Lwaxana adopted her larger-than-life and extremely flirtatious persona following the death of her husband, [[Lieutenant]] [[Ian Andrew Troi]], in [[2343]], primarily to mask her extreme grief at his death. This persona caused severe friction with and embarrassment to her daughter Deanna, of whom she tended to be extremely overprotective.
== Early life ==[[Unnamed Betazoids#Lwaxana's family|Lwaxana's father]] was something married a number of times. She described her first husband as "not much of a traditionalist; he rarely spokeconversationalist, saying it was for "''offworlders and people who didn't know any betterbut what a lover.''" Both of Lwaxana's parents and sister had died by [[2372]].
== Ambassadorial duties ==
[[File:Lwaxana candy fascination.jpg|thumb|left|Mrs. Troi aboard DS9]]
Lwaxana was a daughter of the [[Fifth House of Betazed]], the Holder of the [[Sacred Chalice of Rixx]], and Heir to the [[Holy Rings of Betazed]]. She had a tendency to remind people of this fact when she felt that she had been slighted or whenever she chose to establish her authority.
Lwaxana represented the government of A subsequent marriage to Starfleet Lieutenant Ian Andrew Troi produced two children: Kestra in [[Betazed2330]] at the and [[PacificaDeanna Troi|Deanna]] Conference in [[23652336]]. Shortly before arriving to the conference she exposed two Ian died in [[Antedean2343]] assassins who , although the circumstances of his death were planning to bomb unknown. When her first daughter Kestra died, the conference incident left Lwaxana so broken with [[ultritium]] explosivessorrow, guilt, and regret that she decided to repress all memories of Kestra. She destroyed everything that could possibly remind her of Kestra, and made her husband promise never to mention Kestra again. A picture of Kestra remained, however, secretly preserved by her assistant, Mr. Homn.
In [[2366]], Lwaxana, along with [[Reittan Grax]], was part of the delegation of the biennial [[Trade Agreements Conference]] on Betazed. She was kidnapped by [[Ferengi]] [[DaiMon]] [[Tog]] along with her daughter and [[William T. Riker]]. They were eventually rescued by [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]].
Lwaxana was part of Her marriage to Jeyal, a delegation of four [[FederationTavnian]] ambassadors visiting , produced a son, but she ended the marriage by marrying [[Deep Space 9]] in [[2369Odo]]due to her disagreement over the Tavnian custom of separation of the sexes during the child-rearing years. Her fellow ambassadors included [[Lojal]]When their marriage was dissolved, [[Vadosia]] and [[Taxco]]Lwaxana returned to Betazed to raise the child.
In [[2371]], she visited [[Bajor]] and attended [[Deep Space 9]]'s [[Bajoran Gratitude Festival|Gratitude Festival]].
== Personal relationships ==
=== Marriage ===
[[Image:Ian Andrew Troi.jpg|thumb|left|Ian Andrew Troi]]
Lwaxana has been married a number of times. Her first husband was a close friend of fellow ambassador [[Reittan Grax]]. Lwaxana described him as "''not much of a conversationalist, but what a lover.''"
A subsequent marriage to [[lieutenant commander|Lieutenant Commander]] [[Ian Andrew Troi]] produced two children: [[Kestra Troi|Kestra]] in [[2330]] and Deanna in [[2336]]. According to Deanna, Ian worshiped Lwaxana. Ian died in [[2343]], although the circumstances of his death were unknown. Deanna would later recall how she cried after his death.
Her marriage to [[Jeyal]], a [[Tavnian]], produced a son, but she ended the marriage by marrying [[Odo]] due to her disagreement over the Tavnian custom of separation of the sexes in child-rearing.
=== Children ===
==== Kestra Troi ====
Kestra was the oldest of Lwaxana’s children. Tragically, Kestra drowned during a family picnic at [[Lake El-Nar]]. The incident left Lwaxana so broken with sorrow, guilt, and regret that she decided to repress all memories of Kestra. She also deleted all diary entries pertaining to her. She destroyed everything that could possibly remind her of Kestra and also made her husband promise never to mention Kestra again. A picture of Kestra remained, however, secretly preserved by Mr. [[Homn]].
==== Deanna Troi ====
Deanna was Lwaxana's second daughter. She was born a few months before Kestra’s death. Deanna often felt that she was the parent while Lwaxana was the child. When Deanna was six years old, Lwaxana held a birthday party for her. Lwaxana disappeared halfway through the party and reappeared dressed up as a [[Koropian]] [[princess]], carried in a sedan chair by four men.
Lwaxana often considered Deanna to be "all she has left," and thus was often protective of her, hoping she would find a husband to take care of her.
==== Child with Jeyal ====
In [[2372]], Lwaxana was pregnant with her third child. This child was the product of her union with the [[Tavnian]] [[Jeyal]]. When their marriage was dissolved, Lwaxana returned to [[Betazed]] to raise the child.
=== Romance ===
In addition to her string of marriages, Lwaxana has also had numerous dalliances and flirtations with various others.
==== Jean-Luc Picard ====
[[Image:LwaxanawithPicardfromMenage.jpg|thumb|Lwaxana in Picard's arms, after he saved her from Tog]]
Lwaxana first met [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} in [[2364]] when she boarded the ship from planet [[Haven]] to meet her daughter, Deanna. Picard would find Lwaxana's presence aboard his ship to be an annoyance, but Lwaxana did not seem to be bothered by it. She considered joining with Picard, but thought he was a little too old. As she departed she commented that Picard’s thoughts about her were very erotic.
