Personal History

Out of the many in her litter that had been given birth by her mother, only she survived long enough to be named. Even with technological advances in Starfleet Medical, an underlying health problem in his mother's reproductive system had given her only a small piece of her dream to have many children. But she was a strong woman, and soon set to work raising the only child she had been able to sire. They had moved from Cait when K'Rora was still a small cub, to the small Federation colony of Stangra 4 in search of a new beginning, and also as a way to let their only daughter experience a life growing up on a different place and mingle with different species instead of their age-old tradition of staying on Cait. They moved to the colony, but in fact it hadn't been their first choice. They originally had plans for somewhere like San Francisco, or New York, or perhaps somewhere on Earth. But after difficulty getting a home in any of those places, they slowly looked further down the list until they got a small, but comfy flat near the center of Stangra 4's colony.

Her father had tried his best to get a job in Stangra, and while the place had a small alien population, they were still the first Caitian family to settle in the town. During the first few years of their new life on Earth, they prospered very quickly, and even though K'Rora, according to his classmates, seemed to scare some of the other students, the felinoid did very well in school and quickly grew to be a much faster learner than her human counterparts. Soon after when K'Rora was at the age of 13, another Caitian family came to settle in, and coincidentally, they stayed on the same street as K'Rora's house. The two families quickly got to know each other, and she found her first true friend, H'Siarr. They were the same age, and over the course of 3 years grew very close together. They met often at night, sneaking into each others rooms. On one particular night, they got a little closer than usual, and they spent a passionate night together, only getting dressed and running back in the morning. But fate struck when H'Siarr's father started getting into trouble with a local loan shark. Their family, unlike K'Rora's, hadn't prospered well, and they were left with no choice but to turn to loan sharks to repay some of the debts H'Siarr's father had incurred during his previous dealings in order to continue supporting their family. Of course, if they had moved to Earth, or one of the core worlds, this wouldn't have happened, but as this was a colony on the far reaches of Federation Space, well, it was still very much like the Wild west. Soon after, a group of thugs had attacked their home, and while H'siarr's mother and father and siblings had escaped with minor injuries, their efforts to save him had ended in futility, and he slowly faded away a few days later. K'Rora had attended his funeral, and on that day, something changed, and the bright, determined child turned to one of hard resolve and cold fury. But K'Rora had an intelligent mind, and she spent almost years making her own investigation using detective knowledge she had read from books and a junior course before into the loan shark organization in Stangra after the police had abandoned their own investigation.

Finally, after a long time of convincing, K'Rora persuaded the local police to check out her findings. After her evidence turned out to be solid, the police conducted a series of arrests and raids. But the mastermind of the operation escaped, and rumour had it that he had escaped Stangra. But K'Rora had reached the end of his resources, and Starfleet Security wasn't going to launch an investigation just because the leader of a small-time loan shark organization had escaped into space. So that left K'Rora with only one option: Pursue her original dream, and join Starfleet Security, which was the most likely department to be able to find the mastermind. She had exemplary records from her schools, and she had set her sights on Starfleet Security until one night, she had a dream of H'Siarr. It was of the first time they had met, and in the dream, she remembered how they had been discussing their future careers, and how H'Siarr had said his dream would have been to join Starfleet for why it had been created in the first place, to meet new races, discover new worlds, and seek out new life. "Ex Astris, Scientia" he had recited the Starfleet motto. "From the stars, knowledge" he had explained to a confused looking K'Rora.

When she woke up, she scrapped all her plans for Starfleet Security, much to the confusion of her parents. But they understood, and in a way, they were almost scared of her ever since the attack on H'Siarr's home, so they didn't interfere much with her sudden change of plans. When she reached the age of 18, she quickly joined the Academy. Although many people had asked her about her reasons for joining Starfleet, she had kept her real intentions of joining Starfleet away from the officer, and so no one knew except her that the reason why she was now rebellious was because of long suppressed frustration and anger, and perhaps just a little bit of remorse-remorse at H'Siarr's death and her failure to find the one responsible for everything. But until then, she looked to her first posting with a different outlook than most people; this time to continue her search for the criminal and to fulfill a vow she had made in her heart to H'Siarr long ago-to devote her life to science in place of his.

Long-Term Goals: Find the still-missing loan shark that killed H'Siarr.
