'''Swimming and Underwater Diving''': With the luxury of rivers and a lake near the family home, Valesha enjoyed swimming and often spent hours in the water with her brother. As she grew older, her love of the water expanded to include snorkelling and scuba diving. Since arriving in the Federation, she has taken full advantage of holodecks and holidays to visit a variety of diving spots. | |||
'''Martial Arts''': On the insistence of her father, Valesha is a long-term student of Ch'Vashrek. Her lessons were focused on a variation that involves rapid, hard and direct assaults intended to incapacitate as swiftly as possible. Since leaving the Empire, she practises in holodeck programs, rather than against real opponents. | |||
'''Ballet''': After resisting for years in an illusionary reality, and months thereafter in the real world, Valesha finally agreed to let [[Christopher Johns|Chris Johns]] teach her ballet when they were stationed aboard the [[USS Juneau]]. It didn't take her long to fall in love with the art and she is now a dedicated student, practising regularly under the instruction of her partner. | |||
'''Dressmaking''': Born into a house-clan of artisans and craftsmen, Valesha was encouraged to create by hand as much as possible, rather than replicate. Her brother was the cook and gardener in the household, while she turned her hand to clothes making and household maintenance. | '''Dressmaking''': Born into a house-clan of artisans and craftsmen, Valesha was encouraged to create by hand as much as possible, rather than replicate.
