Background::
A daughter of the lesser house of s'M'son, W'hama
was born at the s'M'son family compound on the
southern continent of Umrika, just east of Dinalla
and slightly north of the famed FIRE
FALLS of Gal'Gothong, in the seashore village of
Bardek Trel. The eldest child and heir of Ael and
Aearv tr'M'son (she had two younger sisters), W'hama
received her early education from competent hand-picked
tutors, completed a course of nursing study at the University
Ra'tleihfi, and did her mandatory military service aboard
the IRV Jhu-ehrie (Emerald Angel, a hospital ship) as a
Shrike (Rihannsu marine/med-tech). At the end of her
mandatory service, she reenlisted for two additional 5
year terms of service also aboard the Jhu-ehrie.
Her parents, both
minor artists of some reknown on ch'Rihan, lived simply, eschewing
the pomp and circumstance generally found in the houses of
the Rihannsu lesser nobility. The s'M'son hall was well
known as a haven for "free-thinking artists, and
writers" until the family came under suspicion as
being part of the ever growing Rihannsu reunificationistic
underground movement. Within the space of a single month,
both her parents died in "mysterious
accidents", and her sisters "disappeared" without a trace following a
pointed and thorough investigation by the Tal Shiar. Upon
learning of the deaths and disappearances, W'hama resigned
her commission, returning at once to take up her duties as
heir to the house. However, it was soon apparent
that the still ongoing Tal Shiar
retaliation/investigation, now turned into something of
"witch hunt", posed a clear and
present danger not only to herself, but to the only
remaining members of her immediate family, her young
niece and nephew, R'Beca and R'Imus (age 13
months).  
In a bold move
that caught the lurking Tal Shiar investigators by
surprise, W'hama managed to contact the underground and,
with the help of the mysterious "Madam",
arranged for transportation/asylum within the federation
for herself and the children. Under the guise of shipping
"commissioned paintings" to the famed Galactic
Arts and Antiquities Emporium on Star Base Bravo ,W'hama
and her young charges were smuggled out of the empire to
"relative" safety in the federation. Unable to
access the remainder of the considerable family fortune
(which had been confiscated by the Tal Shiar), W'hama
turned to the federation military in an effort to
support her relocated family. Due to her previous Shrike
medical experience, she was able to "test" out
of many of the required training courses, and, taking an
oath of loyalty to the federation, was granted a
probational position within the Starfleet Marine corps.
She was posted to the USS Atlantis in Phoenix fleet where
she served with distinction for two years. At the end of
her 2 year probational period, she was transferred to the
USS Peacemaker where she currently serves as Marine
med-tech. At the urging of Damascae Minesci Ro'wena t'K're
Fry, W'hama is also completing courses aimed at validating
her nursing degree within the federation, and is seriously
considering medical school as an option in the near
future.
Personality::
Cool and reserved with strangers, she has an intuitive
understanding/empathy for patient's problems and concerns.
Diligent, and hard working, W'hama is basically a
perfectionist by nature. She will continue to work on a
problem/assignment until she can get it as near to
perfectly resolved as possible. She enjoys teaching and is
an understanding and patient mentor to younger, less
experienced marines/med-techs. W'hama dislikes public
speaking of any kind and has a bone-deep relentless hatred
for the Rihannsu Tal Shiar.
