Jiri

She was born on Sigma Tama IV in 2353. She had a happy childhood, surrounded by a large family. At the age of 18, she applied to Starfleet Technical Services Academy. The language differences posed quite a large problem for her. She spent many years at the Academy, repeating years over and over until she was successful. This did not seem to impede her enthusiasm. After she graduated in 2380, she briefly returned to Sigma Tama IV to marry her childhood sweetheart, Dathon. The marriage was one of convenience for both. They do not live together, but will occasionally reunite to try to procreate. Jiri is not all that interested in having children, but she is keenly aware of both families’ wishes for her to have at least one.
