Raised on Earth by her mother Arianna DeBelleville, Eva was brought up as a human child and never knew much of her father . Her mother never talked about him. She knew 3 things about her father : that he was a trill, that he had passed before her birth and that his name had been Jebinn Voy. Her mother passed away when she was 17 in the explosion of lab where she worked. Eva drowned her pain and her anxiety about being an orphan, in her studies.

 

She attended McGill university in Montreal and obtained at 19 years of age a PhD in Xeno-anthropology, and was set for a scholar career. Six months after graduating she accepted a contract as an assistant professor in the anthropology department at LaSorbonne University in Paris. And that's when her life changed: 3 months after moving to Paris she received a message from the Trill homeworld from a young woman claiming to be her half sister. It was the first step of a journey that would bring her to resign her post at the university and set course for Trill .On Trill, she found what she wanted most ; another family, sister and grand parents, ready to welcome her. She embraced the life on Trill, even seeking a job with the Kem'Alta Institute. After 9 months she applied to be a host initiate .Being only half-trill she had to work hard and was herself surprised when her candidacy was accepted.

 

The joining with the Jaz Symbiont* was performed 3 days after Eva's 21^st birthday. With the infusion of the symbiont personalities Eva changed a great deal. Her life as a scholar seemed less and less appealing and she developed an incredible thirst for knowledge in subjects she had never been interested by before the joining. Being half human made the post-joining transition a little harder on Eva's psyche and she became more and more concerned and conflicted about her future. She then decided to go back to Earth on a retreat to find her "new" self. While staying on Earth, she reconnected with old friends who convinced her that applying at Starfleet Academy might be the only way she could realize her full potential.

 

She was accepted at the Academy on her first attempt . She completed basic training with flying colors. Eva then went on to pursue advance studies in one of the fields that became of interest to her after the joining. . She recently graduated the Academy 29^th of her class as a Doctor of Medicine with a specialty in epidemiology.
