Alana is also known to be caught in the middle of personasâ�?�¦ from her passionate Betazoid heritage, to the stoic and calculating Vulcan upbringing. Though she was born Betazoid, most of her life she had Vulcans around her. Testing on her abilities, teaching her before she entered Star Fleet. When something pushes her Betazoid blood and it doesnâ�?��?�t feel nice, she reverts into the cold Vulcan mode. It is her way of dealing with it, though it is not always healthy. Alana doesnâ�?��?�t allow herself to experience things in a natural, healthy manner. For being a telepath and empath, she shields herself sometimes of the truth. ''There was a recent breakthrough with Counselor Tanya Rea, enabling Alana to have a perfect harmony between the two.'' | Alana is also known to be caught in the middle of personasâ�?�¦ from her passionate Betazoid heritage, to the stoic and calculating Vulcan upbringing.

===List of Conditions | ==The "Vulcan" Persona== | ||
It wasn't always so hard, nor was it always so easy. The transition between both worlds was difficult enough. Alana could not have the joys of her freedom without falling into the recesses of confined training. And, as a child, the only one's who could offer such a treatment were the Vulcans -- in effect, this would numb some of her passionate Betazoid senses thus creating a conflicted teenager and young woman. | |||
The training the young girl had to endure almost tore her family apart. Most of her childhood years were spent in the confines of facilities, in hopes and efforts that Alana would someday be able to venture into the world and live a normal life. | |||
The reasoning of Alana's condition was also one that drove Devyn into the arms of another woman -- Wilma Rogers, Carmen Rogers' mother. Arianna was obsessed and continually depressed of her young daugher's turmoil and constant state of hospitialization. There wasn't anything they did not try... | |||
The offer from [[Tarin]] (Devyn's best friend and Alana's later mentor in the [[Vulcan Science Academy]]) was encouraging, but also bittersweet. After a while, the growing teenager would not be able to define herself - conflicted between her Betazoid blood and [[Vulcan]] persona. Alana even practiced techniques to where she would be able to harness the telepathy and empathy, in extreme measures she had, to be negated to the point of numbness. | |||
However, with the death of her parents, a teenage Alana became overwhelmed with emotion. This was also about the time where her genetic bondmate, Savek, snubbed her for a life of 'Logic.' Becoming cold once more, and into a state of confusion, she retreated to a vortex of ice that sent her to Starfleet. | |||
It was Starfleet, however, that awakened the woman once more. Even though she had troubles adjusting to the personalities of people, she found comfort in two classmates: Makal Kora of the USS Columbia and Horne Makra, who serves now on the ship USS Wallace with her after a brief leave. The friendships were good and therapeutic to her. But, the friendship with Horne became more than thatâ�?�¦ it escalated into romance, burning the ice around her heart. She went so far to call him â�?��?[[Imzadi]]â�?�?, and the two were engaged for a time before he broke it offâ�?�¦ Leaving her in doubt, but even if she did not blame him for wanting to explore his own heritage, secretly Alana was heartbroken. This was about the same time did she find the true deaths of her parents and siblings. | |||
It seemed to be a perpetual cycle that led the woman into a whirlwind of wavering personas. | |||
A trip to Vulcan followed in Horneâ�?��?�s leaveâ�?�¦ with the assistance of Vulcan priestesses, Alana decided to increase an effort to purge all emotions to freeze her aching heart once more. A short hair do followed this, along with a stone-cold and stoic appearance that left her fellow crewmembers anxious about her mentality and welfare. | |||
Later, Counselor Rea would help mend the threads on the mental plane, where Alana blended the two personas into oneâ�?�¦ However, one or the other can show dominance at any given time. Though the Vulcan may seem apparent, her heart yearns for recourse. | |||
The Vulcans dimmed emotions because they were so passionate they had to. They were not emotionless, and that is where Alana made her mistakes. | |||
