[[Image:Vulcan_map.jpg|thumb|355px|right|''Click to zoom in.'']] Avarin was born in | [[Image:Vulcan_map.jpg|thumb|355px|right|''Click to zoom in.'']] Avarin was born in Shi'let'theiri, a predominantly agrarian settlement located in the Vesh'V'ree'lat Valley, near the entrance to the T'Ralor Preserve, on the Han-Shir continent. The preserve is a vast wilderness area containing over 100 nearly extinct species of flora and fauna; Shi'let'theiri, because of its proximity to the preserve has become the home of botanists, herbalists, and others who work on the preserve. Because of this, there is an older section, containing the original Nel Gathic clans, and the newer section whose residents are from the larger cities. | ||
As a young child, Avarin was taught the Pleenok in the local school where her teachers noted her aptitude for mathematics and interest in technology and steered her studies accordingly. Her parents, preferring to follow their own Nel Gathic traditions, made sure to teach Avarin the Vulcan Lute and an appreciation for the artistic heritage that predated Surak. While Avarin embraced the discipline of logic, detachment from emotion proved difficult for her to master. She found that she needed time alone as much as she needed time with others. She would often take her lute and walk into the preserve, to practice in the undisturbed peace of a natural setting, and to vent the feelings she could not express through her music. | |||
