==Biography== | |||
===Childhood=== | |||
Aresee Lily Ventu was born in Trondheim, Norway on [[Earth]] on May 24, [[2352]]. She was both an only child and a bit of a miracle baby for Matilda, a merchant marine trader, and Jarin, an FSN newsman. [[Image:Lily10.jpg|thumb|left|130px|Aresee before the "Playground Incident."]]It came as quite a shock, then, when Aresee was diagnosed at five with bipolar disorder. The diagnosis was initially upsetting to her parents, but Aresee quickly adapted to the pill regimen. | |||
At the age of ten, Aresee experienced a particularly bout of mania, broke some school property, and injured two other children. In the aftermath of the "Playground Incident," three pediatric specialists examined her and discovered that she had been misdiagnosed as a young child and actually suffered from genetic hypercyclothemia, a rare, recessive, but also very major form of bipolar disorder. Aresee's medical and counseling therapies were adjusted accordingly, but the incident left her embarrassed and withdrawn, and she was home-schooled for the next eight years. | |||
===Academy Years=== | |||
====Acceptance==== | |||
Aresee was eager for a new adventure as she came out of her secondary school education. She requested information from [[Starfleet Academy Curriculum|Starfleet Academy]], [[Image:Roberts.jpg|thumb|left|130px|Abby Roberts]]and was contacted personally by a recruitment officer, Ensign [[USS Galaxy|Abby Roberts]]. Roberts answered all of Aresee's questions, up to the date of the entrance exam. After a few weeks of waiting, however, Aresee received her failing results. | |||
Far from depressing her, Aresee was galvanized by the experience: She was more determined than ever simply to move '''somewhere''', and so applied to several schools around the world and was accepted to a few. She was in the midst of making her final decision in the summer of [[2370]] when she was contacted again by Ensign Roberts. | |||
Although she's not supposed to, Roberts reveals that Aresee was within the +/- 3% of being accepted, and that with all the non-acceptances the Academy has received, many late re-testers will have a good chance of getting in. In short, Aresee was convinced enough to take the test again, and when her acceptance came, she went with her first choice and her initial feeling. | |||
====The First Few Years==== | |||
The first days and weeks at the para-military Academy were quite an awakening for Aresee. To her benefit, Ensign Roberts continued to serve as cadet liaison, and she served in a further capacity as Aresee's advisor and don. Aresee continued to see a campus counselor for a year before declaring herself a counseling major. She also entertained a few pre-medical classes, but balked at the idea of a full multi-year follow up doctoral degree. | |||
[[Image:Nickeighteen.jpg|thumb|left|130px|Nick Parks]] | |||
Perhaps the most exciting think to happen to Aresee during her first year was meeting [[Parks, Nick|Nick Parks]]. Both of them took more time than "normal" to adjust to Academy proceedings, and his indecisive and flighty air complimented her previous hermitic existence. By the end of first November, they were more than friends. At eighteen, Nick was Lily's first boyfriend, but - free of the strict roles of her high school and expectations of what she expected - the relationship blossomed. | |||
Aresee continued at the Academy for another two years. Classes grew harder and her amount of free time decreased. Ensign Roberts received a promotion and an offer to serve as a tactical officer aboard the ''USS Martel''. Finally, when Nick broke up with Aresee in December of their junior year, she went off all of her treatments, ended up severely depressed, and missed all of her finals. When her failing grade are reported, Aresee veered to the extreme and applied immediately for a medical leave of absence. Though it was granted, she had left the Academy campus ten minutes after submitting the paperwork. | |||
