Personal Information
Manner
- Quarters: Rune's quarters are simply and minimally decorated in modest earth-tone colors, with standard-issue furniture. There's a simple Al-Leyan tapestry, a gift from her mentor, hanging on the wall and a few small sculptures and plants scattered about on the shelves. Lighting is kept at 50% and the environmental controls are adjusted to provide a more comfortable living environment.
- Habits/Mannerisms: Slight tilting of head when trying to understand something. Clenching of jaw when trying to hide anger or annoyance.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Follows religious, spiritual, cultural beliefs and laws of The Fallen Branch but has recently began to question her beliefs.
- Physical Limitations: As with all Al-Leyans, she has a poor sense of taste and smell. Her visual acuity is reduced in daylight/brighter conditions. Because the Al-Leyan homeworld has a denser atmosphere than that produced on StarFleet vessels, Rune requires steroid based medication to counter the symptoms of asthma she suffers from breathing the thinner atmosphere.
- Mental problems (complexes and phobias): Hates closed in spaces when it relates to man made constructs. Ironically, she is fine when it comes to natural spaces such as caves.

Friends
 |
T'Lea Friend: Historian & Archaeological Specialist aboard USS Invicta Lt. Cmdr. T'Lea and Rune have what could be considered a love/hate friendship. T'Lea is one of the few people Rune trusts completely and she's the only one who knows about the Attitude Readjustment Therapy Rune was forced to have when she was 16. Having been invited to T'Lea's wedding to Ambassador Della Vetri, Rune used the opportunity to give T'Lea a data chip in the form of a pendant. The data chip is Rune's insurance policy against her mentor. However, neither women know the full content of the data chip or the damage that could be done if the information is revealed. |
Romantic Relations
|
Special Note: Al-Leyans don't usually pursue romantic relationships unless they are going through what is called seasons roughly every 4-5 years, generally lasting 4-8 days. may have one or several mates in one season and may have different mates from season to season and may not even keep in touch with a mate after the season ends unless conception occurs. As they mature they learn the value of companionship and many settle down with a mate and the companionship can last anywhere between a few years to the rest of their natural lives. |

Nikki Ryan Ex Rune had been struggling with the idea of having a relationship with Dr. Nikki Ryan. Her hesitation stemmed from the fact that her attraction to women and mating outside her race (species) is strictly forbidden in Al-Leyan society. Even though she has broken ties with her people, she still struggles with allowing herself to actually be free to live the way she wants. It should also be noted that her first season* was not very successful nor, in her opinion, very pleasant. Things got rather complicated when Rune began experiencing an early on-set of season*, which was somehow triggered by having a foreign compound or hormone injected into her system. Exactly how and why are still unknown but it was determined that medical could not stop or reverse the effects of the compound. The compound was discovered by Nikki and Dr. Anen Sonbef. Feeling that Nikki overstepped her bounds, Rune ended their friendship. She admits that she may regret it later but she felt she had to end it. |

Collim Kieran Fiancée - Bonded? With her friendship with Nikki ended, Rune had no one else to turn to for help. That was until Lt. Cmdr. Collim Kieran came to talk to her after noticing that something was wrong with Rune. Rune confided in Kieran and Kieran offered to help, no strings attached... A couple months later, things got even more complicated (if that's even possible). Rune found out she was pregnant... how, who and why is still unknown, though Rune has her suspicions.
Upon finding out about the pregnancy, Kieran expectantly proposed to Rune... Rune accepted. |

Being a conservative and practical race and as a result of only mating every few years, Al-Leyans do not value same sex pairings. They consider the purpose of the seasons and mating to be to produce offspring. For similar reasons contraception is prohibited. Al-Leyan females are brought up to believe that carrying children is natural and good, it is something to enjoy and look forward to. With babies being taken from parents at birth it could be said that having children has a minimal impact on the Al-Leyan mother’s life and branch progression. If someone falls out of line and doesn't follow this or other laws or behavioral policies established in the Fallen Branch, efforts would be made by friends, family and advisors or mentors to make such a person see reason. If they refuse to mend their way of thinking then they would have to have attitude readjustment therapy (or reconditioning) to correct the problem. |
And that's where Rune's problem comes in... she is attracted to women, not men. She's never acted on it but just having the attraction is a no no in Al-Leyan society. So when she first confided in her mentor, 10 years ago she underwent what was suppose to be attitude readjustment therapy. However, during an away mission, Strange Acquaintances she was exposed to a hallucinogenic compound which caused a break down of what was actually done to her. Through flashbacks and returning memories, she realized the therapy was far more than normal, though she has yet to discover everything that was done or the real reason why it was done to her.
Once her memories came back, she confronted her mentor who, in turn, demanded she return home to undergo the therapy again. Rune refused and cut off communication with her homeworld. The problem now is, she's terrified of the Al-Leyans Council will send someone for her and force her to have the therapy.
