Biography & History
NOTE: This Bio is not for the 2258 realm character, it is copied/pasted from the TE char and will be updated soon!

Born to a family consisting of an Ancient Earth Italian Mafia family (the Russos) and a Betazoid-Keltonian Mafia family (the Perellis), Oriana was the eldest daughter of her parents, and helped bridge the gap caused by the wedding of her parents, both families seeing her birth as a sign their families were meant to get along. Before she was a year old, the conflicts between the leaders of each organization reached an agreement to begin helping eachother instead of stealing eachother's business.

Despite the fact that she was born in to a priviledged lifestyle, her father Fabio insisted she have as normal of a childhood as possible, and sheltered her from the daily operations of her family. During a turf war with a rival set of families when Oriana was 12, several of her family members died, including her father. At this point her mischievous side had come to bear, and her scores in school were barely passing, not because she wasn't smart, but because she'd rather do other things than school work.

Against Fabio's dying wishes, Oriana's grandmother Abrianna began educating her in the trades and operations of the family, as, because of the recent loss of life, she was now in line to take over the family if her only surviving older brother were to die. Once Oriana realized that her family was involved in both illegal and dangerous activities on a regular basis, she realized where her street smarts and cunning had come from.

Graduating regular schooling at age 16 despite delays and setbacks because of her grades, Oriana shocked her Grandmother and mother both by announcing her intentions to join Imperial Starfleet. However, because they did have operations involving Imperial agents, they weren't completely opposed, and pulled the necessary strings to get her ready in despite being below the regular enrollment age of 17.

During her initial mental & psychological evaluations it was discovered that Oriana had a minor case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While it didn't effect most of her day to day activities, it was found that when she actually put her mind to it, she had an extremely high efficiency rate at doing things right the first time.

Her "illness" (she always uses quotation marks) often caused her issues during the years of Imperial Academy, but it also caused her to excell at testing. Although she still had a bit of a "slacker" attitude, when she was motivated enough to try she got extremely high marks, and did the best in the fields of Security and Tactical Operations, including combat, though she never did much hand-to-hand training. Her illness was also partially responsible for her becoming famous for dispatching of 6 boyfriends and 2 girlfriends in a span of 6 months during her Academy tenure. All of the 8 relationships were ended by her for one reason or another, the last of which ended due to him "always checking out other women".

Her inability to open up emotionally to people also caused her issues, often irritating her counselors over the years. Through all these issues she managed to graduate at age 21 with her highest marks in the Tactical field. In late 2379 she was assigned to Terok Nor and the I.S.S. Odyssey, following the capture of the station by the Odyssey's crew. Though her rank was a matter of concern for her being placed in the post of Chief Tactical Officer, whether or not her commanding officer, Captain Ryan Kent, will allow her to remain in her post remains to be seen.
