During her second year at the Academy, Lael began studying Communications/Operations, Engineering, and Physics. At this time, Lael began dating Ivina Genestra, a Betazoid scientist who was studying on Earth. The two were together for almost a year before they mutually decided that, though there was an attraction between them, what they felt for each other didn't go beyond friendship. Heartbroken, Lael went rock climbing with her friends that summer to get her mind off the break-up. However, due to her distraction and the foolish choices made by her climbing partner, she fell, resulting in a severe spinal injury that paralyzed her. She was told she'd never walk again. | [[Image:DoNotGoGentlePoem.png|100px|left|A copy of Lael's favorite poem, given to her during her recovery from her rock climbing accident.]] During her second year at the Academy, Lael began studying Communications/Operations, Engineering, and Physics.

About a month following the accident, she was contacted by Doctor Gibbons. He was experimenting with the use of nanotechnology to treat otherwise untreatable spinal conditions. The procedure was highly controversial and hadn't yet been approved for Humanoid testing. Despite the risks, Lael agreed to be the first Humanoid subject to receive the procedure. Following the procedure, Lael completed extensive physical therapy to regain her mobility. It was during this time that she met {{n|Elina Kincade}}, who supervised her care and therapy. Through Elina, Lael also became friends with {{n|Rebecca Hollendale}} and with {{n|Dassa Alexander}}, one of Elina's students and an aspiring Starfleet medical officer. Prior to the beginning of her third year, Lael had an intimate liaison with Dassa, leaving the two permanently connected via an unintentionally-formed psionic bond. | About a month following the accident, she was contacted by Doctor Gibbons.

As Doctor Gibbons had promised, Lael passed all of her Academy physicals with flying colors and she started classes again in the spring following her accident. The nanotechnology offered the added benefit of increasing her already beyond-Human agility and strength as well as marginally increasing her senses; in particular, her sense of smell. | As Doctor Gibbons had promised, Lael passed all of her Academy physicals with flying colors and she started classes again in the spring following her accident.

In her fourth year while completing her Engineering Apprentice internship aboard [[StarBase_118_Ops|Starbase 118]], she met Jensar Berel. The two had a passionate relationship. Six months following their meeting, the two eloped on {{n|Risa}}. Neither of their families were supportive of the marriage. Six months into their marriage, Jensar's older brother was assassinated, forcing him to return home to fill his brother's role on the {{n|Betazed}} council. Jensar tried to convince Lael to come with him, but she wasn't willing to give up the Starfleet career that she'd fought so hard to keep. Her dreams were in the stars. Lael was devastated and jumped into a rebound sexual relationship with an unjoined {{n|Trill}} woman, Alva Tigan. But this relationship inevitably ended when Alva was selected for Joining. | In her fourth year while completing her Engineering Apprentice internship aboard [[StarBase_118_Ops|Starbase 118]], she met Jensar Berel.
