Alana Devar/Personal History: Difference between revisions

Alana Devar was born in Mestara, Betazed, just outside the Janaran Falls to Betazed Ambassador, Devyn Devar of the 13th House of Peace and Protection, and Arianna Sarrin-Devar, a highly renown Geologist. She was the middle child; Arista, being the eldest, was five years older than Alana. Galwyn, her brother and the youngest of the three, was only one year younger. Her childhood and adolescent history is a bit vague, but records do report that she started to develop empathic abilities at the age of thirteen. Also, added, being born with telepathy (as most Betazoid's develop this in adolescence), she went through intense Vulcan/Betazoid meditative and controlling techniques, strengthening a young Alana's mind, thus allowing her to not go mad with ''mental noise''. Through these lessons she learned the Vulcan mind meld (imperative for her treatments). She learned how to control her gift, much to her parent's surprise and delight. It was apparent that her telepathic prowess was exceedingly exceptional.  

It was the age of 15 that her and her family supposedly arrived on Vulcan for diplomatic matters, upon the recommendation of the Devar family friend, Tarin (who would later become Alana's mentor). Alana immediately fell in love with Vulcan, deciding to reside there after her family left. Of course this was frowned upon, but her wishes were granted. She was enrolled in the Vulcan Science Academy, for all her preliminary studies on Betazed were finished. Alana was a bright young girl, with aspirations of expanding her knowledge the best she could.  

It was there it was said she met a young Vulcan male by the name of Savek (who was undoubtedly Tarin's youngest son). Apparently, there was some history between the two. Although she's never confirmed any of the happenings vocally, it was said that the two bonded, upon the grace and encouragement of both Vulcan and Betazoid families. It was also about this time that her family was off near the Neutral Zone for diplomatic affairs with the Romulans (Alana was 16/17 at the time); needless to say, her parents and siblings were killed, along with a few ships in the massacre. Sufficient evidence was found in confirming the death of both parents and sister Arista. However, no such evidence was found in Galwyn's case; but, given the circumstances, officials deemed his fate as deceased. The news was unsettling, leaving a defenseless and emotional Alana in it's wake - she even learned the nerve pinch with ill matters in mind, but finally overcame the sadness with Tarin's help.  

After her graduation from the Vulcan Science Academy, at the age of 19, she thought to go to Starfleet herself to make a difference...to sedate a love of traveling she's always had, and to become an official Federation Officer. She breezed through the science and counseling/psychology courses, but was poor in the Engineering department. It was where she had the assistance of her friend, Makal Kora (who serves as an Engineer on the [[USS Victory]]). She had a bit of trouble, socially, in the Academy... being shy around crowds, she found herself attracted to her other friend, Horne Makra. However, she found personal affairs to be frivolous and decided to not pursue intimate affairs.  

* '''238008.01''' Upon the mission concerning her disappearance to the Mirror Universe, Alana was confronted with many personal revelations: including the very facts of her family's death and whereabouts, and finding her father's dubious mirror. This crackled something within her. She secretly went to Vulcan to purge her aching emotions... The change has only begun.  

* '''2381''' After coming to terms about many things in her life, Alana has retreated back into the arms of her people's Goddess to seek salvation and hope. With counselor Rea, she was able to put some balance to both her Vulcan teachings and Betazoid passion.  

* '''238110.01''' Finds out she is pregnant by her best friend's (LtCmd Idril Mar) twin brother, Halla Culemerwin.  

* '''238207.03''' Gives birth to her son, Keiran, on Deep Space 17.

Alana comes from a long line of Betazoid royal bloods, dating back generations upon generations.  Even though she is not in the next line to receive all her house's powers, she is an importance figure head for the family of the 13th House.

Husband of Arianna Sarrin-Devar and father to Alana and her three siblings (including half sister, Carmen Rogers). He was the son of 13th House Female Heiress, Katiya Devar who married a Betazoid artisan by the name of Sorin Gavel (he, of course, took her surname). Devyn grew up in a household with one sister by the name of Raina, who of course if the mother of Sumein. A delegate and Ambassador of the UFOP, Devyn became an influential figure for male Betazoids and fellow delegates alike. Even though he had an affair on Arianna with Wilma (Carmen's mother), Devyn dearly loved his family.  He was known for his passion on the written word and how his speeches rolled from his mouth with such fire and passion. It was from this commitment and dedication did Devyn become one of the most notable figures of StarFleet. However, the man's life was cut short by negotiations held near the Nuetral Zone. Revelations in the Mirror Universe led Alana to the real reason of her father's death -- he was imprisoned and murdered by the Mirror Alliance members.

