{{Biography

|Affiliation=United Federation of Planets

|Retired=Yes

|Name= Ahri Ri'ven

|Friends=Tom Kent – a fellow student at Star Fleet Academy. There was always a level of chemistry with them but they didn't want to risk their friendship by exploring the option. Later in life Tom married and had a number of kids before settling a desk job on Earth. (see more in history)

|History=Ahri was born to middle class, hard working parents who were generally good souls. They taught her that the most important thing in life was to touch the lives of others in a positive way. They taught her that, that was the true meaning of life – how we effected each other. It was a philosophy that Ahri took on strongly.

As she entered her later schooling years it became obvious that she was strong at sports, she loved physical activities and pushing her body to its limits.

Weapons also interested her, more as a sport then anything else. The skill required to land perfect shots with different tools, guns, bows etc. along with other activities such as boxing type sports, started to mould her possible future.

While she wasn’t dumb, she wasn't the smartest – or more to the point, she seemed to think abstractly. When she wasn't doing something physical she was drawing, sketching or painting on everything and anything. Her grades were average but her parents knew she simply thought in different ways to the 'academic' minds.

An urge to travel coupled with her skill set saw her apply to Star Fleet Academy. She got in, but by the bare skin of her teeth and on the backs of many friend's testimonies. Once again, academically she struggled, but in every hands-on course she excelled, averaging out her overall exit scores.

It was here that she met a man by the name of Tom Kent and they quickly became good friends. There was a chemistry there but neither wanted to risk their friendship and so nothing eventuated. On top of that it seemed Ahri had different 'tastes' when it came to relationships which forced Tom to a disadvantage.

In her final exit exam Ahri flunked a very important test which meant that she could not graduate and would have to repeat. Tom was graduating and Ahri was restless. Instead of completing her Academy course, she deferred and applied for a security position on Starbase Charlie, where Tom was assigned. It was a private security role and paid very well with flexible hours. However it was on a Star Fleet run base and so Ahri was often treated like a nuisance when anything occurred and was asked to simply “stay out of the way”.

This didn't bother Ahri. With Starbase Charlie as her home she was able to take trips to far and distant places. At times living in other places for six months to a year at a time, only to return to a similar security position on Charlie.

Years passed by and Ahri's life filled with many whimsical relationships and travel related experiences. She worked on a studio worth of art work and was content. One night she and Tom got rather drunk and under the haze of alcohol slept together. It was a one time mistake as Tom was married and had three children already – grown and living lives of their own. Both agreed to never speak of it, which was fine until Ahri discovered she was pregnant.

When Tom discovered this he quickly applied for a desk position back on Earth and he and his family abandoned the Starbase and Ahri. It was a decision she understood and to this day does not feel bad over.

Her baby girl, Nica Ri'ven, was a beautiful little girl and grounded Ahri quite a bit, forcing her to cut her travel and time spent on art. Sacrifices she was more then happy to make.

Still Ahri's life was blessed and she was content. It was then however that her life took a horrible, tragic turn.

The Krynar attacked and destroyed Starbase Charlie. It was a rare time that Ahri had left on a trip to a nearby planet to purchase paints that she couldn't purchase on Charlie. She had left Nica with a Carer. Nica perished in the onslaught.

It was then Ahri realised that she could no long live life so complacent. She could no longer sit by and enjoy life whilst an enemy such as the Krynar destroyed lives by the thousands. It was time she stepped up and joined the fight.

Returning to the Academy she finished her studies in two years utilising experience and passed learning. She served on Stabase Alpha for a time before finally securing a position on Star Ship – the Titan.
