Vel’s parents met aboard the USS ''Catalina'' before the Dominion War, an unlikely pairing in that L’Vor was a Vulcan JAG officer and Nicolás Careno an outgoing and bombastic engineer. Vel was likewise born aboard the ''Catalina'', although she relocated to Earth along with her mother at the outbreak of hostilities between the Dominion and the Federation. Nicolás would die when the ''Catalina'' was destroyed during the war in 2374, and Vel would grow up with no real memory of him.

While she has never truly reconciled herself with her Vulcan heritage and still makes a point of finding her own way without the teachings of Surak, she no longer shuns or violently rejects this part of her culture. Nevertheless, to look at her with her brightly-colored hair and penchant for dramatic flair, one would be hard-pressed to believe she was of the same ilk as the sensible, logical Vulcans.

Vel attended the Starfleet Academy campus at Agora on the Tellarite homeworld of Tellar. Although living on Earth at the time of her acceptance, she opted to attend an off-world campus partly to satisfy her wanderlust and partly to escape the auspices of her mother and step-father.

However, once she was able to strike a balance her grades improved remarkably and she was able to graduate twenty-third in her class. Despite ample opportunities to enter a research post following her graduation, Vel's cadet cruise and desire to explore prompted her to take an assignment aboard a starship - the USS ''Columbia''.
