Bio:

 

Elaine, as her father nicknamed her at birth after giving in to his wife’s wish to name her T’Lan, spent the first half of her life on a starship. She was close to both her parents, and had few friends her own age on board the ship. Her mother served as a teacher to the children that were on the ship, but opted to teach Elaine privately, giving her as advanced coursework as possible. Her father served as an Assistant, and then Chief Engineer on the ship.

 

When Elaine was about twelve years old her father went on an away mission that included only three people, as it was covert. While they were on the surface of the planet the Trombley, and then the planet itself, were fired upon. Edward was crushed under a large pile of rocks, and died before he could receive proper medical attention. This fact has always made Elaine feel a bit leery about going on away missions, while at the same time causing her to want to be there so that no one meets an untimely demise as her father did.

 

When her father was killed it caused mental trauma for Elaine. She would not speak to anyone. Her mother, T’Pen, took her to Earth, where they lived with Salok. Salok, T’Pen’s father and a diplomat on Earth, welcomed them into his home in San Francisco. Even with the help of Salok and doctors in San Francisco, Elaine still would not talk. When some of the Delgado family heard of T’Pen and Elaine’s return they came to visit them. Upon seeing Curt, her cousin, Elaine began speaking again; everyone was sure that it was because of his resemblance to her father. They have been good friends ever since.

 

During her high school years, Elaine spent time in research, mostly of ancient Earth religions, as well alternative medicines from several planets. Having completed her high school coursework by the age of sixteen, Elaine took college coursework by correspondence for two years. She spent a year with an archeological group that included her aunt, Dr. Marcella Delgado, before starting coursework at Starfleet Academy at the age of eighteen.

 

While at the Academy she made few friends, keeping mostly to herself. She did become close with a Cadet Bach, who instilled in her an early bedtime. After spending a year working at Starfleet Academy, Elaine was accepted into Starfleet Medical, the courses of which she completed in four years. It is interesting to note that even though Elaine joined the medical staff, she does not like blood. At all. The sight of it causes her to become sick and react erratically and emotionally.

 

On her desk there are usually an assortment of things, including a lot of data padd’s, a small jar marked “lollypops” that actually contains small hard candies that come various fruit flavors and are enriched with vitamins and minerals, and on occasion you might even find her sitting on (or under) her desk.
