Home & Upbringing[edit]

Terra was raised by her human mother on a nondescript, predominantly human planet within the confines of a fairly strait Starfleet community. And Starfleet communities being Strafleet communities, she was always included, but somehow she always managed to feel separate, different, and outside the sphere of her human peers.

Because her appearance was Vulcan, she was viewed as Vulcan, but she didn't really even have a good handle on what it meant to be Vulcan. So, she embraced her humanity - her chaotic, messy humanity - in an attempt to adapt to her environment.

It was not always an easy truce reconciling her instinctive nature with the known expectations of her environment.

Starfleet Academy[edit]

In the Academy, Terra was exposed to more cultures, races, philosophies, and perspectives than she grew up with. It was a time of growth and learning, and she soaked it up like a sponge. She regularly encountered Vulcans among the faculty and among her peers, but for all she identified with Vulcan thought and philosophy, she had very little success adopting an appropriately Vulcan persona.

Though she spent most of her first year trying.

In the end it was her study of medicine, particularly her specialized studies of xenobiology and cybernetics, that led her to accept herself more as a unique individual than a predefined subset of genetic expectations.

That's how her Vulcan brain liked to say it.

Her human side preferred to laugh about it over a liter of beer.

Career Events[edit]

Two events defined Terra's experience as a Starfleet officer: The loss of the first ship she served on, and the loss of her first captain. Both occurred in a single day. Both, she believed, could have been avoided. That the Romulan captain responsible for the destruction had long since been hunted down and brought to justice mattered little.

Terra learned much about survival that day, and much more about the value of diplomacy over a show of force.

Still, for all the mistakes and what-ifs, she did not hang her head at the memory. She may have stood by while her young captain foolishly shook the saber at a superior and hostile force, but she did not stand by in the aftermath, and a number of people were alive that probably shouldn't be as a direct result of her actions.
