Character Bio

Personal History

Several centuries ago various tribal/ethnic desert groups left Earth in an attempt to keep at least some of their native traditions and protect some of their tribal ethnicity. Such a group were the Taureg (native to North Africa Sahara regions).

These semi-nomadic desert-loving peoples settled on the dry and arid planet Usaden which has little standing water and whose equatorial region is a continuous desert, of dunes and mountain ranges.
Safiyya was brought up within such a nomadic multi-family group though they had accepted various modern habits and adapted modern devices to ease their lifestyles (so wasn’t all camels and sandstorms). Though, from an early age, she was disruptive and against what she saw as the stifling rules, regulations and burdensome traditions of her people (OOC: though she now sees this as an adolescent mistake and is proud of her Taureg heritage).
Following various furious arguments with her father regarding a wedding to a near relative Safiyya ran away from home and off-planet and, after some years travelling, joined Starfleet. Little did she know at the time that her younger brother, Igider, followed her off-planet and also joined Starfleet as a Marine.
Safiyya first trained in astro-navigation though decided, impulsively, it wasn’t for her and instead changed to Security/Tactical as she found she could also fit in her new loves of physical fitness and running.

It was while serving as an Officer on the USS Duneden, a Long Range Sciene/Survey vessel mapping the Gamma Quadrant that she was informed of the loss of her brother, Igider, who was serving on the Long Range Scientific Survey vessel USS Belisarius somewhere in the Delta Quadrant.
With this loss she felt a great weight of blame (matched by her father who also holds her to blame) as, he is sure, Igider would have stayed safe at home if she had just buckled down and not run away from her responsibilities.
This burden of loss stays with her still.