She would return to the ''Enterprise'' in [[2365]] while she was in "[[the Phase]]," a period in a Betazoid woman’s life when her sexuality was in a heightened state. She decided to concentrate all her energy to a single man, Picard. Despite arranging a private romantic dinner, her advances for him failed. The Captain hid from Lwaxana in a [[Dixon Hill]] [[Holodeck]] [[Holoprogram|program]].
Picard was responsible for rescuing Lwaxana from [[DaiMon]] [[Tog]] after she was kidnapped by him. He managed this by convincing the Ferengi that Lwaxana was actually his lover and that he would destroy Tog's ship if she was not returned to him.
Lwaxana apparently "gave up the hope" for Picard, but the ''Enterprise'' still remained one of her favorite sites to visit.
According to [[Doctor]] [[Beverly Crusher|Crusher]], the arrival of Lwaxana made Picard shudder.
==== Timicin ====
[[Image:Lwaxana and Timicin.jpg|thumb|Together with Timicin]]
In [[2367]], Lwaxana fell in love with the [[Kaelon]] [[scientist]] [[Timicin]] while he was performing experiments onboard the ''Enterprise''-D. Unfortunately, he was to perform the "[[Resolution]]," a ritual suicide which people of his race were expected to perform upon reaching the age of 60. Although Lwaxana desperately attempted to convince Timicin not to go through with the ritual, Timicin ultimately decided it must be done, and Lwaxana eventually relented. She then opted to witness the ceremony along with Timicin's family.
==== Campio ====
In [[2368]], Lwaxana exchanged personality profiles with [[Kostolain]] Minister [[Campio]]. Their profiles were very harmonious, but in real life, they couldn’t have been more different. Campio was incredibly tied to protocol while Lwaxana was too free-spirited for him. Their marriage was canceled during the wedding when Lwaxana appeared to the ceremony in the traditional Betazoid way – without any clothes.
==== Odo ====
[[File:Lwaxana Troi without wig.jpg|thumb|Lwaxana without her wig]]
[[Image:Lwaxana odo dance fascination.jpg|thumb|Lwaxana embraces Odo]]
Lwaxana also had a romantic attraction to [[Odo|Constable Odo]], the [[security chief]] of Deep Space 9. She first met Odo while visiting the station in [[2369]], along with several Federation Ambassadors. Odo returned a precious hair brooch for Lwaxana after it was stolen at [[Quark's]], and he caught her attention immediately. According to Lwaxana "''All the men I've known... who've needed to be shaped and molded and manipulated. Finally, I've met a man who knows how to do it himself.''" She tried to seduce him, unfortunately quite unsuccessfully. She didn’t lose her interest, however, and further tried to attract his attention. A power failure caused the pair to get stuck to one of the station’s [[turbolift]]s. During their time in the lift, they were bonded in a special friendship: he was the first person ever to see her without a [[wig]], while Lwaxana used her skirt to contain Odo when he had to revert into his gelatinous state to regenerate.
Lwaxana returned to the station in [[2371]] shortly before the [[Bajoran Gratitude Festival]]. She was officially there to take part at the festival, but actually she was there to visit Odo again. Her continuous attempts of seduction were once again unsuccessful. She suffered from [[Zanthi fever]], which caused her to project her amorous feelings for Odo to other persons. She was ultimately cured by Dr. [[Julian Bashir]]. While parting from Odo, she wished him good luck with [[Major]] [[Kira Nerys]], whom she realized he was in love with.
She returned seeking Odo’s help the following year, after she had run away from her new husband, Jeyal. She took refuge on the station, and at once depressed [[Worf]], [[Jadzia Dax]], and Kira with the sad story of her marriage. Her mood brightened after spending some time with Odo. Jeyal soon arrived in search of her, with the intent of claiming his unborn child. Odo and Lwaxana were married in order to prevent this, as the child would be the property of any man who was married to the woman, not only the biological one. They parted some time later and she apparently delivered the child at Betazed.
=== Friendships ===
==== Worf ====
Ambassador Troi commonly referred to [[Worf]] as "Mr. Woof", to which he always politely corrected her with, "It is Worf, madam." For a very brief time in [[2365]], when Lwaxana was going through "the Phase," she considered Worf as a mate, but decided Captain Picard made a better choice. When Worf asked Deanna to become his [[Alexander Rozhenko|son's]] ''[[Soh-chim]]'', he did not consider that that would make Ambassador Troi his stepmother; he ultimately decided to go through with it anyway. Worf once stated that Lwaxana was an "admirable woman."
==== Alexander Rozhenko ====
Lwaxana befriended [[Alexander Rozhenko]], Worf's son, while visiting in [[2368]] with the intention of marrying Minister Campio onboard. Lwaxana taught Alexander how to have fun, angering both the boy's father and her husband-to-be. She called Alexander her "little warrior."
Additionally, young Alexander had something to teach Lwaxana, reminding his elder of the importance of being true to one's self. Lwaxana had resigned herself to compromising who she was in order to not be alone anymore, and she shared this resignation (without mentioning the specifics) with Alexander. He then asked, with characteristic childlike innocence, "why?" which got her to thinking about what she was doing...and why. It was that exchange that finally led to her appearance at the wedding ceremony in the true tradition of her homeworld. As she walked up to the altar wearing all her finest jewelry--and nothing else--Alexander looked up at her, beaming with pride (apparently he had figured out what the issue was). Lwaxana gave him a particularly meaningful, and appreciative, smile in return.
=== Attendants ===
==== Xelo ====
[[Xelo]] was Lwaxana's attendant before Homn. She apparently had to fire him after his thoughts about her became too erotic.
==== Homn ====
Mr. [[Homn]] was Lwaxana’s attendant for several years and he often accompanied her on her journeys.
;[[2364]]: Comes aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} for Deanna's marriage to [[Wyatt Miller]], but they decide not to marry.
