While Em'berlyn is rather small, she is not a stick. There is some meat on her bones, mostly settling to fill her out and make her look nice in her clothing. She is short, especially for her 'age', but she knows she is not going to get any taller so she has decided to simply live with it.

Em'berlyn has chestnut colored curls that fall down to around her mid back, usually kept down even though it has a tendancy to fall into her ocean-like blue green eyes. Her face is kept free of makeup, due to the fact that the way she lived promoted a healthy lifestyle and therefore her complexion is close to perfect. She does not feel a need to add a mask of makeup to her face when it is already good-looking.

==Family==

General Overview Em'berlyn is a sweet woman, enjoying the company of others greatly. She has a deep desire to learn more about the universe and it's various life forms--both plant and being. She is also very optimistic about life and it's outcomes, believing everything to happen for a reason (even if no one knows it's purpose yet). She enjoys getting to know people and is rather curious about everything.
+
'''Father'''
 +
*Sang'ji
  
−
She is prone to seem a bit ditzy sometimes, not having been aboard the ship long. She has a basic working knowledge of technology but distrusts it for the most part. She can work it if she wants to, but she would prefer to do things the old fashioned way. Her innocence only adds to the ditzyness. She does not get sexual innuendo's or references, never having been with anyone.
+
'''Mother'''
 +
*Aqu'ope
  
−
She's known to be playful with people anyway, despite her innocence. She was quite the flirt on Ba'ku, though it might not seem so flirtacious amongst people who have done a lot more than she has.
+
'''Brother'''
 +
*Sil'lard
  
−
Other than that, she is really strong willed and her playful personality allows her to occasionally get her way when she probably shouldn't. She's stubborn about things when she gets stuck on an idea, but can warm to something if enough sense is talked into her.
+
'''Sister'''
−
Strengths & Weaknesses Em'berlyn is a whiz at all things biological and having to do with chemistry as it pertains to biology.
+
*Lea'lin
  
−
She is a keen at observation, observing both plants and people.
+
==History==
 +
T'Stala was the younger of two daughters. Her sister, T,Laria, had always been the favored child. She got the better fiance, freer lifestyle, and less responsibility. For this, T'Stala grew to dislike her sister. Luckily, she was taught early in life to repress her emotions considering she never fully ignored them except when in the presence of others. Then, she met who she had been affianced to – and she was not pleased. So, she went to her only friend and made a pact with him to break the marriage when the time came.
  
−
Her keen observations occasionally get her into trouble, because she points out secret things between people and they have to be explained.
+
Over the years, T'Stala became heavily involved with science and the medical field. She enjoyed learning something new every chance she had. Her intelligence was the only way to outshine her sibling at this point. Her parents hardly knew how to control her as she let her hair grow and she took to behaving rebelliously. When she turned nineteen, they thought their problems were solved.
  
−
She distrusts technology, therefore does not know how to work everything she probably needs to and has to be taught.
+
Two days before her marriage was to take place, T'Stala called for a koon-ut-kal-if-fee; her friend would be the challenger. T'Stala spent years observing her mate and knew that he'd allow logic to win when challenged. Those in their circle agreed that T'Stala wasn't worth fighting for; that she simply wouldn't be worth the trouble. Thus, based on 'logic', she wasn't and she was released from her bond. Her parents stood in shock and felt they were in over their heads. T'Stala knew the perfect way to relinquish them from this misery of a second daughter. Within a week of the broken bond, she left to find herself in the universe.
  
−
She doesn't trust androids unless they prove themselves in some sort of situation.
+
She soon attended Starfleet Medical School to expand her knowledge in the medical field. Excelling in her courses was a double edged sword. Like many Vulcans, she was compared to the legendary Spock. There were some who felt T'Stala had potential; and others who clearly thought otherwise. The young Vulcan paid them no attention and forged onward. Upon graduation, she was approached by one of the doctors who had taught her. He recommended that she join Starfleet academy. When T'Stala inquired why, his answer was simple.
  
−
She is stubborn, so she's hard to work with occasionally.
+
"Because I was running away, too. And the best place to go when you're running away is further abroad than just some planet - space and a ship is further away from home than anywhere else."
−
Ambitions To see a great portion of the universe. She wants to see hundreds of different kinds of species of people and plants.
 
  
−
Find that person for her. She is rather lonely sometimes, which is why she thrusts herself into social gatherings nearly all of the time so she doesn't have to think about it. The Ba'ku people were a tight-knit community, so it is hard to imagine herself going any longer without bonding to someone.
+
Those were just the right words because the next day, T'Stala was beginning the paperwork to get enlisted. It'd been a trying time period for her, the first few months. She'd been mistaken for a Romulan, shunned by the Vulcans, and thought to be odd all around. Yet, the doctor did not change. Her long tresses remained hers and her unmoving will grew stronger. When she was not training to be an officer, she was reading up on antique and vintage Earth medical science. Compared to what could be done now, it was practically obsolete. T'Stala, however, always wondered what would happen if technology failed them. Going back to square one was always an option.
  
