She passed, but it gave her a life long hatred of the desert. Her father disappeared shortly before her kahs-wan under mysterious circumstances, and Meidra has never gotten over it. Something tried to kill her during the ritual trek across the desert, and her father appeared to save her. No one believed he had been there, so Meidra quickly decided that following the path of logic over truth was not the path she wanted to take. | She passed, but it gave her a life long hatred of the desert.

Her mother spent the next thirty three years taking the three siblings to different worlds, encouraging them to learn as many languages and customs as they could, making it a competition. She seemed calculating and distant to the many beings they met along the way, but still tried her best to protect her family.

After a chance meeting with her cousin Alieth, Meidra decided to join Starfleet at age forty six. She was tired of feeling like she was an outsider with the people who should accept her without reservation. Her grandfather was not pleased, but Alieth helped Meidra study for the entrance exam and escape from her grandfather's 'protection'. Meidra is fluent in 10 languages, and passable in many more. She sometimes switches between languages when she is nervous, or angry. | |||
Her Vulcan grandfather wants Meidra to honor her family by marrying the son of a wealthy clan and giving up all thoughts of a career. She answered that plan by publicly denouncing the proceedings as an archaic relic no longer needed.

Needless to say, her family was not pleased by the situation. | Her Vulcan grandfather wants Meidra to honor her family by marrying the son of a wealthy clan and giving up all thoughts of a career.
