Physical Appearance
| Height | 1.75 M; (5:9, old Earth measure) | |
| Weight | 62.37 KG; (137.5 lbs, old Earth measure) | |
| Physical Description | Though slender of build, T’Varis has significant musculatur, both as a Vulcan, and because of her being a hand-to-hand combat specialist. Taller than some, T’Varis does everything to avoid bringing attention to herself. Highly dedicated, even beyond the norms of Starfleet and the usual Vulcan officers, she keeps her hair back in a severe bun. However, when off-duty, she does let it down, much preferring to have her hair flow free. Unusually, T'Varis has deep green eyes, which an overawed human female once described as agate. |
Character Outline
| Summary | Unusually emotionally aware—for a Vulcan—T’Varis has been criticized by Vulcans in the past for displays. (This is largely due to her, as yet unrevealed, Romulan heritage). While possessing traits developed during her acetic youth with her mother, T’Varis is incredibly sensitive, especially emotionally. She chose Security in Starfleet because she felt it fit her skills best, though if she had had more courage, she may have gone for counseling. Fiercely loyal and protective, T’Varis is sometimes likely to exhaust herself trying to protect the ship. However, if pushed too far, she can shut down for a time. She has unusually strong telepathic and melding abilities—yet another result of her early life. She usually keeps these abilities under wraps, although they have been known to manifest themselves during romantic relationships. T’Varis craves friendship, but often feels alone. This is, partially, a result of her upbfringing, and her feeling of being outside the norm for Vulcans. She knows her place within the ship and Starfleet, but still struggles. |

| External Conflicts | T’Varis’s Romulan heritage will come to light at some point—not entirely sure how as yet. This will lead to emotional expression and possibly instability, as well as a rare allergic reaction which will cause severe complications. T’Varis may lose her equilibrium for a time, but will hopefully find herself again.T’Varis’s Romulan heritage will come to light at some point—not entirely sure how as yet. This will lead to emotional expression and possibly instability, as well as a rare allergic reaction which will cause severe complications. T’Varis may lose her equilibrium for a time, but will hopefully find herself again. If someone wants to play any of the friends/lovers mentioned above, that would be fine. |
|
| Internal Conflicts | T’Varis has a complicated relationship with her mother, and doubts her past decitions. T’Arhoc was unhappy with her daughter joining Starfleet, and made her displeasure known. Furthermore, the lack of a stable, male, romantic partner is further strain on their relationship. Internally, this can create difficulties for T’Varis in that she is still trying to determine who she is to herself. |

| Parents | Father, V’Shel (deceased); mother, T’Arhoc T’Varis’s parents were a fairly conventional Vulcan couple, with one daughter—T’Irin—before T’Varis’s birth. T’Arhoc was a Vulcan priestess, and V’Shel was an artisan of particular skill. However, his untimely death just weeks before the birth of T’Varis caused T’Arhoc deep distress. Taking T’Irin and the as yet unborn T’Varis to a remote village, T’Arhoc carved out a life of strict religious observances for both her children, including asceticism and strict rituals and adherence to logic. |

| Sibling(s) | T'Irin Elder sister by five years T’Irin was not as damaged by her father’s death as her mother, but she still fell into the practices of her mother. Fortunately, she had T’Varis to pull her out if necessary, and once she was able to operate as an adult, she left. Upon gaining help from her paternal grandfather, T’Irin established herself as a musician, particularly gifted in the Vulcan lyre and Terran viola da gamba and lute. She is married to Saekun, her father’s last apprentice. They are expecting twins in April, 2252. |

| Other Family | Saekun, brother-in-law He is a renowned Vulcan sculptor, woodcarver, and jewelry-maker. Unusually perceptive for a Vulcan male, he and T’Irin have a loving, comfortable relationship.
