Despite her hard head, Kali still considers her family to be fairly close knit, though in a way that is different than most people would think. Her father rarely showed emotions other than disappointment and approval. He was a Marine's Marine through and through just like his father before him. Unlike her grandfather though, Kali's father Mikhail never approved of her learning to fly the old fighter plane or of her interest in the violent and masculine world of Marines. He is a unique man; torn between the equality of the modern times and the need to protect his wife and female child from the horrors of war, violence, pain, and suffering. It's not that he doesn't think women can do what men can, but he would rather Kali and her mother remain in a position where he could keep them safe. Of course Kali, with some coaching from her grandfather, found a way to respectfully disagree, ultimately ending in her enlistment in the Marines. | Despite her hard head, Kali still considers her family to be fairly close knit, though in a way that is different than most people would think.

Mikhail comes from a long line of Marines and military officers. His own mother, Kali's now deceased grandmother, was meticulous at keeping family genealogical records that dated back to the early 1700's. Scattered information from dates prior to that only outlined where the family name came from. Originally from Venice, the Russian derivative of the Nicola name, Nicholotti, first emerged in the 1400's after The Great Migration; a time period where many left Europe for North America and Eastern Europe to what would become the Russian Federation. After their arrival in Russia, the family established itself in the military where many members rose to command ranks throughout the centuries. | [[Nicholotti, Mikhail I|Mikhail]] comes from a long line of Marines and military officers.

Kali's mother, Keito | Kali's mother, [[Nicholotti, Keito|Keito Kaji]], married into the family after meeting Mikhail in Tokyo where he had been stationed. At the time, he was a training officer and enjoyed more free time and time at home than other Starfleet jobs. Kali was born two years after they were married, in 2360. While her family line was never kept as meticulous as the Nicholotti tree, it can be traced back to 20th century Japanese politicians and scientists. Kali's appearance seems to favor her mother's side, but her personality mirrors that of her father and grandfather with a notable hard head and strong sense of duty. | ||
Mikhail Nicholotti Senior, known to Kali as Hawk - his callsign from his days as a pilot and Marine - died about a year after Kali joined the Marines herself. Kali took it hard as she was closer to him than her own father. The death spurred her to seek out Officer Candidacy, a dream that was realized in 2382 when she was accepted into the Starfleet Academy division for the Marine Corps. | [[Nicholotti, Mikhail V|Mikhail Nicholotti Senior]], known to Kali as Hawk - his callsign from his days as a pilot and Marine - died about a year after Kali joined the Marines herself.
