Kaji is a very lighthearted woman.  She enjoys games, children and pranks.  Casual and friendly with everyone, she occasionally gets in trouble by being too informal, especially with higher-ranking officers.  She has a terrible tendency to poke her nose into other people's business.

On the USS Columbia, Kaji lives in Senior Officer's Quarters on Deck 9 with her son Ben.  Their living space is very cluttered and vividly decorated. Kaji loves bold colors and prints, so the spaces are crowded with artwork, throw pillows, and children's toys.  Ben is quite messy, and the apartment is often a tornado of sticky fingerprints and crumbs.  Kaji has brought a lot of art from her home on Rodul where it is an important part of the culture. They also have a Holographic Nanny who lives with them to care for Ben anytime Kaji has to work late. Her name is [[Mrs Fluffy]].

Kaji likes to be comfortable. When she is in uniform, her sleeves are often rolled up to her elbows to make work easier. She often gets a uniform slightly bigger than her size to make movement easier.  Her off-duty wardrobe is mostly loose, brightly colored sweaters and tunic shirts over thin trousers. She likes to leave her hair loose, though she will pull it back for serious medical work.

Her on-duty shoes are always sensible, orthopedic slip-on shoes.  Years of working in a trauma unit have trained her to wear shoes that help her stay on her feet for days.  She rarely wears shoes in her quarters, but will wear her everyday shoes when she goes out.

From ages 25-60 Talia worked as a doctor in a local practice.  She was trained as a general practitioner, treating all manner of basic conditions.  She focused on obstetrics in particular.  In general, she very much enjoyed being a simple country doctor, but she began to dream of adventure.  The Idanii region of Rodul hosted a very severe and reserved culture.  Kaji's enthusiasm and thirst for excitement began to affect her relationships. Talia finally decided to move and search for a more meaningful life in the city.

Talia found a job at a large hospital in Rodul's capital city of Tikan, where she started working in the emergency room.  The pace of her new life was overwhelming at first, but she adjusted and began to enjoy the thrill of trauma work.  Her experience in general medicine helped her with the various illnesses and injuries present in emergency care, but she found the trauma work more interesting.  She loved the work, and kept the position for the next thirty years.  She also began studying, working towards a surgery position.

Kaji had very few relationships while she was living in Idanii.  She lived near her moms and siblings, and her friends were all fellow doctors and nurses.  After moving to Tikan, she fell into similar patterns at first.  Her moms began pushing her towards fining a companion and making more friends.  So Talia began to socialize.  She spent a lot of time in her fifties dating, but found the men (and one or two women) boring and ordinary.  Deciding to focus on non-romantic relationships, Kaji focused on helping her friends and becoming overly involved in their various issues.  She developed a bad habit of being too curious and tying to fix things.

At age 86, she met Ensign Kyo Maeda, assigned to the UFoP Embassy. He had taken down an intruder in the Rodul Embassy and been badly wounded, ending up on her operating table.  He smiled at her, and she was hooked.  Kyo was a very quiet man, with a subtle-but-wicked sense of humor.  They talked a lot while he was in recovery, and after he was discharged, he asked her out on a date.  He made a point to visit her every time he came to the hospital for physical therapy.

Their relationship was strong from the beginning.  Talia's enthusiasm and Kyo's stoic strength complemented each other well.  He was a very simple and honest man, so her telepathy didn't bother him very much, and he adjusted rather quickly.  Talia's greatest struggle was the difference in their species, particularly their different life-spans.As Kyo and Talia's relationship grew more serious, they began to discuss a more permanent commitment.  Kyo was interested in the Rodulan bond-pairing.  Though he couldn't sense Talia's thoughts, they believed the commitment of sharing and creating a  thought, a dream, was the most intense vow they could imagine.

Before their move, Talia found out she was pregnant.  It wasn't planned, but she and Kyo were thrilled.  Rodulans very much discourage unplanned pregnancies, and the Kaji Family tried to force Talia to return home so her older family could raise the child.  Kaji and Maeda decided to leave Rodul to make a new life on their own.  Talia  joined Starfleet to give her the freedom she desired, and Kyo requested a transfer to a new ship. The process took about a year, and meanwhile, they welcomed a newborn Benjiro Maeda Kaji into their family.

Nearing graduation, Kaji requested assignment to the Embassy.  Once it was approved, she sent Ben to live with Maeda while she finished exams. Talia was sent to Starbase 118 for finals and graduation.

Taila Kaji attended the Starfleet Academy affiliated campus on Aldebaran.  Already having so much experience in the medical field, she was able to test out of many classes and finished the academy in two and a half years, focusing on Starfleet regulations and alien physiology.  Nearing graduation, Kaji requested assignment to the Duronis II Embassy.  She was sent to Starbase 118 for finals and graduation, and her first posting was as a Medical officer on the USS Thunder-A, attached to the Duranis II Embassy.

Kaji's time on the Embassy and it's support ship was professionally successful, but personally tumultuous.  She arrived near the end of the Bluegil invasion and aided the medical staff.  During the recovery time, she quickly proved her worth by organizing the remaining medical staff.  Talia made friends quickly on the Embassy, primarily with the Gorn First Officer, Commander Nugra.  The two had some disputes over medical treatment, but grew to accept each other.

In the middle of her first full mission, Kaji was forced to take leave after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.  The rupture and surgery left her unable to have any more children.  Kaji recovered slowly from the injury, returning to work as soon as she could manage.  Her hard work saw her promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and assigned the position of Chief Medical Officer, lacking any higher-ranking medical officers.  The new responsibilities helped her bounce back emotionally from the trauma, though her partner, Maeda, did not recover so quickly.

Kaji's telepathic powers gradually became harder and harder to control.  Debilitating headaches soon began to interfere with her job performance.  Added to the trouble was the stress of a swiftly collapsing personal relationship with Maeda Kyo.  When her telepathic abilities made her unable to work, Kaji approached Commander Nugra to help her get into a meditation and psionic training course on Vulcan.  He arranged for her leave and she soon left, though not before having a serious fight with Kyo.

While her first mission aboard, Kaji felt pretty useless, she was able to learn a lot about herself and her emotional state. She realized she needed to take a break and get some counseling herself. A short duty tour on a research project was a great way for her to escape for a couple of months to try and figure some things out. One issue she found herself dealing with was her growing feelings towards her former Captain, Nugra.

She ended up working at the Obsidia Colony as a reseacher on a virus for six months. Much of her off-duty time she spent in sessions with her counselor, Genevieve. By the time Genevieve convinced her to return to active duty, Kaji had been able to work through much of her PTSD. Genevieve also assigned her to a ship where several of her close friends were posted, in order for her to have a support network.
