Doctor Alaren Thalasa
Background
Alaren Thalasa is from the Kendra Province. Her paternal grandparents were physicians there before the Cardassian occupation, but because of his valiant attempt to save a fallen comrade, her grandfather was killed in the crossfire between the invaders and the Bajoran Resistance. Her grandmother was then imprisoned in a work camp and later died a day before Cardassian withdrawal took place.
Alaren's father (Tobin Edan) and her mother (Clarese Alaren)attempted to flee to the nearby mountains, but were captured before they could reach their destination. The camp of their captors was infiltrated and they along with several other prisoners were released and fled to the Kola Mountain in Bajor's Dahkur Province. The site of a stronghold in the 24th century where in 2371, several former members of the Shakaar Resistance Cell hid Alaren's parents, her father a physician, her mother a teacher/Vedek-helped as much as they could. They lived within the security of the resistance for five years then made their way cautiously back to Kendra to reclaim her grandfather's practice and damaged home. Childless for most of their marriage, the couple was thrilled to learn that they were expecting a child. Alaren was a constant shadow of her father while he worked in his practice. He taught her unofficially as much as most medical students learn within their course of study to become apt physicians.
As fate would allow her parent's were mortally wounded in a shuttle accident returning home from vacationing near the Yolja River. They lingered for a week, both too wounded to recover. Later, Alaren learned that her parents' accident was Cardassian sabotage brought about by the betrayal of a Vedek friend of her parents. Details unknown, it can only be assumed that the incident was motivated by revenge for at least one of the parties involved. She vowed to find their murderer and to avenge them.
Alaren sought the Prophets and pleaded for their intervention on her parents behalf, yet they remained silent. Believing with a child's faith that they would bring her loved ones back, Alaren sought the counsel of the Kai at that time. Her answer was,"All is as it should be." Bitter and blaming the Prophets for their lack of restoration, Alaren denounced her faith and left her home world at the age of sixteen after an attack and attempted rape by a Cardassian Jagul's son. Fighting with all her might,Alaren was fortunate to escape with only a gash to her chin and a knife wound to her left side. Finding an obscure cave to hide in while they searched for her, she lost consciousness not knowing how long she was there. Just in time she was found by her family's old friend and father's former assitant, Rogerius Benrubi, naked, fevered and delirious. He covered her with his coat and gathered her up to take her to his home. Roger as she calls him, nursed her back to health. After she was well enough to make her way she stubbornly left his brief care to wander about until finally settling on Earth for a time to officially study medicine and gain her degree as a Surgeon.
Physical Description and Personality
Alaren is a slim small boned female-her height around 5foot and 3inches. Her feminine features are classically formed and are misleading of her actual age. Her complexion is slightly tanned. Her pale gray eyes are all the more striking framed by thick dark lashes and arched eyebrows a touch darker than her auburn hair. Her face is slightly narrow with an aquiline nose bearing three small ridges on its bridge denoting of her race. She has a shapely mouth, a small white scar on her chin and deep dimples when she deems to smile.
Alaren wears little adornment other than a pair of tasteful sized diamond earrings. Her uniform, bluish-gray indicating her department is tailored to fit and accentuates her fit physique and womanly curves with subtle refinement. The tunic of the uniform is constructed from a quilted fabric, with piping along the hem of the shirt and around the shoulders. A mandarin collar stands around her neck with a U-shaped opening bordered in the same piping. A gold Bajoran communicator is set high on her right breast and her rank markings as a BDF Captain are attached on the left side of her collar. The tunic ends just below her waist where it is again bordered by piping and the trouser section begins just below that. The trousers have a small pleat that moves from mid-abdomen and fades as it reaches her hips. The legs of the trousers are well-pressed with a flare at the ankle. A pair of highly-polished, heeled boots are worn over her feet.
Alaren is a bright and intuitive surgeon. A woman of stubborn passion, she often finds herself at odds with those in authority. She tends to be loyal and forgiving of those that are able to establish a close relationship with her. Often aloof, she tends to avoid emotional attachment and is very guarded. She is very critical of her people's dependence upon the "wormhole aliens" and believes science, not faith is the solution to most difficulties.
She claims to be faithless but in unguarded moments reveals a reverence for the spiritual.
Alaren tends to be a pessimist when the subject is herself and is uncomfortable with discussing her past or accepting any kind of accolade. She is often self-absorbed, struggling with the demons of her past, yet readily available when she is needed as a physician or a confessor. As an officer she is fiercely loyal to her nation and very protective of her people.
A past relationship with the human, Captain Lucius Harrington produced her only child, Alaren Edan-Aimee. Captain Harrington went on to other pursuits and is currently the Federation Secretary of State.
Her baby girl is the love of her life and Alaren devotes much of her time in the care and nurturing of her daughter.
Alaren was formerly engaged to FTGTC Councilman Jerome J.-A. Dalmont. although no longer engaged, Dalmont remains close to Edan and considers her his daughter.
Alaren wrote this statement: "You died well, joH qajQaw lagh, majQa'! Kata shama melatas! Shata ka esamlo."
"With fire and steel did the gods forge the Klingon heart. So fiercely did it beat, so loud was the sound, that the gods cried out, 'On this day we have brought forth the strongest heart in all the heavens.
None can stand before it without trembling at its strength.' But then the Klingon heart weakened, its steady rhythm faltered and the gods said, 'Why do you weaken so? We have made you the strongest in all of creation.'
And the heart said... 'I am alone.'
And the gods knew that they had erred. So they went back to their forge and brought forth another heart.
But the second heart beat stronger than the first, and the first was jealous of its power.
Fortunately, the second heart was tempered by wisdom.
'If we join together, no force can stop us.'
And when the two hearts began to beat together, they filled the heavens with a terrible sound.
For the first time, the gods knew fear.
They tried to flee, but it was too late.
The Klingon hearts destroyed the gods who created them and turned the heavens to ashes.
To this very day, no one can oppose the beating of two Klingon hearts."
Alaren Thalasa died from an aneurysm caused by blunt trauma to her head. She had been incarcerated for refusing a direct order. Her concern was for the welfare of the children of Bajor and the fact that she knew all was not as it should be within her government. She was certain that the 'vaccinations' she was ordered to give would be detrimental to the future of Bajor and refused. Her last conscious thought before she slipped away were of those she had loved and had gone before her. Her last dying sigh was the name of her daughter, Edan, upon her lips. Some say she killed herself, some say it was accidental. If you knew her, then you know the truth. If you didn't... then you'll never know for sure. She now dwells with her loved ones in the house of the Prophets in whom she had always secretly believed. Thus ends the life of Alaren... or does it?