Arianna was the daughter of a Karawati Priestess and Betazoid nobleman, but did not belong to any distinguished House, therefore, when she married Devyn she took his surname and hyphenated it to her maiden. Arianna inherited her mother's exotic looks and the uncommon "blonde" tresses, that are a rarity amongst her people. It was told to her at a young age that Karawati deemed the blonde Betazoids the keepers of the temples, although Arianna had much more decided for her life that veered her away from the religion -- that was school, where she eventually met Devyn and became a well known Geologist. Arianna was a main stay in Alana's difficult child hood when she endured excessive treatments for her telepathy. She cried for the welfare of her young daughter, finding it hard to pick to lesser of two evils: The complete numbing effects of Vulcan training or the madness of her telepathy. She would often fix her youngest daugher Amathalea Tea to sooth her nerves. Alana named her son after Arianna's father, Keiran Sarrin.

Galwyn is the youngest of three children by Devyn and Arianna, and is one year younger than Alana. At the age of the attack of his father's ship and escorts, that would make the Ambassador's only son at the age of fifteen. It has come to Alana's attention during the mission that placed her face to face to the Mirror Universe that her brother ''could'' very well be still alive. Although this has yet to be proven, she still holds hope and fears what time might of done to her baby brother.

Alana's eldest sister, Arista, was the prodigy child of her parents and was enrolled in honor schools. She had just entered the [[University of Betazed]] and completed her second semester when she took the infamous trip with her parents during leave time. A bright future was in store for this aspiring Biologist and artisan. Her paintings still hang in the walls of the 13th House. There was an unspoken rivalry between Alana and Arista; Arista, Alana felt, was brighter and more beautiful than she could ever be. Even though it was confirmed of Arista's death, she is most active in Alana's dreams. It usually comes forth during a stressful event passing in the darker-haired sister's life, when she feels most helpless and inferior. Even though Arista was the mediator through the childhood conflicts of Galwyn and Alana, the two sisters loved each other even if the rivalry pursued.

Was Alana's genetic bondmate, upon the grace and encouragement of both Vulcan and Betazoid families. Her dedication, devotion and near marriage to him came about the time her family headed towards the Neutral Zone for diplomatic affairs with the Romulans (Alana was 16/17 at the time); needless to say, her parents and siblings were killed, along with a few ships in the massacre.  Shortly after, even through promises, Savek ended the relationship with Devar when she was 17. With child at the time, he graduated the Science Academy in pursuit of Starfleet for more logical things; he felt unsatisfactory in his bondage to a Betazoid female, and did not feel the connection as strong as it should be. Be rest assured, they did not part on the most friendliest of terms (RE: Alana slapped him in the face). This tore Alana up (who eventually miscarried due to grief and medical ailments). Savek is now married with children by a Vulcan woman named T'Panu. Savek is Tarin's (Alana's Mentor and Teacher)son.

Makra and Alana met in the Academy during their first year. Even though they both had trouble adjusting socially, they found friendship in one another and another classmate, Makal Kora. The three even graduated the Cadet Cruise of Prex together. Shortly after being posted to the same ship, Alana and Makra's relationship gradually became a more romantic one and was professed as such during their trip together on Bajor (one where the usually gruff half Klingon handmade a pan of Uttaberry Crepes). They since shared numerous passionate encounters that was a lot more than just physical: but love for Alana.  She had held an attraction for him for several years, but would not admit it fearing the incident with Savek might repeat itself. Enduring many trials (ie: Serpentai Mission, et cetera), and after the wedding engagement of the two, Makra left to find a peace in himself. Having just confronted the testimonies of the true whereabouts and death of her family, Alana recoiled and slumped back into Vulcan mode where she ignored any connection with him. As time passed, Alana noted the error of her ways and sought help with Counselor T'Anya Rea, who was able to assist in melding both sides of Alana together into one. For a time she felt lost from him, and for a time he returned to her though their reunion was short lived. Having told him that she was to be his First Officer upon the transference of the Wallace, the two grew further apart. Does their love strain or will it mend through this obstacle? She uses the term [[Karawati_#Love|Imzadi]] in reference to Horne Makra, as he was the first to accept who she was and took her in full body and spirit.

Alana met this mysterious, handsome Trill man one trip back to Betazed; it was a time to recover her true course in life and stray away from the Vulcan persona that continued to hamper down the natural responses to the tragedies of her life. They shared hearty conversations and a mutual interest. Come to find out a little later, the man that she had dinner with and an enchanted walk under the blanket of Betazed stars, was the twin brother of her best friend, Idril Mar. She did not realize the irony of the situation until she met him during Idril's ritual to connect with previous hosts back on Trill. It was there she gave in to her lust and desire for him. It was unbridled and instigated by both individuals. He is the father of Alana's child, Keiran, which was the product of their one time tryst. Halla has a special place in the woman's heart, although it is yet to be seen if the budding relationship will stand the tests of time and details of their affair. He is a traveling writer.
