| Personal History | Talla was born November 29, 2358 on her home world of Betazed, where she lived with her parents and older brothers Auron, Rugard and youngest sister Jizara. While there she took an interest in gymnastics and dancing. Later in high school she would compete with the debate teams until graduation. When the conflict over the liberation of Betazed broke out Talla’s life was turned upside-down. During the conflict her hometown was seized resulting in the deaths of her mother and youngest sister. Her father died in Talla’s arms later that week. A couple months later she was taken in by a man named Rainfall and raised as his own with his family in Mossbell. She has since been close to Auron for she owes her very life to him as he led the enemy search parties away from her after their narrow escape from their family’s home. She was finally reunited with him before she was to leave for Star Fleet academy. Her younger brother Rugard is still listed as missing. Those events sill haunt her to this day. |
