At the age of ten, Aresee experienced a particularly bout of mania, broke some school property, and injured two other children. In the aftermath of the "Playground Incident," three pediatric specialists examined her and discovered that she had been misdiagnosed as a young child and actually suffered from genetic hypercyclothemia, a rare, recessive, but also very major form of bipolar disorder. Aresee's medical and counseling therapies were adjusted accordingly, but the incident left her embarrassed and withdrawn, and she was home-schooled for the next eight years.

====A Career and an Officer====
With her previous work behind her, Aresee was fairly certain what she wanted to do, and so she set out to do it. By 2382, she had finished her studies at Starfleet Academy and graduated as an ensign, but she had also found time to obtain a doctorate in psychiatry. Her friends were few and far between, as her old allies were long gone, but she made it to her final trial run, a holo-cruise from Starbase 118 aboard the ''USS Centris'', in August of 2382.

Her friends were few and far between, as her old allies were long gone, but she made it to her final trial run, a holo-cruise from Starbase 118 aboard the ''USS Centris'', in August of 2382.
===Early Starfleet Career===
===='''Victory'''====
Aresee's first assignment was to the ''[[USS Victory]]'', just as that ship was [[Government (Victory)|ordered to Tanuga IV]]. Aresee was assigned as counselor and medical assistant on a planetary triage team, there to assist the coup-torn planet. In the course of her duties, she was abducted by entities unknown. Despite deep-mind probes and many hours of meditation, she is currently uncertain what happened while she was a hostage.
Aresee was rescued by a team from the ''Victory'' and returned to the ship's Sickbay. There, she spent several weeks off-duty and in technologically-induced resting periods, regaining her health.
The ''Victory'''s next mission took the crew to the border of the [[Trinity Sector]], near both [[Romulan]] and [[Klingon]] space. The goal of the mission was to recover a platoon of marines whose ship had, officially, "wandered off course" and ended up near the (officially) abandoned Romulan Celipentha Station. Disguised as a Romulan, Aresee assisted the command crew in infiltrating the base, which had been reactivated by the Tal Shiar. The unexpected arrival of Aresee's mother complicated the situation, and the Starfleet teams were barely able to escape with their lives.


<h2 style="margin:0; background:#800000; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #F0E68C; text-align:center; color:#ffffff; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Biographic Information</h2>
Then-Lieutenant Ventu was offered her first chance at command when the ''Victory'' suffered a total power failure in June 2383, stranding the command staff in different areas of the ship.
* '''Full Name:''' Aresee Lily Ventu
* '''Species:''' [[Human]]
* '''Date of Birth:''' May 24, 2352
* '''Place of Birth:''' [[wp:Trondheim|Trondheim]], [[wp:Norway|Norway]], [[ma:Earth|Earth]]
* '''Age:''' 35
* '''Gender:''' Female


During the ''Victory'''s next mission, Aresee was assisting with the transport of several [[Bajoran]] diplomats when the ''Victory'' became a temporal battlefield, playing host to a variety of factions from a number of time periods. Aresee herself was "phased out" of temporal sync by a temporal agent named [[Trenet, Aurelie|Aurelie Trenet]], though she enlisted the help of her captain, [[Phoenix, Robin|Robin Phoenix]], to resolve the situation.
===='''Constitution''''====
With the '''Victory''''s decommissioning and her own promotion to lieutenant commander, Aresee was assigned to the '''Constitution''' as second officer. Her first and only mission there involved the colony world Angel One, and its petition for Federation membership. While the negotiations took place, Aresee had the unexpected task of rebuffing a terrorist invasion of the '''Constitution'''.


<h2 style="margin:0; background:#800000; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #F0E68C; text-align:center; color:#ffffff; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Appearance</h2>
Also aboard the '''Constitution''', Aresee was reunited with Nick Parks, now a lieutenant in the sciences division. They re-kindled their relationship during the '''Constitution''''s shore leave to Risa, just in time for Aresee's next transfer to be made permanent: She had impressed her superiors and was being moved to the '''USS Triumphant'''.
* '''Height''': 5'7 (1.7 m)
===Later Starfleet Career===
* '''Weight''': 130 lbs (59 kg)
===='''Triumphant'''====
* '''Hair Color''': Reddish
During the transfer period, Aresee decided to use her middle name as her given name, and so asked her new crew to begin referring to her as "Lily." She and Nick transferred as executive officer and chief of operations, respectively.
* '''Eye Color''': Blue
* '''Skin Tone''': Pale
* '''Distinguishing Attributes''': Lily's of an average height and build. She keeps her hair at about shoulder length, as she doesn't like to fuss with it. She tends to walk quickly and not watch where she's going, although she can usually (usually, mind you) avoid collisions.
** '''Catchphrases''': "Will do," "I'm on it," "Let's do it."
* '''Handedness''': Right-handed.


<h2 style="margin:0; background:#800000; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #F0E68C; text-align:center; color:#ffffff; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Family & Close Friends</h2>
The '''Triumphant''' was sent by Starfleet to open trade negotiations with the [[Free Trade Union]] at its base of operations, the [[Asterospolis]]. The political mission involved a lot of alliances and betrayals, as well as the tyrant Brol Isak and his modified [[Dominion]] battlecruiser. Nearly half the crew was lost or incapacitated in the resultant battles, including the '''Triumphant''''s captain, [[Rhys Bejain]], and forcing Lily, Nick, and Lieutenant, junior grade [[Reynolds, Quinn|Quinn Reynolds]] into the command posts.


