Vel’s parents met aboard the USS ''Catalina'' before the Dominion War, an unlikely pairing in that L’Vor was a Vulcan JAG officer and Nicolás Careno an outgoing and bombastic engineer. Vel was likewise born aboard the ''Catalina'', although she relocated to Earth along with her mother at the outbreak of hostilities between the Dominion and the Federation. Nicolás would die when the ''Catalina'' was destroyed during the war in 2374, and Vel would grow up with no real memory of him. | Vel’s parents met aboard the USS ''Catalina'' before the Dominion War, an unlikely pairing in that L’Vor was a Vulcan JAG officer and Nicolás Careno an outgoing and bombastic engineer.

Eventually, Vel would discover physical activity as a means to achieve focus and soothe her savage temper. She took particular interest in the Vulcan martial art of ''Suus Mahna'', and would join the martial arts team at Starfleet Academy when she re-took her entrance exam and was admitted later that year. | Eventually, Vel would discover physical activity as a means to achieve focus and soothe her savage temper.

While she has never truly reconciled herself with her Vulcan heritage and still makes a point of finding her own way without the teachings of Surak, she no longer shuns or violently rejects this part of her culture. Nevertheless, to look at her with her brightly-colored hair and penchant for dramatic flair, one would be hard-pressed to believe she was of the same ilk as the sensible, logical Vulcans. | |||
===<font color=b8860b>'''Academic Background'''</font>=== | |||
Vel attended the Starfleet Academy campus at Agora on the Tellarite homeworld of Tellar. Although living on Earth at the time of her acceptance, she opted to attend an off-world campus partly to satisfy her wanderlust and partly to escape the auspices of her mother and step-father. | |||
At the Academy, Vel majored in Engineering and Security with a focus on warp propulsion theory and physics. Her grades suffered at times as she tended to get distracted by extracurricular activities (namely sports), but she managed to keep her grades an an acceptable enough level to stand out and graduate twenty-third in her class. | |||
