Editing D'Alin Tethys (section)

==Family and Background==
Raised on earth by her mother, D'Alin has never met her father, and knows him only through the stories her mother used to tell her of the heroic deeds her father undertook in Starfleet (mostly made up as D'Alin discovered when she was old enough to ask the right questions) and their fateful meeting upon a distant planet. Upon discovering that she was pregnant, Megan (D'Alin's mother) left her position as a science officer in Starfleet and returned home to raise her daughter. Despite numerous efforts to contact the father of her child, Megan was never successful. He told her that he was in covert operations, and Starfleet denies all knowledge of his existence. All she had was a name, whether real or fake, she had no way of knowing. Despite this, she searched for T'Var Bashen for many years. It was her mother's dearest wish that D'Alin complete her medical training and that she use her knowledge to help the people of earth, but D'Alin was determined to locate her father, and decided to follow in her parents' footsteps by applying to the Academy. She has no siblings and no other living family.
