Family:
Jaquelle's father is Betazoid and her mother is El-Aurian. She has no siblings from this union. However, even Jaquelle is unclear as to how old her mother is. There may be half siblings older than her father, indeed several times the age of her father, that Jaquelle doesn't know about yet.

Pre-Academy Life:
As a child, Jaquelle was raised on Betazed. It was a pleasant childhood born of parents who truly loved each other. Jaquelle is a strong empath. On Betazed and other telepathic civilizations she has full telepathic abilities.

Jaquelle's Mother studied other civilizations, often without them knowing. And because she had lived so long she had become a valued historian to many of the civilizations she had spied upon. She was constantly in demand, even when Jaquelle was a small child. There were many times that her mother would travel and part of the time Jaquelle would travel with her. She learned much about a variety of civilizations, by just sitting, listening and sensing feelings.

Jaquelle would also spend time alone with her father. He is a doctor and professor at the Betazed Medical Academy. He was Jaquelle's confidant, mostly because he always seemed to know what she was thinking and how to help.

Starfleet Academy:
Like most, Jaquelle entered the academy at 18. She went through all the standard and command classes. For her fourth year she decided to suppliment her course plan with basic medical classes. After graduating, she decided to continue her medical training before heading out to the stars. They would still be there when she was ready. She entered Starfleet Medical with one years worth of credit for the classes she had taken while in the academy. Three years later she graduated, with her specialization in psycology, her true love.

Starfleet Career:
Jaquelle was assigned to Starbase 12 for her formal training as a counselor. This meant for the next year and a half she was only allowed to see and treat patients under supervision. The combination of her empathic powers and her exceptional ability to listen quickly earned her recognition as a skilled counselor.

While Jaquelle enjoyed her work, she still longed to get into space, to be out amongst the stars. She tried to find a counseling position on any starfleet ship, but found no immediate openings. So she decided to fall back on her academy training and take a standard position on as an officer on the next ship she could find. She ended up on the USS Griffin.

During the next two and a half years, she completed all her normal duties, and during emergencies routinely helped out in sickbay as an assisstant doctor. She also managed to get some counseling in, but only to those friends who refused to see the ship's counselor because they felt all they needed was "to talk to a friend." However, these friendly sessons reminded Jaquelle of what she really wanted to be. So when the Griffin was taken out of service for a years' overhaul and refit, she began looking for a counselor position on a starship. As the crew of the Griffin was moving on, most to new assignments, Jaquelle realized the counselor was as well. She immediately put in a request for the position of counselor on the Griffin once it was back in service. She was willing to wait the year or more it would take for the ship to be ready in order to get her dream job.

Personality Profile:
Jaquelle's outlook on life is basically summed up by: the glass is almost always full and if it isn't full, it's half full. The glass is never half empty.

Jaquelle values friendships and family dearly. She tries never to violate a trust. She loves to shop. But surprisingly she has a solitary side. She likes to vacation alone and at times she will skip social events on ship.

Jaquelle's philosophy is that if you are stationed on the Griffin you are better than just competent. Merely competent people are on other ships. Because of this she respects everyone until they have proved otherwise. Luckily, no one currently on the ship has done that. Because of her combined El-Aurian and Betazoid heritage her practice is to listen as much as she can before speaking, and tries to keep a sense of the feelings on the ship.

Jaquelle wants to be captain of a ship someday. She went through Starfleet Academy and Starfleet medical just for that reason. She lacks the cutthroat nature to be ambitious but loves being on a ship moving through space and feels that due to her heritage she has time. What drives her is an honest belief that no matter how bad it might be at the moment, good things will come if you just keep persevering.
