Talisa is the youngest of three children and was quickly recognized as what humans would call a ‘black sheep.’ She was born into an artistic family, her father was an Andorian blues musician who also tutored children in music while her mother was an Ice Sculptor with two exhibits to her work on Andor. All three of the Children where natured in various arts and encouraged to express themselves, Talisa did enjoy drawing as a child but was also interested in sports and more aggressive pursuits, at the age of seven her art teacher told her that her images were childish and ‘unfit for display’. While Talisa still enjoys ‘doodling’ privately she has never publicly shown any interest in art and after the discouraging incident with her art Talisa began playing with the Ushaan-tor (a miner's icepick and dueling weapon) to her parents dismay. | |||
At the age of 9 Talisa’s uncle visited her household to celebrate her parents 20th anniversary, her uncle saw her playing with the Ushaan-tor, he noticed her enthusiasm but lack of skill begin to tutor her in fundamental techniques. Before his visit was up her told her tales of her great grandfather and grandmother her had served in the Andorian Defence force and served in the Imperial Guard. Excited by the stories and realizing that she had inherited the warrior spirit of her ancestors Talisa told her parents that she wanted to join the ADF as soon as she was grown up. She continued with this insistence until at the age of 13 while Talisa learned about the all Andorian Crew of the USS Atlirith during a federation history class. She instantly became obsessed with the ship’s legend and her focus switch from joining the ADF to joining the Federation. While in school she spent many hours reading the reports held in the School libraries of famous federation battles. | |||
Talisa applied to join the Academy at the age of 19 but her application was rejected, while she passed all intelligence and aptitude tests she was informed that if she wanted to join the academy she would not need to prove that she could study and apply herself academically before she would be considered. Depressed and uncertain of what to do, Talisa traveled for a year before moving to the colony of Korvat. The colony, officially part of the Klingon Empire but heavily influenced by Federation culture was very liberating for Talisa, who enrolled herself in the Curzon Dax Institute of Culture and Learning, studying here for three years she gain a degree in Modern Klingon History. While on Korvat she studied the Bat'leth to moderate success and engrossed herself in Klingon culture going as far as to dye her hair black and braid it. | |||
