Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Keelli is an unjoined Trill. Born and raised on the Trill homeworld, Halle Bann grew up surrounded by the rich cultural history of her people. From an early age, she displayed a keen curiosity and aptitude for the sciences, which drew her towards a future in Starfleet. As the oldest of four siblings, Keelli grew up with two younger brothers, who both took divergent paths in their lives. Her second oldest brother, Joris, became a skilled engineer, joining the Trill Symbiosis Commission, while her other brother, Bada, chose a more adventurous route, enlisting in Starfleet to explore the galaxy. Their baby sister, Velu, was a "surprise" baby, born when Keellii was 14. Her unjoined status initially brought feelings of inadequacy and frustration, as she longed to experience the memories of past hosts and the wisdom they brought. However, she learned to embrace her individuality and discovered the unique perspective she could offer to the universe. |
