Family

S'chrya K'Bahl T'Veri (Mother)

Classified (via Vulcan Order). Not much is known about Kali's biological mother, but she was half-Vulcan and her relationship with Kali's father was strictly business. She wasted little time signing over parental rights to Kali's father after her birth. Caleb's refusal to speak about her was a prominent hurdle between him and his daughter's relationship.

Caleb Reyes (Father)

Former Head Chairman of Reyes Colonial Industries. He was assassinated along with the entire board in the Romulan Neutral Zone when Kali was seventeen. Official news sources claim Orion pirates were to blame, but within the colonial circuit rumors abound that that the company's sketchy colonization efforts in neighboring star systems provoked the Romulans. Kali was not very close to her father, but she did take his death hard enough to blow off the grid.

Grey Ryder (Godfather)

Retired Starfleet Officer employed in private sector security for Reyes Industries. He and Kali's father go back decades and was there for her birth christening and everything after. She considers him the closest she ever had to a father and was the reason why she was enlisted into Starfleet.

Early life

She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. With her father's juggernaut company in colonial affairs blooming in latinum, Kali often followed along the steps of the other wealthy and privileged children but found something lacking with their company. Without proper mental guidance, Kali often had behavioral problems growing up thanks to her minuscule Vulcan biology, many of which came from intensified emotional outbursts. This typically translated to physical confrontation with her peers. She was spitfire spoiled - an energetic puppy without an outlet to sink her mental teeth into.

In her early years, her growing boredom and lack of mental stimulation caused her to start disassembling and tweaking household appliances as early as five years old. Her caregivers ended up beside themselves with disassembled replicators and erratic environmental controls; the entire lavish household became a glitchy mess. This caused more problems between her and her busy father, who had no idea how to deal with a child, let alone one that was part Vulcan. Her father refused to bring in a Vulcan teacher to calm her mind for reasons unknown, though her godfather implied bad blood between Shi'kahr and RCI.

Instead Kali was sent off to many early learning academies - preferably courses in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering - in the hope she could be weaned out of her tinkering phase. At the age of 15, she had already devoured her entire academia core for her age group and was encouraged to start taking pre-requisite Starfleet Academy courses in Memory Alpha. With news of her father's death, she dropped off the radar at the age of 17 and escaped to Risa for a year-long celebration of 'social networking'. By the time her godfather located her, she had traveled off-world and worked as a mechanic for a colony illegally squatting in Tellarite territory. She was arrested, it caused a scandal, and Daniels made sure she did her community service fixing replicators and weather systems until he pulled enough strings to expunge the charge from her record.

Starfleet career

After Starfleet's Engineering Corps picked apart the hastily made but effective anti-aircraft cannon during her incarceration, they offered her a position of study that she could not refuse - literally it was a part of her sentencing. Unable to resist the chance to get her fingers into circuitry again, she eagerly accepted. It was better than jail.

She was assigned to the USS Discovery as an Operations Crewman until transferring to the USS Challenger as an Engineering Crewman.
