* '''Mother:'''Larien D'Sani, Daughter of the Eighth House of Betazed, Holder of the Sacred Scrolls of Saraswati, Heir to the High Priestesses of Betazed. Her mother was born in the Capital City of Betazed, the daughter of Lord Evron and Lady Mai D'Sani. While growing up, Larien was exposed to many different elements of Betazoid society. Her father was a telepathic healer, and her mother a teacher. Larien decided at an early age to combine both of these elements and teach psychology. She studied both on Betazoid, and then had the opportunity to train at the Vulcan Science Academy. It was there that Larien met her future husband, Stelin of Vulcan. Larien holds advanced degrees in Psychology and Psychoneurology, and is the author of several books on both subjects. Larien was appointed an ambassador from Betazed several years ago, so she curtailed her teaching duties and now lectures sporadically at several different universities, as her ambassadorial committments permit.
==='''Mother'''===
* '''Father:''' While born into a powerful Vulcan family, Stelin, of the Family Neh'Chalick, had always felt a calling to teach. He was taught at an early age to respect the powerful philosophies of Surak, and other Vulcan philsophers. At a very young age, he developed a love of philosophy and soon began to study not only the great Vulcan writers, but also the philosophies of other worlds. Stelin continued this love and developed it into a passion that he would study at great lengths at University, evenutally earning a doctorate degree. Part of his attraction to his future wife, Larien D'Sani, came from his interest in other worlds, and her passion about his. While deciding to live on Betazed after his marriage, Stelin still keeps healthy ties to his home world, making frequent visits and teaching at the Vulcan Academy a few times every year. Stelin also helps in T'Lara's duties as head of house, which she inherited upon the death of her name-sake great-grandmother.

Line 66: Line 67:
During her time as counselor on board the Kodiak, she caught the eye of the Starfleet Diplomatic Corps. Her keen intellect, as well as her sharp negotionation skills, and her mysteriously powerful telepathic abilities were something that SDC wanted to bring into their group. T'Lara continued to be called away from duty from time to time to serve with the Dipolomatic Corp. But she always returned to her first love, Starfleet.

'''USS Kodiak'''  
==='''USS Kodiak''' ===
   
   
The first in a long line of ships that T'Lara would serve aboard, and one that she would return to time and again. When she first came aboard the Kodiak, T'Lara had no idea what she was heading into. She went from a scared young cadet to experienced officer almost immediately, however, first under the strict tutalage of Captain Laang Vedoc, then under the more gentle guidance of (then) Commander Hollis Calley.  T'Lara was priveldged enough to serve on both the Kodiak A, which was eventually destroyed, and the Kodiak B, a Norway Class ship. During her first tour of duty on the Kodiak, T'Lara served as Helm Control Operator, Tacticle Officer, Counselor and Chief Science Officer.  For a brief time during that first tour of duty, T'Lara served as First Officer under Xan Hebron, when Captain Hollis was presumed dead. When she came back to a new Kodiak a few years later, T'Lara served as Chief Operations Officer, until joining back up with Starfleet Diplomatics for one more mission.

'''USS Steadfast'''  
==='''USS Steadfast'''===


Like the Constitution, the Steadfast is a Galaxy Class Vessel, where T'Lara served twice as Ship's Counselor.

Line 104: Line 105:
It was during one such tour of duty that Russ'lk VanVoreen met T'Lara Cha'Stelin. She had been assigned to the Diplomatic Corps for a short time, in between starship assignments, and she was seriously considering it as a permanate career move. They were quickly drawn to each other, he attracted by her great beauty and high intellectualism, she by his seemingly endless supply of humor, his sense of understanding, and his ability to calm her down even when she felt as high as she could go.

'''Russ'lk and T'Lara: A Match Made'''  
==='''Russ'lk and T'Lara: A Match Made''' ===
   
   
Their matching was something that brought great joy to T'Lara's family, as well as Russ'lk's. Their parents had been aquantances for many years, and while T'Lara and Russ'lk didn't know each other personally, they ran in the same social circles on the Betazoid homeworld. It seemed, at least to most, that destiny was working it's own way to bring the two together.

'''[[Karawati|Saraswati]]'''  
==='''[[Karawati|Saraswati]]''' ===
   
   
Saraswati is the "Mother Goddess" of Betazed. She is often dipicted in art as pregnate, with her belly filled with stars and other celestial bodies. The name "Saraswati" translates as "Galaxy Bearing" and thus, it is widely accepted that this Goddess of the Stars is the Mother of the Universe.
