Oddas Aria: Difference between revisions

After Aria's shunning by her family, she felt alone, isolated, and generally as shut off from the world as she ever had.  Combined with the death of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]] she assumed she would never have a home of her home ever again.  She was surprised to find Alea's parents recognizing her pain, fighting through their own, and treating her as their own daughter, always managing to find her and offering her the support she desperately needed.  Recently when she was worried about bringing her [[Irina Pavlova|fiance]], and future wife home they allayed her fears and treated both as if they had always been family.

Aria, through years of interaction, has deduced there was some sort of tension between the two families (Ijo and Oddas) stemming from the time of the Occupation.   

; <span id="Ijo">Ijo Alea</span> : Deceased Fiance, Bajoran, who had planned to attend Starfleet at the same time as Aria.  During a hike, the year before they were scheduled to leave for the Academy Alea was crushed under a rock slide.  Aria's family had hoped, not secretly, that Alea's death would weaken Aria's desire to go to Starfleet, but the opposite happened.  Alea had planned to go to the academy alongside Aria and unbeknownst to Aria's parents the couple had exchanged promise bracelets - designed and crafted by Aria - in the days leading up to Ijo's death.  When her parents pressured her to stay on Bajor after the death, Aria realized that her desire to go was stronger than ever.

; Ijo Cada: The mother of [[#Ijo Alea|Ijo Alea]], and someone who has stepped in as a 'surrogate' mother figure to Aria after the death of Alea.  Aria calls her 'Mother Cada' and is likely to write her or visit her when thinking of home.  Aria knows little concrete of her time during the Resistance, but innuendo, stories told, and things Cada knows leads Aria, and everyone around her, to believe she was of some importance in the intelligence gathering field.  She insists she is a 'retired Bajoran Housewife', but she seems to know a lot about everyone in her family, which now includes characters ranging from Aria, to [[Irina Pavlova]] to [[Snow,_Jazmine|Jazmine Snow]].

When looking for solutions to problems, she is often drawn to the less aggressive and violent solutions, which places her at odds with the Marines and similar minded people under her command who have labeled her as a 'pacifist' or worst.  Aria does not think this is a fair assessment and simply feels as if becoming too comfortable with weapons makes it more likely other solutions will be ignored.  She will point out several occasions when she has used weaponry to its most logical and violent conclusions.
