'''Early Life '''  
Eliana was born and raised on the Federation Colony Lunar One to Aria and Patrick both former Starfleet Officers who had decided to return home with their son and Eliana's older brother Tomas and take up positions as Research Scientists in the colony's main research facility. Both Eliana and her brother spent a lot of time with their paternal grandparents Scott & Marie McKenna whilst her parents were at work and the siblings enjoyed that one on one time with them and Eliana was taught how to play the guitar by her grandfather as she always enjoyed listening to him play.
 
Out of the two siblings Eliana was the more introverted and preferred to be her own or with their grandparents whereas Tomas was a lot more outgoing and sociable. However despite her shyness and awkwardness around those outside of the family, that began to change when she reached the age of 13 when her brother encouraged her to join a local martial arts class ran by one of the colony members. Unsure at first until she discovered that she had a natural ability for Karate and began to enjoy the classes and making friends with those who attended.
 
A year later and Eliana won her first competition something she would always be proud of and it led to her meeting her best friend Perrie Macdonald and the two became inseperable. They would do the normal teenage things like hanging out, making plans for the future and generally being there for each other for the bad and the good. This close friendship proved invaluable when Eliana was turned down for a mentor role teaching the younger ones in the club and when she suffered a career ending injury when she was 15. The physical injuries were healed in an instant but the emotional and psychological effects lasted a lot longer knocking her confidence and belief in herself.
 
Coupled with being scared of competing again it led to her not wanting to continue and she spent the next few years finishing school and working several jobs within the colony itself whilst her brother and some of her friends left to attend Starfleet Academy and began their careers. This became too much for Eliana and she became withdrawn until her brother returned home on leave from his new posting on the USS Olympia and not wanting his sister to be like this encouraged her again but this time to follow him and join Starfleet. She realised he was right and not long after applied for the Academy and was accepted.
 '''Starfleet Academy''' 
Upon arriving at the Academy it was a bit of culture shock at first for Eliana after spending all of her life on Lunar One and it did take her a little while to adjust. But once she did, she made some friends and thoroughly enjoyed her classes especially learning how to handle the different weaponry and the drills that often took place to help them in tense and hostile situations. It was during her time at the Academy that Eliana found a new hobby in the form of hiking and climbing and took advantage whenever she had a break in her studies to visit different places on Earth to hike or climb with her small close knit group of friends.
 
She also took the opportunity to take a minor in Flight Control in particular how to fly a shuttle or small craft in case there was ever the need for her to do so whilst serving aboard a Starship and if not then she would always have that extra skill. There wasn't much time for romance either whilst she was there but wasn't averse to that happening once she was out in space.
