** '''Living Room''': The walls of Jelandra's quarters are very elaborately decorated with paintings and tapestries in deep, rich colours - purples, reds, dark oranges, and all things twixt and twain. Her carpet, in stark contrast, is very light cornflower blue. Her living room has a small sofa, and an antique wooden 'table and chairs' set, upon which she keeps her portable terminal, and framed pictures of her friends and family. Aside from these, the only notable furnishing is a box-chest wherein she stores a hardcopy of the LAURA Project personality files. On her window wall are, carefully mounted, her multiple degree certificates.

Jelandra is the concept of "noblesse oblige" personified. She lives for nothing more than her duty, having long since given up on any hope of personal happiness and fulfillment, and that duty is the preservation of the Betazoid race. A daughter of the Third House, Jelandra holds to the belief that aristocratic rank is a position of servitude more than a position of authority - that her 'position' means she must carry the weight of her peoples' troubles on her shoulders.

** Jelandra plays two instruments, viola and pianoforte. The piano is undoubtedly her first instrument, and her primary method of stress relief and relaxation.

** Jelandra uses her musical knowledge in a professional capacity, as a method of relaxing her patients. She believes that music is a universal language, and strives to experience music of every culture and species that the Federation has encountered.

* Bladedancing

** A traditional Betazoid sport combining their natural elegance with a functional approach to self-defence, Jelandra has practised it for over two decades. Being separated from Betazed high society, it represents her only tie to her people's penchant for graceful dance.  

===Parents===

** Jelandra's father has been an intelligencer for Starfleet for several decades, only finally reaching the stage where he is content to hold a desk post within the past two years. He is an energetic man when around friends and family, though somewhat withdrawn and secretive around others. Jelandra holds him in the highest possible regard, and loves him dearly.

** Jelandra's mother has never really identified with her daughter. Viewing Jelandra as a "flawed" child, Jadrice has never felt any particular kinship with her. Jelandra, similarly, finds her mother's somewhat simplistic view of the universe draining and tiresome. The two only meet when absolutely necessary.

===Siblings===

** Four years Jelandra's senior, Becknar was the big brother she never had. That is to cheapen their relationship however since despite spending much of their respective childhoods unable to spend time together, separated as they were by several hundred lightyears, they did communicate extensively. The two are particularly close, and on the rare occasions they meet in person are thoroughly inseperable.
