- Favorite Room: Bedroom. On long assignments she brings her own, very plush, bedding. Everything is done in dark purple and silver.
- Mannerisms: In meetings, Sabina will lean back in her chair while listening intently. She can look fairly calculating at times.
- Religion/Spiritual Devotion: Sabina practices a Betazoid spiritually that includes beliefs in multiple deities as well as spirits.

- Achievements in Life: Tiam is proud to have left home and joined Starfleet. The break it caused with her family has been difficult, but she sees her graduation from the Academy as an accomplishment made all the more rewarding for the independence she needed to achieve it.
- Disappointments in Life: A child during the Dominion attack on Betazed, Sabina has always been disappointed she wasn't able to assist in the defense of her home.
- Temperament: Sabina is a very polite and friendly officer. But she carries the Betazoid trait of openness and has a rebellious spirit. Consequently, she is often thought of as someone who would say anything, to anyone. Some colleagues and authority figures have found this to be useful and are grateful she speaks her mind. Still others have thought her to be brash and speak at inappropriate times.
Early Life
Born in Ritva, a small town in a northern mountain range on Betazed, Sabina grew up helping her mother and father attend to the temple in their town. There, Sabina's mother taught the religion of Betazed to children and adult practitioners alike. As such, she was homeschooled most of her life. Her father worked in the Betazoid government and was absent often. But he was a caring and active parent while home.
Tiam attended the University of Betazed at age 16. While she was academically talented, her main motivation was to get away from home. Her parents had grown to expect that she take over their duties at the temple. While Sabina is religious, she craved more out of her life. Begrudgingly, her parents allowed her to attend the University, but they stayed skeptical.
Their worry would prove wise. Sabina learned two things at University: communicating verbally with non-Betazoids may never be her strong suit and she needed more than that small, mountain town. At the end of her time at University, Sabina applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Acadeny. She left for San Francisco the day of graduation from UofB. It was an emotional day. Sabina had never been off world and that was the first her parents heard of her application to Starfleet.
After a brief period of bitterness, her parents did eventually get over the slight. They do worry constantly and often ask when she will come home to finally wed the man they bonded her to so long ago. That particular move is not currently on her agenda.
