The people around her, most of her classmates, friends, and all of her family, were interested in picking up phasers so they could go and become 'Heros of the Resistance', but during her scavenging efforts she met the Resistance's engineers who kept the ships running, their weapons repaired, and kept a low profile. It was during this time she began to realize there more than one way to serve a cause. The same engineers spoke of engineering works helping entire planets and species. They spoke of learning things to help the entire galaxy, and the older ones spoke as if Starfleet was the way to help as many people as possible for as little effort expended. | The people around her, most of her classmates, friends, and all of her family, were interested in picking up phasers so they could go and become 'Heros of the Resistance', but during her scavenging efforts she met the Resistance's engineers who kept the ships running, their weapons repaired, and kept a low profile.

When Aria decided to break the family tradition and join Starfleet it was not a popular choice in the Oddas house. Aria tried to explain it in Engineering terms: do the most good for the most people with the least effort. As she was leaving her parents insisted she not come back, her sister told her to never come home in a Starfleet uniform. | When Aria decided to break the family tradition and join Starfleet it was not a popular choice<ref>https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-embassy/G_f2SDJdvZ0/F6Mfw4-bFAAJ</ref> in the Oddas house.

As an adult Aria will admit she was not an easy child to parent. She would often disappear for a day or more at a time scavenging for parts for one project or another and would often discard rules she felt served no purpose. She was brought home by constables more than once<ref>http://sims.starbase118.net/sim.php?simnum=2452499</ref>. She often would make little to no attempt to try and reconcile with her parents after such infractions, leaving her parents feeling helpless. She never considered herself a rebel, but also never understood the need to conform to what others were doing, especially when what they are doing was dumb. | As an adult Aria will admit she was not an easy child to parent.
