Childhood

Raised by two mothers on a small farm on Rodul, Talia Kaji had few ambitions other than moving to the city. At the age of 20, she enrolled in medical school to become a doctor. She graduated with slightly above-average marks and some honors.

Rodulan Career

From ages 25-60 Talia worked as a doctor in a local practice. She was trained as a general practitioner, treating all manner of basic conditions. She focused on obstetrics in particular. In general, she very much enjoyed being a simple country doctor, but she began to dream of adventure. The Idanii region of Rodul hosted a very severe and reserved culture. Kaji's enthusiasm and thirst for excitement began to affect her relationships. Talia finally decided to move and search for a more meaningful life in the city.

Talia found a job at a large hospital in Rodul's capital city of Tikan, where she started working in the emergency room. The pace of her new life was overwhelming at first, but she adjusted and began to enjoy the thrill of trauma work. Her experience in general medicine helped her with the various illnesses and injuries present in emergency care, but she found the trauma work more interesting. She loved the work, and kept the position for the next thirty years. She also began studying, working towards a surgery position.

Personal Relationships

Kaji had very few relationships while she was living in Idanii. She lived near her moms and siblings, and her friends were all fellow doctors and nurses. After moving to Tikan, she fell into similar patterns at first. Her moms began pushing her towards fining a companion and making more friends. So Talia began to socialize. She spent a lot of time in her fifties dating, but found the men (and one or two women) boring and ordinary. Deciding to focus on non-romantic relationships, Kaji focused on helping her friends and becoming overly involved in their various issues. She developed a bad habit of being too curious and tying to fix things.

At age 86, she met Ensign Kyo Maeda, assigned to the UFoP Embassy. He had taken down an intruder in the Rodul Embassy and been badly wounded, ending up on her operating table. He smiled at her, and she was hooked. Kyo was a very quiet man, with a subtle-but-wicked sense of humor. They talked a lot while he was in recovery, and after he was discharged, he asked her out on a date. He made a point to visit her every time he came to the hospital for physical therapy.

Their relationship was strong from the beginning. Talia's enthusiasm and Kyo's stoic strength complemented each other well. He was a very simple and honest man, so her telepathy didn't bother him very much, and he adjusted rather quickly. Talia's greatest struggle was the difference in their species, particularly their different life-spans. She loved him so much, and was terrified to think she would live to see him grow old and die. As there was no good solution to this problem, they gradually learned to ignore it and embrace the time they had.

As Kyo and Talia's relationship grew more serious, they began to discuss a more permanent commitment. Kyo was interested in the Rodulan bond-pairing. Though he couldn't sense Talia's thoughts, they believed the commitment of sharing and creating a thought, a dream, was the most intense vow they could imagine. They bought the materials to create a basotile and began to plan a move to a house of their own.

Before their move, Talia found out she was pregnant. It wasn't planned, but she and Kyo were thrilled.

Rodulans very much discourage unplanned pregnancies, and the Kaji Family tried to force Talia to return home so her older family could raise the child. Kaji and Maeda decided to raise the child themselves away from Rodul. Kaji joined Starfleet to give her the freedom to leave her home system.

Benjiro Adwin Kaji was born on Stardate 238706.11.

Starfleet Career

As Maeda was in Starfleet already, they were able to get him stationed at the Starfleet Academy afilliated campus on Aldebaran, where Kaji took her courses. Already having so much experience in the medical field, she was able to test out of many classes and finished the academy in two years, focusing on Starfleet regulations and alien physiology. Ensign Maeda was promoted to LtJg and transferred to the Duranis II Embassy almost before she graduated. Kaji kept Ben with her, and Maeda went ahead to the Embassy. Kaji requested assignment to the Embassy. She sent Ben to live with Maeda while she finished exams.

After finishing the Academy, Cadet Kaji was sent to Starbase 118 for finals and graduation.
