure would no longer be taken care of via her home.
Gwen stayed home for several years, taking trips off the world to see other nearby planets. However, eventually she realized where her heart was and applied to Starfleet in 2397. The woman attended starfleet academy with her focus being in science where she took the standard classwork required of a science personnel member with a focus in Xenobotany and Xenoecology.
By 2401, her classwork was complete and Gwen'ora Tasen had been transferred to Starbase 118 for her final exam and hopefully be placed soon at a duty post.
