History

Personal History

Shoniara ‘Shon’ to her friends was born in the city of Dogan on Riasa on 20th June 2355 where her father was the current attaché to the Vulcan Ambassador. Her mother Liara was an exobiologist teaching at the Dogan Academy of Science. Her younger years were spent with her brother Telvan living between Vulcan and Risa. At the age of 12 her brother was sent away to the Vulcan Monastery school of DHarda. Shon’s behaviour, always wayward became uncontrollable and she ran away from several schools. She was then sent to Earth to live with her Maternal Grandfather. Here she settled and learned the love and respect of nature and all living things. He taught her self-control and a certain spirituality and encouraged her growling love of medicine. Here she became a proficient pilot loving to fly his collection of old 21st-century Aircraft.

In 2374 at the tender age of Nineteen, she applied for and was accepted to the Medical School of New Nova Scotia where she obtained her medical degree. At age 20 she met and fell in love with Lieutenant Marc Duchev Dex a Betazoid Counsellor with Starfleet. Against her parent's wishes, Shon joined Starfleet and married Marc and they had a daughter Shasta. On Graduation, they were sent to The Ensara Colony to help repatriate civilians from Klingon incursions during the Cardassian war. Whilst there she continued working whilst her husband went to collect their daughter and pack. Due to her work, Shon arrived an hour late to find their home in flames. She was unable to save them and watched them burn. Trying to rescue them burning roof bars fell on her and she herself was repatriated to San Francisco. She refused reconstructive surgery and uses the scars and pain to remind her of what she has lost, supposedly through her own fault. Following their deaths, she took an LOA from Starfleet and became withdrawn and depressed. She became addicted to a Klingon narcotic J’Heek initially for the pain of her burns but then just for the way it made her feel. During this time she worked for a year as a pilot for an ore consortium in the mining Colony of Arcybite and spent most of her off-duty time drunk.

Whilst there she met T’Ghrek of the Vulcan family T’Ghann. They developed a friendship and he helped her free herself of the addiction through meld and Vulcan relaxation techniques. She then saved his life after an assassination attempt and he made her his ‘Bond Sister’. After a year she returned to Earth and returned to duty.

Awarded Starfleet Medal of Honour for rescuing 70 colonists during Klingon Attack on Ensara.
Awarded Citizenship and Gold Star for curing viral plague on Trilota II.
