Siblings
The only sibling that has taken part in SIM from the time she is truly from would be the mirror alternate to Alana Devar, the clinically insane Alana Lor Gulok. However, in a brief sentimental ceremony, she was accepted in the 13th House of our time by her brother and sister's mirrors: Alana Devar and Gal Teyr (Devar). She now considers this her true family, though she has no intention in having herself confused with the memory of the deceased Arista of this time. She also has a half sister by the name of Carmen Rogers.
Mirror Counterpart
Hailing from a parallel universe, this Arista is obviously different then the Arista that would have lived in this time. Their only similarities (other than appearances): a deep passion for Art and Science.
Arista, before her death, was the prodigy child of her parents. She was intelligent, an exceptional painter and the future Lady of the Thirteenth House. Her personality was bubbly, upbeat, witty and friendly. She was enrolled in the University of Betazed.
It was revealed that Alana admired her older sister and was very envious of her beauty, strength, intelligence and character. Arista was often seen as the mediator between any childhood sibling shouting matches and fights.
Love Life
Unknown prior relationships.
Biography
The Arista Devar of this particular time line died tragically on her father’s ship during his negotiations in close proximity to the Neutral Zone. This Arista comes from a world much darker than the one that flows during this time stream. She hails from a time and galaxy that is dominated by the Mirror Alliance, and her family being subjected to torture and domination.
How did she get here? Even she doesn’t know. She managed to find her way into Starfleet, graduating with a Major in the Science of Biology; she also studies Quantum Physics for personal reasons.
It was when she was in the Academy did a Director notice her appearance as the eldest daughter to Ambassador Devyn Devar of Betazed, who had been deceased for over a decade. It wasn’t like she had amnesia, mind you. Arista knew who she was, but wanted to make a life for herself in this world and find answers on her terms.
During leave in 2384, Arista took the time (and gathered the courage) to travel to Betazed and met her mirror sister, Alana, during her inauguration as Head of the 13th House. Alana, while surprised and speechless of her sister’s other-worldly twin, accepted her into the house and into welcoming arms. It was also revealed that her younger brother, Galwyn Devar (now known as “Gal Teyr Devar”), is alive and well, though he is from this time. Arista is still hard to accept this Alana any differently than the wickedly sinister sister she knew from her time; but, by Alana's gentle nature, Arista has accepted the unique sibling bondship.
Arista decided to continue her accomplishments in the Academy and find her place in this new world. Also known as an exceptional painter, Arista is also highly praised for her work ethics and study. She may come across as bluntly honest at times; her words are very matter-of-fact, but she does not come across as superior or not genuine. From her life experiences, she's probably the most honest person you'll ever meet.

Notes
- Arista suffers from "Flashbacks" of her life before finding a home in our timeline. She tries to triumph over them and finds anchors to keep herself sane.
- She has difficulty in trusting others. It takes a lot of time and effort to get through to her. In a way, it has been her defense mechanism from a prior life. When she does make friends and relationships, they tend to be on a deep and loyal level. She realizes that she needs to have a sense of trust to become an effective team member of her crew.
