Lyras is a geneticist and a neuroscience expert for the Vulcan Biology Institute. Her parents, T'Sil and Valsur, had two other children. Lyras' sister T'lain is a member of the Vulcan government. T'lain is married and has one son. Lyras' brother Strennel is a Starfleet science officer working in research and development. She attended the [[Vulcan Science Academy]] and hoped that her children would follow in her footsteps as scientists. | ||
The couple's first child, Anath's sister Jolash, was born three years into their marriage. Anath was born two years later and their brother Avarak four years after that. The family has a home in T'Paal City on Vulcan, where Lyras works. | T’Shol, Son of Rartoll is a former field medic for the Klingon Defense Force. Rartoll and Rhila's second child, after his older brother O'Trel. A disguised anti-personnel mine exploded, requiring that his left leg be amputated. He was subsequently drummed out of the KDF and left to find a new career. With the limited positions for a doctor in Klingon society, T'Shol immigrated to the Federation and took up residence on Earth for several years. During this time he Federationized his name. For a last name, T'Shol adopted the name of his grandmother Colonel G'Renn to honor her. This last name would also be passed on to his children. | ||
T'Shol G'Renn and Lyras first met during a biochemistry symposium hosted by the Vulcan Biology Institute, and the unusual sight of a Klingon dedicated to medicine was intriguing to Lyras. The couple married several years later. The couple's first child, Anath's sister Jolash, was born three years into their marriage. Anath was born two years later and their brother Avarak four years after that. The family has a home in T'Paal City on Vulcan, where Lyras works. T'Shol G'Renn moved to Vulcan and took up work as a civilian family medicine doctor working on Vulcan. | |||

She enjoyed listening to her father's stories about his struggle for acceptance in the Klingon military as a medic, exploring the area around her home, caring for two pet sehlats, and playing chess. During these early years her closest friends were a human girl named Alexa Kennedy, a younger Vulcan girl named T'pril, and her older brother [[Anath G'Renn/Savok|Savok]]. Alexa Kennedy brought Anath out of the Vulcan shell she had been adopting and helped lead Anath in to all manners of trouble. Both of the girls were almost removed from the Syrran Learning Center for their disruptive behavior. | ||
The G'Renn household was at times chaotic and divided among "Vulcans" and "Klingons". Anath's older sister Jolash took after T'Shol and exhibited many Klingon characteristics. Meanwhile Anath had become a vegetarian and often emulated her mother's mannerisms. These conflicting character traits would often lead to arguments between the sisters. Angry arguments and sparring matches were common. Avarak was a happy medium between the two and was Anath's favorite sibling. | |||
Anath focused more and more on her academics after her brother's death, hoping to apply for and be accepted into Starfleet Academy to become a doctor and help those in need. | December of 2380, the G'Renn family took a trip to Terra Nova and explored the once-desolate human colony world. During the fourth day of their trip, Avarak fell ill with an unknown infection and was rushed to a medical center. He died a few days later, with his siblings and parents separated from him by a containment force field. This incident left Anath especially upset, living in her room and rarely emerging or interacting with her family members for almost two months. Her brother's death was the initial catalyst for her considering a career in medicine. She never wanted to see anything like what befell Avarak happen again. Anath focused more and more on her academics after her brother's death, hoping to apply for and be accepted into Starfleet Academy to become a doctor and help those in need. | ||
The years after Avarak's death were marked by a substantial increase in Anath's focus on her academic career. She selected more challenging classes and worked with other students like [[Anath G'Renn/Savok|Savok]] in areas of study she struggled with. Once she completed her preliminary education, Anath applied to Starfleet Academy and was accepted along with Alexa Kennedy. Months earlier she had learned of the marriage that her mother had arranged between her and [[Anath G'Renn/Savok|Savok]]. Anath felt conflicted over her lack of choice in the matter and left the matter unresolved before departing for Earth. | |||

At Starfleet Academy Anath was relieved to learn that her roommate was Alexa Kennedy, who helped her adjust to life on Earth. Alexa Kennedy also introduced her to some human culture, specifically baseball. She took a strong liking to the sport and became a big fan of the game. However, not all of her Academy experiences were as cheerful. Her Klingon temper made some enemies, and her unique physiology made typical emotional repression techniques for Vulcans ineffective. Despite the struggle of maintaining composure, she passed her exams and received an undergraduate degree in xenology with a minor in psychology. | |||
Medical school was a much better experience for Anath. She specialized in pediatric medicine and performed very well in her classes. During her spare time she helped found a recreational baseball team with several other students. Several negative experiences with Professor Roger Thorston at the beginning of her senior year led to mandatory counseling sessions. Despite that setback, she graduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.85 and received her doctorate of medicine. | |||
After completing medical school Anath was sent to Starbase 118 for her cadet cruise. She passed with flying colors and, after a farewell to her family, left for the [[Par'tha Expanse]] the next day to report to her first assignment. | After completing medical school Anath was sent to Starbase 118 for her cadet cruise.

|BLURB=T' | |BLURB=T'pril is the younger sister of [[Anath G'Renn/Savok|Savok]]. She was born a few years after the Dominion War, born in January of 2378. She has studied the V’tosh ka’tur and Vulcan emotional repression practices, and does not follow the traditional interpretation of the Teachings or Surak. She is a gifted musician and was recently accepted into the Aldebaran Music Academy. As a child Anath always thought that T'pril was more fun to be around than her brother Savok and encouraged her younger friend to pursue music. The two are now sisters-in-law and regularly write letters to each other. | ||

However, they went their separate ways after the ship's decommissioning. | ||
