T'Val

Born in ShiKahr on Vulcan T’Val had a fairly cosmopolitan upbringing on the planet. In one of the largest cities on the planet, it was easy for the young Vulcan to mix with species from other planets, getting a broader sense of the universe. The daughter of two scientists who had become professors at the Vulcan Science Academy there was an expectation for academic excellence in the family which T’Val’s older brother met but she did not.

While her scores were enough to get her into the prestigious Shirkar Academy, she was less interested in studying the fundamental building blocks of the universe and the laws of physics which govern the structure of reality, and more interested in the peoples that made up the universe. Focusing her studies on anthropology, history, and political science she applied for Starfleet Academy upon graduation much to the chagrin of her parents who had wanted both of their children to be dedicated scientists.

Doing well at the Academy she was able to graduate within the standard four-year timeframe and is awaiting assignment as a newly minted Starfleet Ensign.
