Personality:
T'Laina was raised with traditional Vulcan values, favoring logic and suppressing emotion. She possesses the Vulcan disposition of calm and analytical, even in the face of extreme stress. Decisions and opinions are made completely by logical facts, even if those decisions might seem harsh by human standards. Much like many who grow up on Vulcan and then join other races in Starfleet, T'Laina can find the behavior of other, more emotional races, confusing and irrational. However, she is always interested in trying to understand this behavior.
Learning about things has always been her own personal prime directive, ever since she was a kid. Inquisitive to the last, T'Laina followed the science career to learn about the universe and those in it. Her studies were also heavily driven by lost telepathic abilities, as if she was trying to replace the handicap by becoming more knowledgeable than everyone else. Vulcan's only suppress emotions, they are not without them and T'Laina is no exception. As much as she tries to cover it up, her inability to perform telepathic feats is a sore spot to her and she begins to feel agitated when it is brought up. T'Laina prefers to avoid the subject and act like nothing is wrong.
Her hobbies include further studying of anything she can get her hands on. As long as it is something new, she is happy to try to unlock its secrets. She is open to trying new things, challenges, and most foods, as long as they fall under her vegetarian diet.
Background and History:
T'Laina was grew up on Vulcan, experiencing a normal, everyday childhood like any kid. Her first major life defining moment, however, came when she was seven years old. She and her father often went for hikes outside of the city. T'Laina's curious nature got the best of her and she wandered off trail. The young girl slipped off of a cliff and hit her head. T'Laina's father found her and brought her to a hospital where she spent two days in a coma. When she finally awoke, her scans indicated damage to the part of her brain that granted Vulcan's their telepathic capabilities. T'Laina was now rendered incapable of using those abilities, disconnecting her from a lot of Vulcan's culture.
T'Laina attempted to cover her perceived failing by delving further into her studies of the unknown. At eighteen she was accepted into the Vulcan Science Academy and studied their for four years. After that she decided to try out a different path and went to medical school for another four years. However, T'Laina was unsatisfied with the idea of staying in one place and doing a job. She decided to enroll in Starfleet, as they were the ones who explored new areas of space. They granted the best opportunity to discover new species, planets, elements, and anything else one might dream of. And occasionally even things no one could possibly have dreamed of. T'Laina spent another four years studying with them to become an officer in their ranks. She graduated just prior to the attack on Earth and was recruited to Earth defenses during the assault. After the battle, she was assigned to assist with repairs and rebuilding for six months. After serving that, she was reassigned to the USS Talon.

Sample Roleplay:
"Well, I don't know what to make of it." Harrison exclaimed as he seemed to give up. T'Laina remained studying the creature and ignored the irrational emotional outburst of her fellow scientist. A lack of information generated by one's current research method suggested simply that one should alter one's method of research. Harrison had used the usual methods and had now given up. T'Laina was instead moving on to more unlikely ideas. It was logical to begin considering the improbable, or even impossible, when the probable ideas were exhausted.
The problem they were working on was the "Groglor", as the Inciniti called them: An amphibian type creature from the planet Incini, a world just breaking out into the galaxy. The Federation had sent an envoy to meet with them and they had partaken in a welcoming feast. Some of the humans on the mission who had eaten had died from an odd stomach infection. What they had in common? They all ate the Groglor. Something of a delicacy to that race. However, there had also been an Andorian who had eaten the Groglor and was perfectly fine. The medical team had done their report and were calling it a possible racial allergy. The science team, however, was tasked with studying the creature itself to try and find answers. T'Laina's computer beeped, letting her know it was done the scan she had set up.
"What's that?" Harrison asked. T'Laina checked the readout before answering.
"Fascinating. This creature's cells are giving off very low levels of an unknown radiation." T'Laina said.
"What? But we did a radiation scan!" Harrison replied.
"The levels are too low for normal radiation scans. I re-calibrated the sensors to trigger on minuscule levels." T'Laina told him.
"But if the levels are that low they shouldn't be harmful."
"Perhaps." T'Laina responded. Low levels were irrelevant in regards to potency and this was an uncatalogued type of radiation. However, scans were indicating that it wasn't dangerous. She brought up the medical records of the incident, including the Humans, the Andorian, and a scan of an Inciniti. She quickly read over the details, focusing on the stomach: the place where the infection had been. If the radiation was harmless from the meat directly, then perhaps a catalyst? T'Laina looked away for a moment, then got up from her seat to fetch something. She came back with a vial of liquid and a Pasteur pipette. She put on a mask and then dripped a bit of the liquid onto her sample.
The reaction was instant, the sample exploding with a pop into a gaseous form. T'Laina rolled her chair back away from the small cloud and Harrison fell back from his to the floor. The cloud dissipated quickly and her scanner's radiation detection shifted to zero.
"Hmm." T'Laina said.
"'Hmm'!? That's all you have to say for yourself!?" Harrison shouted. T'Laina quirked an eyebrow at him before moving back to her computer. Really, did he think the emotional outburst was helping anything.
"Admittedly, I did not expect it to react that much. However, the radiation has completely evaporated, and that much I did anticipate. There had been no evidence of radiation in the medical reports." T'Laina said. She held up the vial to show Harrison, "This is hydrochloric acid. There is a small amount of it within Human gastric acid, however it is absent from both Inciniti and Andorian digestive systems. The radiation given off the cells of the animal reacts negatively with hydrochloric acid and when the two met in the stomachs of the Humans at the feast, the result likely poisoned the group." T'Laina said. She was quite confidant in the result herself.
"Er, should I be worried?" Harrison asked.
"You should be fine. You were not close enough to breath it and it seems the gas dilutes and evaporates quickly within oxygen. Inciniti has a much thinner oxygen level than Earth, so it would be far more lasting their." T'Laina considered that for a moment, "Though it does sounds like a far more comfortable planet." she stated. Human's did seem to need to gorge themselves on oxygen. T'Laina returned the vial of acid back to it's place so that it did not come in contact with anymore samples. She left Harrison to clean up and file her report. The medical team would need to do their own tests with her findings to see if it had been the cause of the infection. T'Laina also figured she should add a recommendation that only non-human delegates be sent to Inciniti for talks in the future and also planned to suggest further study of the flora, fauna, and minerals of the planet Inciniti to see what else held the curious radiation. While the mystery was solved, there was still plenty more to learn about that planet.
