Background

Keehani Ukinix was born in 2375 during the Dominion War. She was the daughter of Cigrin Ukinix and an unknown female. Both of her parents were Betazoids. Several days after she was born, her parents died, and Keehani was moved to be with her Grandmother, Vaxa Ukinix. From that point on, Vaxa raised Keehani and became her guardian. The details of who, and how, Keehani was delivered to her grandmother are unknown.

When Keehani was the equivalent age of 9 Earth months old, Vaxa, who became the matriarch of the Ninth House of Betazed after the death of her parents and sisters, was forced to change her and Keehani's family name to Ral after a protracted legal battle which meant that she never gained control of the Ninth House. Vaxa kept the details of her matriarchy secret from Keehani, until early 2397, when Vaxa was diagnosed with a rare and acute neural disorder, a possible side effect of Empathic Synaesthesia.

Tracing Her Lineage

Once Keehani was told the truth about her grandmother, Keehani immediately set about for Vaxa to regain control of the Ninth House. Keehani attempted to discover more about the Ukinix family, only to find that records of them were difficult to obtain, largely due to the actions of the other Betazed houses. Keehani was able to discover that Vaxa had a brother, Astradem Ukinix, who had moved to Earth and married a human woman, Stacey.

Several days after Vaxa told her about her past, Keehani applied to change her family name back to Ukinix. However, this was met with bureaucratic resistance from Betazed officials.

Education

KEehani is studying exopolotics at the University of Betazed, Medara campus.
