Personality & Traits

General Overview		Nevala enjoys to be around people. She likes to exchange thoughts, debate fashion, arts, cultures and all the other things which are difficult for a Romulan living within the borders of the Empire. At the same time she learned to hold all this back. Being from a family of lawyers, judges, and law enforcers, she knew how important it was to keep liberal thoughts for oneself. And it helped even less that her cousin Sonara became the head of the Tal Shiar. Now, as she is married to a Patrician and thus Patrician herself, she starts to get used to the constraints of tradition, which guide Patrician society. And she also learns how much freedom one actually has being Romulan royalty and how to balance both, constraints and freedom. This can result in sometimes embarrassing misunderstandings from time to time, but she is a quick learner. And mostly, her charm and open-mindedness allow her to ease any resulting friction.

Personal History

Nevala was born as the youngest child of two lawyers serving in the Romulan capital. The family was of minor nobility, one could say middle-class with noble background. However, they had a long history of serving. Many were soldiers, policemen or lawyers.
Her childhood was normal and her grades at school were average, until the final examinations where she excelled. In her preparations she learned as hard as never before and skipped her usual weekly meetings with friends. The reason was simple. She wanted to qualify for S’Task University for study, the best university of the Romulan Star Empire. To the surprise of her parents, her siblings, and herself, she graduated as second best of her class.
She was accepted as student at S’Task University and started to study laws, but after a year she changed her majors to architecture and design. The caused severe friction with her family as she clearly broke family tradition. Her parents were lawyers, her brother a prosecutor, her sisters serving in the police or Tal Shiar, and even her more distant relatives served in one kind of law enforcement or another.
After graduation from university she started her compulsory state service. Her background as an architect brought her into the Corps of Engineers, where she served for three years before she started her own business as architect.
Due to the strong competition of excellent architects on Romulus she moved to Rator III, where she stayed. Her business ran well, although not exceptional. But living on Rator saved her from the turmoil of Shinzon’s coup d’etat as well as from the Hobus Hypernova.
For her family, she was an unimportant member who did not achieve much, until in 2389 Telhas thu’S’Terion, head of a Patrician house asked her cousin, Tal Shiar chairperson Sonara T’Daran, for approval to marry Nevala. This was primary to settle all issues between their houses and especially those between Telhas and Sonara, but it also raised the T’Daran into the ranks of the Patricians.
Although the marriage was purely political, Nevala’s concerns did not prove true. She liked Telhas from the first moment they met and it seemed to be the same for him. Soon they fell in love. Now she learns to fit into her new role as Patrician and wife of a senator, ambassador and duke. She starts to like it, although she also sees the many restrictions her new role imposes.
