Editing T'Kusilaya (section)

==Background:==
T'Kusilaya grew up in a stable Vulcan home, and maintains a close relationship with her family, as Vulcan custom and her career allow. Her parents are teachers on Vulcan; her father a warp physics professor, her mother a teacher of young children. Her decision to join Starfleet was influenced by her close relationship with a favorite aunt who was in Starfleet. Her parents were neither surprised nor disappointed with her choice, as they understood her desire to interact closely with a wide variety of species amongst the stars. They encouraged her early talent for practical applications of physics, and consider her use of them in service of Starfleet to be a logical way for her to seek realization of her full potential. T'Kusilaya's family was, and is, stable, but not entirely typical of mainstream Vulcan culture. Her name means ˜she who posses a significant, resonant richness that moves the emotions." Her mother, especially, often discussed with T'Kusilaya the dubious logic of a race born with emotions denying them their due influence. Controlling one's responses, applying logic to temper emotional reactions, she considered to be an admiral goal; but the idea of emotion and logic being mutually exclusive was, well,illogical to her, especially considering that her observations of the children in her charge displayed inherently logical patterns within their emotional responses. Thus, her parents did not follow the Vulcan tradition of choosing a bonded mate for their daughter as a child, but rather opted to allow her to seek out a logical choice of a mate for herself as an adult, trusting to their upbringing and T'Kusilaya's own wisdom. So far, she has not encountered a candidate she deems suitable, but as T'Kusilaya is young as Vulcans count youth, she sees no logical reason to hurry the process.