====Partner====
Although they overcame Isak, the negotiations were eventually a failure and the '''Triumphant''' decommissioned shortly after its mission due to the damage it had sustained during its mission.
* '''Marital Status''': Married
===='''Independence'''====
** '''Husband''': [[Reynolds, Hayden|Hayden Reynolds]] (married September 8, 2385, aboard [[Deep Space 17]])
Lily was transferred to the '''USS Independence''' as that ship's chief of medicine and counselor, and later acting first officer. Aboard the Independence, she continued to serve with Quinn and met her cousin, Doctor [[Reynolds, Hayden|Hayden Reynolds]], the man she would eventually marry.


====Children====
Lily's first mission of note was a mission of aid to the [[TE-IV]] colony world, which quickly turned into a terrorist/hostage situation. The most memorable part for Lily was being stranded alone with a gravely injured Quinn, and being forced to care for her until help came.
* '''Number of children''': One
** '''Son''' [[Ventu, Rhys|Rhys Ventu-Reynolds]] (born November 10, 2385, aboard [[Starbase 118]])


====Parents==== 
Later that year, Lily and the '''Independence''' were flung across the galaxy by an unstable wormhole without their commanding officer, chief of medicine, or security chief, forcing Lily and Hayden into the places of first officer and medical chief, respectively. The '''Independence''' successfully made a few first contacts before getting itself home, and the results of the unexpected mission had been so favorable that the '''Independence''''s current executive officer, [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]] was given her own ship, and Lily was assigned as her first officer.
* '''Mother''': [[Tayler-Ventu, Matilda|Matilda Tayler-Ventu]]
===='''Tiger'''====
**Born 2325 (age 61), retired freighter captain (''SS Inevitably Successful Always''). Currently employed by the [[ma:Department of Temporal Investigations|Department of Temporal Investigations]] in the 26th century following a happy accident aboard the ''[[Victory]]''
The '''Tiger''''s first mission, in which it encountered the [[Reapers]], was an unqualified disaster. Nearly one-third of the crew perished when the Reapers attacked, and it was only thanks to the quick assistance of the newly-discovered [[Avor]] race that the ship was not destroyed.
* '''Father''': Jarin Ventu
**Born 2320 (age 66), retired Federation News Network reporter.


====Siblings====
During the '''Tiger''''s layover and refit, Lily finally married Hayden Reynolds, and also requested a period of leave to attend a counseling conference on [[Betazed]]. The conference turned into a first contact scenario when a non-human race named the [[Senmeten]] initiated contact with the group, which included a number of telepaths.  
* '''Adopted Sister''': [[Ventu, Alexa|Alexa Paiva Ventu]]
**Born 2367 (age 19), adopted sister (from the Borderlands stay). Currently lives with Jarin on [[ma:Earth|Earth]].


====Grandparents====
Just after the conference and her return to the '''Tiger''', Lily discovered that she was pregnant, and it was this discovery that led her to request a transfer to [[Starbase 118]].
* '''Paternal Grandmother''': Eleanor, born 2295 (age 91). Retired medical doctor. Occasionally assists with ''Holo-Medicine for the Rest of Us'', a do-it-yourself-diagnosis series of medical holoprograms.
====Starbase 118====
* '''Paternal Grandfather''': John, born 2293. Deceased.
Lily and Hayden moved to Starbase 118, and Lily took up a job as diplomatic attaché to the region in the hope that it would be primarily a desk job. Although it was, ostensibly, it was barely a few weeks after she'd given birth to [[Ventu, Rhys|her son]] that she was ordered back to duty to deal with a major event, a mysterious Klingon pandemic and the visitation of a Klingon opera company. When an opera star was murdered, Quinn was arrested for the crime and Lily and Hayden were both part of the team that went to rescue her.
* '''Maternal Grandmother''': Eva, born 2293 (age 93). Retired Starfleet officer. Rose to the rank of captain. Sometimes consults with Starfleet.
* '''Maternal Grandfather''': Stephen, born 2298 (age 88). Retired engineer.  


====Close Friends====
Following the rescue, Lily was assigned as temporary CO to the '''USS Prospero''' for a series of war games with the '''USS Crazyhorse'''. During the course of the games, Lily and her crew were captured by a group of alien extremists who had taken over the homeworld of a gas giant species called the Lysandro. With Lily's team's help, the Lysandro were able to defeat their attackers, and Lily and her team were subsequently rescued.
* '''[[Koveski, Sameth|Sam Koveski]]''': Current aide-de-camp to Lily's commanding officer. Served a similar function for her as ambassador. Has known Lily since their days as junior officers aboard ''Victory''.
* '''[[Parks, Nick|Nick Parks]]''': An old, old friend. Has engaged in at least three "serious" relationships with Lily. Science-minded career officer.
* '''[[Hathaway, Elizabeth|Ellie Hathaway]]''': Was Hayden's student aboard the ''Independence'', and got off to a rough start with Lily. She now lives with the Reynolds-Ventus, and acts as full-time caregiver to baby Rhys.
* '''[[Reynolds, Quinn|Quinn Reynolds]]''': Met as a junior lieutenant aboard the ''Triumphant'', and was forced into the executive officer spot versus Lily's impromptu CO. Have served together much of their careers since, and Lily trusts Quinn implicitly. One of Rhys's godmothers.
* '''[[Satscher, Vojana|Vojana Satscher]]''': Has served as Lily's conscience on more than one occasion, including a memorable episode in which Lily nearly let Hayden leave, but which ultimately led to their marriage. Rhys's other godmother.


 
At the crew's leave on [[Vulcan]], Admiral [[Rocar]] of Starbase 118 announced that he was promoting Lily to commander, and that he had chosen her to succeed him as commanding officer. Lily's first task as CO was to answer the growing threat of the Klingon disease. She dispatched Ambassador [[Sharee, Delinda|Delinda Sharee]] to the Klingon Empire while she and new-FO Quinn Reynolds dealt with a species-jumping disease variant on the starbase itself.
