TELL ME ABOUT T’STREI (did I spell that right) 🥰
You did!! I would LOVE to talk about my babygirl I have had her as an OC for sooooooo so long and she is everything to me
T’Strei is half-Vulcan, half-Klingon, born to a Klingon mother (J’egrahl) and a Vulcan father (Solek)
There’s a whole lot to T’Strei’s backstory. Like, so much that I have an entire timeline written up. It’s quite long. So I won’t get into it a lot here, in the interest of being somewhat brief. But it’s essential to know that J’egrahl raised T’Strei alone, and also she’s the Worst
T’Strei’s story is, first and foremost, about healing and self-acceptance. She first arrives on DS9 as a patient, though she’s already requested to be transferred there. She was recently rescued from a rogue group of Cardassians, having been captured by them prior to the end of the occupation, and she refuses to talk about her ordeal. Instead, she recovers, and throws herself straight into work as a security officer
She’s a cold, severe kind of person. Incredibly blunt, strictly logical, pretty typical for a Vulcan. But she has a temper, and she tends towards recklessness and impulsivity on the job. She hits first and asks questions later. She clashes with Odo constantly. She barely speaks to anyone unless she has to. She just goes through the motions day by day
But, like I said, this is a story about healing and self-acceptance. T’Strei does realize she wants something else with her life. She does make friends, albeit very slowly. And eventually she decides to change tracks, and she goes into medicine and works a lot with Julian. It’s a very important thing she realizes, that her hands don’t have to be weapons of destruction. She has a lot of passion for medicine, and takes great pride in being a nurse
She’s a deeply damaged person. There’s a lot of hurt in her, a lot of rage, a lot of trauma. She slowly comes to terms with that, and with herself. She finds a home with people who love her, even with the things she’s done. She finds a place to stick with through hell and high water. The road isn’t perfect, it’s bumpy and bruising and sometimes it hurts, but she stays on it. After a lifetime of never fitting in, she wouldn’t dare trade this. Not for anything
She’s a living weapon who realizes she doesn’t have to be. The daughter who refuses to bear the sins of her mother. Someone who has never fit in and so carves a place for herself. And she is also my baby my cinnamon APPLE and I think about her 24/7