−
Discover something new--as a biologist, she wants to observe or create something that no one ever has before.
+
Those four years in academy, T'Stala waffled back and forth between being an officer and not being an officer. She ultimately decided being an officer was more respectable. The last few days as a cadet, she celebrated with no one. She spoke with few. She might as well have been invisible. Over those four years, T'Stala became friends with no one; she felt better safeguarding her secrets - even if it meant she'd have to be a recluse. When graduation was over and everyone was out partying, the young doctor was instead researching ships to call home.
  
−
Hobbies & Interests Reading and talking to new species of people.
+
That was when she found the Washington - or more the Washington found her. Everything about the ship was new down to the ship's Captain. It couldn't be more perfect. T'Stala was happy to be taken aboard and immediately began planting her knew life there, hoping it'd grow. While on the Washington, she encountered many different people and situations. She made enemies, she made associates, and lifelong friends. She astounded some, confused others, and simply brought out the best in the rest. She made her Sickbay a place of tranquility and peace; and wouldn't tolerate behavior that presented negativity. A dedicated doctor, she sometimes [often] slept in her office in case of an emergency. The doctor had been entrusted with dark secrets and kept them close and silent. T'Stala witnessed the ship grow and change over her two years aboard.
  
−
Personal History Em'berlyn was just 14 years old when the Ba'ku people broke apart from their evil war-lordesque home planet in an effort to get away from the violence and war machines. They did so successfully and found themselves a nice planet to live on that was full of nature, very different than what their technologically advanced planet looked like. From that point, they swore off technology--despite having been quite advanced with the technology they had once built--and lived a simple life. Their community of 600 was tight-knit and happy, unaware of the metaphasic radiation that drastically slowed their aging.
+
Her last mission on the Washington was an away mission. She, along with Executive Officer D. Franklin [at the time] had been captured as prisoners in a war arena. While held captive, she learned some things about herself that she hadn't before. The Vulcan found that if pushed hard enough, she could quite easily behave as her ancestors had. With much care from Franklin and M. Mejia, she didn't have to go beyond the cusp of violence. T'Stala also learned that emotion certainly was pointless and led to nothing but hurt and anger. Sure she'd lost a friend during that mission, T'Stala went back to building her walls again. When she was back aboard the ship, Netolia suggested she take a mental health leave. Others suggested she talk to a counselor. Talking didn't help. What could she say without being cast out in the wind to be lynched by her own words? It's like people forgot: Vulcans do feel, it's merely suppressed. And sometimes, that suppression needs to be relinquished if only for a moment to return to normalcy again. However, T'Stala knew she might never find such a thing on the Washington and left.
  
−
When she got older, there was an uprising of young-adults her age that wanted to go back to their old ways. They wanted to go back and explore the universe so they rebelled. They attempted to take over the village, but their people won out in the end and the rebels were exiled. She had to admit that she was sad to see them leave, now having no one to be with... but she threw herself into older social groups and tried her best to not think that she was now alone. She started thinking, though, that maybe the others were right... maybe exploring the universe wasn't so bad. She tried not to think about it and never got up the courage to try and talk to anyone else about it in fear that she may be exiled as well for sympathizing with the rebels.
+
While hiding out on a Starbase, she was found by Kejal Buris. He'd been promoted to Commander of his own ship while T'Stala had been on the Washington. He apparently missed her because he asked her to come aboard the Dauntless. Not sure if it was a sympathy job or not, T'Stala was very careful in saying yes and asserted that he should treat her no differently then he had in the past. He agreed not to and she was quite happy to come aboard. Before he gave her an official tour of the ship, that sat on the bridge talking about her captivity in the arena and anything else surrounding it. She finally had the chance to unburden her soul and she did. Going a step further, she decided to mind meld with Kejal. She trusted him and was quite certain he could handle anything she'd be flinging at him. One more friend. Now she had two: her nurse and her commander.
  
−
Once the Federation came, and her people were sent into chaos and then peace again, she started re-thinking her choices. She was much older now, but only looking around 22, and she wasn't sure that she wanted to leave her people. She stayed for a few years after the federation left, but talked to the head biologist about her feelings of wanting to leave. He understood, though he himself stayed, and helped her acquire a way out. She applied for a job on a ship that needed a biologist and with her coworkers help got a job and was soon shipped out to her new home, the USS Sphinx.
+
Now she had a new home, another new life - but with baggage. Now, however, she was ready for whatever may come...
  
−
Soon enough, however, the ship seemed to be going down hill. So, at the request of her Commander, she transferred to the USS Dauntless. While it is difficult adjusting to new places, she is working at making this new place her home.
