Her most problematic issue is her claustrophobia; a rather unique case. Ayiana did not grow up with it, but instead acquired the fear of close spaces after being Joined with the symbiont, Sevo. For a couple of years, she didn't know why, until [[Ayiana_Sevo_Disjoined_Arc|one mission]] early into her Starfleet career on board the ''Victory'' caused Ayiana to fall into a coma. With the help of Lt. [[Talia Kaji]], Ayiana discovered that her claustrophobia originated with the symbiont Sevo. It had a traumatic pre-joined spawning period where it acquired the fear. It subsequently passed its claustrophobia on to its hosts, although Ayiana is the only one it has affected so drastically. | Her most problematic issue is her claustrophobia; a rather unique case.

* '''Swimming:''' Living in a coastal city, Ayiana gained an appreciation for the beach at an early age. She would often swim in the ocean, and subsequently at school. She also joined the Trill Campus of Starfleet Academy swim team, winning a few awards and medals during her time. Ayiana is most notably accomplished in the 400- and 800-meter swim lengths. After Joining, she gained increased agility and endurance, necessitating her reassignment to the Joined Women's Division. | * '''Swimming:''' Living in a coastal city, Ayiana gained an appreciation for the beach at an early age.

** '''Cramped Spaces:''' Unusually, Ayiana developed severe claustrophobia only after being Joined with Sevo. She can control her anxiety in places like Jefferies tubes in normal ship duties, but in high-stress situations when her mind is distracted, Ayiana may start having anxiety attacks. Counseling is ongoing. | ** '''Cramped Spaces:''' Unusually, Ayiana developed severe claustrophobia only after being Joined with Sevo.

** '''Disappointing People:''' Ayiana hates to disappoint people, especially her Commanding Officer and career mentor, Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]]. It was extremely heartbreaking for her when Reynolds removed Ayiana from the post of First Officer. | ** '''Disappointing People:''' Ayiana hates to disappoint people, especially her Commanding Officer and career mentor, Rear Admiral [[Quinn Reynolds]].

====Ambitions and Goals==== | ====Ambitions and Goals==== | ||
Ayiana was never particularly ambitious, but circumstances very early in her Starfleet career quickly rocketed her up the ranks. Within half a year upon being posted to her first assignment, the {{USS|Victory}}, Ayiana was a Lieutenant and Chief of the Science Department. At first, Ayiana was reluctant, and pretty overwhelmed, with the prospect of running an entire department. However, she eventually became satisfied with the position. She has not ruled out the possibility of command one day. In fact, her dream is to one day command a ''Vesta-''class starship. | |||
Her other passion remains firmly in the realm of the sciences. Ayiana frequently writes articles within the scientific community, and hopes to one day earn the coveted {{ma|Nobel Prize}} or {{ma|Zee-Magnees Prize}}. | |||
====Personal Achievements and Disappointments==== | ====Personal Achievements and Disappointments==== | ||
[[Image:Ayiana_Sevo_Academy_Swimmer_1.jpg|thumb|right|Ayiana on the Academy swim team.]]Without a doubt, Ayiana's most important accomplishment in her early life was being Joined. It is an incredibly difficult and arduous path to be chosen, and almost all applicants fail or drop out. While she thought the Joining would be completely beneficial to her, Ayiana eventually discovered that there was a lot more to being Joined than simply gaining memories of past lives. She also acquired the positive and negative aspects of each prior hosts' personalities; from gaining the ability to understand music, to fear of claustrophobia. | |||
Being a bookworm and knowledge geek, Ayiana was thrilled to finally get her Starfleet diploma in multiple disciplines - specifically Quantum Mechanics and Subspace Mechanics. She also received a minor in Astronomy. | |||
Ayiana is particularly proud of her swimming skills, as it is a skill wholly her own, and not gifted by the Joining. During her attendance at Starfleet Academy on Trill, Ayiana placed in the top five for the 400- and 800-meter laps, as well as being adept at diving. | |||
A major setback in her career is Ayiana's emotional troubles. She has inherited a short temper from her Joining, the source still not fully understood. It has caused numerous issues in her Starfleet career, usually revolving around minor assaults of dignitaries or fellow officers. It even cost her the brief role of First Officer aboard the ''Gorkon.'' Ayiana realizes that if she truly wants a command one day, she has to master and control her emotions. | |||
====[[Ayiana Sevo/Sevo's Quarters|Living Quarters]]==== | |||
In addition to the standard-issue Starfleet furnishings, Ayiana's quarters were heavily decorated with astro-related paraphernalia, such as meteorites and crystals. Paintings and photographs of nebulae and planets hung on the walls. She has a small stone statue of Lessia, an ancient Trill goddess of knowledge and wisdom; not out of religion, but more as a reminder of her scientific dedication. Ayiana also owns a small electronic keyboard she plays from time-to-time. A perch sat in one corner for Tana, her beloved pet [https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Fenza_bird fenza bird]. Her work desk was the most personalized. Above it held a large photo of the planet Trill, with a metal sculpture of the Trill emblem, Ayiana's Academy diplomas, and official Starfleet photographs of {{ma|Jadzia Dax}} and {{ma|Ezri Dax}} also hung nearby. Dax - particularly Jadzia - had been idols of Ayiana since she was a child, and she greatly influenced Ayiana's interest in the sciences. She kept the photos by her desk to often remind herself what Jadzia would do in her situation. | |||
