Arizhel, daughter of Shurin was born on the planet Qo’noS, where she lived for the first two decades of her life. She was interested in martial arts, and studied Mok’bara, starting at age 8. Mok’bara became her main passion in life. However, she wanted more from life than a future of teaching Mok’bara to Klingon youths, so she left her home world. At age 21 she decided to join the academy. This caused less uproar than might be expected; Arizhel's uncle Kozak had joined the academy when he was around Arizhel's age, and he ended up marrying a human woman Jania Celeste, whom he met serving on the USS Nyan. Kozak was well-loved by Shurin and the rest of the family, so they welcomed Jania with open arms.
Still, Arizhel was young, unmarried, and an only child, and her parents wanted strong grandsons. So in a very awkward conversation Arizhel's parents made her promise that if she married someone she met in Starfleet, that he be a strong warrior. She consented to this, as this is what she would have done anyways. She’d much rather spend time training with her bat’leth than going to movies or rock concerts or whatever it is that humans do for fun. So if someone hits on her inappropriately, she usually punches him. If she thinks she might like him, she’ll challenge him to one on one combat, and if he beats her, she’ll go on a first date with him. But so far she’s always won, and she likes it that way.
Arizhel somewhat randomly took up knitting while she was in the academy. Since she couldn’t very well be walking around with huge weapons during her classes, she decided that knitting needles were small, pointy, and potentially very dangerous. But it turns out that she actually likes the art of making useful items from string.
