Traits, Quirks
Her tail twitches in different ways depending on her mood. The happier she is, the faster it flicks about. The sadder she is, the less it twitches/

Personal History
Childhood and adolescence
Cait, the Caitian homeworld in the Ferasa system is a strange world to grow up on. V'Zara is the daughter and only child of K'tarrela member and former diplomat to Vulcan, R'Garlo. R'Garlo knew, after his wife died in a terrorist attempt on his own life, that he could not protect his five year old daughter all the time, so he had his assistant take her to a militia training camp, where she was educated and trained in the Caitian style of combat. This meant she was trained to move like a cat and fight with her claws, as well as basic weapons. But V'Zara, didn't think combat was her way so when her father's assistant taught her some tricks with the computer, she was delighted and took to it right away. When her father offered her a chance to go to Starfleet as a representative of the Caitian culture, V'Zara jumped at it and quickly joined the enlisted program and later, the NCO operations program.
2375: Starfleet Academy
Skilled with computers, V'Zara also learned that she liked helping others with their work and was good at taking messages and dictation. She flew through Basic Training at Starfleet and was asked by several of her basic combat instructors why she wouldn't go into security. She told them it was because war was not her way
Cait Starfleet Offices
V'Zara's
superior officers were very impressed with the way she handled her tasks
on her new assignment. She proved herself loyal, trustworthy and a very
hard, independant worker. She worked so hard that by the end of her apprenticeship
on Cait, she was working for the senior most officer at the Offices, JAG
Commander Marsh, who thought the young Caitian did stellar work. When
he heard that there was an opening aboard the USS Swiftsure, he was the
one that made the transfer request on V'Zara's behalf. V'Zara was excited
and her father proud that she would be representing her race in space.
