Personal History		Born 236706.14 Her father had a job as an author. At the age of four, she moved away from the planet Andor, which she can't remember living at. They moved to her home planet to spend time with her mother's parents who she became very close to. Her maternal grandparents both died of painful disease while they lived there. At the age of eighteen, she moved from the house she had lived in as long as she can remember. At that time she left her first best friend. They moved then to be near her paternal grandparents only to watch her grandfather die also and miss the last days of her mother's brother's life, an uncle she had loved very much. At the age of twenty, she left her third home, this one on Betazed, and her second best friend. She then lived thirteen years on Vulcan, she spent this time in isolation, not making friends as she had in the past, but simply beginning her studies in medicine. At the age of 37 her father died after locking himself out of the house leaving himself in the sun, he had been intoxicated by alcohol at the time. Her mother and her then moved to Earth to be closer to Star Fleet Academy. Two years after they moved, her mother met a pianist and married him the following year. Being at the academy brought back memories of when she was younger and she began to long for friendship again. REPRODUCTION AND CHILDHOOD: This species has two genders and would be genetically compatible with Terrans, Vulcan, Betazoid, and many other humanoid species. Gestation period is 36 Terran months (3 years). Their young age only 1 year for every 4 Terran years before puberty. After puberty they age at about 1 year for every 2 Terran years leaving approximately 180 more Terran years for the healthiest, with a varying degree of about 50 years. The reproductive system is the last to develop completely and remains incomplete until they are in their forties (Terran). MARRIAGE AND SOCIETY: Childhood is deemed the most sacred of all life stages Sex is prohibited until marriage, the empathic bond of marriage protects intimate memories from being exposed to others, particularly children. The punishment for breaking this rule is simple, one is taken to a special facility where there are others who have also broken this rule or others that children should not be exposed to, children are not allowed at these facilities. The rite of procreation is suspended with medication until that time that the person does marry. From then, all intimate memories will be protected from everyone excluding their spouse. This will permit them to be in the company of children and procreate their own. Should one be abused sexually or any other way, by law the memory of the incident(s) must be chemically removed so that they will not be punished for another’s crime. The weddings are a simple, at home ceremony where the two wishing to be married become empathically bound and able to protect memories of the other, any memories one wishes to. This is known as the couple bubble. DIET: They eat poultry, sea food, fruits, and vegetables. Amara’s favorite food is roasted and salted sea weed
