Personal History

Arwen was born to Luanna Qi, daughter to a moderately powerful family on the Trill homeworld, and Hakim Demir, a human journalist. Luanna’s family was displeased by her marriage, as they feared that a half-human child would be a less suitable candidate for a symbiont. This tension became a wedge between Luanna and Hakim, who eventually separated.

Arwen remained on the Trill homeworld with Luanna and her family while his father returned to Istanbul and remarried. Luanna’s family treated Arwen well, but strongly discouraged him from exploring his human side. For Arwen’s tenth birthday, Hakim sent him a holographic tutor to help him learn Turkish, Italian, and English. Luanna’s family balked at this gesture and insisted that Arwen also study Trill languages. He found himself talented at every language he studied, and he continued to study more from both Earth and the Trill homeworld until he could read more than 50.

During his time studying linguistics at the Trill Academy of Science, one of Arwen’s teachers at the procured him an illicit holographic program for learning the Romulan language. Arwen enjoyed the indirect and twisting grammar of Romulan, and it soon became a favorite of his, even though he rarely had occasion to use it.

Arwen developed a romantic relationship with a classmate named Lumis Mara, who was studying speech therapy. The two of them co-wrote a thesis on the psychological effects of various types of universal translator. Around this time, Lumis was contacted by the Trill Symbiosis Commission, who invited him to become an initiate. A short time later, Arwen was contacted by a linguistics professor at Star Fleet Academy, who was impressed by his work and invited him to apply. Disappointed that he had not been selected to become an initiate, Arwen saw no reason not to accept Star Fleet’s offer.

Though Trill were members of the Federation, Arwen’s mother’s family saw his decision to enlist in Star Fleet as a purely human choice. They encouraged him to stay on the Trill homeward for another year and reapply to the Symbiosis Commission, but Arwen insisted that the Commission would be more likely to accept an initiate with an impressive service record.

Arwen and Lumis steadily grew apart over the next year, and they were no longer romantically involved by the time Arwen left for Earth. The two of them still had deep feelings for each other, and Arwen privately wished that they could bridge the space between them.

During Arwen’s time at the academy, he attracted a great deal of attention for his linguistic talent. His proudest achievement was writing a program that enabled the Universal Translator to recognize two Dominion languages, which he assembled based on very limited data. While he was well-liked by other cadets, he was relatively guarded and made few close friends.
