Personal History		Lytha was born on Bolarus 9 to the banker Ardon Taitt and his wife, Starfleet operations officer Aladra Taitt. From birth on, the next several years Lytha lived and grew up in one of the underwater cities on the Bolian homeworld, surrounded by marine life. As she grew older, she'd often accompany her father or mother on trips to Earth, where either of the two, or both, had business. When there, Lytha managed to convince her parents to leave her at farms or other animal focused institutions easily. With her parents so busy and not often having time for their daughter, the young girl grew to like the animal kingdom on both Earth and Bolarus 9. Once she hit puberty, her mother was beginning to push Lytha into a career in Starfleet, even Engineering. Aladra figured that as her daughter, Lytha must also love the same things she did. However she completely failed to see what her daughter really wanted, which caused a rift to form between the two. After her father fell ill, Lytha took the opportunity to leave her home, getting on the first transport she could find to Earth. Once there, she volunteered to help out on several of the petting zoos, finding herself a position. As she became more independant, she began to learn more and more about the organizations involved in the zoos, eventually exploring the option of becoming a veterinary. After several years of studies, she got a veterinary degree, allowing her to become a lot more central in the community of the zoo network she worked within. From there on, Lytha grew not just as a vet, but also as a person, feeling herself becoming more important and surrounding herself with friends from her new workplace. However, soon all of that went to waste when a powergrid failure set the zoo ablaze, killing dozens of the animals and additionally claiming the lives of her two best coworkers and friends. Unable to help them, this event pushed Lytha to seek new options and began a study for nurse. Years of time went into this study, but her dedication to never again being in the situation where she couldn't help a friend, or person, helped her get through the studies without too many issues. Working at a local hospital for several years in east Bulgaria, she received word from home. Her mother had finally tracked her down and contacted her ... The first contact from her mother wasn't what she'd wanted. The conversation started with her mother passing blame, then telling her Starfleet would have been a much better option. Eventually, the point of her father came up. Several years ago, he'd passed away to the illness that Lytha used as cover to run away. The news hit hard and the young Bolian needed time to process it. Weeks after that initial contact, Lytha and Aladra finally met again The visit wouldn't last long, however, as Aladra pushed Lytha more than ever to now join Starfleet. After a major argument between the two, Lytha said she'd only ever join Starfleet if her mother would die as well. 4 months later, exactly that happened. True to her word, Lytha decided to enlist into Starfleet. Not so much out of guilt, but because at this point it was her own decision, not the forceful hand of her family that pushed her in that direction. Added to that, she wanted to know what made Starfleet such an interesting concept that her mother would force her into service. Having completed the Starfleet Enlistment training on Mars, she was assigned to Starbase Hanscom. There, for several years, she functioned as a nurse, assisting in countless operations and procedures. Helping the others, being assistant in healing them and getting them back on their feet, Lytha gained an appreciation for Starfleet she'd never had. With the loads of experience, she finally took the step to find a post on a starship. As it so happened, the U.S.S. Boston had just arrived at her Starbase. Though the medical staff wasn't too happy with her leaving, they approved her transfer and Lytha was assigned to the Boston, her first tour ever on a starship.
