Mavenni Siyel: Difference between revisions

Mavenni Siyel has lived a life of service since growing up as a young noble on Betazed during the 2340s. Receiving the finest education per her family and house's high status in Betazed society, Mavenni originally thought she would pursue a career as a scientist, like many other prominent women from the "House of Science and Mysticism." Mavenni's own mother was a biochemist, and her grandmother had been a famed physicist, who had lectured at universities all across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

The Dominion War and the occupation of Betazed in 2374 changed Mavenni's life trajectory irrevocably. Taking care of her second child who'd just been born earlier that year, Mavenni's mother and next head of the Siyel family was killed by Jem'Hadar troops in retaliation for attacks on a Dominion command post by Betazed resistance fighters. While Mavenni had been prepared to eventually take on the duties of a Mother of the Second House, she thought she would have more time. Following the war, she supported her grandmother's official duties by serving as her representative at various charity and social functions. Her passion after the war focused on helping victims of the Dominion occupation and encouraging more investment in Betazed's engineering research and infrastructure technology--the planet's aging defensive systems having played a large part in its humiliating capitulation to the Dominion attack. She became an active board member of the Daughters of the Betazed Liberation service organization and also sits on the boards of several other major Betazed foundations. Her husband Dr. Caasmed Bri took care of raising their three children while continuing his own scientific career in polymer chemistry to allow Mavenni to travel extensively for her work.
