Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Elloma, a free spirit from a noble background, has always sought excitement and adventure. Despite growing up in privilege, she found the opulent parties and social circles of her noble life to be uninspiring. It wasn't until she enlisted in Starfleet that she truly discovered her passion for the diverse cultures within the Federation. Her decision to join Starfleet, however, came at a high cost. Defying her parents' expectations and traditional beliefs that only commoners serve in Starfleet, Elloma chose her own path. This choice led to a painful rupture in her familial bonds; her parents, unable to reconcile with her decision, disowned her with a stern admonition never to return. Now navigating the galaxy on her own, Elloma is on a journey of self-discovery, determined to forge her identity beyond the constraints of her noble lineage. Embracing the ideals and dreams of the Federation, she seeks to prove her worth not only to Starfleet but to herself, as she strives to be a part of something greater while leaving behind the shadows of her privileged past. |
