===Early Life=== | |||
Karynn grew up in a loving family on the planet Halii where she was born. Her love of the hard sciences was cemented by her grandparents when she was 3 years old, with the gift of her very first chemistry book and chemistry set. She generally did well in school and was awarded both in High School and College for her work in the sciences. Karynn is the first in her family to join Starfleet, a decision she was prompted to make after hearing a prominent Starfleet Scientist speak. She failed her first attempt to enter Starfleet Academy with poor marks on the History portion of the entrance exam. This failure prompted her to study and work to excel at History. After a semester at the University, she joined the preparatory program and was later accepted into the Academy. She began pursuing a degree in the sciences and had nearly completed that degree when, in her 4th year, she developed an interest in counseling. She finished her degree in the sciences and took a fifth year at the academy to begin her counseling degree. She is in the process of finishing that degree while on board the Ronin. | Karynn grew up in a loving family on the planet Halii where she was born.

===Academy=== | |||
Karynn developed two notable friendships while she was at Starfleet Academy, both with roommates. The first was with '''Catherine Bell''', her roommate for the first two years. Catherine introduced Karynn to several Terran activities including whitewater rafting (on the holodeck), some Terran foods, and some Terran religious practices, especially those of Catherine's own Catholic faith. While Karynn didn't embrace the entire faith, she did pick up several of Catherine's prayer practices, including the use of prayer beads and candles. Karynn was sad when Catherine returned to Earth, but the two have stayed in touch. When Catherine left, Karynn's new roommate was '''Jenn Iyer'''. Jenn's most significant impact was on Karynn's change in career directions. In Karynn's fourth year at the Academy, Jenn developed a severe episode of depression. Karynn was impressed by the impact the Academy Counselors had on Jenn's life and realized the influence counselors could use to help others. Following this experience, Karynn stayed on at the Academy an extra year to begin working on her counseling degree. | |||

*'''[[Reed, Sarah|Sarah Reed]]''' - Karynn met Sarah Reed on her first shoreleave following her assignment to the ''Ronin''. The two are frequently found in ''Double Shot'' chatting over a cup of coffee. Sarah is, in part, responsible for helping Karynn's relationship with Ethan Brice to develop. | |||
*'''[[Brice, Ethan|Ethan Brice]]''' - Ethan and Karynn met at the impromptu wedding of [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Ben Walker]] and [[Adair-Walker, Ronan Tully|Ro Adair]] in ''Twilight's Edge'' on DS17. After the wedding they slipped off to have a quiet chat on the Nature Deck of the station, which evolved into a game of Tag ("Mitz" in Haliian). Due to the schemings of Sarah Reed, they were set up on an impromptu date the next night. This was followed by a romantic evening on a holodeck recreation of Paris. So far, they have yet to spend a date together where one or both haven't gotten wet. Their budding relationship prompted a confrontation between Lt.Commander Ben Walker and Karynn, in which he asked what her intentions were. | |||
