History
| Personal History | Tesha was born on Andoria in 2367. She is the younger of two children, with an older brother. It was discovered in her early years, that she was much more perceptive and intelligent for her age. Testing revealed she had a genius IQ to the level of being a prodigy. She also had an ear for music, a beautiful singing voice, could play the flute, and had the ability to recognize patterns and quickly learn languages. Because of all of this, she received advanced schooling. At first, Tesha found it difficult to make friends. She had a greater intelligence, but she also had the immaturity that went with her age. While dealing with that, other children were sometimes jealous of her, or she came across as superior. Tesha got into fights, but as she matured, she found a balance and was able to fit into Andorian society. Tesha's parents fought in the Dominion War, so she and her brother stayed with relatives. Both parents survived, but her mother was wounded and received a medical discharge from Starfleet. Because of this, Tesha began showing an interest in the medical field. The more she read and studied, the more she was drawn to it. Though ready at an intellectual level to join Starfleet, for the sake of maturity, Tesha wasn't accepted until she was sixteen. Easily passing the entrance exam, she left for Earth, filled with the excitement of what lay ahead for her. Tesha entered the Starfleet Medical branch of the Academy in 2383 at age sixteen. It was an adjustment meeting so many different cultures, but overall, she fit in and had an amazing time. In 2387, she graduated fourth in her class. At age twenty, Tesha was assigned to Starbase 403. She was initially disappointed, as her dream was to serve on a starship, as her parents did. In Tesha's first year on 403, she had an interesting time getting along with her shift supervisor. Tesha's blunt and direct personality was viewed as a poor bedside manner. Her supervisor felt a gentler approach was better. Tesha believed that truth was truth, so there was no point in hiding it in false hope. Her successes as a doctor got her through it until she attained enough seniority to move to another shift. In her third year, the son of the base XO was severly injured in a spring ball accident. Tesha was there watching the match, so she rushed onto the court, stabilizing the boy until he could be taken to surgery. She was credited with saving his life. In 2395, disaster struck. Tesha was now age 28 and a shift supervisor, with the rank of full lieutenant. The daughter of a visiting admiral fell ill with an unknown sickness. All available personnel were assigned to her care. While on Tesha's duty shift, there was an error made in the meds given to the daughter and she died from an allergic reaction. Though it wasn't certain who actually made the mistake, Tesha was brought before a formal hearing. She was blamed for the tragedy and given the sentence of a six-month suspension of her medical license, a reduction in rank, removal of all supervisory duties, which was to be followed by three years of probation. Feeling she was unfairly treated, Tesha punched the security officer escorting her out of the court, breaking his nose. Because of this, her license was revoked and Tesha was dishonorably discharged from Starfleet. After her removal from Starfleet, Tesha couldn't return home to Andoria, as she would be a disgrace to her clan. Angry and bitter, and with few options, she decided to seek employment on freighters and other civilian vessels. The problem was, if she were to practice medicine without a license, she would be a criminal under Federation law. Out of desperation, she contacted a Ferengi restaurant owner she knew on Starbase 403. Spending all the currency she had, Tesha secured a license to practice medicine from the government of Ferenginar. Since the Ferengi homeworld wasn't a member of the Federation, she didn't know how Starfleet would react if they ever found out, but it was a legal document and her only choice. |
