Stats

Appearance

  • Height: 1.58 m (5'2")
  • Weight: 61 kg
  • Hair Color: Black
  • Length of Hair: Mid-back
  • Eye Color:Brown
  • Skin Tone: Tanned
  • Birthmarks, Scars: None
  • Tattoos/Body Modifications: Metallic silver dragon wrapped around left arm from shoulder to mid-forearm.
  • Build: Athletic
  • Carriage: Tends to move quietly, almost always paying attention to her surroundings, unless she's distracted - in which case she can be frighteningly oblivious.
  • Taste in Clothing (when off duty): Either casual skirt and top, or slightly battered coveralls (depending on whether she's been mucking about in the arboretum).
  • Voice: Soft, and faintly musical.
  • Handedness: Right

Manner

  • Quarters: Della's quarters are fairly typical for a member of a starship's senior staff - in size and layout, at least. The furniture and fittings are the basic standard, without any modification or embellishment, and a similar lack of attention has been paid to any other homey touches that one might expect to see. The place is most definitely inhabited, however, and any visitors are advised to watch their step, lest they end up stepping on or tripping over one or more of the books (padd and hardcopy), potted plants, holos, trinkets, discarded clothing, and assorted stuffed animals. Indeed, the quarters look more like the nest of a particularly slobby teenager than the home of a Starfleet officer.
  • Favorite Room: Holodecks, or one of the ship's arboretums.
  • Mannerisms: Typically tries to keep situations light if possible, and almost always has some kind of joking comment to hand. As a side effet of her empathic abilities, she tries to avoid physical contact where possible, but does her best to be subtle about it.
  • Physical Limitations: As with most Trill, Della can suffer major allergic reactions to some insect bites.
  • Temperament: Usually quite calm and confident, but very good at carrying a grudge. Since playing host to T'Lea's katra, her sense of humor has taken a a trun for the dark, and her temper has turned notably more vicious.
  • Habits: Dearly loves hazelnut lattes, and tends to do most of her serious thinking with her eyes closed.
  • Religion/Spiritual Devotion: None in particular.

Personality

Della usually tries to find the best in any given situation, always ready to lend a hand, and equally eager to learn. She is both loyal and caring with her friends, but occasionally displays a downright malicious sense of humor when dealing with those that have earned her wrath.

Hobbies and Pastimes

  • Gardening.
  • Swimming, usually in a holodeck simulation.
  • Reading, mostly fantasy and crime stories (she's even tried writing a bit...).
  • Collecting stuffed animals from the various worlds and cultures she has visited/encountered.

Likes and Dislikes

  • Likes:
    • Hazelnut lattes. Someday, she's going to find a way to pay her sister back for getting her hooked on those things...
    • Music. Preferably loud.
  • Dislikes:
    • Replicated fruit and vegetables. If you have the capacity to grow the things, then why not do it?
    • Opera. She just doesn't get it, and she's tried...
    • Dishonesty. If only she wasn't so good at spotting it.
    • Romulan Ale. Not strictly a dislike, as she quite enjoys the taste. Sadly, it seems to have an abiding hatred for her...

Ambitions and Goals

Forging a suitable legacy for her symbiote's next host to carry on is something of a priority for Della, and was one of her driving motivations for joining Starfleet. After all, there's not much chance for achieving greatness working with your mother in a local clinic.

Another major goal is learning better control over her empathic abilities. They came as something of a major shock in the beginning, and she knows that she still has a long way to go before she fully masters them.

Personal Achievements and Disappointments

Della's greatest achievement to date (at least as far as she's concerned) was being selected for Joining with the Vetri symbiote. She had worked hard for the chance from an early age, and the fact that the joining resulted in something extra special was just the icing on the cake. The joining, and it's side effects, have proved harder work than she expected, and it took a while before she was able to properly assimilate the memories of five other lifetimes.


Family

Della has always go on pretty well with her family, and still keeps in touch with them on a regular basis. She hasn't had a chance to visit them for a while, but the (at least) weekly calls to and fro are filling in quite nicely until she can.

Spouse

  • Marital Status: Single

Della was engaged to Jax Leren, one of her best friends from school, after a romance that began shortly before the pair graduated from high school. Unfortunately, the whole thing collapsed shortly after she was joined, as the changes to her personality and outlook proved too much for Jax to handle. Della has come to terms with the failure of the relationship over the years, but is still a little wary of putting herself in a situation like that again.

Children

None. Whilst she has a vague dream of possibly having one or more at some time in the future, they're not really a major concern.

Parents

  • Mother: Lyssa Maren
    • Lyssa proved a most capable parent, devoting a lot of time to both her children. This was something of an over-compensation, however, as her own parents had been very distant to her - a situation she had no desire to see repeated. Now in her early fifties, Lyssa runs her own psychotherapy practice, and is very proud of the fact that her eldest daughter choose to follow her into the vocation.
  • Father: Roget Maren
    • If Lyssa is the typical professional parent, Roget is the classic genial middle-aged bum. Fascinated by plants since before he could walk, he now makes a living as a freelance lanscape artist, and can usually be found up to his elbows in plant-life, even when not working. Della attributes both her and her sister's general level of fitness to the fact that their father made a habit of taking them along on jobs as soon as they were old enough. Roget himself is proud to admit that Della's interest in plants is due to exactly the same thing.

Siblings

  • Sister: Kestra Maren
    • Four years younger than her sister, Kestra is rapidly forging a name for herself amongst Trill's botanical sciences community. At least, that's how she likes to see it. The truth is a little more mundane, with the young woman having just landed a research position at Trill's Academy of Advanced Learning, a placement that looks likely to leave her nicely set for her intended assault on galactic recognition.


Personal History

Full Article: Della Vetri Personal History

Della was born on Stardate 235706.08 in her parents home town on one of the islands off the coast of the Trill home world's southern continent. Growing up pretty much as one would expect, she eventually entered the Trill Academy of Advanced Learning, graduating with advanced qualifications in Psychology and Psychotherapy.

Only a few months later, she was selected to be joined with the Vetri symbiote, becoming it's sixth host. The psychological shock of the procedure had unexpected side-effects, including awakening her previously undetected latent empathic abilities. One of her first acts on recovery from the joining was to travel to Betazed in an attempt to learn more of her newfound gifts. It rapidly became clear that she was able to pick up on the emotional states of those around her, but only with concentration - never the casual ease that most psionically active individuals achieved.


Professional History

StarFleet Assessments and Records

Full Article: Della Vetri Starfleet Records

Della enrolled at Starfleet Academy on Stardate 238009.24, entering the Counselor training program, but also taking additional training in emergency medicine and interstellar relations. She also joined the small group of students who volunteered to help maintain the Academy's gardens in her spare time. Whilst diligent in her studies, the spread of subjects she was studying did take it's toll a little, resulting in her placing only 26th in her class.

Awards

Stardate 238601.28 - Neelix Award

Working Areas

As a Counselor, Della tends to work wherever her patient is most comfortable. There are times when they come to her, however, and so she keeps her office as relaxing and friendly as possible, in order to put them at ease.

Subordinates

Given the nature of her role within the Constitution's crew, Della has few subordinates. The Counseling department on a typical starship is usually quite small, and this case is no different.

  • Ensign John Coltraine

Alternate Realities

Starfleet officers have, on occasion, encountered alternate realities, and Della is no different.

  • In the reality encountered by the USS Constitution-B on Stardate 238605.29, that version of Della was a Command branch officer, serving as Starfleet Liason aboard the Romulan Warbird Val'sharess. She was killed when she assumed command of the Val'sharess and rammed a Borg vessel in an attempt to protect that reality's USS Constitution-B
