Oddas Aria: Difference between revisions

After Aria's shunning by her family, she felt alone, isolated, and generally as shut off from the world as she ever had.  Combined with the death of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]] she assumed she would never have a home of her home ever again.  She was surprised to find Alea's parents recognizing her pain, fighting through their own, and treating her as their own daughter, always managing to find her and offering her the support she desperately needed.  Accepting Aria's non-Bajoran Family into their own, even going so far as to calling Jazmine and Katya grandchildren and making it known they Ijo Estate would be given to Aria in the event of their passing.

Aria, through years of interaction, has deduced there was some sort of tension between the two Bajoran families (Ijo and Oddas) stemming from the time of the Occupation.  The Ijos are too polite to mention it outright and Aria is not on speaking terms to ask her family what it is about.

; <span id="Ijo">Ijo Alea</span> : Deceased Fiance, and friend since secondary school, who had planned to attend Starfleet at the same time as Aria.  During a hike, the year before they were scheduled to leave for the Academy Alea was crushed under a rock slide.  Aria's family had hoped, not secretly, that Alea's death would weaken Aria's desire to go to Starfleet, but the opposite happened.  Alea had planned to go to the academy alongside Aria and unbeknownst to Aria's parents the couple had exchanged promise bracelets - designed and crafted by Aria - in the days leading up to Ijo's death.  When her parents pressured her to stay on Bajor after the death, Aria realized that her desire to go was stronger than ever.

; Ijo Cada: The mother of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and someone who has stepped in as a 'surrogate' mother figure to Aria after the death of Alea.  Aria calls her 'Mother Cada' and is likely to write to her or visit her when thinking of home.  Aria knows few concrete details of Cada's time during the Resistance, but innuendo, stories told, and things Cada knows leads Aria, and everyone around her, to believe she was of some importance in the intelligence gathering field.  She insists she is a 'retired Bajoran Housewife', but she seems to know a lot about everyone in her family, which now includes characters ranging from Aria, to [[Irina Pavlova]] to [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine Snow]].

; 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.

: Aria went on to receive her ''Ph.D.'' based primarily on her work on the ''Warp XV Engine''.  She successfully defended her Dissertation on Stardate 239602.16.  Her Dissertation was entitled ''The Discovery of a Multitude of Subspace Layers and the Ramifications on Warp Speeds''.
