===Family Background===

Growing up she continued to hear more and more stories from friends and her remaining family, of heroes, ordinary people who fought for the survival of her planet, people who were not part of the military who resisted in other ways or who resisted in unconventional ways.  The stories had an impact and made her think she could find ways to serve in ways that did not involve directly picking up a weapon.

=== The Oddas Family ===

===The Ijos - Family in All But Name===

; Ijo Teevin: The father of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and until 239406.29<ref name="twoparties" /> was the head of the History Department at Bajor Academy of Technical and Military Sciences.  A man who does not like discuss his own past in the Resistance but does not shy from it, finds there are nonetheless people around him who are willing to embarrass him by telling of his heroic deeds.  Brags about Aria as if she were his own daughter, and treats [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine]] and [[Katya_Pavlova|Katya]] as if they were grandchildren.  Introduced Aria to Kali-fal at too early of an age.

; [[Brayden Jorey]]: Considered by Aria to be a true, if unlikely, friend Jorey is Aria's opposite in almost every way.  When she first arrived at the [[Embassy]] she found his confidence in her abilities overwhelming to the point she assumed he was just trying to bolster a junior officer. It took quite a while for her to warm up to him, recognizing his concern and outward nature as genuine concern.  During a trip to go dancing in the holodeck<ref>http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?shipid=17&simnum=2457793</ref><ref>http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?shipid=17&simnum=2457794</ref> she realized not only did he truly have her best interest at heart, but she trusted him as one of her few close friends.

Aria tries to listen to the opinions of those around her, but sometimes to their chagrin and even her own detriment, she will not often back down after making a decision.  Stubborn is a word sometimes used to describe her by others, steadfast is a word she uses to describe herself.   

While not still an Engineer on a daily basis, she still finds time to do Engineering work and is most at home working out math and engineering problems. When studying a problem her eyes light up as she considers all ramifications and dark alleys of the solution.

====Undergraduate====

Aria was once ordered to retake ENG121: Colossal Failures in Engineering, when she submitted a paper during a seminar (ENGSEM: Subspace Telemetry and Improvements over the Past Century) in which she argued the [http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Argus_Array Argus Array] could be upgraded to outperform newer equipment.  She fought the decision and ultimately prevailed, but the visiting professor never accepted her premise or conclusions.

===Warp XV Engine===

===Postings===

Aria reluctantly accepted the posting of First Officer of the Embassy on 239404.13 and earned her promotion to full Commander following the [[Return_to_Paradise_(Embassy_of_Duronis_II)|first contact]] with the [[Ewo]] and [[Vouaht]] on 239410.05.  Following her work on the subsequent mission, and with [[Toni Turner|Admiral Turner]] seeing the need to place a full-time Commanding Officer aboard the [[USS Thunder-A]] she was placed aboard as the joint Commanding Officer alongside [[Brayden Jorey]], a post she held until shortly after she and her co-commander routed [[Fortuna_(Embassy_of_Duronis_II)|slave traders]] from Cairdeas station.   

===Other Important Events===

The confrontation and subsequent replacement have reminded Aria of the assimilation process.  In an attempt to deal with the emotional trauma, or avoid it, Aria began studying the arm's power systems, sensors, and other systems in order to understand them.  She stopped when she had made the power 8% more efficient, the sensors 10% more sensitive along her fingertips, and installed a remote kill switch.  The upgrades came at the expense of it becoming slightly more sensitive to hard hits and similar events, causing it to need to be reset during particularly explosive encounters.
