Childhood and Adolescense

Arys is the younger one of Tuomas’ and Sileah’s two children and grew up in the northern part of Europe. Due to her grandfather's occupation as a diplomat, and the fact that Arys travelled with him, she spent her childhood and early teenage years exposed to different species and cultures, rejecting her Bajoran heritage.

Her mother, a former member of the Bajoran Resistance, did not approve. She all but forced the participation in prayer and Bajoran holidays - something Arys hated passionately. After the end of the Dominion War, Sileah insisted on moving her family to Bajor in order to familiarize her children more with the Bajoran culture. While Aaron quickly made new friends and would later say that he felt ‘complete’ when exploring his people’s history and faith, Arys felt caged and unhappy.

When her mother and father split, Arys returned to Earth with her father.

Education on Earth

Having returned to Earth, Arys finished College, and studied medicine. She worked as a doctor under her father's tutorage, specializing in obstetrics, gynaecology, and prenatal surgery. She was by no means the best in her field but benefitted a lot from her father’s name and reputation. After several years of persistent encouragement by her grandfather and thorough preparation for the entry exam, Arys eventually applied to Starfleet Academy. She decided to major in Counselling and eventually become a Diplomat like her grandfather, but let a mentor convince her to obtain medical qualifications in addition. She finished Starfleet Academy successfully after almost six years.

USS Juneau and Starbase 118 Ops

Upon graduating, Arys was posted to the USS Juneau where she began working as a Counsellor. After only three months she was transferred to Starbase 118 Ops as a Medical Officer - something she struggled with for quite some time. After all, it seemed that she had wasted the past years. It took several months for her to realize that her passion was indeed being a Medical Officer, and the commitment to her patients and life-saving research got her promoted to Chief Medical Officer in 239905.

Living Family

Lukin Zorkal partner Arys' "Person" Arys first met Lukin between her graduation from Starfleet Academy, and her posting to the USS Juneau. The two began meeting regularly once Arys' was reassigned to Starbase 118 Ops, and quickly grew inseparable. Lukin aided her in trying to find her half-brother Taril Zantett, and eventually enabled her to adopt Taril's daughter, Geleth A. Zantett while spending shore leave on Cardassia Prime. Once they returned, Arys and Lukin decided to move together, and begin negotiating enjoinment.

Geleth A. Zantett adopted daughter "She is Taril's daughter. That makes her family." Arys learned about Geleth's existence after asking Lukin to research the whereabouts of Taril Zantett, Arys' half brother. When Arys found out that Taril and his spouse had died six months prior, and left behind their little daugter Geleth, Arys did whatever was possible to be granted temporary custody, and eventually adoption of Geleth. The girl quickly got attached to Lukin, and struggles to warm up to Arys - mostly because Arys doesn't look Cardassian, and Geleth finds that strange.

Trovek Sileah mother "Follow the Prophets, my daughter. They cannot lead you astray." Sileah grew up on Bajor, and to this day prides herself in having been part of the Bajoran Resistance during the last decades of the Cardassian occupation. After sustaining a severe injury only a few years before Cardassia's official withdrawal from Bajor, she was forced to flee in order to seek medical treatment. She met Doctor Tuomas Ihalainen, who had decided to dedicate a portion of his time and skills to help the Bajorans in the various refugee camps. When Sileah got married to Tuomas she insisted that he took her name, and treasured her traditions even when they decided to settle down on Earth rather than return to Bajor. A year later, Sileah gave birth to their son Aaron. When Arys was born two years later, Sileah suffered from postpartum depression and was unwilling to take care of her daughter for the first decade of her life. The older her children grew, the more desperate Sileah was to raise them as Bajoran as possible - an effort Aaron appreciated a lot more than Arys did. Not having learned how to resolve conflict by other means than force, Sileah eventually decided to move the family to Bajor. That this uprooted her husband's career did not matter to her, and the move to Bajor marked the beginning of the end of their relationship. When Tuomas and Sileah split, Sileah and Aaron remained on Bajor. Sileah is co-leading a Bajoran sect with her son Aaron, and is known to enforce full devotion from their followers. While the Bajoran government has not a stop to the activities of the sect, they are certainly being watched closely.

Trovek Aaron brother "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith." Aaron is Arys' older brother. Due to sickness, he is not able to remember much of his early childhood. What he does remember is his mother praying to the prophets during this time, and he often joined her. Aaron developed an early love for the Bajoran culture and religion, and when his family moved to Bajor he took to the new environment like a fish to water. Instead of education after College, he dedicated his time to philosophy and theology, and new interpretations of ancient scrolls. He joined the Ohalavaru until his own following grew and he split from them, maintaining his own religious sect ever since. Aaron rarely speaks to his sister, even if he believes it to be her destiny to return to Bajor as part of the same prophecy that he believes has given him the status of a religious leader.
