Born to a Vulcan deep cover spy (T’Laia) and Romulan military doctor (Garavan) during the days of Romulan isolation. The first decade of Sindrana’s life was spent into relative peace, until two things happened at nearly the same time. The first was that her mother was almost killed in a shuttle accident, the results of which led to the second: The revelation that T’Laia had married a Romulan and given birth to Sindrana. T’Laia was subsequently given the command to pull out. However she would only do so with her husband and child, and so with great difficulty Sindrana and her parents were all smuggled out of Romulan territory and settled on Vulcan.

Sindrana spent the rest of her childhood and young adulthood on Vulcan, learning to adapt to the Vulcan culture and their dispassionate view of life. She was largely successful. During her school years Sindrana consistently did well at things dealing with direct personal contact or that dealt with living things in general. So she excelled at things like biology, psychology, sociology, but at the same time struggled with higher mathematics, physics, and other more theoretical or abstract science. Taking excellence courses to prepare her for college courses she took on Biochemistry which challenged her. Where it related to the biological she did well but the more complex chemical formulae were challenging. However it was that chemistry knowledge that she struggled with earlier on that really helped her when she made the choice to go to medical school and worked towards a psychology major.

So she excelled at things like biology, psychology, sociology, but at the same time struggled with higher mathematics, physics, and other more theoretical or abstract science. Taking excellence courses to prepare her for college courses she took on Neuroscience which challenged her. but it was this knowledge that really helped her when she made the choice to go to medical school and worked towards a psychology major.  


Her Thesis paper for her psychological studies was WEAPONIZING THE MIND. She had done a lot of work with analyzing the mind and how psychology related to psionics, especially in races that were already predisposed to it. She had started off with Vulcans and Betazoids, but then branched out into other telepathic species, some of which were Vulcanian subgroups . . to include the Romulans. After two years of work her doctoral thesis was rejected. She was never given a reason why . . at least not then. Only that she had to come of with something else. Sindrana's her second project: PHARMACEUTICAL PSYCHOLOGY studied the growing prevalence and the danger of using new age drugs to heal, not only minds dealing with trauma but also minds that had been broken through psionic mishap. She saw it as a way to merge her pre-med biochemistry with psychology and some of the psionic studies she found so fascinating. There was no mentions of Romulans or their subgroups. Sindrana felt that it was not as good as her first. But to her surprise it was accepted. Weeks later a David Emmerson Bauers had arrived at her door with her paper on 'Weaponizing the Mind' in hand and she was recruited into the intelligence agency. She was told that is was due to her telepathic talent, but it was quickly apparent that it was also for her telepathic research into the Roumlans. So it was that Sindrana had just finished most of her medical and psychological course work and now she was also being trained as a highly proficient intelligence agent, with specialties in: Infiltration, Intelligence and Telepathic Defense Training on Vulcan and Betazed.

Her personal combat skills are excellent, but do not translate well into starship combat. She can fly shuttle well enough to get from point A to point B, but she could never be called an ace pilot. And she was marginally passable in dog fighting styles of combat, but the biggest complaint her instructors had was that she ended up being more of a 2D thinker and she succeeded only by ‘out thinking’ or 'psyching out' her opponent rather than out flying. And as difficult as that was for her, flying and fighting in the larger ships where she cannot see anything except through a monitor or, worse yet, a sensor screen, were a significant challenge for her. "Too much between her and the other person." Also she is good at the intelligence side of things and can operate the machinery with an adequate amount of skill, fixing things that are more electronic in nature or that require more than basic computer knowledge are a challenge for her. She is capable of utilizing many different types of devices to forfill her duties fixing or doing extensive modifications is a whole different matter.
