Background:  Born in 2353 onn the Trill homworld as Kaydlen Andry.   Kaydlen is the youngest of 3 children. Her brothers are Jessen , 32, a writer with a wife & 2 children & Del, 29, a trader & pilot.  She is the only person in her family to be joined.  Her father pushed for his children to become joined.   He had applied to the commission as a young man, but was turned down.   Her parents,  Tauren & Kamali are a teacher & linguist respectivly.     


Kaydlen was a very bright child.  She was in accelerated classes throughout school.   She spent her time studying &  playing games & building models with her brothers.  Her family would have 'cultural nights', where dinner was from a specific world & dinner conversation was in a correponding language.  A little gagh & blood pie over Shakespear in "the original Klingon" for example.   Theirs was a happy family & they were well taken care of.  The children were all encouraged to persue their dreams.  

For her 15th birthday, Kaydlen recieved her acceptence papers from the Symbiosis Commission.  She began the initiate prgram soon after.   While there she studied history, the sciences, exceling  in spacial mechanichs & propusion theory.  She was also an avid gymnast, even winning a few local awards.

When she was 18, Kaydlen became joined.   The joining opened realms beyond imagination to the girl.   At 18 she was barely aware of who she was & now she had 5 constant companions.  It took some time adjusting, but she's managed to integrate her previous hosts.  She has picked up a few new quirks along the way though.  After being joined she became ambidextrous; four of her previous hosts were left handed, she was right.  Her third host, Etana, was an artist & gifted her with drawing ability.  Jayden was quite an outdoorsman & visited several 'points of interest' as he called them, throughout the galaxsy & bestowed upon her his passion for rockclimbing.  Her last host Neila, wrote holo-programs & brought her interest to Kaydlen.  Devi was an engineneer & furthered  Kaydlen's interest in the subject, cynching her career path &  Mina a fan of old Terran fantasy novels &  passed this love onto the following hosts.

In the Academy she roomed with a Bajoran who upon graduating was assigned to the USS Bonaventure.  They still keep in contact & are friends.  Her favorite classes were with Proffesor O'Brien.  The Irishman was getting on in years, but still knew how to make a engineneering principles & dry facts come to life.

After graduation she was assigned to Jupiter station.  She learned the ins & outs of holo-design.  She even got to help write a few sub-routines along side Dr. Zimmerman's original EMH.  She thought 'The Doctor' was not only an amazing piece of technology, but also an amazing man.

After a year with the design team she transferred to McKinley Station to persue her first love, engineneering.  She got to see starships form designboards to launch.  There she learned the intricacies of starship design & the finer points of propulsion.  
Kaydlen has recently been reassigned as the transwarp specialist of the Enterprise-F & promoted to Lt. (j.g.)

Personality profile:  Kaydlen is a bright personable girl.  She adapts easily to different cultures & can work well in a group.  
She is very thorough & determined in her work.     

Special notes: She's ambidextrous.  Due to her joining, Kaydlen sometimes exhibits odd, out-of-character behaviour.
