'''Doctor Aribelle "Ari" Tagren''' is a woman who looks much younger than she really is, thanks to her unique heritage. She was on medical leave prior to resigning from Starfleet. She now has her own practice, but still works intimately with Starfleet Medical.

Aribelle is blend of vulnerability and strength and is known to be a bit of a loner, preferring a smaller, more intimate crowd than a larger one. She is also an incredibly private person that has a quiet strength and isn't afraid to speak up when she feels like an injustice has taken place. She also has a strong set of personal values.

She hesitates when creating lasting relationships and almost shuts down and creates distance whenever things get "too close for comfort." Secretly, she fears that any human connection and commitment will ultimately end in loss or failure. The passing of her Human father left her thinking about life and what hers meant, as it concerned others. Although she does not confuse the longevity that her blood gives her with immortality, the idea of perpetual loss in her lifetime unsettles her. This, however, doesn't stop her from creating long-lasting, meaningful friendships -- just few of them.

* '''Mother''': Lelian  
* '''Mother''': Lelian  
Lelian is a full-blooded El-Aurian and often tries to pass as Ari's sister. She is described as being frank, having deep red hair and green eyes, is small in stature but has a stare that is "deeply penetrating." She was on board the SS Lakul in 2293 and, prior to being rescued, had briefly visited the Nexus. She currently corresponds with the Federation in relief efforts to help refugees and others who have been through dire times. Aribelle describes her mother as a "cosmic traveller." She was devastated after her companion's (Tristan S. Tagren) passing, though she handled this grief differently than her daughter. This has caused a bit of a rift between the two. Ari felt that Lelian handled the death too well.

* '''Children:''' Aribelle has not given birth to any children. However, during her days as a med student, she donated some of her eggs for altruistic reasons with the intent to help Human and El-Aurian couples. This resulted in two children by a full human couple, though, a set of twins: a son by the name of [[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]] and a daughter, '''Elyia Cameron Tagren-Quinn''' to former flame, Paul Quinn, and his wife, Amy. It was cited as an unintended clinic error, though, one that was not known until the discovery was made via routine prenatal screenings during Amy’s third trimester (she thought she was carrying her own biological children, having originally went to the clinic to aid in her own fertility issues). It is long believed that Paul manipulated things and pulled some strings, though it has never been proven with clear hard evidence. The clinic had other issues and was shut down shortly thereafter.
* '''Children:''' [[Bryce Tagren-Quinn]] and Elyia Cameron Tagren-Quinn
 
=== Others ===
 
* '''[[Ah'mygahn, T'Mihn|T'Mihn Ah'mygahn]]''': Aribelle's first encounter with this unusual [[Vulcan]] was during her initial boarding of the USS Tiger-A. To celebrate promotions, the junior officers had a party in the Tiger's Den. T'Mihn got drunk off of chocolate and Aribelle practically carried her to Sickbay, where she was treated and they talked a while about T'Mihn's unique history. Aribelle finds a kindred spirit in T'Mihn, almost sisterly, and it is only amplified after their shared experience in the Reaper world. Ari admires T'Mihn for her strength and compassion.
 
* '''[[Zerxes, A'ern|A'ern Zerxes]]''': Aribelle first met Zerxes in sickbay for his boarding physical. He was in the midst of a respiratory attack and she responded with sensitivity, treating him accordingly. They shared their mutual uneasiness with being new to the crew and, later, were assigned to the away party that would lead them to the hospital of horrors on Bilire. After Bilire, they spent some time together on [[Deep Space 17]], feeling isolated yet together after the incidents of their first mission. A unique relationship has developed between the two and Aribelle is confused by her feelings for him. Before either could express how they truly felt, the pair was separated by Starfleet reassignments.
 
* '''[[Firestarter, Lance|Lance Firestarter]]''': Aribelle respected the Chief Medical Officer, Lance Firestarter, right from the start. They seemed to have a mutual understanding and respect each other's work ethics. However, with the mysterious events surrounding Firestarter and chronitons, Aribelle finds herself in the CMO's position. With Lance now in a coma and in long-term care, she feels that she has failed her former CMO.
 
* '''[[Blair, Alex|Alex Blair]]''': Alex earned Aribelle's respect when he stopped her from leaving a small gathering of Junior officers at the Tiger's Den, right before arriving Bilire IV. She had been overwhelmed by all the new people. Because of his selflessness, she could see that his character was genuine and has earned the early start of a friendship.
 
* '''[[Jorey, Brayden|Brayden Jorey]]''': Brayden and Aribelle were held captive by the Reapers. When she was promoted to Lieutenant, Jorey gave her a painting as a gift.
 
* '''[[Velana]]''': From the moment that Aribelle met Velana, she recognized that there was something different and special about her. Ari delivered Velana's child under unusual circumstances on Zakdorn IV. She considers Velana a dear friend.
 
* '''Paul Quinn''', born in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a retired Federation Captain. He formerly served as the Commanding Officer on a Sovereign class vessel, the USS Poseidon, and used to work for himself by taking assignments that the Federation simply does not have the time or interest for. His ship, the SS Valestar. Aribelle and Quinn knew each other for several decades. A former romance has been implied between the two in sim, and he once proposed to her but due to his promiscuous nature and Ari's inability to make a commitment, the two never venture down that path. On 239103.09, she received news that Paul passed away but later found out that he had faked his own death.
 
== Personal History ==
===The Early Years===
It seemed to be lust at first sight, at least to those observing the two in the beginning stages of their romance. When Tristan Tagren met Lelian on Betazed, he had just graduated from the Academy and was in awe of the woman. In his eyes, she was perfect -- flawlessly beautiful and cultured. It was almost too good to be true. The connection between the two continued beyond their one night stand and they eventually found themselves committing to each other despite the distance and time that separated them.
 
A few years into their romance, Lelian became pregnant with their first and only child. When Aribelle was born in 2315, they made a point to be together as much as they possibly could to bring stability to their young daughter. When they couldn't be together, Aribelle split her time respectively between her unmarried parents.
 
As a child, Aribelle had flowing, wavy red hair and always wore a bright, infectious smile.
 
===Teenage Years and Early Adulthood===
 
No one could really anticipate how she would mature. When she was a child, she developed and grew as any full-blooded Human. At about the age of 19, the aging process started to slow as a result from her El-Aurian side. She was considered an "adult" by the age of 30, "locked" in the body of someone in their early-twenties (by Terran standards). The aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual, based off stress, life experience and other factors.  There have been theories, with mentions of the Hayflick limit as well as El-Aurian immune systems, but this remains a topic of great debate.
 
She pursued studies on the planet where her parents first met: Betazed.  Aribelle became a brilliant painter and sculptor. Sadness soon followed after her first art exhibit. Word came that her father contracted a deadly illness. Aribelle became bitter after his death a few months later. To her, life just did not matter and she sank into a depression. After a few months of traveling with her mother, Aribelle decided that she wanted to know more about space-bound illnesses, and how it would infect and affect one species to another. This gave her renewed spirit and a "calling."
 
Again, she enrolled into studies, but this time it was med school. Her passion fueled her work ethic. She completed her residency and fellowship and later enrolled into the Academy.
 
===Present: Starfleet Officer===
While a doctor first, Aribelle finds herself struggling between her medical training and her duty as a Starfleet officer. She feels out of place among the younger officers even if they physically look the same.
