Background

Childhood/Background		Ba'el was born on October 15, 2373. Growing up a half Klingon among a human majority was difficult, particularly in light of the fact that for much of the Dominion war, Klingons had re-opened hostilities toward the Federation. Despite the short lived hostilities between the Federation and the Klingon empire, many people looked at her with suspicion. Ba'el however developed a gentle and caring personality in spite of her Klingon half. In 2375, Following the Dominion's surrender; Ba'el and her mother moved to the USS Archer, to be close to her father during his deployment. The following year, a run in with a rogue Klingon vessel resulted in her and her mother's abduction. Qib'wamwi: Ba'el and her mother Jessica spent two years aboard an abandoned, run down Klingon station. Life was hard, however she and her mother had the freedom to explore the station since there was no escape from the isolated outpost. At first Ba'el, still young and naive, held out hope that her father would come and rescue them. As the next two years passed, however, she began to lose hope that he would come. When Korath did finally free her, the two years of harsh conditions and her mother's death at the hands of Captain Durill began to slowly drive a wedge between her and her Father. She began to resent him for her mother's death and for his lack of desire to talk about her loss. When she turned ten, earth standard years, Ba'el went to live with her aunt on Earth. She made friends with a young girl named Jordan Thomas. The two girls quickly became inseparable.
